Happy Saturday!

I got up this morning EARLY and went to Weight Watchers! YAY ME! I am so proud...I have been trying to make myself do it for weeks. When I was a member before, I weighed in wearing the lightest clothes I could find, took off my jewelry and shoes to weigh and did everything possible to make it seem lighter. This morning, though, I weighed in in jeans and tennis shoes, so that I can wear my normal clothes each week I go. I was shocked at my weight this morning...it was BY FAR the most I have ever weighed, and I am telling myself that all scales are different, and I was wearing more clothes than I usually do...but in reality it doesn't really matter what the starting weight was. It is the last time I will be that weight, and it will show my losses just as well as one that weighed me 20 pounds lighter. So it's all good!

I was really impressed with the WW leader. I had one for years that I really liked, but she was fired a few years ago. I didn't think I would find another one that I liked, but this lady actually seemed more knowledgable, having lost 100 pounds in 2007. The people were super nice and I wasn't shy around them at all...usually I am a shy person in a group setting like that when I know very few people.

I need to go find a ticker to use for my weightloss...when I do I'll post it on here.

Have a great day everyone!

  6. I'm so glad you found a WW leader you like, it makes all of the difference in the world. I had a great one too who also got fired and she was replaced by the woman who lost a whopping 12 pounds to get to her goal weight. I just felt like I couldn't relate to her at all. Its always nice to get encouragement from someone who has walked in your shoes. Best of luck in your journey!
