I have been meaning to write all week long. Seriously, I kept telling myself that I was going to write and talk about my week 4 weigh in. I kept saying that it was going to happen 'today'. Yet each day I would find myself laying in bed at night with no update having been made. So here I find myself ready to report on my week 5 of my current journey with Weight Watchers.
Weight Watchers Weigh in Week 4
My weigh in for week four was not what I wanted to report. I showed a half pound gain. Well technically it was a shade over a half pound. I gained 0.6 pounds. Gained! REALLY? How was that so? I looked at what I had done. I saw one or two things that I could tweak but for the most part I was on target. I vowed that I would NOT give up! I was going to trust the process and keep going. So onward into Week 5 I marched.
Weight Watchers Weigh in Week 5
I was honestly worried about week 5. It started with Easter Sunday. We went to my in-laws for the day. I tried to eat wisely, but admittedly, I ate more than I should have/wanted to. That started my week off rough. Throughout the week I had a few nibbles on homemade peanut butter eggs that my mother in law gave to us. Not perfect, but I felt like I was still in line. Other than that first day of my weight watchers week I was in line with my points (and the corresponding calories, which I can also see on the WW app). I was hopeful, but worried after the gain the week before.
Sadly, I showed a 0.3 pound gain for week 5! ARRRGGGHHHH I'm nearing 1 pound gained as a total over the last two weeks! This is NOT cool!
Not Giving UP
I am NOT giving up. I am determined to keep everything in line and keep tweaking until I figure out what works for me. Weight watchers is recommending over 120g of protein for me. I have long struggled with even getting 60-70g of protein (which is what myfitnesspal usually recommends). So my focus this week is protein, protein, protein.
I can do this!!!!

Please stay the course. I was exactly where you're at. Wondering why I gained when I was doing everything right. But I told myself to stick with it. That the plan works. Well as frustrating as it was, it did start to work. I am losing. You know the plan works but sometimes you have to be patient.
You can do this 💪
Protein is very important. One gram for every lb you want your final weight to be is what I follow. Looking forward to your update when you are able.
Women naturally become more insulin resistant as we go into menopause. Its so hard to combat. Insulin is our fat storage hormone, so we naturally hold onto fat more as we age. Every pound will be harder, but that just means every loss is that much bigger of a victory! Keep pushing, you are doing great things for your health even if the scale is being fickle!
I stayed the course & this week the scale was down 1 pound.
