Weigh-In #11

Last Saturday, I lost 3.6 pounds, which takes my total to 26.6.

I had a really good week. So really, I only have 1.4 pounds to my 10% goal and 3.6 to my vacation goal. So completely do-able!

I think there are a few people who are really inspired by my weight loss. I have had several inquisitions about WW and the program and how I am doing so well on it. Too bad you don't get referral bonuses, because I think I'm sending like 3 people there...LOL. It's got to be the best advertisement to see someone actually do it and lose the weight. It makes me feel good that I can be a role model for weight loss. I would have never thought that'd be me.

Weigh-In #9 & #10

Wow, I missed 2 weeks on here. I've been a busy girl lately (see my other blog)...

Even though I've been busy, I've been able to keep on track!! I lost 2.0 at my 9th weigh in and 1.4 at my 10th weigh in.

Total weigh loss since joining WW - 23 pounds!!

This past weekend I had two parties. Both parties I passed up on the fattening cake and chose better "sweet" options. I've eaten a lot of fruit the past few days too, I think I might turn into a watermelon...LOL.

My new goal is that I have 5 weigh ins left until my vacation to Myrtle Beach. I was hoping to reach my 10% goal by then. That means I have 5 weeks to lose 5 pounds...totally do-able! Part of me wants to up my "goal" to lose 10 lbs by my trip, but I don't want to be bummed if it is too high of a goal to reach. 2 pounds a week is really asking a lot of my body. Especially since I'm trying to do this the right way. Sooo...I've decided that I'd like to get below 250 before my vacation. That means I need to lose 7.2 lbs in 5 weeks. That is more like around 1.4 ish weight loss each week.

My next dilemma is...my pants and shorts are starting to get baggy. I know, insert the big huge WOO HOO right here. They are actually staring to get to the uncomfortable stage of bigness. Plus, they look like shit on me, because they are too big. I'd like to get some new summer-y clothes for vacation. What's the problem, you ask? Well, I'm really hoping to not be in this size for next summer, so I'd pretty much be buying clothes for a vacation (and the remainder of the summer, which is really not that much longer....sigh). So, what do I do? Do I just suck it up and get a belt and look like a droopy slob? Or, do I splurge on clothes that I'll hopefully only get to wear a handful of times? I really have a hard time buying new clothes for myself, so you can see why this is such a dilemma.

Any suggestions would be great! What do you all think I should do? (If there is anyone out there...LOL).
