Weight Watchers here I come

For the past few years, I have gained weight. In 2012, I weighed the least I ever had and was 12 pounds away from my goal weight.

Then, for some reason (I really don't know what triggered it), I started gaining weight. Ok, one can gain a few pounds, then get back under control. It happens, but no. I let it go on far too long and I gained 40 pounds in 2.5 years. Yea.

Easter 2014

Awful, isn't it? It's ok. I'm not going to be offended. I'm angry at myself for letting it happen. So, this past Sunday I decided enough is enough. I have been saying that for months now, but doing nothing. I kept thinking I could do it on my own. But, I am wrong. I can't.

What did I do? I signed up for Weight Watchers on-line. I have done the meetings before, but I have found I have very little in common with the people in the meetings. I would go, weigh in, then leave. What's the point in that? Instead, I joined the on-line program. I am more of a loner anyway. I believe this will be more successful.

Weigh ins are on Friday {which has always been a good way for me to do this} and I'm hoping for a great first week! I have a big goal of 12-15 pounds by July 2nd. It is doable, I just have to follow the program.

What have you done to lose weight? Are you better at a structured program or going it alone?

  1. I'm a weight watcher, lost 3 stone so far. I find blogging my weekly weigh in gives me that kick up the bum I need. Good luck! xx
