And no, that’s not a misspelling…it’s a little play on words…because I’m so clever (gag).
OK…the long short of it. I’ve gained weight. Last year at this time…size 6, thankyouverymuch. This year…at this time…elastic waist bands because I’m too scared to try anything on. Yep…I’m so proud.
Well…I DID quit smoking. And…I did start dancing (think muscle tone, people). So…maybe that accounts for some of it. And…don’t forget my addiction to Wii fit (because, it seems I did)…but I still have some stomach muscles to prove that I did the hula hooping. Oh yeah…and don’t forget the couple of yoga poses that I learned for it, too!!
BUT SERIOUSLY…
I’m 20 pounds heavier than I was back in March 2007.
20 flipping pounds!!
So, I declared a state of emergency…
and I joined Weight Watchers this morning. With…an unnamed cousin who I love and adore and am so excited that we are sinking in the same boat are doing this together!! Because nothing spells losing weight quickly than some fierce competition.
I bought the 12 week plan. Perhaps I’ll actually do it this time…because I sunk some serious dough into it…or not. No…I WILL…lose weight. Because, quite frankly…
I refuse to buy new clothes…especially with elastic waistbands…
so, I need to lose weight by the fall because I don’t fit into any of my fall clothes, either…
and If I don’t lose the weight…I’ll either have to wear tank tops and skirts (with elastic waist bands)…or I’ll have to go NAKED…
And trust me…no one wants to see me naked…
but, it might actually help Michigans overweight problem if I’m walking around streaking…because, it’s an appetite suppressant…
OK…
Off to shop for my flex plan foods…
Wish me luck…unless you are overweight and live in Michigan…
And don’t forget…come up with a winning name for my crochet business and win a rocking awesome purse…that I made…with my sticky, slimy fingers…
Is the flex points the one with points?
Need help?? Call me! I support you 100%
Good luck! 🙂
I LOVE WEight WAtchers! If I had the cash I’d be on it now. I need the “threat” of meetings to keep me motivated! Good luck!! I might be joining you soon…
Good luck!! *hugs*
Good luck! I’ve got something that will distract you from matters at hand, if you’d like. BTW, come join the fun for the Silly Summer Sunday Sweepstakes. Come share the Caption Love with us–we’ve got a good one this week!
Good luck sista friend… you can do this!
(I have a little something for you over at my place.)
Good luck – I am struggling with my wt as well – and am even struggling with what to do…looking forward to hearing how WW goes for you.
BEST OF LUCK!
Man. I’ve been fighting this battle all summer. Every time I get ahead a little bit something happens and I fall back. I’ve been running about 20 miles a week and doing great, and then I spain my ankle. I’ve been watching what I eat and then I get a string of migranes that make me stuff my face. It is always something! So frustrating!!!
Good luck to you! I’ll need some luck too! 🙂
How about Bitchin’ Bags? 😉 hehehe
Good luck. I finally have gotten to an okay weight and kept it off. I hope it continues. I hope you find yourself in the same predicament very soon. I don’t want you running around naked or having to wear elastic waistbands!
Good luck Melissa!
This is kinda funny because I don’t work out for bikini season. I work out for jeans season. I have way too much money invested in denim for them not to fit. That being said, I guess it’s about time to get my ass on the elliptical!
I’m on the “mysterious undiagnosable stomach ailment” diet. I don’t recommend it because it involves severe pain which last for several hours (like 18). But it sure does keep you from eating too much.
Good luck. You don’t want to run around naked much longer. It’s cold in Michigan.
Good luck. I know you’ll do it. And, I was a 6 last year, too…and not this year. Sigh.
I’ll trade your 20 for my 70.
