Back to Weight Watchers

I did weight watchers back in 2007 through an at work program that was available. I started in February and continued until September. During that time I was able to drop from 210 to about 170 lbs. I felt awesome...even if I wasn't at my "goal" weight. In September 2007 we finally got pregnant with our twin boys and of course that ended my time with weight watchers. Fast forward to now and after a twin pregnancy that included bed rest, and chasing after 2 toddlers, I am back where I started. It makes me so sad. I feel as though I have failed myself and my family. I have always been overweight and have tried so many times to change but for some reason I NEED the accountability that you get when it comes to an actual program to loose the weight. I need to feel the embarrassment if I have a week where I really just let it all go and eat whatever I want. I also need someone who understands to celebrate with me when I do make strides each week, which is why I officially rejoined weight watchers and am so ready to get this weight off and feel good again. Don't get me wrong I am so happy with my life in general but I am just not the best version of myself or content with how I feel at this weight. So I drove to a meeting, stood in line, and let a complete stranger look at what I won't even let my own husband see.....my actual weight on the scale. When you let someone else see the scale you can't lie to yourself anymore. When the leader writes it down on paper for me it becomes real and I cannot and will not stand for it anymore. So it is officially my time to get thin ..in... yep you guessed it 2010.

So what was my official weight: 209.6 lbs OUCH! It hurts me even to write that and no one is reading this!

According to the information my goal weight is approximately 134 lbs. I am pretty sure that I haven't weighed that since I was in junior high. So the total weight that I need to loose is 75.6 lbs.

My goal is to loose the total amount before the end of 2010. That means I have 52 weeks (about 1.5 lbs a week). Of course I would love it if I could meet the goal sooner but I am trying to be realistic. It is very probable that it will take me all year to loose the weight but I am ready.

I will be adding more goals for the year as I go along. For the few that I have invited to follow me on this journey, thank you for listening, thank you for your support, and most of all thank you for the accountability that you give me.
