Measurements

Thursday November 19th

Bust: 39″/34"
Waist: 34.5″/28.5"
Hips: 44″/39"
Upper Arm: 13″/11.5"
Lower Arm: 8.5″/8.5"
Thigh: 25″/22"
Calf: 16″/14.5"

So it's going well. =)

Weigh- in today. That should be interesting as I haven't been able to run as much this week. I'll try to update my weigh-in this afternoon, but then I'll be going offline for a while. Hopefully I'll be near goal weight by the time I check in after that. =)

Converting measurements

I just converted pounds into stones incase my parents check out this blog. This is excessively depressing!!! Because when I married I was 8 stone 3lb - so that's how I think of myself. 8 stone 3 lbs is 115lbs.

When I first started weight watchers I was 165.8lbs - that's nearly 12 stone!!! 11 Stone 11.8lbs.

My gosh!

Now I'm 150lbs. That's 10 Stone 10 lbs.

I thought for a while that 150 lbs was ok. But 10 stone 10 lbs is not ok!!!

Even my tentative goal weight of 130 lbs will put me at over 9 stone (9st 4lb).

This was a depressing exercise and I wish I hadn't done it. Such a long way to go. *sigh*

Measurements

Here are my measurements after being on Weight Watchers for ten weeks. TEN WEEKS! My good gravy! The new measurements are in bold. The weight my change as I'm weighing into WW in 40 minutes.

165.8/154 pounds

154 lbs is 11 stone


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHOOOOT!! I weighed in and I'd lost FOUR pounds!!! Four pounds in one week! How is that possible? I ate pretty much the same as last week and last week I just maintained my weight!

Oh. Duh. I've just figured it out. I was on a period last week. This week I'm not.

So anyway, my weight should read:

165.8/150 pounds

150lbs is 10 stone 10 lbs

I'm 150lbs. Wow. I think the last time I was this weight was...uh...last year when I tried to lose a buncha weight for my sister's wedding. Gained it all back right away though, because I hadn't changed my eating habits, I'd just dieted. Hopefully with Weight Watchers, I'll be able to develop the habits and self-control so that this will be a lifestyle change rather than a diet. Thus far it's not going so well on the life-change thing as I am CRAVING fat, sugar, and combinations thereof. But maybe, over time, I'll get better.

So, I'm glad I was dead on 150lbs because as soon as I dip below that my points drop down to 19 rather than the 20 I have now. I am SO not looking forward to that.

Next week, if I've lost 0.2lbs or more, I'll have hit my 10% mark. That means I'll have lost 10% of my body weight in 11 weeks. =) I'll get the 10% key ring. =) Not that I actually USE keyrings, but it's a milestone nontheless.

Next goal after that will be another 5%, and then another 10%, and then I'll be extremely close to my goal weight. So if I don't hit plateaus or fall off the wagon, and if the weight comes off as it has been doing thus far, I've got about another 3-4 months to go before I start the maintenance phase. It will be interesting to see how long it actually takes to hit my goal weight. Not that I know what my actual goal weight is. Right now I'm just along for the ride, seeing where it takes me.

Bust: 39″/37"
Waist: 34.5″/31"
Hips: 44″/42"
Upper Arm: 13″/13" (Though I noticed the skin is floppier rather than fuller - ie, the skin's there but the fat's going. =D)
Lower Arm: 8.5″/ I forgot to take this measurement.
Thigh: 25″/24"
Calf: 16″/ I forgot to take this measurement.

I currently wear size 10, 12 or 14. It really depends on where I buy the clothes and how they're cut. I have no idea what actual *size* I am for sure.

I'm allowed 20 points per day, with 35 extra points per week. I generally spread the extra points out over the week.

Welcome! =)

Oh these blog templets are soooo boring. There must be somewhere I can get one that's not hideously boring.


Anyway, inspired by Heather at A Lot to Lose I decided to make my own blog. It's pretty stinkin' nifty that she went on Weight Watchers about the same time I did.

So, here's my measurements after being on Weight Watchers for two weeks:

159.2 pounds

Bust: 39″
Waist: 34.5″
Hips: 44″
Upper Arm: 13″
Lower Arm: 8.5″
Thigh: 25″
Calf: 16″


I just checked in my book and at my very first Weight Watchers weigh in I was 165.8lbs - which, I think, was the heaviest I have ever been ever.

In English measurements that's 11 Stone 11.8 lbs.

I currently wear size 10, 12 or 14. It really depends on where I buy the clothes and how they're cut. I have no idea what actual *size* I am for sure.

I'm allowed 21 points per day, with 35 extra points per week. I generally spread the extra points out over the week.


When I first went in to Weight Watchers I was 165.8lbs - AGAIN! I'm like a stinkin' yo-yo. =(

The next week I went in I'd lost FIVE pounds and weighed 160.4. I believe this was because the first week I wore my running shoes and the next week I wore flip-flops. I'd probably actually lost only 2lbs or something, though I haven't weighed my running shoes to find out exactly.

The third week (ie, last week) I went in dressed about the same as the second week and I'd lost 1.2lbs. I was quite happy with this as I had attended TWO parties and had an Italian family over for dinner. The fact that I didn't gain anything was a miracle.

I weigh in on Wednesday so this week I'm hoping to have continued with the weight loss, about the same as last week. I'm hoping for 1-2lbs a week, no more, no less.


However, on Wednesday I take my daughter to college. That will be five days of eating out and I'm REALLY worried about that. If I lose anything next week it'll be a stinkin' miracle.
