Jiggle Challenge

I lost 0.8 pounds this week
That brings my total to 4.2 pounds during this challenge for a total of 2.74%

**I have now lost 14.6 pounds since Jan. 19th for a grand total of 8.91%**

Overall I was hoping to do better during this challenge…BUT, a loss is a loss, and at least I am headed in the right direction, huh?!

I am now 2.2 pounds from being “free” at weight watchers, and 4.2 pounds from returning to my ww Lifetime goal! These last few pounds have been the hardest!!

I know that the challenge is over…but I am going to continue to post my weight loss on a weekly basis to keep me motivated and accountable.

...until next week...

Jiggle Challenge - Week 6

I can't believe that we are into the 6th week of the Jiggle Challenge already. Those past 6 weeks have flown by! I was hoping to have better results at this point...BUT, I am headed in the right direction...so that is good!

This week I lost 0.8 pounds (not quite the 1.0 I was aiming for). That brings me to 3.4 pounds during this challenge for a total of 2.22%

*As of today I have lost a total of 13.8 pounds since January 18th for a grand total of 8.42%.*

I am still aiming to loose a pound a week for the remainder of the month of May. Since I didn't reach that this week, I hope to loose 1.2 in the coming week to make up for my shortcoming!

We have walked to the park the past two nights....the warmer weather that we are finally getting will help me to be able to get outside with the kids and to get more active!

Until next week....

Jiggle Challenge Week 5

I did not weigh in last week for the 4th week of the Jiggle Challenge. It was a crazy week with Olivia down at the hospital for her surgery, being off of work with her, etc., etc. (excuses, excuses).....

This week I did go to weight watcher and I weighed in....
and I gained 0.4 pounds! Boo.

I have now lost a total 2.6 pounds during this challenge for a total of 1.69%

**Overall I have now lost 13 pounds since Jan. 19th for a total of 7.94%

With only a few more weeks left in this challenge...and a few more week before swimsuit season, I need to kick my weigh loss into gear. I am setting a goal for myself to lose 1 pound per week for the rest of the month of May. I weigh in at WW each Wednesday...so I have until then to shed the next pound.

...until next week...

The Jiggle Challenge - Week 3

It's time for another weight loss update!

This week I lost 2.2 pounds this week for a total of 1.44% this week.
I have now lost 3 pounds during this challenge for a total of 1.96%!

**Overall I have now lost 13.4 pounds since Jan. 19th for a total of 8.18%

I am pretty darn proud of my loss this week. I hope that I can keep it up. I am now three pounds from being “free” at weight watchers, and 5 pounds from returning to my ww Lifetime goal!

This week I really worked on portion control. You really can eat anything you want...just in moderation. I also worked on not snacking after dinner. If I did need a snack I tried a zero point choice…fruits and veggies!

I still need to work on drinking more water. I plan on working on that this week. I also am going to track everything that I eat this week!

...until next week...

The Jiggle Challenge - Week 2

Well......this week wasn't as awesome as I was hoping for. It really wasn't that good at all. BUT....I was on vacation :)...and I went in the right direction....just not far in the right direction.

I lost 0.8 pounds this week for a total of 0.5% this week.

**Overall I have now lost 11.2 pounds since Jan. 19th for a total of 6.84%

I did lots of swimming on vacation, but not much other activity. I tried to watch my portion control and limit the snacking. I didnt do a good job tracking.

For this coming week I am going to try to focus on tracking my points and drinking more water!

...until next week...

The Jiggle Challenge - Week 1

Today is the first day of the "I Jiggle, But Not As Much As I Used To" weight loss challenge hosted by Rachel and Lindsey. I am joining in! As many of you know I have been on a journey to lose the baby weight that I put on with Olivia. I have always been a fan of Weight Watchers. After having Blake I was able to shed 38 pounds following Weight Watchers in about 9 months. I was actually at a lower weight than what I was at when I got pregnant for Blake! I am on a mission to get back down to my lowest weight!! So here goes....

I have actually already started on this weight loss journey, so today I will post a re-cap of how I have done so far:

Start date 01.19.2011

Week 1 (01.26.2011): down 3.4 (2.08%)

Week 2 (02.02.2011): up 0.6, down 2.8 total (1.71%)

Week 3 (02.09.2011): down 0.4, down 3.2 total (1.95%)

Week 4 (02.16.2011): down 1.8, down 5 total (3.05%)

Week 5 (02.23.2011): down 0, down 5 total (3.05%)

Week 6 (03.02.2011): down 1.0, down 6 total (3.66%)

Week 7 – no weigh in

Week 8 (03.16.2011): down 3, down 9 total (5.49%)

Week 9 (3.23.2011): up 0.4, down 8.6 total (5.25%)

Week 10 (03.30.2011): down 1.8, down 10.4 total (6.35%)

Week 11 (04.06.2011): down 0, down 10.4 total (6.35%)

As you can see, some weeks have been better than others. I struggle with the same issues that everyone else does. Work full time, two babies, husband to cook for, no time to work out, etc. I HAVE to make this a priority for myself!

I still have 8.4 pounds to lose to get back to my Lifetime Weight Watchers Goal. I am motivated to get back to that goal, because then I am FREE again at Weight Watchers! At one point I was 5-6 pounds below my Lifetime WW goal...so in a dream world I will get back to that....but first I am focusing on these 8.4 pounds!

(That would be another 5.48%)

I am excited about this challenge and think that it will be the boost that I need! That being said, I am leaving for Florida with my family for vacation tomorrow....(excuses, excuses) so dieting is going to be hard....but I am going to give it my best shot each and every week!

Bring on the competition :)
