the first official WW weigh in after joining

so i have heard that I am competitive... riiight! wink wink

So... i join weight watchers two weeks ago, but I attend the first meeting without joining to test it out. THEN i go back the next week and join, and when they put me in the system i had lost 3.8 lbs from the week prior... BUT i couldnt be logged until i officially joined so it didnt "count" for their records. NOW who really cares b/c I lost the weight and that is what matters.. BUT....

i go back the next week to do my official after week one weigh in and i have gained .2 lbs. NOW... i know that .2 lbs is the weight of a toilet trip or a large muffin, BUT its super frustrating that I join meetings and my first official weigh in is a gain!!!!!

oh well... i am really truly logging things now, i think the meetings really help me hold myself accountable now. cheating only messes with me, no one else gets hurt or helped by not being honest about what i have eaten. SOO... i am going to start being honest, even when I break plan -- and start counting those extra weekly points as real and not just my pretend i dont have to count buffer.

my goal is 15 more lbs by July 4th, that is my start date in 2007 and i would love to say that I lost 60 lbs in a year -- to give myself that reward and success. I am only 7 weeks away, but that is a really possible goal with true logging and the 28 pts of exercise a week I should get.

strange... when they tell me to get 28 pts of exercise i START finding ways to fit in exercise so i can reach that goal... i used to say, ah if i get 3 days cool... or ill go bike for fun but NOW im like... ok i have 30 mins of free time and 4 pointst to get... go get em girl! YEA!!

joining with my mom has been ok, but we really havent done much supporting yet. this week is going to be hard b/c my sister is coming back in town and my dad has no cares about a diet, so we will eat out alot and eat often -- and i have already used some weekly points b/c it was mom's birthday, so i dont have tons to spare people~! oh well, this is when you learn the lifestyle change and not the diet, is when real life gets in the way and teaches you how to live skinny in every moment!

hope all is well to anyone who is skimming -- and every step matters!
