I have been working on this weight loss for a long time now. In 2009 I did great but in 2010, I only lost about 20 pounds and then put 4 or 5 back on during December. So I decided that I need to shake things up and get re-motivated. I joined Weight Watchers last night. I don't think that I need their diet so much, but think the accountability of weekly weigh ins and the support of an in-person (as opposed to an online) group will help me.
The diet actually scared me a little because I am afraid that it will let me have a little too much food. After I got home, I got little emotional about it. I have joined WW many times. My biggest concern in the past was, "Can I stick with this diet?" Now I know that I can stick with it. What a great feeling! So I decided, no worries because I can always adjust the diet if it lets me have too much food.
I am looking forward to weighing in next week and think that having that experience ahead of me will help me stay on plan and exercise like I did last fall.
