Hope it works this time! Good news is that I am down 31.6 lbs. since I started keeping track online in 2009! I guess that is better than up 31.6 lbs, huh?
I am pretty much doing what I have always done:
Breakfast: Hot milk with Pero and some kind of flavoring. (3-4 pts)
Lunch: Soup (low soduim now) w/veggies (4-6 pts) & fruit.
Afternoon Snack: Fruit or carrot sticks, string cheese (1pt) & crackers (1pt).
Dinner: Soup or ww dinner (4-7 pts) & fruit. One of my favorite new dinners is to take 3 taquito size tortillas (2 pts) and lightly spray them with cooking spray. Then I toast them in my toaster oven till browned and crunchy. Heat up 1/2 cup ff refried beans (2 pts) with salsa and 2 T ff sour cream. Spread over the totillas, top with 1 oz. (2 pts) lf shredded cheese, or 1/4 mashed avacado (2 pts). Then cover with lettuce and tomatoes. Yummy dinner for only 6 pts!
Night Snack: I love grapefruit, peeled and sectioned, yum! I might also have some raisin toast and peanut butter (5 pts) or popcorn (5 pts) or granola bar (2-3 pts).
I now drink 10 to 12 glasses of water a day. Seems to be helping, and hopefully preventing more kidney stones!
Hope to lose a 20 more lbs. before Mark & Kristen get married in May! Wish me luck!

AUNT KAT~42 AND 42lbs to shed
After spending a week in Washington and eating everything in sight, I thought it would be a good idea to get my butt in gear! Marie mentioned this blog and thought it would be fun for me to join. After reviewing pictures of myself in Washington, I am REALLY motivated. So, here I am!I hope you all will join me and I hope that we can keep each other motivated. My goal is to lose 30lbs!! (maybe by mid sept?) We are chaperoning Holli's senior trip, which happens to be in Lake Havasu!! Wish me luck!

Week 1 - Mom ~ Here we go again!
Well, another year gone by, and here I am again. I'm still trying to get this weight off!!! The good news is, I'm down 5.4 lbs. since I started WW last year on exactly the same date! The bad news is that I'm up 16.8 lbs. since the last time I weighed in on 8/20/09! Bummer, but at least I haven't gained it all back! I don't have much else to share at this point, since I really haven't been on plan for several months. I will share more next week, after I weigh in! Wish me luck!
P.S. I signed up on Biggest Loser Pound for Pound Challenge for 50 lbs. and the food is going to to Second Harvest in Spokane!

Week 4 - Megan
Weight lost: 1 lb
Total weight lost: 5 lbs
Weight to go: 10-15 lbs (I might change my goal)
Confessions:
Candy is the devil! I don't think weight watchers candy counts when you eat 3 bags in one week! YIKES! I can't control my sweet tooth, so I am not buying any more candy! I will however still buy the baked goods, they satisfy me more, so I can limit myself. I am also having a hard time with hunger, I think I need to be eating veggies when I feel hungry. I did not get any exercise in this week. I have been bogged down doing stupid etsy dolls. I am doing 3 sets tonight and tomorrow and then I am pulling them off the internet for a while, they take up too much time and I have a lot of other things I need to be working on! I also didn't eat much fruits/veggies or drink water. Boo, this was a bad week!
What worked for me:
Sticking to the soups and double fiber bread. I am getting a little sick of soup though, any suggestions???
Goals for next week:
I bought a good amount of fruits and veggies today, I am going to cut them up and have them accessible in the fridge. I am going to try to remember to fill my water cup in the mornings, then hopefully just keep it with me throughout the day. I am hoping to get 1 exercise in this week, trying to be realistic! I think more than anything right now, I really want to tone up. I was down to 125 a year after I had Kate, but I still felt fat, because my body was so flabby, so basically I have changed my goal weight to 130 but I want to burn fat and build muscle. The End.

Week 3 - Megan
Ok, first off, where is everyone else???
Weight lost: 3lbs
Total weight lost: 4lbs
Weight to go: 16lbs
Confessions:
Jason and I got some fast food last week, I didn't think too much of it, then I went to the restaurants website (after eating my meal) and calculated the points...37 freakin points for one meal! I was astonished! Never again will I assume fast food isn't that bad for you! Also Mother's Day was not my best. Jason got me an ice cream cake and it was gone by Tuesday! OOPS! Darn that inner child! Don't worry, she's on restriction for bad behavior!
What worked for me:
The soups are still working like a charm! Also the WW desserts are a must for me, I am such a sweets hound, and would be in big trouble if it weren't for those! Jason and I also took the kids for a walk one afternoon, I pushed the stroller and we walked 1 2/3 miles. It wasn't the best exercise, but it was better than none!
Goals for this week:
I really need to be eating more fruits and veggies, so I'm going to try and incorporate those into my meals or have them for snacks this week, also I need to start drinking water and I am hoping to exercise twice this week.

Week 2 - Megan
Weight lost: 1lb
Weight to go: 19lbs
Confessions:
Ok, so I did just fine if I stayed at home all day and didn't have any company over. I fooled myself thinking, "oh, weight watchers is easy." Of course it is if you have NO temptation, but the second there is a cupcake in front of your face or a plate of warm cookies (or tub of frozen ones for that matter) forget about it! I just have to tell myself, one day at a time, even one meal at a time... if I screw up, just start over. No point in wasting all the good days I had for one crap day. I did not work out, but really hope to get a few work outs in this week!
What worked for me:
PLANNING, PLANNING, PLANNING. If I know ahead of time what I am going to be eating and when, it is much easier. I am a huge fan of the soups, they are convenient and yummy! I need to be drinking more water though.

Week 1 - Megan
Ok, I'm ready to start!!! I actually started on Monday, so I'll report back next Monday, not Wednesday.
Weight lost - 0
Weight to loose - 20lbs
The Plan: 31pts a day
Breakfast: Slimfast (16oz of milk and one scoop of powder, makes it go further)(5pts)
Lunch: Progresso 0-1pt. or Campbells light soups and a piece of toast (4pts)
Dinner: WW frozen meal or whatever I make for Jason (switch every other night)
My extras to choose from:
Coke 3pts
WW cookie or zinger 1pt
WW ice cream sundaes 3 pts
WW yogurt 1pt
Apple or Orange 1pt
and of course veggies.
May sound kind of boring, but It's easiest for me to have something planned (and easy) to eat every day, simplicity is key for me! The soups are all delicious and so that gives me some variety to choose from, so I don't get bored. The sweets really help me out, that is my biggest temptation, so if I allow myself little treats, I don't end up binging!
I plan on exercising at least 3 times a week and drink 2 big (hospital) cups of water a day. Off I go!
