RAFL wk 7 - Prairie Roots - 1 yr on WW

Happy anniversary PR, and a huge congrats on shedding 71 pounds during this time.
WOW, that is absolutely fantastic. It sure sounds like you have taken this weeks
gain into perspective and not let it get the best of you. As that old saying
goes, you've come a long way baby!!! Congrats again.

If you just look at the stats for this week, you'd think I had a
terrible week. But actually, my weight this week is exactly where it
should be. Sure it's up but last week's 4.8 lb loss was the real fluke
when I had a terrible cold and hardly ate anything. This week, I'm
almost back to my normal self--at least I'm eating normally. I've
still got some lung congestion, so returning to returning to an
exercise regimen is going a bit slower. I'm down 2.6 lbs from where I
was 2 weeks ago before my cold.

Tomorrow is my 1-year anniversary of being on WW. Not only have I lost
71 lbs at an avg of 1.37 lbs per week, I've also lost 66 inches
overall. Here's an indication of some of the changes: I've lost 2-1/4"
from my neck; 10 inches from my bust; 10-1/2" from my waist; 8" from
my hips; 4" from each thigh. A year ago I was wearing size 22 or 2XL
tops and size 20 or 1XL pants. This year I'm wearing size 14 or L tops
and size 10 or M pants. Needless to say, I am deeply satisfied with my
results to date.

WW works if you work it!

What a difference a year makes! You have every right to be proud, this is
truly a wonderful accomplishment!

Hitting the 70-lb mark was a big milestone for me. As someone who
could never stick with a weight loss plan for more than 50 lbs or 6
mox previously, I'm surprising the heck out of myself. LOL

Thanks Lesanne. I'm learning so much from you and other lifetimers
about what it takes to do this and that I shouldn't sweat the
fluctuations. The most important thing is to stick with it. Period.

Thanks Betty. The secret to my progress to date is that I haven't
given up. Even when it's been hard. Even when I've blown it. I still
have a ways to go, but as long as I keep at it--even if it takes me
another year to lose the next 30 lbs, I'll get there.
