This week’s weight is……131.6. Yep that’s right I’m up a lb from last week :( No excuses other than that I’ve been lazy. Things are so busy for me right now that I haven’t been able to really focus on the things that make me have good weight loss like…meal planning, tracking, and exercise…But I want this week to be different! Are you with me??? Let’s commit to plan each meal, track everything we put in our mouths, and move a little more…then we’ll see what the scale says next week! Enjoy your day friends :) Here is a tasty recipe to try…

  1. I am at 148.5, down 7.5 lbs from 155! I totally splurged all my spare points on Saturday and still maintained to stay down, yay!

  2. Yeah! I'm finally down 1.5 pounds this week. Now I just have to lose the other 2 pounds I gained last week and I'll be starting from ground zero.

  3. Mmm! Looks good. I'm a "newbie" to WW but it sure doesn't come off fast. Grr. We made the Chicken Cordon Blu for dinner last night (the 8pt option) and it was delicious!

  4. I was only down less than half a pound, but since last week wasn't so great, I gave in to a few binges, I'm ok with it. Hoping next week will be better!
