I did my weekly weigh in this morning, and I'm down 3 pounds this week. That puts me at 10 lost, total.
WOOT.
Although, weight watchers told me I'm losing weight too quickly, and that I'm putting my body in harm's way with possible IRREVOCABLE DAMAGE. And I was all "WTF, WW. I'm eating all my damned points, every day, even the weekly extra points so maybe it's ALL YOUR FAULT, WW".
The idea of not eating all my points is kind of terrible. Like I'm missing out on potential awesome. The other night I had three points left, and I got way too excited about being able to use those three points to eat a popsicle and a package of fruit snacks.
Also beer. Beer is an excellent use of points.
I was able to zip up my size 12's last night without having to use an elastic hair tie to give myself an extra few inches, so that was pretty fabulous. I'm not a small person. I don't do skinny. If I get down to my tens I'll be good.
Although. You know that stack of jeans we all have in our closets from better days? I pulled those out the other day. I was all excited because I know there are some 10's and 12's in that stack. So I started trying them on, except.
They're all boot cut. FLARE LEG. So, very NOT COOL anymore. Not nice straight-leg. But the big, stupid, flare leg that makes a person look like a Clydesdale horse. I laughed so hard at how ridiculous they were.
My entire stack of hopeful pants is now obsolete.

Good for you! And I totally know what you mean about finally fitting into your goal jeans and them being hideous! I fit into a pair recently that had HORRIBLE whiskering across the hips. But yay for being able to buy new, smaller clothes!
10 pounds in 3 weeks, kick ass girl! That's awesome!
I totally still wear flare-ish jeans. They go well with my hippie look. LOL. Good for you with your loss though! You are awesome!
I don't know how handy you are with a sewing machine, but there are quite a few tutorials about how to change your boot cuts to straight leg or skinny jeans. Depending on the cut, it might work. Although, losing weight is a great excuse to buy some new jeans :)
Yeah WW keeps telling me that too- just ignore it. I just got down to a 12 too! And now all of my "back of the closet" clothes fit me. Feels good doesn't?!
I'm starting the couch to 5K thing soon. I'm scared the second I start running I might just die. Any advice? My left hip has been bothering me too for some time- have you had any issues with your hips in regards to running because I know you have hip issues too? I know you say you're not a "runner" but I rather get advice from someone who recently started running because I think all the people who claim to be runners might have forgot what it's like in the beginning. Man this is gonna suck...bleh.
You're silly. Many fashionable young women in Chicago still wear bootleg jeans. I just bought a pair last week!!
I also saw Guiliana (from the Fashion PoPo) wearing a pair recently. :-)
Yay on the 10 poundage!
Bahahaha, ok flare not so much. The boot cut you can totally get away with, so your stack is not obsolete.
WW has to tell you that, they have to because of liability. They can't know your eating habits and why you are as successful as you are with their program. You are doing what you are supposed to and you rock!!!
Way to go!! I would get those 'you are losing weight too fast' notices on WW too and I was like - whatever, i need to lose weight, WW, so shove it. You are doing awesome. I loved the point system, it really kept me honest. I have thought about going back to WW actually. I am about 8 pounds from my goal weight so I think I could lose them and become a lifetime member... We'll see.
SO excited for you!!!
WW really told you that? That pisses me off almost as much as when I lost my first 5 lbs and they TOOK POINTS AWAY. What kind of reward is that WW?!
I got into my size 12's this weekend too. I still have a stupid muffin top but they buttoned. That's a win in my book.
Yay you!
I did a post dedicated to you on my fashion blog today. :-)
Check it out! xoxo

That's awesome! Way to go! I love it when you have some room left over for beer after the day is done!
But now you get to go shopping:)
You just have to hang onto your obsolete jeans for a few years, and they'll be "in" again.
Congrats though! That's awesome progress!
Flare leg is actually back in so slip those on and rock em.
