Last week I started my Weight Watchers journey. At sign-in I weighed 209.4 -- yeah, more than I thought I would weigh. Okay. So I followed my points values faithfully all week and didn't go over my allotted 24 per day. Last night was my second meeting and I lost (drum roll, please...) 4.6 pounds! I am very proud of myself! I'm down to 204.8. Woo hoo!
I know that you lose more the first week, and I don't expect to lose that much any other week. I know I'll be lucky to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. But this first week gives me the boost I need to keep going.
By the way... why do they call it "losing" weight, after all? You lose something unintentionally. Accidentally. You turn around and it's gone. "Oh, darn! I lost my (whatever)." But you don't "lose" weight... you have to fight it off every step of the way.
One day at a time... one meal at a time...
