Goal -25
Loss 4.5
Exercise yesterday: 10 pushups
Calories 1100
Long term goal -17
Short term goals - 5 pound increments
Down 5, so first short-term goal achieved
I work out about every other day – weights, stationary bike, some running – in part because I want to gain upper body muscle and build up very strong legs (I ski, and don’t have an ACL in my dominant leg)
My big challenge is snacking at night, and trying to limit food/alcohol intake on social occasions.
Goal -15
down same 3
no workout
1550
back on it today
Goal -10
Down 4 ( but that is from high weight taken two months ago at drs- new scale arrived today so now I know )
Goal: -30
Progress: -12 since 6/7, -1 since yesterday
Calories: 1100 yesterday
Exercise: only 2 days with 10K+ steps this week. Need to improve or find exercise that doesn’t trigger acid reflux
I just got back down to last Saturday’s weight this morning. So I’m feeling like I’m on a plateau with weight gain over the weekends and loss to the same place during the week. I need to deal better with eating at weekend events I can’t get out of, like dinner with MIL.
Goal -17
Progress: 8.8 since 4/18, nothing this week
Calories: I’m following WW smart points at 30 per day with 25 extra per week. I’ve been sticking to the 30 points, rarely dipping into the weeklies.
Exercise: spin 3x, body pump (weight conditioning class)2x, hiking 2x this week
I’m in it for the long term so I’m trying not to be too despondent that I’ve worked so freaking hard for this and have had no progress at all this week. In fact, over the past 2 weeks, I’ve lost a whopping .6. Grrrr.
@3girls3cats, I’m not familiar with WW specifics. Do you mind if I ask you what 30 points represents? Are calories considered, or just points? If it’s too complicated to explain, or we aren’t supposed to ask questions on this thread, no biggie.
@Nrdsb4, points are assigned based on their algorithm that takes into account calories, saturated fat, protein, fiber and sugar. As a very general rule, the higher the calorie count, the higher the points value but it’s not as straightforward. Sugar gets dinged big time now as do saturated fats. So a piece of chocolate cake can “cost” you 25 points. A hefty piece of chicken (6 oz chicken breast) is looked at more approvingly, only 4 points deducted from your daily total. Most fruits and vegetables are “free.”
You can get more information from this tool. http://www.calculator.net/weight-watchers-points-calculator.html
@3girls3cats thanks for that link!
Ran 2.0 miles ( rebooting from a lay off)
Exercised restraint when eating out. Not a deficit day, but not an overeating day either.
I’ve had some stressful family stuff the last few days, and fell of the wagon. I’m back up and grateful to have this little corner of the Universe to check in to. Hope you all have a nice day.
Edit: I just realized that I posted to the wrong thread. I’ll post on the other weight loss thread, too.
Up one pound.

Exercise yesterday was getting ready for evening meetings. Planning on hitting the basement gym today.
Calories about 1200 - it would have been less, but I was starving when I got home from an evening planning board meeting. I had planned to bring a water bottle but forgot.
