My Weight Loss is like a Third Order Polynomial

Well, I've come to the end of my 3rd WW food journal. I can say, it's been a very interesting 36 weeks or so.....

But instead of buying another book to track things in, my husband created a form for me on the computer to track things on. I've printed it out so I can keep in down stairs by the fridge. He also created a chart of my weight loss and made it all fancy-schmancy with graphics and whatnot. He said my weight loss resembled a thrid order polynomial, whatever that is -- doesn't he remember that I failed all math in high school and that the last math class I took was in 1993 at junior college, and even then I took just enough math to graduate? Ya, there is a reason I was a history teacher, not a math teacher, but I digres.

I've made a new goal for myself -- I want to loose 5% of my current body weight, which is 9 pounds, by Christmas. After Christmas, I think I will re-evaluate where I'm at and decide if I want to continue on with WW.

At anyrate, I think the new habits that I've made while on WW will stick with me. I didn't track my food at all last week and I managed to come out ok. I also found myself stopping eating when I felt full, taking right portion sizes at meals and reaching for healthy snacks when I needed a snack.

I think all is well in weight loss land. If I can make it thru October with out overdosing on Three Muskateers Mint Minis then I should be ok.
