13.6 pounds
It's definitely slow going and I had one week that was a gain, but overall I'm doing pretty good. I feel good about the progress and the changes I'm making. This morning when I put on my jeans I actually didn't have to do the deep knee bends to stretch them out and that felt pretty good.
I'm at my first 5% goal for WW and I'm looking forward to even more losses ahead for me.

8 pounds
Things are going good, but slow. I've been very on plan, although it is very hard on the weekends when we have family obligations.
I do feel good and I know I'm making good choices though so I feel very happy about that.
I am anxious for spring when I can get outside and get some exercise in.

Official weigh in
Mondays are my "official" weigh in days for WW. I figured this would keep me accountable over the weekend and it worked. Officially down 5.4 pounds.
I am happy happy and excited about the week ahead. I am working on meal planning right now. It's hard with just the two of us and our crazy schedules. BUT, I know this will keep me on track if I have a plan in place!

6 pounds
Last night we went to Applebee's for dinner, but I went with a plan. I had the weight watchers paradise chicken salad. It was pretty tasty and likely something I would have again.
Today I have to go to a family gathering where there will be homemade mac and cheese, homemade beans and birthday cake. Nothing I should be eating. But, I am just going to have a very small portion and not make a big deal of it. Life goes on even though I'm dieting.

5lbs down!
I know the first week is the best and since I have so much to lose that I'd have a good week this week. I really need to stick to the plan through the weekend for my 'official' weigh in day of Monday. But the scale this morning said 5lbs and I am over the moon happy about it. Before I know it I'll be feeling so much better and healthier I'm sure. Here's to a great, but freezing here in Maine, weekend!

Feeling so empowered!
I feel great about this journey I'm embarking on. I feel great about the choices I'm making.
Last night I had hubby stop and get boneless, skinless chicken and I wasn't sure how I was going to cook it. I decided to try the 'famous' diet coke chicken and it was pretty decent. We had it with green beans.
While it was cooking I was starving so I calculated the points of the tortilla chips in the house and counted out my serving size and had some salsa with them. That more than satisfied my snacking and I felt really good about it since I only ate my allotted portion.
I'm down almost 4 pounds since Monday morning and I don't know if it's only psychological, but I honestly feel better. This is a GOOD thing.

Day 3
Onto day three and doing well so far. I feel really good about my decisions and I like that the new WW plan focuses more on healthy choices.
I am trying to plan out this weekend already so I don't fall into the weekend trap of laziness and eating poorly. My husband is on board somewhat, but sometimes he doesn't fully 'get' that it's hard for me to say no (for myself) when he wants something terrible.
I hope I'm able to stay strong this weekend as I set my weigh in dates for Mondays. I'm hoping that's the extra motivation to be "good" over the weekend.

First day
Yesterday was my first day and it was a good day. It's amazing how quickly your mentality can switch when you've decided to make a change. I'm happy I've finally realized I need help.
So far the new plan seems better to me as it encourages healthier choices. For example, a skinny cow ice cream sandwich used to be two points and now it's four. Someone who didn't have points left for the day may choose to eat something with lower points for a snack, thus healthier.
So far so good. Between the site and blogging I should be accountable and on track.

Joined WW online
This morning I bit the bullet and joined WW online. I know I don't have time to make the meetings right now, but I know this will keep me accountable and on track. I love all the technology so I know I'll be interested in keeping everything up to date. Plus last time I found the message boards very helpful.
So I'm doing this. I have needed to for a very long time and I feel good about the decision. I'm nervous, but excited.

Do It December
That's going to be my motto this month. I got up this morning and did 20 crunches and 5 push ups. I was running really late, but I was surprised I was only able to do 5 push ups. That sucks. I need to get better. So much better.
So I'm DOING it in December!!!
Life is cha-cha-changing!!
