Height: 5'11"
Talking I feel like I've lost weight already...
... off my shoulders!!

I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting tonight in forever - since the spring. And it turns out that the 330 that I thought I was is actually 322.4


!!!!

I know it seems silly - 7.6 lbs, but I feel like I've already lost weight - likes it's a headstart for sure.

I just know that this time, I can do it. This time, I am truly doing it for myself and not because some guy doesn't accept me the way I am.

And I'm so happy to be here on my journey!

YAY!


Thank you very much for the words of encouragement, I really appreciate it. I spend 8 hours a night at work on my butt, so I figure this forum'll be a great idea for motivation to get my butt moving once I go home!

Yay!

I know you can do it!

And here is an 100% true story, just to prove a point: Last year I joined here. I lost 25 lbs, I was looking good and feeling good, and I knew I could get to my goal... then I stopped comming here. Poof. After a few weeks, I lost my motivation to eat right and exercise, and over the year I ate myself back to where I started (plus 10 lbs)! And here I am again, with 5 lbs left until I reach my lowest recorded weight last year, and knowing this time I can do it!

The moral of this story? Don't disappear on me! *hugs* I want you here, I like you already! (yes I am an odd, hyper person, can you tell?) Your enthusiasm is wonderful, and you're off to a great start. Keep it up!

Not sure if this entire post was OT, but I wanted to say it anyway.

Well, there you have it, have had an extra head start.
Those are 7lbs you never have to lose. It makes it mentally easier.

That's not nothing! That's 7.6lbs closer to your goal! Good for you I have 2 friends that are doing WW, and they are loving it, and getting some GREAT results (both physically and emotionally). I've heard the meetings really help. Like a RL 3FC hehe.
