After all the eating hospital food and fast food, after all the stress eating, after the lack of exercise for over two weeks…I just knew my weight had to really be up. I wasn’t really worried about it, because taking care of hubby was first. I knew I could get back to taking care of me later. However…drum roll, please…I only gained 1/2 lb. Only ONE HALF. I am very, very pleased. I should have gained more. I even had four slices of pizza last night. But I’ll take that number, and I’ll work to get back on track and start losing again.
Stats for this week:
Beginning weight: 193
Today’s weight: 172
This week’s gain: .5 lbs.
Total loss: 21 lbs.
And now for the interview. I’m being interviewed today by the lovely Jamallah Bergman, author of several romances, including her latest one, The Admission. Jamallah is a wonderful lady with a great sense of humor, and I was so pleased that she agreed to interview me. So without further ado, here is the link to the interview.

Great job staying on track Lauralynn! That’s is great with what you’ve been dealing with! You’ve done a great job and it sounds like you’ve changed your habits enough to maintain.
Do you feel like the new WW PointPlus points system makes it easier to really change your habits? I remember reading something about that being the reason for changing the system and taking it with a grain of salt at the time. Now, after having used both systems, I definitely feel better equipped to maintain now that I’ve reached my goal. I mean, I don’t know if I would have gained if I hadn’t had two babies after the first time, but my habits are just totally different now. I used to rely heavily on 100 cal packs and diet drinks and I’m much more focused on eating fruits and vegetables as snacks now.
Thanks, Erika!
Honestly, I haven’t seen the new program. I used to work for WW but I don’t follow the plan anymore. My weight loss is mostly due to decreased portions.
Excellent on the very minor weight gain. In your position, I would have put my weight loss goals on hold, too. There’s only so much you can handle at once. Thankfully, you don’t have to deal with any guilt or losing anything but that 1/2 pound. 😀 I hope your husband is doing better. I’m reading these posts out of order so I’ll find out what happened soon.
Thanks, Ruth. Weight loss is the last thing I was worried about. But it’s good that I didn’t have to re-lose a bunch of weight. Hubby is much better!
