Ron I'm off to Weight Watchers this morning for a 9am weigh in. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Why this is important to me...I'll tell you my saga.
In 2006 we decided at the last moment to take a trip to Disney World over spring break with our daughter (then age 10). About a week after I booked the trip I had a panicky moment and realized that at 262 pounds there was a good chance that I would need a seatbelt extender on the airplane. And there was a good chance (not knowing that WDW was Pooh-sized friendly because I hadn't been in 9 years) that I would problems with some of the rides. So off to Weight Watchers I went on January 5, 2006. When we went on vacation in March I was down 20 pounds. Did the best I could while I was there and when I came home I hit WW hard and kept going.
So when we visited in March 2007 I weighed 145 pounds. I continued to keep that weight off until summer/fall 2008. When we moved from the city to a more rural setting and a whole new town. There were a lot of stressers when we moved out here and things never seemed to settle down and the weight started to creep back on. Of course, this is mostly because I stopped eating what I SHOULD and started eating what I WANTED. So when the blue jeans stopped fitting I figured back to Weight Watchers for me.
With my Lifetime status I am supposed to weigh in once a month anyway but there weren't any locations very close by. So now I drag myself in 25 miles one way each week. My goal weight is actually 160 and when I checked back in in January I was 159. Still below goal but 14 pounds heavier than I like to be.
So here I sit at 147.8 hoping to be at 145 by next week. I have today's weigh in and then I will weigh in one day early due to traveling next week and that's it. So do I HAVE to lose 2.8 pounds? No, not really. My clothes fit and all that. It's just I would like to be where I have been the past two years and that is the weight I like to maintain.
Gosh I kind of chatty this morning! Sorry. Kevin said most threads get hijacked!
. I am sooo happy that my weight lost plan is working. Now im on my way to a slimmer me by summer
Class was too crowded so they sent half of us to the deep end. I can't swim and have chronic back problems. Deep water aerobics is a killer for my back. I've told the instructors I can't swim and I have back problems (back problems are why I am really there. Dr's orders to do water aerobics and might not need another surgery or can postpone it!). Needless to say, I couldn't do any of the exercises. Just managed to sputter and sink! Grrrr! So aggravated with myself.
