I joined Weight Watchers last Tuesday (May 27th). I had wanted to join Monday, but it was Memorial Day. All weekend I had been researching it and getting more and more excited only to find out I had to wait an extra day. Oh well, I met really nice people at the Tuesday meeting!

I chose to do the POINTS because I felt that I could eat some of the things I liked still. I am allowed 35 points each day which has been somewhat hard to consume. Last night I had 4 points left. I feel like I am eating all day, healthier things, but still. It is good though because I am not hungry. I am just worried that I will go to my Tuesday meeting and find out that I gained 5 pounds. I had hoped to lose 5 pounds the first week

I like the WW ice cream. A whole fudge bar for only 1 point! They are really good too. For breakfast I have been having a light yogurt for 2 points and a banana for 2 points. For lunch I have been having a 6 inch Turkey sub from Subway with light mayo, mostly because I have been having a hard time deciding what to eat and haven’t really been in the mood to cook something. I want to find the WW bagels but I haven’t been able to find them anywhere. Anyway I am really excited about this.

I haven’t gotten to pick a goal weight yet, so my first goal is to lose 10% of my weight. 10% of my weight is 28 pounds. I weighed in at 282.4lbs. I would like to get to 150 someday, but I think my goal weight will have to be below that. For my height I think that is still to much weight.

My boyfriend has been really supportive and we have gone for mile long walks around the track a couple times this week. I plan to exercise more as I continue the program, but I didn’t want to do too much too fast.

I read somewhere yesterday that 100 pounds is just 1 pound 100 times. I can handle that. If I lost a pound a week or more for you know 2 years I would have lost more than 100 pounds. If I never start I will never be able to get there so best to do it while I am young.
