Weight Watchers

So...I've been doing some thinking and decided it was time for me to get back on track. I really need to take some more weight off - I want to feel more like "me". Last week I took the first step & joined Weight Watchers and am attending the meetings. My friend, Traci, and I are going together so that makes it a easier. I also found out that some others are going - the more the merrier! :-) I weighed in at yesterday's meeting and had lost 8.6 pounds my first week! WooHoo! The first week is usually a bigger number so I won't continue to lose at that rate, but that was a great kick start.

When I was on WW before, I was always successful with it. It's a program that makes sense to me...I can still eat what I like, I just have to be smart about when & how much. If I want a Filet-O-Fish meal from McDonald's, I just have to save the points by making smart decisions the rest of the day (that's what I did this past week...was craving a fish sandwich so I had it). I can't do those diet where you have to deprive yourself of certain foods (which would technically mean that you should deprive yourself of those foods the rest of your life in order to keep the weight off??? No thank you!).

So...I'm on my new adventure. Now I just have to get back into the routine of working out (that's step #2).
