Weight Watchers Update

I've been on Weight Watchers Online for three months and as of Monday, January 3rd I have lost 34 pounds (down from 254 to 220), including about 7 lbs in the last two weeks. I suspect that number is artificially low because I weighed myself before my shower yesterday instead of after. When I weighed myself after the shower a couple hours later it showed 31 lbs lost, 3 lbs difference. My theory is that my dehydrated body soaked up quite a bit of water during the shower and the second weigh-in is the correct number.

Regardless of the true amount, the fact remains that I have lost over 30 lbs in three months AND avoided losing ground over the decadent Christmas Holidays I just had. I definitely eat too much junk food (Ummm, I love Turtles!) but avoided the turkey dinner traps of too much stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey, and desert. Plus I got more activity than just sitting at a computer all day long.

My next long term goal is to be less than 200 lbs by May 24, my 8th wedding anniversary.
