I just wanted to post my victory here because well, I've been working really hard at this and I am proud of myself. :)

Eight weeks ago, I started going back to the Weight Watchers way of life. I was on WW before Mama got sick again and I lost around 50lbs. Well, I had gained it all back plus some during her illness and after her death, and finally I decided I had to fix myself. Yes, I was/am broken. Anywho..I decided to give the WW meetings a try and see if I really was missing out by going it alone. I WAS!

Tonight was my 8th meeting, and I am proud to say that I received my second 5lb star and have lost a total of 10.4lbs so far. This is really a big deal for me because I just feel like 10lbs is so much and it's been pretty effortless to lose with the WW plan.

Now don't get me wrong..I'm still a mammoth, a hot one, but still. I am 10lbs closer to feeling better about myself and I just wanted to share that. :)
 
Woohoo!!! Congrats! I started doing WW at the beginning of the year, but I am only doing it on my own and just tracking online. I miss the meetings but can't really do it right now. Good luck! We should start sharing WW recipes or something on here. :thumbup:
 
Wahoo, congrats, Manda! 10 pounds is great.

I have been doing the online since August, I am down 30 pounds, only 10 more to go, but I haven't really been pushing it since before Christmas. lol
 
Thank you so much guys!!!

Meg, Olive Garden has a meal called Ventian Apricot Chicken that is 7 points for the entire plate. It's 2 pretty fair sized pieces of chicken breast with an apricot sauce/reduction, some broccoli, asparagus and tomatoes. Then instead of the unlimited salad, you can get unlimited soup. 1 bowl of minestrone is just 1 point, and the zuppa tuscana is just 3 points. SO, if you had 2 bowls of soup plus the meal, the MAX you'd be spending is 11 points. That is killer for OG.
 
oh ok cool :) I should research more options for eating out with WW..but we don't eat out a lot lol...plus I don't plan on staying on it long just wanted to lose about 20lbs of excess baby weight I was stilllllllllll holding on to

Are you holding onto it in the boob area? If so..just keep it!
 
Woooot!!!! WTG!!! I know how awesome that feels...I just hit 12 pounds from the first of the year, and even though I'm still fat...my clothes are fitting better, my jeans fit (I can breathe in them LOL) and I'm just so excited about getting to my goal weight! I love that you got back on it and are doing so well!!
 
Congrats! Sticking with it and losing weight for 8 weeks is a big deal! I'm also doing WW, but I haven't followed it as closely as I need to the past few months and am stalled at 20 lbs down again. I'm doing it online, but I've been toying with the idea of seeing if I can find a meeting at a time that would work for me.
 
Awwwwwesome!! This totally makes me wanna do something about my weight. I'm tired of the excuses. It's time for me to take charge and DO SOMETHING!

Thanks for the inspiration, Manda! :thumbup:
 
That is FANTASTIC Manda!! I am so happy for you, 10 pounds is MAJOR.. and to feel so good about the way you are doing it, and motivated to continue is Fabulous... Congrats hun! :)
