It's my official weigh in day and I managed to get back to 199.0 lbs. Woohoo! Go me! Of course, I am concerned at how long I will stay there. I wish I could just skip the 190's and get down to the 180's. I cannot remember being in the 180's in my entire adult life. Of course, I know I wasn't even 180 when I got married almost 11 years ago, but as far as having memories of stepping on the scale, I never remember it being under 194. I believe it was shortly after I had my youngest son. My husband and I went on this crazy diet where all we ate was fruit and drank water and I got down to 194. It wasn't a healthy way to do it and once I started eating things other than fruit, the weight went right back on. This time around, I feel I'm doing it the right way and I feel this could be my turning point to staying under 200 lbs for the rest of my life. I never ever want to be 200 lbs again. I hate just looking at that 2 in front of my weight. I feel that when people see that number, at the dr's office for example, they automatically judge you and label you as "fat", no matter the fact that I am 5 ft 11! So I am very happy with 199 lbs. It took a lot of will power to get that 15 lbs off and I am proud of myself. 15 lbs! That's amazing to me! I think about how much 15 lbs weighs when I'm carrying it and, honestly, I am feeling lighter this morning. I haven't had anyone notice my weight loss, which is a bummer. I think if people noticed, I would be even more motivated. However, Weight Watchers told me I'm losing too much weight too fast and I need to slow down. Umm...hello...I think NOT!! I'm averaging a loss of 2.2 lbs per week. That doesn't seem like a lot to me. Anyway, I've now lost over 5% of my body weight. Only 11 lbs to go to get to that 10% mark, which is a huge goal for me. I'm so excited that Weight Watchers is helping me!!
