Starting Weight Watchers

Today was day #1.

I went to my first meeting last night!  Met up with my inspiration, Cindi, there!  She has lost 35 pounds in the last 4 months and I am so proud of my dear friend!  I found out at the meeting that I am allowed to eat 35 points worth of food per day, with a 35 point bonus for each week.

I went straight home and wrote down all the food I had eaten that day and added up the points: 54!  Hmmm.  Well, it didn't seem like a lot of food!  I guess it is the quality of food I was eating!
Today I was very careful to count and portion control and at the end of the day I was FULL and had used 37.5 points!  Perfect!!

My goal is to lose 2 pounds per week.  My short term goal is 13 pounds and my ultimate goal was 65.  Marc thinks I should go for the full 86 pounds that would take me back to my 18 year old weight-pre college cafeteria!  If Cindi can lose 35 in 4 months, than maybe the full 86 isn't so ridiculous.

Now, where to fit in that exercising . . . .
