Well it appears that maybe this weight loss thing runs in the family. Did anyone see the comment in the last blog post? That's my cousin Annemarie. She told me exactly how she usually looses her weight and ... guess what?! I have great news this week!
I lost 2.8 pounds! For a grand total so far of 4.6!
So, I guess I will have to watch my cycles more and take the losses in any increment they come in. Thanks Annemarie, for all the advice!
And THANK YOU! to all my friends who've helped me out so far. I really feel confident and strong about this.
In our meeting today we talked about why we loose weight. Many people were loosing weight because of health reasons... a bad back, advanced age, diabetes, or what ever other ailments they had. When she looked at me and asked why I was there to loose weight I already knew my answer.
So I can go on the rides at Six Flags with my kids.
Yup! That is my motivation. Last Summer, we went to Story Land in New Hampshire and when we got on one of the water rides, I barely fit into the seat belt. I nearly had a panic attack thinking that I had to get off the ride and would have had to walk off, leaving my family behind and walking out embarrassed in front of a lot of strangers. So even though I'm sure I'll be able to fit on the rides well before my actual goal weight, that's my motivation right now to do this.
As for another interesting part of the meeting...
A woman that was at the meeting mentioned that she wasn't sure if she wanted to loose weight. She was just there to maintain the weight she's at. Well that really struck me. Why didn't I think of that? Like 30 pounds ago! So, I'm writing it down here so that in 4 months, 10 months or even 3 years from now when I'm thinking that I don't want to loose more but want to maintain, I can look back at this and see that it's ok to still attend meetings in order to maintain your weight. Heck, those girls at Weight Watchers don't really care if you loose weight. Yah, sure, I'm sure they want you to succeed but really as long as you pay your dues each week, it doesn't matter to them. So why not pay your money and go to the meetings and maintain. And then when you're ready to loose again, you will already know where to turn to! You know, sometimes the easiest things can allude a person.
So, I'm going to enjoy the lost 4.6 pounds and hope that I can loose another 4.6 next month!

Woo-hoo!!! That is a great loss! OK, I think that any loss is a great loss, really, but anything over 1 and I jump up and down.
I am losing it to be able to enjoy life with my kids to. I am so limited right now in what I can do because of this weight, it just kills me.
Weekends are my hardest because I weigh in on Monday so I can't really fudge even a little. Here's hoping that I have something close to your success tonight!
