The Twenty-fourth Week………
~ It Started Out Fine, But Then I Went to a Conference ~
I’ve just finished my twenty-fourth week on the program, and I started out great this week with Nutrisystem, but then it ended poorly. I did a great job at the beginning with eating my Nutrisystem meals, no bad snacking, I got to the gym once, I drank water, and I was down one and a half pounds by Thursday. Yes, that was all great. Then on Friday I left for a blogging conference in Boston for the weekend. The Springboard Conference was fabulous, but I didn’t have any non-frozen foods left to pack with me so I ate what was there. It’s so hard eating out, and I know I could have done better as well (like only eat half my food). Well, by the end of the weekend I ended up gaining back the one and a half pounds I had worked so hard to take off earlier in the week. How can you gain it back so quickly? It stinks! I guess it’s a good thing that I did well at the beginning of the week though, because otherwise I would have surely gained weight instead of maintaining this week. I am back to my goals for this week (because I know these work):
1. Back into the gym! (realistic goal=2 or 3 times)
2. Make sure I don’t snack too often (drink a shake to hold me over instead or make healthier snacking choices)
3. Record what I am eating (this is HUGE for weight loss success!!)
4. And of course…DRINK MORE WATER!

Total Loss: 11 pounds!!!

You look great lady! Weight loss is a tough thing. I think it’s great that you are taking that step! I started at the exact same weight as you and am slowly shedding those pounds as well. I’ll be back for your next update! 🙂
You are doing so well! I really need to look into Nutrisystem.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. We all have struggles. Just forgive yourself and move on – you are doing great! As a fellow #nsnation blogger {4th week here}, I am rooting for you!

So glad you didn’t gain! That’s always frustrating! I made success in eating better, not as good as I’d like, I had a few emotional eating moments. 🙁 that’s what I’m really trying to cut out.
You look amazing, and YOU are beautiful no matter what you weight. 🙂
Congrats on your success!
My healthy journey is taking a back seat of somebody else’s taxi – I really need to shape up
Wow you look fabulous! Congrats your success!
great job on your 11 pound loos 🙂 that’s fantastic
You look great! You’re glowing (or is that the camera flash?) Keep up the good work! 24 weeks commited and I’m sure you’ve formed some wonderful new habits that will benefit you for all your life 🙂
You are doing great! This week…well I have gaines 7 pounds since I left my job where I walked all day long. An improvement: we are joining the gym this week!!
I wish I could lose 11 lbs!! Good for you!
I did the treadmill yesterday! Woohoo! That’s a big step anytime I carve out the time to do that!
I wanted to try Nutrisystem but I am such a picky eater I don’t think they would have much I would like.
Congrats on your overall weight loss! And I think it is a great thing that you went to the conference and were still able to maintain this week. Keep up the good work!
Congrats on your progress so far! My goal for the week is to walk the dog every day!
Congrats my friend. YOu look awesome!
Blogging related calories aren’t supposed to count!!! Glad you had a great time. Breaking even is better than falling behind, though!

You look great. And good for you for not gaining!!
You look awesome, great picture of everyone. It’s just not fair that us women have to watch every crumb, because yes like you mention it comes back on so quick! men have it easy, they just need to think of loosing and it’s gone…for good…not fair :/
I love it! Great job! Keep up the good work 🙂
Great job maintaining! It’s very hard to keep track on the road. I need to write down my goals like you do. I’m sure that it would help. I’m trying to do better with my snacking. Eating late is night is my weakness!
That looks like so much fun! This week I am sticking with writing down my food in a journal and maintaining my portion control. You look fab!
Great job! Keep it up! 🙂
