It's a brand new day!

My Weight Loss

I started Weight Watchers back in May. At first, I did it on my own because it was the cheaper way out. I lost 7 pounds in the first month on my own. In June, I started attending regular meetings with my Mom and a lady we work with. Since June I have lost 27.8 pounds.

I had dieted in the past with Weight Watchers and lost 45 pounds. Going from 177 pounds to 132 pounds was a drastic change that gave me the confidence, and jean size I so badly wanted. Some where along the course of my weight loss, I lost track of what mattered most, and I gained it all back and more.

When I started Weight Watchers in May, I weighed 228 pounds. I was starting to bust out of my size 18 jeans, and I hated buying 2x shirts. It was getting to me. In the 4 months that I have been in Weight Watchers, I have noticed a drastic change. I have more energy, my pants are now a size 16, the 18's are falling off, and I can wear a size XL shirt comfortably.

I'm not proud to say that I let my weight go, but I am proud to say that I started back on my journey. I drink my 6, 8oz. glasses of water everyday, I journal like my life depends on it, and I always stay within my points. I've lost the little cravings for chocolate, or juicy cheeseburgers, and I rarely ever eat a french fry.

If your thinking about joining a Weight Watchers meeting or your currently in the program, I encourage you to stick with it. You won't regret the decision you made.

My goal is to get down to 140 lbs. I have 60.8 more pounds until I'm a brand new me!

Here are some thoughts for you to ponder:

Eat to Live, Don't Live to Eat

Don't give up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

It's a life change, you must be committed.

Your not loosing weight, your getting rid it of. You will eventually find something you lost.

I hope you are all having a great weekend. I've changed the name of my blog because I want to 'start over' in a sense. I'm trying to gear the blog more towards writing for myself and the title explains my life perfectly.
