11 lbs

11 lbs lost since we started Weight Watchers. :-) Although I have to say that I'm not really understanding the "new" system. I started out with 29 points and now I'm down to 27 per day. When I was on WW before, you lost a point when you got down in a new set of numbers. Like when I went from the 180s to 170s and 170s to 160s and so forth. So I have no idea why I've lost 2 points from 189 to 178. Makes no sense to me. But I suppose since I'm still successful, I won't question it too much. I'm having to pace myself with my "extra" points (you're allotted 49 each week, which used to be 35 I think when I did this before). This week, for example, I have my monthly girls night out on Tuesday. My "extra" points reset every Thursday, so this is kinda tough for me. We're going to Biergarten this month which is right next door to our neighborhood. Love that place! Especially when they have the polka player out on the patio. I already know that I usually order a 2 bratwurst plate with french fries and each brat is worth 8 points (according to my app). I also know that beer is 5 points per 12 ounces. This takes lots of extra planning. So I probably need to stay within my normal points for the next three days so I can splurge on Tuesday. Now if only I can think in these same terms once I get down to my goal weight... They say habits take 6 weeks to form. It's gonna take a lot more than 6 weeks to lose all that weight!
