Weight Loss Progress

[thescarletwoman]

Work is absolutely insane, but I'm loving every minute. Producers is going to be a blast, not only to play but to work on the show in the shop. Saying it right now -- if any of you lot are going to be in the Erie area in September, you totally have to come see it. Cleveland gang -- you're coming and there's no choice in the matter.

As for weight loss -- I started Weight Watchers on May 1st -- and while I'm not ALWAYS the best at tracking what I eat during the day, I hit my first major milestone: I've lost twenty pounds to date. I'm extremely, extremely proud of myself. And knowing this was a lot of the weight put on when I took both vioxx and topomax for my migraines I'm absolutely stoked.

Still have a long ways to go -- but it's a start!

Hope everyone is having a brilliant week so far. ♥


Also -- totally random side note: four years later and I STILL want to jump Michael Phelps. Yes, lisabel, I found that icon you made for me. *coff*

Oh, seriously - congratulations on that! Well done! That's not just a start, that's an amazing start :) Here's to you hitting all your milestones!

(and, I don't discriminate really. Michael Phelps...any of those swimmers/divers with the beautiful bodies...I'd jump quite a few of them)

Congrats on the 20 pounds!!! Whenever I hit a milestone, the next time I was in a supermarket I would grab that amount of weight in 5lb bags of sugar and walk with it. It really hits you how much you've lost!

Well done! That's my goal as well, hope I can do as well as you. :)

Congrats, but that brought up the question (to which I totally should know the answer): what are you currently doing for your migraines?

Medicinal weight gain is a bitch. (She says, having gained 10 lbs on the Pill. Yes, I know I should shut up, but I've read stories about people gaining like 30 lbs on anti-depressants, or all sorts of other random weight from drugs that AREN'T EVEN STEROIDS.)

Way to go! I've got a couple of friends on Weight Watchers and they are all very happy with the results. My mother, who is a nutrition counselor and personal trainer for retirees in Florida, was impressed with how good WW is now (compared to when she tried it in the 1970s and they really knew almost nothing about nutrition it seems...)

Speaking of which, if you haven't seen these, they are hilarious. I love her commentary:

(it's a collection of WW recipe cards from the 1970s she found in the attic. A sample comment: "I showed this card to a friend who said, 'What the hell's in that bowl-- bong water?!' Is that why the ceramic animals are so drawn to it? Is it their magical pond?")
