End of Week 8 WW progress pics

Well, its been a tough week, but all in all I am happy with where I stand today.  My official Weight Watcher weighin was 213.6 which is down 0.2 pounds from two weeks ago.  This past Monday 5 days ago or whatever I was 214.5 i think on my scale, this am I was 210.8 in boxers and a tshirt, which is 0.3 off the lowest i have been through all of this .  The tracker on the side of my blog will be my Weight Watchers official weighins for as long as I go to the meetings, but the 210.8 is closer to what I really weigh obviously, as we don’t weigh our clothes! lol.  It’s funny because I am in a biggest loser contest at work that runs through July 16th, I have weigh ins on three different scales, weight watchers, home and at work.  But anyway.

 

So below is this weeks progress pic.  I can definately see some great changes from the first pic.  I have lost another full inch off my waist and I am down under 42 now.  This is the smallest my waist has been in 7 or 8 years, and although the weight is coming off at a slow steady pace that bugs me at times, I am over the moon happy with the waist coming down.  Long ways to go to where I wanna be, but all in all I am happy with my progress.

 

 

Off to enjoy the nice day, I will be back later this weekend.

End of Week 6 Weight Watchers review

So I am just finishing up my best week yet in terms of effort and healthy decisions.  I walked a tonne, I moved up to the second level of my BeachBody Power 90 workouts, and I am staying on track with Weight Watchers (albeit still struggling to hit my points with healthy foods).  The past 6 weeks overall is probably the best stretch of eating I have ever had…..EVER.

So here are some numbers for the last 6 weeks.

weight start:   229       weight now:  213.8      (the WW scale)

waist start  48.5 inches    waist now  42 6/8 

total inches lost 12

body fat percentage start 31 %    bf now 28%  (still high but its coming)

down 2 pant sizes 42 to 38

need to punch a hole in my belt cause its too big

 

On my scale, in just boxers yesterday I was 210.9.  I haven’t been at this point in 3 years.  Things are really looking good so far, and I am excited to keep going over the next few weeks and months to ingrain these healthy decisions into my life, and make this time For Life and not just another “Resolution”. 

Have a good weekend all !

First Weeks results are in!

This will be a short update with more to come later. I attended my second weight watchers meeting this morning and was happy to see two other men at the meeting, I didn’t feel so…..like the only man in the room….lol.

The results are good:

weight: down 6 pounds
waist: down 2.5 inches! WOOOOOO…..

Am over the top happy about the waist measurement. I had the waist measurement of a 300 pound man when this started. Oh as an aside, I took full starting measurements and “before” pics when this started. I took pics this am before the waist measurement and if I get brave I may post a once a week picture in my blog to add yet another layer of accountability. I know now that my blog is out there for the world to see, friends, family, casual “facebook friends” and all those that are on that list! Knowing that I have to post those pics once a week, will give me incentive to keep it up.

I will post a more in depth review of week 1 later today, with what I did well, where I need to improve and my mini goals for week 2.

quick

Just a quick update this morning, as I just finished exercising and I am heading out the door to walk my 4km to work.

You read everywhere not to weigh everyday, not to worry about the number on the scale etc. But for me personally, it keeps me honest. I like to weigh myself everyday just to see where I am. I don’t get overly bent out of shape if the numbers are going in one direction or the other, but for me it keeps be on track. Since before I was sick with the migraines last week I have only weighed twice, and I have to admit I have been a little lax on the eating. Not knowing where I am and thinking to myself, “am not weighing for a few more days” I have made decisions I shouldn’t have by eating bigger portions, or just plain things I shouldn’t have. So starting today I am back to the daily weighins. I started this morning at 222.1, up a little from where I was.

Anyway, I have more to say but i got to get moving if I am going to be ontime. I’ll try and drop in later.
