Dude, nothing says resurrection of the dead like Honeybaked Ham. Unless it's Marie Callendar's Coconut Cream Pie. (Dude, when did they start making a frozen version? When I was pregnant, this was all I craved and since there wasn't a Marie Callendar's until Oklahoma, I just cried. Poor Andiclaus.)
Anyway, I gained a pound over the first week of Easter, because you cannot throw perfectly good pie away. Psh.
We have made a triumphant return, though, and have been counting those damn points like it's going out of style.
Last week's weight: 190
Current weight: 186
Pounds to goal weight: 46
We've found that beans and rice make a very filling and delicious (and cheap) starting point for a meal. (By we, I mean Andiclaus and I. Don't even get me started on his weight loss. I'm sure he's lost, like, 100 pounds by now because that's just how we do here.)
I've dropped almost two pants sizes this week. This is exciting and also a little distressing. I will be running out of clothes soon and I really don't feel like buying a bunch of in-between clothes. I'm sure I'll figure it out as I go.
Sarah's doing really well with WW, too, and we're thinking about setting up a little side blog action to get a bit more nitty-gritty with the dieting talk.
And, OMG, did you see that Frema is pregnant? Yes? Okay, good. My blog policy is such that even though I've known for days about this wonderful news, I have yet to shoot her a comment or an email. That's just the kind of blog friend I am. Frema, consider this my congratulations!
Congratulations duly noted. Thanks, Beth! And congrats to YOU on the weight loss! That's awesome.

I am seriously considering WW ... my husband wants me to wait till we move (what having a newborn, a toddler and preparing to move is enough ... dieting would put me over the edge?!?!?!?) Sending postive will power and weight loss vibes!

Sounds like you are doing a great job.........even with the pie.

Way to go!! Great start. Oh I so need to start counting those dang points again but I seriously need a kick in the a** ;-) Good for you and Andiclaus joining yay him!

Oh hurrah!! Hurrah hurrah hurrah!!!! I'm so excited for you, and will lose poundage vicariously through you because I'm still stuck on this ever loving diet plateau. You know, the one where you work your butt off, and eat right, but somehow gain a pound (because muscle weighs more than fat and all that bs) and then get stuck at the new one pound higher number on the scale for the rest of eternity and begin to wonder why you stopped eating ice cream and pasta if all that did was gain you an extra pound.
Maybe I should check out weight watchers?

AWESOME JOB! Congratulations! I am totally going to have to start counting those points consistently.
Get a couple pair of pants that are a neutral color that you can wear for a while (Costco is perfect for this, because they have cute pants for like $15. Shee-yeah.)
Keep it up!
