Do you know that if you breastfeed you get 10 extra points a day on Weight Watchers? As far as I’m concerned, that’s reason enough to nurse Mia until she starts kindergarten! Okay, that’s kinda much, but damn, I’m totally not looking forward to scaling back 10 points when I’m done nursing. She just … [Read more…]
This past weekend, I ate my way through went to Houston for an early Christmas with my parents. Oh yes, I ate. And ate, and ate. I’m actually a little ashamed of myself right now. Okay, ALOT ashamed of myself. I’m afraid to even go within 10 feet of my scale because it might start yelling at me! You … [Read more…]
Oh my goodness! It’s been a crazy week for me. Between working and kids and counting points, I’ve been one busy mama. I will say that, so far, it’s been a good week. I feel great about my weight loss journey so far. I’ve fallen back into Weight Watchers online easily and it is like riding a bike. … [Read more…]
So I added a What’s Christy Eating tab to the top of my section of the blog. Go here to check it out! I’ll try to list everything I eat, everyday, with points values! So I had to tell you about my dinner. I was so excited that I could eat so much for so few points. Barilla Pasta has a Tortelloni … [Read more…]
I stepped on the scale this morning and was pleasantly surprised with the number that stared back at me. 155.2! I did not gain a single ounce over the holidays. Can I just tell you that’s NEVER happened. Except maybe when I was 7, or something like that. One-fifty-five-point-two. Goodbye forever. My … [Read more…]

So did you weigh-in this morning? If so, make sure to document your weight so you’ll know what your … [Read more…]
The holidays have kicked my butt. Having friends over and cooking and cleaning (non-stop) and running errands have taken their toll on me. And my butt. I’m so ready for the challenge, which starts tomorrow! So ready. I’m ready to take control of what goes into my mouth and I’m ready for some … [Read more…]
On Monday, I weighed 157. Today I weighed 155.8! YES! It’s a step in the right direction. Of course tomorrow is Turkey day and I’m a little concerned, but you know what? This loss is EXACTLY what I needed. Isn’t it funny how a loss can really put you in the right frame of mind? It makes you want to … [Read more…]
I just got back from BJ’s school where they had a Thanksgiving day feast. Oh, it was a feast all right. A veritable feast of calories, and fat, and sugar, and nothing that even resembled healthy. Oy. So I took my own advice and had a small serving of only the dishes I really wanted. All 10 of them. … [Read more…]
I just logged into Weight Watchers online for the first time since October 9, 2008. Sheesh. Talk about embarrassing. It’s a good thing Weight Watchers can’t nudge me like people on Twitter. But then again, maybe they should nudge me. Every.single.hour. I logged my points for today (so far). 1/2 … [Read more…]
Hi, I’m Christy, and I’m no stranger to this whole weight loss thing. As an adult, I’ve always struggled with my weight.
