Background:
May 2011: Cousin Kate asked me to be one of her bridesmaids in her November wedding.
Late May 2011: Tried on dress at David's Bridal. It is fitted through the hips...really, Kate? This requires a size larger than the size I had grown to, and was already unhappy with.
June 8, 2011: Peggy joins Weight Watchers Online. Goal: lose 25 pounds.
Since then:
I have weighed in each Wednesday morning, making steady progress. Following the WW plan and being active, thanks to the lovely Seattle summer, playing kickball and softball and walking Boss around Green Lake.
This morning:
The family weighed in.
Peggy: has lost 20 pounds...WOOT!
Boss: has gained 2.5 pounds since his last vet visit in July--he's now 14.5 pounds--WOOT!
Jesse: the bastard has lost 12 pounds unintentionally since June, just by living with me and making healthier choices because I have been. Woot. Boys suck.

It's so unfair. I know. III loses weight just by thinking about it.
Congratulations!
HOLY CRAP. 25 pounds?? that is freaking awesome. for real.
i hate dresses or skirts that are fitted through the hips. i'm pear shaped and fitted dresses are the DEVIL for pear body types.
i've been thinking about doing WW. i did it a couple of years ago and it worked well for me. i'm still hanging on to about 8 pounds of pregnancy weight. i think i gained about 45ish. so, that's not too awful...and i sort of think about 6 of those pounds are in my boobs alone. (it's like two aliens on my chest) but my body is weird now and shaped differently. it's a bitch is what it is. so, yeah...maybe in january i'll join (along with every other woman in america). and in full disclosure i should admit i am eating vanilla wafers OUT OF THE BOX as i type this.
geez, it's like this comment was some sort of confessional for me.
so, i don't own a scale. i have a pair of "skinny jeans." and when i'm really skinny these jeans are loose. and when i' really "fat" they won't come up over my hips. and i'm convinced that my weight has nothing to do with what i eat and everything to do with the seasons, how much stress i'm under, and how busy i am. however, i'm always tempted to do WW. i just honestly don't think i'm honest enough to follow the rules an actually lose weight...
oh, and things that are fitted through the hips suck for us "boyish" shaped girls too. you may not realize but they cut hips into those stupid things, and when you don't have hips, well they just stick out on the side and look super silly.
