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.
165.8/154 pounds
154 lbs is 11 stone

I have no idea if it was actually this many. I totally guessed on the points of the cookie and pizza crusts. I also think I overestimated the points on the Raisin Bran - so it could be as low as 22/20 points, but I thought it better to overestimate than underestimate.

Wow. I think that's the first time I've actually been UNDER my points. Amazing.
Obviously I've been jonesing it for sugar and fat lately. Sometimes you just get sick of controlling your eating. I have serious worries that I won't be able to maintain this weight loss AGAIN.
I'm hoping it will help that Bert has really got on the bandwagon with me. Of course, being a man, the weight will just fall off him. Especially considering he exercises FOUR POINTS worth four times a week and I haven't yet exercised at all.
