Week 18: I'm A Loser... Again!

I was pretty frustrated when I weighted in last week. But not this week. I am happy to report that I am a loser... again!

During Weeks 16 and 17 I really lost focus. I stopped keeping track of what I was eating and didn't really pay much attention to the quality of the food, either. As a result, I gained weight.

Last week I hit the bit reset button and started following the Weight Watchers program once again. And, the strangest thing happened. I lost weight! I lost 3.3 lbs total, which is more than I wanted to lose, but I am happy with making up a little ground.

When I updated my numbers on Weight Watchers this morning the system yelled at me...

"You lost weight! Keep making sure you’re losing weight the healthy way – sticking to the Good Health Guidelines, using up your daily POINTS Target, and focusing on nutritious Filling Foods."

I liked that message much better than the... "oops, you screwed up" type message I saw over the previous two weeks!

I know I just need to stay focused and follow the program. If I do, eventually I will achieve my weight loss goal.
