4.6lbs Gone FOREVER

I decided to start a blog to journel publically about my weight loss journey. I've never been a "dieter" really, but have never in my adult life been at a healthy weight. Just a little over 3 weeks ago I joined Weight Watchers because so many others have been successful, for life, on this program. After joining I found even more people I knew had been a member of WW and I would have never known because they are still at goal weight. How cool is that!

I started out joining WW at 171.2lbs on a 5ft 1 in. frame. WOW, I just posted my weight to the world and I am not ashamed. I am so proud of myself for sticking with it for going on 4 weeks and down 4.6lbs. That is weight I will NEVER see again, bye bye poundage.

If you are someone who knows me you know if there is something I believe in I almost never shut up about it. I have pretty much told everyone I work with I am on WW and the progress I have made. I hope it brings encouragement to others to reach for whatever goals they have as well as remind me to stick to mine. Little by little they will see me shrinking daily since I am at work more than anywhere else in my life. For those who will only see me every now and again they will see it more and for those who only see me once a year....yikes will they notice!

I hope to have a picture posted soon to document my progress not only by words, but by images. If you stumble upon this blog I hope this gives you encouragement to reach for whatever your goals are and never think they are too far off.

Did I mention I want to lose 40 to 50lbs?! Stay tuned....
