I just have to share this with somebody and I'm the only one on the farm today so you ladies have to listen to me brag for a bit. I started Weight Watchers in August (IT WORKS!). I started out at 180lbs and this morning I weighed in and my current weight is...(that was the drum roll in case you were wondering) 145.8 lbs. WOO HOO!
Begin each morning with a song in your heart. |

WTG, girl! I'm really impressed. You started at about what I weigh (178) and I'm beginning to feel like that's where I'll stay for the rest of my life.

Thank you ladies. I have been really surprised that it has not been that hard to do. I have "tried" so many diets and after the first week or two I just gave up. I think because I was having to eat what someone else was telling me to. And I don't know about you but I can eat only so many salads and dry chicken breast before I need a big old juice steak with a bake potato. On WeightWatchers I eat what I want to eat I just have to watch how much and kind of share it around the whole week. If I want a bowl of Cheerios for dinner I can. Or left over pasta for breakfast I can. I don't feel deprived at all. Here's a before and now picture.
I still have about 20 lbs to go. I'll keep you updated.

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. You look beautiful - although, you look beautiful in the before photo too - just thinner now. Keep up the good work. You're a motivation to all of us.

Love the pictures and you look so happy, as well you should. Maybe I should get over my blase attitude and get with the program. One of my friends just started WW last week and lost 5 pounds. I told her not to worry, I found them for her!

Trying to get some things done around the house but stopped for a bite to eat and just had to check in. Thank you ladies. I feel like that progresso commercial "THEY FIT!" It's kind of funny because I have not had to go buy new clothes I'm just working my way back down. When I fit back into those size 4 jeans I've been holding on to for the past 6 years I'll post a full body picture. And yes I will expect much praising. I have such a since of accomplishment right now. I have actually lost 5 more pounds since that now picture. I went shopping a couple of weeks ago, not to buy just to try. It was the first time in years I didn't leave the store in tears swearing I'll never eat again. When I lost my first 10 lbs I was hooping and hollering in the bathroom and my husband was busting up laughing. I asked him what he was laughing about and he said he remember sitting in that same spot about a year ago when I stepped on the scales and realized I had put on those ten pounds and I was hooping and hollering then but it sure had a different tone to it. Well, I'm off to finish outside. Thank you again for sharing in my happy day.

Thank you all. Joey, I would recommend Weight Watchers to anyone needing to lose weight. It doesn't matter if it is 5 lbs or 50 lbs. It works if you are willing to work with it. I did it all online because I just don't have time to go to meetings. I was afraid I would not stick with it because it was online and not actually weighing in with people. Actually, even working online you catch yourself thinking of it as a person. The program sends you cheers when you lose, 'pats on the back' if you don't and words of encouragment if you gain. I had gained 1 lb a few weeks ago. It sent me messages like don't give up, alot of reasons can be the cause of a gain. It really is a great program. I will tell you it wasn't until I decided to lose the weight for me that I actually did it. I had tried other 'diets' but they did not work and I think alot of it was because I did not want to lose for me. I always thought others looked at me like I was a fat tub and I needed to lose weight for them. One day it hit me, if I don't lose this weight I'm going to die of a heart attack or stroke. I enjoy life too much to give up one second because of my own weakness. Good luck too you and you can do it. I can not begin to tell you how much better I feel. I did take a second look at the before and now pictures I posted and I thought wow I have a neck now.

Hoorrayyyy for you VICTORIA! You go GIRL~ WW definately works. I did it several years ago and lost 20 pounds (of course I found them again) but that is my own fault. LOL I just got a new treadmill a few weeks ago, so I have started a daily exercise routine- which really makes me feel so much healthier! Its amazing isnt is?
Keep us posted on your continued success. You look great in your pictures!
Hugs,
