Thank You!

I can't believe I am blogging on a Tuesday! I have so much work to do, but I'm taking a little break to say Thank You to all of my Blogging Buddies! You have all been so encouraging and left the sweetest comments on my diet. Thank you! It has helped me more than you know!!! Now, I'm going to go back to work. Oh, and I am so excited about the Blogger Blast!!!!

Week 9 Results

So...am I only blogging about my weight loss now...or should I say gain this week? Yep, that's right, I gained 6 ounces! I handled it like a big girl and I did not get upset. I did really good last week thanks to stress, so I was looking for a gain this week. I'm pretty pleased that it was only 6 ounces. Today is a new day and I am NOT giving up!!!! Congratulations to everyone on your weight loss this week! Just think how much smaller we are all going to be next year! Yay Us! LOL

Not much has been going on my way. We've been really busy at work! UGH! The kids are doing great! The hubby is doing great! LOL My Dad had some bloodwork drawn and it looked really good. He had lost a little weight and his blood pressure had gone down. My Mama has been on a low carb diet and lost over 20 lbs and I am so jealous! LOL But, so proud of her! My brother is starting a new job Monday! He will be the new Manager at Sherwin Williams in Roanoke Rapids, so send him some business and tell him you blog with his sister! He would love it! He worked at Sherwin Williams a little over a year ago as the Assistant Manager and changed jobs for his family. He has missed Sherwin Williams ever since he left. Well, the Manager position became available and they actually called him and asked him to apply for it! Wow! He got the job and he starts Monday! I am so proud of him! I have the best brother in the world. We have always been really close, but have recently had the opportunity to spend more time together and it's been great! I have missed my crazy brother! Those of you that know him, know he is a mess!

Hope you all have a great weekend! Good luck to all of you on your diets this week! I am so proud of all your success!!

Week 8 Results

So..am I only blogging on Fridays now or what? Well...I am very excited to post that I lost 3.8 lbs. this week, which comes to a total of 14.8 lbs!!! (I'm just going to post my WW weight, the other was getting too confusing.) I blew it Saturday night. I won't even go into details how I blew it. I've had a VERY stressful week, and was able to lose some weight. Stress is not how I want to lose weight, but I'll take it! Hopefully, the loss will give me a little extra encouragment to keep on losing. I am glad that I didn't turn to food to help relieve my stress like I usually do. I hope that is a good sign. I'm very proud of Cathy and Sue for their weight losses this week! We'll get Rhonda back on track on Monday. We'll let you slide since you were on a cruise and all! LOL Good luck this week girls! We are doing it!

Week 7 Results

I can not believe that I have actually been on a diet for 7 weeks! WOW! I think the longest I have ever stuck out a diet is a month! The weight loss is coming off slowly, but it is coming off! Last night at Weight Watchers, I had lost 1.8 lbs! I was really excited because I had met my goal for the week. By losing 1.8 lbs, I reached my additional 5 lbs and lost 5% of my body weight. So, I have lost a total of 11 lbs at Weight Watchers and 12 lbs total! Congratulations to Cathy, Rhonda and Sue on your weight loss this week! You are all doing great!

We are still so busy at work! I have missed blogging! I have been trying to catch up on reading and commenting a little. I finally ordered the part for our computer at home. So, once that is fixed, I should be catching up on some blogs. I hope you all are doing well and have a great weekend!

Week 6 Results

This is week 6 of my diet, but my 3rd weigh in with Weight Watchers. If I'm confusing you, don't feel bad, I'm confusing myself. LOL So...my loss for last night was 4 ounces! UGH! I really blowed my diet Saturday night. We had a cook out and I admit that I ate way too much! The next morning I had gained about 2 1/2 lbs from that one meal!!! So, I had to work really hard to get that back off plus lose an additional 4 ounces. I am proud of myself for not giving up. Usually, I would have took the gain and quit the diet, but not this time. I'm determined! It may take awhile, and I might have good weeks and bad weeks, but I'm not ready to give up. I keep telling myself....if I stick with this and lose it slowly, then a year from now I can look back and say look how much I have lost, instead of saying I need to go on a diet. Think how quickly a year goes by! If I lose a pound a week, that's 52 lbs.! That's amazing! Good luck to all of you on your diet this week! Thank you all for your support and encouragment. Knowing that I have to go to Weight Watchers and weigh on Thursday and blog about it on Friday has really helped keep me on track.

Feeling a little lighter...excuse the hair!

My "old" side profile.

My front profile...still needs lots of work...but I'm on my way!

Say Goodbye to the Old Kelly!

Drumroll please......LOL....I lost 2.6 lbs. at Weight Watchers last night, which comes to 8.8 lbs at my 2nd weigh in at WW. My total weight loss at home is 10.4 lbs!!!! With a little hesitation, I'm attaching my photos. Hope you can see a little difference. I have a lot to lose, but I'm on my way! I'm so proud of Rhonda and Cathy's accomplishments this week also. Thank you both so much for being my support system and helping me through this journey. I couldn't have done it without you! Good luck this week!

Just to say hey!

Hey Everyone! We have been soooo busy at work! I have missed blogging...reading blogs, commenting...and the good 'ol days when it was slow around here. The diet is still going good. I have noticed that I can button my jeans without trying to stretch them out first. LOL I have made it over a week without any soft drinks, regular or diet. I have only been drinking water and sometimes orange juice for breakfast. Anyone that knows me, knows this is a BIG accomplishment for me! I'll give up food for a Coca-Cola anyday! I still have cravings, but I resist. Hope you all are doing well and have a great week!
