So I was really excited about my WI this morning, I got on the scale, saw exactly what I thought I wanted to see...124.5!! I'm thinking "YES" I am down a pound, at least!!! NOPE, got to work to sign onto WW and realized that my WI last week was 124.6, I only lost an ounce! Oh well, I am still excited about it. This means that I am officially under the 125 mark (my original WW goal). I still would like to get down to 120, so back to tracking.
I have been a horrible eater since school has started, seriously...I am talking 4-5 points during the day and then eating a rice krispie bar or a slice of pizza for dinner. I haven't tracked on the weekends, but continuing to eat reasonably. It seems like we haven't been home much on the weekends, I think I might try to make some crock-pot meals so we are forced to stay at home. We are both getting excited to start planning, okay, maybe I am excited and he pretends really well!!
On another note, the idea of wearing a BM dress has influenced a couple of my good friends. One of my best friends is joining WW!!! Hooray, I am so excited for her. She wants to loose about 20 lbs over the next 6 months, totally possible. This is my friend that works with me and goes to school with me, I am hoping I can help her with ideas, etc... My sister is also working to loose some weight before the big day, although she isn't very focused. I am trying to send her recipes and ideas to make it a little easier, but they live a very different lifestyle then I do (eating out 2-3 times a day).
My mom and dad are both on a South Beach plan. My Dad has lost almost 50 lbs and the doctors have said his diabetes is 100% under control!! My mom has lost around 20 lbs. and had to buy new jeans!!! This is very exciting for her, she was always very thin during my childhood, but when her MS took a turn for the worse she was no longer able to move around or cook for herself. My Dad has started to cook her breakfast in the mornings and set out fruits and veggies for snacking during the day. They went from eating out 6-7 nights a week to only eating out 1 night per week!!! I am so proud of them both and it means more then I can tell you to see both of their health improve.
Well, I am off to read up on all of you. Have a fantastic OP hump day!!!

Girl, get thee back to journaling! You know it helps you! You know it works! Do it! :)
So glad you have some friends starting WW. That will make it a lost easier when you go 2 go out...she will want to be "good" instead of typical bar food.
And how great for your parents! That's awesome for them!!!
And your sister--eating out 2-3 times A DAY?!?!?!? Did I read that right?? You know how expensive that is?? Oh my. And if she wants to start WW, maybe that will show her that eating at home is so much better for you (and Rosie too!).
That's awesome you skinny minny!! :o)
I think it's great that your wedding is encouraging people to lose weight - and at least you've given them plenty of time to battle the bulge before the big day!
Happy Wednesday!!
