Weekly Weigh In

Week # 12:  -1.6 pounds
Total pounds lost:  -10.6


10 pounds. I've lost 10.6 pounds in 12 weeks. I don't think I have ever lost 10 pounds before, with the exception of having almost 10 pounds removed from my body on May 26th when my daughter was born.

Today, I received my "I've lost 10 pound" ribbon!  Boy did that feel good. Worth all of the salads, worth all of the fruits and the resistance to all things delicious all of the time. I never thought I would say it was worth it, but it really has been. My jeans are loose, I can see my toes again when I look down, I feel more confident and my husband has noticed the change and comments on it quite a bit. SO rewarding. 

God has been good to me in this whole venture with weight watchers and I am excited to see that I am only 8 pounds away from my Lifetime goal weight... which means I get to attend meetings and weigh-ins for free as long as I maintain that weight within 2 pounds, for life!  How motivating is that? 

I'm so greatful that Chris gave me the opportunity to lose weight through this program and that I've had so many people encouraging me and pushing me to do this. It has made dramatic differences for me. 

It's not easy. I still fall. I still give in to the cravings. I will always struggle with my love affair with food. The difference will be, that I've succeeded. I've seen that I CAN do it. I have no excuses left! 

Woohoo! 10 pounds down, 17 to go :)
