Oh man, what an incredible episode this week’s show was! So much inspiration – both by the contestants’ example and the sharing of their new insight. I can’t imagine how they must have felt to put those body suits on that made them their old weights. That must have been extremely difficult. But what perspective it must have given them! The video flashbacks had me tearing up, of course. They’ve all come so far and have put themselves through so much over the course of the competition.

There is a great article that I read shortly after joining Weight Watchers concerning the perils of constantly peeking at the scale. It was recently brought to my attention again and I still find it incredibly useful.
If you ever have a tendency to peek at the scale and perhaps freak if you see an abnormally large gain, this article is for you.
Why The Scale Lies

There are very few people in my “real” life that know exactly what my starting weight was. In fact, there is only one person that I’ve actually told the number to (one of my closest and best friends who understands and has struggled with her own weight). However, anyone who sees me and knows how much weight I’ve lost can pretty much make an educated guess about what my starting weight was or at least its general vicinity.
Now that I’ve lost a lot, I don’t generally like sharing how much I’ve lost with the general public (you guys excluded, of course) for that very [ ... ]

Considering the week I’ve had, I was expecting at least a six pound gain. Especially since I literally ate everything in sight. I saw it. I wanted it. I ate it.
Somehow, miraculously, I was only up 0.4 lb this week! It’s either a miracle, or it just hasn’t caught up to me yet. I guess I’ll find out next week. Keep your fingers crossed for me (or say a little prayer, whatever you’re into)!

Well, I was up 2 pounds again this week even though I stayed within my points. I’m afraid I may be reaching a plateau again. Ugh.

Okay, people…the ship is going down and I’m sending out an SOS. I don’t know what my deal has been over the past month. I’ve stuck so diligently to the weight watchers plan for the past year that my recent struggles are really getting to me. It’s like I’m rebelling or something. I know that perhaps I have been too strict on myself. For the most part, I looked at sticking to my points like someone else would look at sticking to the law. I considered it a crime to go over my points. Don’t get me wrong, I did [ ... ]

Sadly, I was only down 0.1 of a pound this week! Ugh. I prefer to believe that it is a glitch – hormonal or otherwise.

I’m a firm believer that the BMI Index is a load of hooey. There are so many factors that go into it that there’s no way a person’s BMI can give an accurate view of a person’s health. A man could be short and really well muscled/toned and be considered obese.
I am, however, seriously disturbed by the fact that I’ve lost almost 150 pounds and am still considered obese by the medical community. Granted, I weighed a lot when I started.
I do, however, only have about six pounds to go until I am considered merely overweight, but it’s still pretty [ ... ]

After gaining 0.7 lb over Christmas and losing only 0.2 lb last week (after being out of town visiting friends), I was extremely happy to see a loss of 3.9 lbs on the scale today! I’m at -149.7! Only 0.3 to go until I’ve lost 150 lbs!
