I think it’s about time for a Weigh-In Wednesday post, don’t you? I am very proud of myself this week. I have stuck to my WW points every single day for a week! Okay, so maybe it’s not a huge accomplishment but given that this year has been CRAZY, sticking to a diet for one…

Weigh-in Wednesday: Being Awesome
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Weigh-in post. A month, I think. And what a month it’s been. So here are my stats: Starting weight: 156 Current weight: 147 Amount Lost: 9 pounds! So 9 pounds isn’t super impressive for a period of um, five months. But in those five months I have gone…
WIW: Making the Lifestyle Change
Real weight loss is about making lifestyle changes that last forever. Click for Source I think that is ultimately the hardest part of it–the FOREVER part. I long for a day when I can sit around and eat lots of cookies, chocolate cake, and buttery popcorn. And as gross as it sounds, I’d like to…
WIW: My Green Smoothie Recipe
Okay so SNAP is over and I’m caught up on orders and after Thursday I won’t even have preschool to worry about. Whew! The busy-ness can take a break for a while. And that means that I CAN get back on track with my diet. Starting with eating all the junk food that is in…
WIW: Why I Do Weigh-in Wednesday
It never fails to happen. In the Battle of the Bulge, right as you are finally making headway with your weight loss strategy, SOMETHING happens to screw it up. In my case, it was a whirlwind trip to California for the funeral. I mean seriously, how could I NOT eat funeral potatoes at a funeral?…
WIW: Skinny Taste
Do you know Skinny Taste? A huge THANKS to whoever recommended this site to me and second of all, HOW did I not know about this 128k+ readership site?? I feel sheepish. I have only spent a short time on there so far, but I think many hours will be spent on this site. The…
WIW: Low Weight Watchers Points Foods
So despite having the flu last week, I managed to stick to Weight Watchers every day. I even had Cafe Rio on Friday night which I think ate most of my flex points but I’ve been good about staying within my 26 points every other day. Starting Weight: 157 Current Weight: 151 Total Weight Loss:…
Weigh In Wednesday: Back to Baba
This is gonna be a hard post to write. So let’s just be happy and supportive and banish all condemning thoughts, mmkay? Two months ago I wrote about how I was still breastfeeding and everything was hunky dory. Well no less than about a week or so later, my milk supply started dropping. You remember,…
Weigh-in Wed: THIS time! THIS time! NO THIS time!
Another brutally honest Weight Loss post. Hooray. Do you want to know why I haven’t posted my weight loss stats in like a month and a half? BECAUSE I HAVE NOT LOST ANY WEIGHT. Here’s the prob: every week I think ‘This is it! This week I will do Weight Watchers and exercise!’ But then…
Weigh-In Wednesday: Running like Kermit
Have you seen that episode of Friends where Phoebe goes running with Rachel and she runs like Kermit the Frog? She says she runs like that because it’s like when she was a kid and it makes it fun. That episode makes so much sense to me. I’ve never really enjoyed running. No wait, let…
Weigh in Wednesday: Getting Dressed
What is one of the biggest issues you face when you’ve gained weight? Clothes don’t fit. It’s especially bad after you’ve just had a baby because you haven’t even tried to wear your normal jeans in months. And after wearing maternity pants for a little too many weeks postpartum, you try to squish yourself into…
Weigh-in Wednesday #7: So. Very. Tired.
I think I might be missing that part of my brain that tells me to stop eating dessert. And hence, no weight loss this week. Actually, I haven’t been trying to lose weight the last few weeks because I’ve been trying to figure out how to get my milk supply up. Monday was an all-time…
