WEEK 8 - 1 POUND GONE

First off thanks everyone for the lovely comments left on my week 6 blog. I'll have to check out your blog Susan. This was another slow week, but I am trying to stay motivated. I think it is time to read some blogs from big losers and get back on the boards. This week I should receive my new order and my 3 bears (I don't know why I didn't get 2 with last months order) I was looking forward to those bears but maybe they weren't to be sent as I need them now as they will give me some motivation. I have 8 more weeks before a huge event takes place and I want to lose at least 20 pounds. However, based on this past months' weight loss I may not make it. I am hoping and praying my body is just taking a break from having lost the 27.5 pounds last month. I'm going to have to begin to do some chair exercises 3 - 4 times a week and that will help burn extra calories. If I can lose those 20 pounds I'll be so happy and feel a lot better for this important event in my life. Wish me luck that next week will be better. See you on the boards.

WEEK 7- 2 POUNDS GONE

Seems like writting in the blog has not been as exciting as it once was. Perhaps because the weight loss has not been as exciting either. Yes it is going down but has slowed so much. I started my new phone answering job on March 20th and sold one bounce house rental. I couldn't get on the computer during the day and was tired by night fall so I didn't post in the boards at all. Not much else is new. Everyone stay happy and healthy.

WEEK 6 - 3.5 MORE POUNDS GONE

This is fantastic! I have lost every single week. In the past by this week with the WW plan I all ready had a no loss week. I really like the simplicity of the NS program and the variety of foods. I can eat Pizza, Chili dogs, hamburger, chocolate, chips and still lose weight.

I had some pictures taken in a swim suit this week There is story behind this swimsuit, so if interested keep reading. If not, skip to the next paragraph. In 1999 (when I weighed over 100 pounds more) I had gone to a BBW bash and a Lady there was selling swimsuits. I ordered one to be made and when it arrived I couldn't fit into. There was another Lady who ordered the exact same style and colors and I thought maybe I got her suit. I told the seller this and she said it was the correct size for me. So I put it away and forgot about it until this week. This week I had about 15 college students (who were on Spring Break) volunteering at my house. They did over 16 chores for me to try and get the house back into shape after the last 3 hurricanes hit here. Anyhow, two of the girls and I went through my closet to straighten it out and come upon the suit. After they all left I tried to put on the suit. As I slowly pulled and tugged I finally got the panties up over my hips and even fit into the top part of the suit. There never was much support in the swimsuit for me so the ladies aren't in the proper place, but I had it on! Saturday I had a very close friend of mine take some pictures. I probably should have had some taken when I was 33 pounds heavier but I have so much to lose that I am sure the 33 pounds loss wouldn't show that much. I will have more taken in May, which will be 4 months I have been on program. Of course no one will see any of these pictures until I get to goal.

Well folks I don't know how many are reading the blog as I don't see any comments. But if you are reading it I hope you have enjoyed reading about this week and my success in doing it the NS Weigh. I hope you all have a happy and healthy week. See you on the boards.

WEEK 5 - 2 MORE POUNDS GONE

Oops! I forgot to post here last week. The fifth week of being on the program. Let's see if I can remember the week. Oh yes I avoid the temptation of donuts that stared at me for over 1 1/2 hours. Turns out one of my clients didn't show for her lesson and I had to wait in the employee lounge area (I only work 2 days and don't have an office). Sitting there on one of the tables was a box with Dunkin Donuts and some of them were my favorite kind. I had plenty of lesson plans to write so I kept my eyes on the plans and had a diet coke. It was very tempting when 3 Ladies came in and took donuts but I kept saying to myself "You don't want those donuts they are poision". I tried to remember the way I felt after eating them in the past. They maybe tasted good going down but for at least 3 hours afterward I had a feeling like a brick was in my stomach. Yes well, there was a "brick of lard" I avoided the temptation and my reward was a 2 pound loss. Hurray what a nice reward.

Also this week I got my second order. I was a bit disappointed though as I didn't get the 2 bears I thought I would. I have heard so much about those bears and was excited to think I will have a new bear collections and one that shows my weight loss. I also got another extra week of food - I didn't think I asked for that but the bill doesn't shows the cost for the extra week. So I guess that is my second week free for signing up. I also didn't like the moldy NS chocolate cake. I had seen on the boards some people were talking about it and hoped I didn't get any. After I saw it was moldy I went to the package and there was no expiration date. I called them and they said they would send out another one or something different. . The second one I ordered was fine. In the grocery store I found some veggie ground beef, and sausage and hot dogs. I had a real nice chili dog for dinner one night. Used the NS chili, the veggie dog and one of my breads along with a big salad. I also tried the NS hamburger and added lettuce etc. Felt good to eat a bit differently than I had been eating. Well folks stay healthy and happy and see you on the boards.
