Can you tell

s some of you have seen and may follow I have a weight tracker on my side bar.  To recap I joined WeightWatchers the last Wednesday of September 08 and weighed in at 166.6 lbs.  The last weigh in I had a WW was the last Wednesday in February 09 and I was 148.2 lbs.  So in 155 days I lost 18.4 lbs!!!!  Not bad.  In that 155 days I celebrated Thanks Giving, Christmas and a 2 week trip to California.  In that 155 days I gained back, here and there, a total of 3.4 lbs  so really I lost 21.8 lbs as I lost the 3.4 twice.  Right!?  Does that make sense?  

Anyway I lost it all by just following the flex points system and didn't get into the activity part of the program really.  Which reiterates what one fitness instructor told me 3 years ago "weight loss is 80% diet (food intake) and 20% activity."  

So now that I have control on my eating habits I now need to master some activity in my life as I know how important it is for overall health not to mention for your heart, lungs, energy levels and just plain life!   

You may say to your self "Tina's weight tracker says she ended with 143 lbs not the 148.2 lbs she has written in here?  What of that?"  So here it is.... 












 in February I found out I am pregnant!  Yes prego!  and WW doesn't endorse weight loss during pregnancy so they kicked me out!  Jokes,  but really, told me to come back when the baby is born, which will be the first week in October or so.  So at my last DRs appointment (May 15th) I weighed in at 143 lbs.  I realize the weigh scale is a bit different than those at WW but I really do loose weight in the 1st trimester so I'm sure it's pretty accurate as with all my pregnancies I've lost between 18 to 20 lbs in the first 14-16 weeks.  

So here are some pictures of me from July 2008 and April 2009.  Can you see a difference?  As I said before there is a 18.4 lb difference but can you even see it.  True I am 3 months prego in the April pics but is there a difference?  Let me know what you think.

Yes you can tell.... you look so good! I'm jealous because I started reading your blog around the time you started Weight Watchers (something I've always wanted to do). At the time I was also trying to lose some weight and we actually started out around the same weight so I was really interested to see how much you were losing with WW. We stayed pretty much the same until Jan when I totally stopped losing weight at 150 lbs. I was totally wishing I had just joined WW as I watched your weight tracker drop.I went from a size 14+ to a size 10 though so I guess I can live with that.

I think you look so good... you can really see it in your face. Congrats on the pregnancy. I hope it all goes great for you!

Thanks for the inspiration too!
