The losing continues...

We are almost 4 weeks into our Biggest Loser challenge with the Paakkonen group. At work, we began a similar challenge. Each Tuesday, we will give our lbs lost or gained and the percentage. We've got some fierce competitors in this one so I am excited to see the actual results at the end. All in all, it is good for everyone involved and we are all doing it together. We will be starting week 3 on Tuesday. SO, with these two competitions, I am down almost 10 lbs! I have really been following Weight Watchers, however, we are given weekly points to use if we want and obviously, if we don't use them we lose more weight but I usually use them. Weekends are the WORST! But on the flip side of that, you can work out and gain points. I have been working out and averaging about 35-40 points each week so it all balances out. If I just reduced the eating more I would lose mega pounds. BUT I am really, really happy with the fact I am consistently losing each week. I lost 4lbs the first week and 2 lbs each week thereafter. I am so proud of myself!!! I honestly, attribute my success to Weight Watchers. I love it. I just get it and love the balance. With counting calories, I just never really followed it or would find it easier to cheat. When really, the only person I was cheating was myself. I have just switched my thinking and really feel like WW helped me do that. I am able to have beer, greasy foods, and high caloric things BUT the difference is in order to enjoy those things on the weekends, I work my BUTT off during the week with both working out and avoiding fatty meals. It's all about balance! Here's to more weight loss!!
