I only know what week I am in based on how far it is to my one-year anniversary of being in Weight Watchers! I can't believe I have been at this endeavor for almost a whole year!! My current goal is to lose the rest of my weight by the end of December! I will have to push hard, but it is possible!
This week I hit 60 POUNDS LOST!!!!!!! Even I feel like that is surreal!
Based on the number of people that AREN'T in my meetings anymore, I guess I can see why they always have that astrick on the magazine ads: Results not typical!
You really have to work hard at this. Every day, every meal, every work out.
Marc has made me a deal that upon completion of my goal he will give me $1000 towards a new wardrobe-I am willing to bet I'll find enough deals to walk away from the shops with more clothes than the people on What Not to Wear and their $5000 of New York price clothes! This is a super exciting promise and he plans to put the money aside in 5 weeks!! It will be quite necessary. Just today I got out a favorite pair of pants I hadn't tried on since last winter and they were RIDICULOUS!! Marc and I thought I looked like a magazine ad with those! I could pull them out 5 inches!!
The other thing going on with this is our paper chain. I have 26.6 lbs left to lose to reach WW goal for my height. Marc suggested we use the paper chain the preschoolers had just made to keep track of what I have left to lose. Each Tuesday when I get home from meeting now, the kids can rip off however many chains equal however many pounds I lost that week. Such encouraging support!!! I love my husband and kids support! They have been invaluable in this project!
