Whew, I am slowly catching up! I am still working out with the weights but until this week I was only loosely following Weight Watchers. While I haven't lost any weight I haven't gained any either - good thing - and the weight training is awesome! I love it! When I started I only put 2.5 measly pounds on each side of my barbell and now I start off with 15 on each side and then add a bit more for different exercises. Not too bad.
The down side is that since I have not been eating as healthy as I could have been I am not really seeing my progress as I should be. I can feel it, I am stronger and my arms and legs are feeling tighter but my clothes are not fitting any different yet and that is frustrating! SO, beginning this Saturday I decided to actually eat right- I know, genius idea.
This week I have been cooking healthy meals and will continue my workouts. I have learned a lot of things that do work for me and then some that don't.
I signed up for the next fitness challenge and I am confident that I will see some great results by the end of that!
Ok, that is it for now!

Strength training alone may not help you lose weight as fast as cardio exercises. Maybe you could add in a quick walk every now and again, or some dancing?
