Barby - Getting Back to Where it all Started

It's no shock to those who know and love me that my weight seems to be something I really struggle with. It just hasn't seemed to click for me yet and every year brings about something new and more yo-yoing. Some days it just seems so hopeless. In August I started listening to a podcast called Half Size Me about a woman who lost all of her weight on Weight Watchers. She has weekly guests on to share their stories and the more I listened the more inspired I became. I realized that the only time I was truly successful was when I was going to Weight Watchers meetings and following their program. I decided to rejoin and attended my first meeting this past Sunday  It will take me a few tries to find the right meeting for me but I already feel good about my decision. Each day that I track makes me feel a little bit stronger, and makes me think a little harder what I'm about to grab. I signed up for a challenge on WW also. I am going to lose 13 lbs by Thanksgiving. That's less than 2 lbs a week and will break through this plateau I've been stuck at the last few months. 

I have started walking with a lady at work twice a day. We call them sanity breaks and is just enough to get us up away from our desks and destress without being gone too long. I also still ride my recumbent bike although this week has gotten away from me a little. As for my food, I'm doing pretty good. It's my first week which can be hard to adjust to but it only took me 3 days to get down to my daily points. Every day it gets a little easier and I am excited to go to my weigh in on Saturday to see how I did. It feels good to be back on WW and I hope this time I am even more successful with it. They say you need a goal that you can see happening, that is specific, and realistic. My goal is to become a lifetime member.
