Weight Watchers

On February 5, 2011 I attended my first Weight Watcher meeting.  I was the heaviest I've been in my life. 

Today, after 8 weeks, I have lost 15.4 lbs!  No more pictures until I lose some more.  This has been a wonderful adventure for me.  I'm going to list some of the changes I've made.  Eating breakfast (1/2 cup Grape Nuts with 1 cup fat free milk) before I go to work.  I never used to eat breakfast and would be hungry all morning at work.  I make a sandwich and snacks (grapes and carrots) to take with me for work.  I never used to take a lunch at work, but now I eat my sandwich and then go on a walk.  There is a park right across the street at work.  There is an inside concrete path around the park.  I walk around 4 times in 30 minutes.  I drink lots of water with Grape Propel (it has lots of vitamins and tastes great).  Tracking the PointsPlus of everything that goes into my mouth really makes a difference.

 I LOVE the exercise I am getting now.  I feel SO much better.  I am very excited to start feeling better.   My pants are getting loose on me.  Right now I am enjoying the feeling of not busting out the seams of my pants, so I revel in feeling them loose.  Pretty soon I'll have to buy smaller pants.  My sister, Ramona, has been a great sounding board and encouragement for me as she is doing WW also.  She weighs in on Friday and I weigh in on Saturday, so we keep tabs on each other.  She shares great recipes with me also.  Here's a picture of something I never thought I would drink, as I LOVE 2% milk.....

There.  My FIRST blog post.
