This is me. And not even at my fattest. I could ride that go cart straight to heart disease and diabetes unless I do something. And for me that something is Weight Watchers. In Summer of 2007 I lost 20+ lbs on that program. Then Johnny C's boss closed the company and took off owing us ten's of thousands. All non-essential spending was gone, and Weight Watchers with it, Over the next 5 years the stress, the high-carb-cheap-diet, more stress, and comfort eating brought all that poundage back.
Now I'm determined once and for all to get healthy. And that means losing about 40+ lbs. I've been on WW for one measly week, and I'm already down 3lbs. It's a slow slow program, but it helps me stay accountable. I helps me deal with real world food. After the first week, my appetite is different and I stop craving fatty sugary carbs.
Follow me if you like!
Go Margaret!! 3 lbs in one week is a real accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteYep! Three pounds down is a celebration!! Next time we get our group together we could make is a walk around Calhoun or a hike Nerstrand Woods...yeah?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great start and I am so happy for you. WW is a great plan and I am currently on it, although the money is a sacrifice. It seems a worth sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteI have lost my way a bit these days, so thanks for inviting me to read this blog, I will support you and maybe it will help me as well.
Either way, I cheer you on!!!
