This weekend I went bowling with the Weight Watchers ladies (Vancouver Points Club) who live in my area. It was a blast! Check out this first pic...who knew XCalibur bowling would be X-Rated? Bwahahahhhah! MY EYES! MY EYES! It was much worse in person. We saw two full games of this chick flashing her jiggly bits for all to see. LOL!

UP a lb for WI today. Thks TOM, can sure tell you're arriving soon. I think I'll switch back to losing for this week. I liked the lower 140's better than the upper range.

ARGHHHHH!!!!! I'm going to jump off a bridge! ;o) I'm up 6 friggen lbs today! I went from 144.2 to 150.2lbs. How the hell does that happen? I'm so pissed off, you have no idea...

Down ANOTHER 2 lbs today! And here's pics of the 2 birthday cakes I indulged in this weekend for FOUR nights in a row. I still can't believe eating cake made me drop over 5 lbs this weekend. Crazy!

Geesh, I had another piece of cake last night (all within my points) and dropped ANOTHER lb. This is so weird! So I'm 146 lbs now. My weight range for my height is 139-167. I feel good :O)

So I had my first WI on maintenance today and I'm DOWN 2.4 lbs! I had a really, really warped week. The worst I've had on WW so far. I was SO incredibly stressed about switching to maintenace. I can't even begin to explain the mind trip I went through. I was SO resisitant to stopping the losing process. I feel kind of ripped off. Yes I should be happy, I've lost a ton of weight. BUT, this is not what I expected to look like. I am definitely going to need some plastic surgery (tummy tuck and breast lift), and I fully plan on having both procedures done. I think I will maintain my weight for 3/4 - 1yr first though, let my skin snap back as much as it will. I also feel a little sad that my journey is over, I really enjoy losing weight. Heck, I'm good at it! Anyways, because I was so stressed out, there were actually two days this week that I didn't eat all my daily points. I was 12 pts short one day, and 15 the next. I just couldn't eat. I was too upset, and had no appetite. I've only ever shorted myself in points ONCE before, and it was only 2 pts because I accidentally fell asleep early one night. This is not the norm for me, I am very strict about eating ALL my points. I smartened up for the next two days after that and ate the way I should. Then this weekend was my birthday, my anniversary, my sons birthday, and my Dad's birthday. I had 2 different set of company staying at my house. There was ALOT of eating out, and cake. I didn't count points at all, so I have no idea if I went over or not. I for sure used all my flex. I was SHOCKED when I stood on the scale this morning and it showed a loss. I thought for sure all that birthday cake, wine, and restaurant food would make me gain BUT IT DIDN'T! Somehow dropping 2.4 more lbs made me feel a bit more comfortable with my weight. Now when my weight fluctuates it should hopefully stay in the 140's. I'd like to stay right at this weight now. I guess we'll see what happens this week. I'm going to continue with adding the 4 maintenace pts even though I showed a loss. My week was so screwy I think I need to give my body a chance to level out before I go adding or subtracting anymore points.

Surprise, Surprise...I hate maintenance! I know it's only been 2 days, but I've been up 2 lbs on both those days. I hate seeing my numbers out of the 140's. I hate being so friggen full with a tummy ache, and I hate that I won't see a loss on the scale this week. I hope I adjust to this soon. I have a feeling I will see a gain on the scale come Monday. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Celebrating the 140's with a pic :O)

Edited to add, official WI for Monday was 149.6, the loss stuck and I'm switching to maintanence:O)



The infamous scale shot ;o)

I'm 149.6 today! WI should be good on Monday, if I don't screw up tonight with the dinner party I'm hosting. I may switch to maintenance after this WI, if not this week then next week for sure. I can't believe the losing part of my journey is almost done. I feel a little sad :O(

The scale shows me down a pound today (not official WI though). Wow, I'm a little surprised. I kinda had the feeling that my body wouldn't let me lose anymore. Now the question is...how low should I go? I'm 150.4 today. Input you guys! What do you think?

Weigh in Today = Stay the Same, I knew that was comin'... it's TOM.

I got my haircut!



This is a very good friend of mine, I won't let anyone else cut my hair but her. I swear she cuts each hair 20 times, it's perfect!



A really cool shot that she got of the back (love that reflection in the mirror).



Here I am in my workout gear. I took this pic to compare to my "174 lb" pic that I have in the same outfit.



A front and back shot taken on a crappy camera phone.



Punked out to go out ;o)



Enough Orange for you Happychix? LOL!

I am getting so annoyed. Why can't people just be happy for me? After my big loss this week I am getting comments from people that are pissing me off. Things like, "you're starting to get that sunken hollow look", "you don't want to go too far", and "you need to stop losing weight if you want to stay healthy". Why is it that people are so bothered that I'm going below my goal weight? I set my goal weight for the very top of the weight range for my height. I am now in the middle of the weight range for my height. What's the issue here? If I wanted to, I could go all the way down to 139 and still be within that range. I don't plan on it, but I could! My body fat % is 22.7, an athlete would have 14-20, someone who is fit would have 21-24. I think that I'm right where I should be. What do you guys think? Am I wrong? I think I look fine. Maybe I should post an updated pic.
