Woo Hoo! Go Me! Much of this week's weigh loss has been due to my drinking more water (a goal I set last week). But still... When I first started WeightWatchers, I received a little book mark. When I lost my first 5 lbs (by week 3), I received a little gold start for my bookmark. My first thought was, okay, this is really stupid. What is this - Kindergarten?
Today's gold star (for losing an additional 5 lbs) was different. You would've thought I'd won a damn Academy Award.
I still have a long way to go - and I'm sure there'll be times when the scale won't budge (or worse, when it'll creep up a bit) - but I'm encouraged.

Whopee! I have faith in your and you sounded so motivated so way to go pal :D
A little at a time makes it stay off. Eat right, walk and drink lots of water and expect this to be a life time committment and not a quick fix.
I'm a pro at it. Yepper been here before myself.
Thanks, shionge. Actually, seeing 10 lbs lost, instead of the usual 3 or 4, sort of renewed my determination.
Hi pirate. Dear Hubby and I have been eating a heart-healthy diet for years. My challenges are portion control (which is where WeightWatchers helps me, altho' it makes me grumpy), a sedentary lifestyle, water (which I just started drinking regularly), and the fact that my metabolism came to screeching halt when I hit 40. You're right about it being a life long committment. I can't go back to eating large portions, or stress-eating and expect to maintain my progress. Thanks for the encouragement.
