Wednesday Weigh In

Last Weigh In Weight: 169lbs (4/14)

This Wednesday’s Weight: 170lbs

So of course it's that time of the month so let's add 2-3lbs just from that. Hopefully next week I will weigh in around 165lbs that is my goal!

People are telling me left and right I look smaller and I'm so taken back by it because of the reflection the scale is giving me. 

I've had a really off past week in terms of my schedule, hence the reason you have not heard from me. I went to Cape Cod this past weekend. I sang at a church down there on Sunday so I decided to make a weekend of it last minute. We didn't do much it was rainy but we had a really nice time away for a little while.
 I sort of have no emotion when it comes to this plateau anymore. I've been here before and eventually I know I get past it so I'm keeping my chin up because I know I will do the same again!! )

Something New

I’m kind of a creature of habit so when something that has been working all of the sudden is not working anymore, it’s hard for me to change that routine. However, at this point I have to change it up. I’ve counted points in the past (weight watchers) and it’s a great program, it definitely works. The only problem I encountered was that when I stopped counting the weight slowly came back, but this is a whole new ballgame now with the aide of the Lap-Bank® so I am going to give counting points a try again.

Here is the breakdown of the amount of points I get……

• 2 points for being a woman
• 4 points for being between the ages of 17-24
• 1 point for being between the heights 5’0” – 5’9”
• 17 points because you take the first 2 # of your weight (keep going up and down between 169 and 170 so I just went with 170)
• 0 points because I have a sedentary job

That is a grand total of 24 points I am allowed for the day. I’ve been using this website for calculating how many points are in what I am eating.

I am a HUGE advocate for the Lap-Band® but I also don’t think it’s the only thing that can help people loose weight but now that I have this band it will help me with self control and when I stop counting points I won’t gain the weight back because I have the band, that is so relieving!

I won’t be weighing in tomorrow as this post pretty much lets you know I am still dealing with this stubborn plateau. I will report back next week and hopefully after a week of points counting I will have good news!!!
