Week 16 - Down 16 lbs! A pound a week…

Well, my weigh-in last week was much better than I had expected! I was down 1.4 lbs for a total of 16 lbs. down. I hit my 15 lbs. goal! Now just a handful more to lose to reach my WW’s 10% goal - gotta get down a little over 18 lbs. for that.

With another milestone hit my WW’s daily points continues to shrink - I am now down to 22 points a day - and it really sucks. I am struggling with the points being taken away. It feels like I just adjusted to 23 points and now I gotta eat even less! Argh! One point a day doesn’t seem like much but I depend on that bank of 35 “any day” points. When you take a point a day away from me, I essentially cut into my weekly bank by 7 points and that sucks.

Oh well, maybe I need to actually start exercising? I mean, I lost the first 16 lbs. with no exercise per se. The 2nd part of this will require a little more effort and by adding exercise I can add in a few extra points back in…

Other thoughts -
> 16 weeks, 16 lbs… a nice steady average pound/week.
> My “tight” jeans are now loose. I also bought a size 12 instead of size 14 in pants and they fit comfortably.
> Friends are noticing the loss and commenting positively.
