[nikkiARNGwife]

As of this morning I've lost 10% of my starting weight..and I'm down 12.2 lbs and 2 inches! Feels REALLY good!

AND you need to make these cookies like right now..seriously..go make them and have 3 for breakfast b/c they are only 1 pt each! Never would I guess they are a WW recipe..they are so chocolately and gooey and good.

I was thinking of joining weight watchers. Do you like the program???

[nikkiARNGwife]

I do! This is the first time I've ever tried it..and it's really working for me. I always lose and gain the same 25 lbs..but this time I think I can really keep it off b/c I think it'll be easier to maintain. I don't feel like I'm starving all the time like I do when I just count calories.

Nikki, did you join online or are you going to meetings? I have been thinking about this... is it easy to understand and put into place?

[eranslow]

Just online...there aren't any meetings close by me anyway. My sister's doing it with me so that helps too. But really it's pretty easy.

WTG Nikki!!!!!!!!!

[YepBrook]

Awesome! I am going to sign up. I have these pesky 20 lbs that never came off after DD was born... I'm even going to the gym 2-4 times a week and still no weight loss. Can't wait to start losing. :)

[Sharon Kay]

Saved the recipe! Need to find some motivation to get started ... going to read up on the WW program ... I'm sure it is different from the 70's when I first looked at it and decided against it ... thanks for posting ... and congrats on the loss!

[Sherri Tierney]

That's exciting! Its great to see the numbers on the scale go down! There was a great article I read about what losing just 10% of your body weight can do for your health.

[Txcorey]

Congrats! That's a good feeling to hit the 10%.

[iScrap]

Congrats on reaching your goal! It's a great way to keep the motivation!

[mrshobbes]

WOohooo! YAY You, Nikki, that is awesome!

[LenaGardner]

Woohoooo! Congrats! :)

[nun69]

awesome!!!!!!

[cardinalskate]

Congratulations! That's awesome!

[nikkiARNGwife]

Thanks...but I think 10 percent is wrong lol..that would have me at like 120 lbs which is NOT what I started at lol! I wish!! I didn't do the math but I guess I was so excited when I weighed in I processed the info wrong..anyway..It may not be 10 percent but it's still 12 lbs gone :)

[LenaGardner]

No matter the percentage, 12 lbs is still a lot of weight! I have a chart that equates pounds lost to actual items and it says 12 lbs is a bald eagle. That's kind of a weird comparison but hey, whatever! :p
