Slow Month

Thought I’d take a minute to update on my weight loss. WHAT WEIGHT LOSS. Seriously, this month has been REALLY BAD. I know the medical weight loss people are going to freak out when I come in and show them I’ve only lost a couple pounds this month – especially after losing ELEVEN POUNDS last month. My next appointment is in 8 days. I’ve only lost 2 pounds since my last appointment. Two. That’s depressing.

And I know most of it is my fault – getting lazy for two weeks and not counting my calories, eating late at night – those two are the main reasons I haven’t lost weight.

Weight Watchers, on the other hand, thinks I’m doing great. Since I have signed up with them to keep me accountable I’ve lost 8.6 pounds. But according to their scales, since my last appointment I’ve only lost about 2.5 pounds.

With any luck I’ll drop a couple pounds in the next eight days. Last week I had hoped I’d lose six pounds by my doctor’s appointment, but I know that won’t happen. So if I can lose another two pounds for a total of 4 pounds then that’ll be acceptable to me (and hopefully to them). That’ll mean one pound a week gone, but is quite reasonable.

I will say this though – this past weekend I was able to wear a pair of pants that was a size lower than I’ve been wearing. And today I have on another pair of pants that same lower size and they are a bit big on me (someone commented that I needed to have them altered because they were hanging off me). So there’s that.
