Today at weigh-in I found out I'd lost another 1.2 lbs. I have almost recooped the 3+ lbs that I gained a few weeks back. It boosted my confidence to see a loss over 1 lb. Kinda made me want to keep going.

At the meeting, we talked about setting goals for September and writing down things we will do to try to reach our goals. I have decided to set a goal to lose 8 lbs in the month of September. That will be 2 lbs/week basically. I know that I need to step it up a gear and setting a goal like this might just help. I think I will do several things to reach this goal:
  1. Reduce the number of 100 calorie packs, manufactured foods I eat. Eat more naturally occuring foods such as fruits, veggies.
  2. TRACK my points. Stay within the recommended ranges (i.e., actually FOLLOW the WW plan!)
  3. Reduce the number of times I eat out in a week.
  4. Reduce the number of desserts and snacks I eat.
  5. Only eat when I need nourishment, not because I'm bored, happy, sad, etc.
  6. If making something at home, change the recipes to be healthier.
  7. Remember that although I look a lot better now, I still want to lose almost 20 lbs!!!
