Monday's weight was between 134.4 and 135.5
nearly 2 lb. loss
I have since gained between 1 & 3 lbs which I'm fighting to get off so that I can be less than 135.5 come Monday.
That will be a struggle with the office Holiday party coming up. Brazilian Buffet at the Four Seasons Resort and alcohol, etc - you know what that means! POINTS POINTS POINTS! TRIPPLES DIGIT POINTS! ha ha ha ha.

Weigh-In #5
I wish I were hear to report my weight as of Saturday morning, which was 135 even. The consistent "jump" that visits each week threw me to 139 and then I had to work super hard to get back down as usual. At least this time it worked!!!!
I'm down nearly 2lbs this weigh-in: 137
I've been told it's not likely my Mirena but I haven't been to an OBGYN about that yet. All I learned with bloodwork was that my vitamin D levels are low so I'll be getting supplements for that. It was also suggested that I check into my addrenal glands. Someone's thyroid my be doing it's job, but there is communication between thyroid and your addrenal glands and this can cause the same symptoms as hypothryoidism (underactive thyroid). Just another option of what to look into when I get the "everything looks normal....EXCEPT YOUR WEIGHT GAIN...comment from doctors! LOL!

Post Tofurky Day Weigh-In #4!!
I titled this post this way because when I did WW many years back I had the same post title!
Another gain! I can definitely attribute some of my gain to about 3 of my 7 days. I figured I was going to gain my 5lbs regardless of all the hard work and constant tracking so I just made sure to enjoy the holiday despite it all!
Weigh In: 138.6!!!!! Yikes!
At least it's not 142 anymore. Still not giving up!
And I should have results in from my blood work very soon. I imagine they will tell me nothing because I have no other symptoms to really blame this on hypothyroidism. It's still good to check so I did, but I fear I will not get any answers at all. That will leave me baffled and I don't know what I can do to fight this. I'm not the type to starve myself to be thin. Not when all my efforts go into EATING - Healthy! :)
This worked for me before and the fact that it's not working now to beat whatever else is going on makes me wonder if I will really have any luck getting it off.
You'll hear back from me next week! Wish me luck!

Weigh-In # 3
136.4
Battling the typical despite staying within my points allowance. :( I technically lose an average of 2lbs every week, but then one day during that week I continue to see that jump with no obvious cause.
Go figure! I'm doing all that I can! I think I can turn the 3-5lb gain into only 1-2 lbs if only I could find time to exercise. What mom who gets home at 6:30 with 2 kids has any time to do that, though?
I'm sure there are some supermoms out there who could tell me otherwise.....
Definitely not giving up!

Weigh-In # 1
UPDATE: Official Weigh-In for 11/5/12 was 135.2
As evident over the last 14 months, I am extremely busy and it has been a real challenge to make time for posts. It's not that I've lost interest, but I suppose I can say that I've lost touch. There are few friends I still keep in touch with from Houston, and the distance that has been put between me and many of them has doubled it seems. But I don't guess I'm missing out too much since it happened so naturally. The ones that really count are still there...and you know who you are!!!
All that nonsense above was really supposed to be an explanation of why I'm late doing my weigh-in. I started WW on a Friday but I set my weigh in days on Monday because I did it last time and it made the most sense.
That first week was pretty good. I think I lost about 2 pounds, but guess what happened next????? I gained about 7!!! You read that right. I can say that about 3 lbs of it was water weight but that means that mystery where I put on weight in like 3-4 lbs without changing a single thing is still occuring. Only this time I did change something.....my diet! I'm a gal who already eats pretty healthy, have been a vegetarian for almost 20 years, and enjoys snacking on raw Brussels sprouts. Me going on a diet speaks volumes about how contentious I am about what I put into my body. I've tracked my points, I haven't cheated a bit and I take track honestly and consistently throughout the day. And it's working and I feel a difference but then that strange gain occurs again! I've been to one of my doctors recently who was also concerned. And he wasn't upset with me for the fact that I stopped taking all of my medications all at once so that could also rule that out. He agreed that it's not a normal gain...not one we can attribute to stress, metabolism, and especially not diet. I've been given paperwork to take to a lab for bloodwork to rule out hypothyroidism, etc. I'll let you know those findings, if any, when I get the time off work to get that blood drawn. (downside to no longer working for a hospital, eh??)
So, for those of you skimming, I started weight watchers at about 137/138 lbs. I got down to 134.4 after 5 days, and then it shot all the way up to like 142!!!! My official weigh in last Monday was like 137 again because of all that fluctuation. It was after that that it went up another three pounds as I can almost predict these days! But I've stuck within my points allowance and have brought it back down. I have another official weigh-in tomorrow morning and I'm thinking I'll see about 135.4 on the scale. We will see! At least I know the WW thing still works for me when I need it! If I could just figure out these random gains then all would be well! There is no guarantee that I won't sky rocket up a good 5 lbs after weighting in with a decent 2lb loss for the week.
I'm not going to stress it too much. Right now I just want to fit my suits and business clothes for work and then I'm completely satisfied with losing a pound or so each week until I reach my goal weight.
Wish me luck!
And very importantly, if you didn't get the opportunity to go vote early, please do everything you can to make that happen this Tuesday. We are taking our kids with us again so they can have that experience of voting. I think it's important that they stay involved and aware.
I will try to post my weigh-in in the morning, but there is a chance I'll be a little late again!!
Cheers!!!
