I won't be going for an official weigh-in today as we're having a "Team Christmas Lunch." (I've looked at the menu for the place we're going and the Monte Cristo is calling my name.) However, I did do a weigh-in, at home, this morning and I was pleased with the results. I always weigh myself naked at home on weigh-in days just so I know what to expect. With clothes, I'm usually about 2 pounds heavier at my official noon weigh-in. So I'm estimating that I've lost .6 pounds this week.
I have to say that I am excited about that! I had two Christmas parties this week and I definitely dipped into my exercise points to cover the Dunkin Donuts I had at my second job last night. I am not ashamed that I indulged in the donuts as I was able to fully resist the Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake at my office party earlier that day.
So this puts me at 3 pounds down since I started the new Daily Points with Weight Watchers. If I can stick within my point limits through the holidays, I am confident that I could see another loss at the scale next week. This definitely makes me feel that I can reach my lifetime goal by my birthday in 68 days, or at least get really, really close to it.
It's the prospect of maintenance that scares me. Can I really maintain my weight, within 2 pounds, for six weeks once I switch to the maintenance phase and have more daily points? And what about after that? I do like that lifetime membership now comes with free e-tools. I don't know how I would be able to maintain my weight loss without it and I didn't relish the idea of paying the $12.95 a month to keep it up.
