Whoo Hoo!!

Well I finally did it I crossed over the 20 pound threshold. The last few weeks have been so frustrating, baby steps is all I can say. But I lost every week and was consistant and persevered. I am hoping that by taking it so slow that it will stay off once and for all. I had to change my meeting time to Thursday's, I liked the leader and the ladies in the meeting but I still miss my Wednesday morning girls. Today in our meeting we talked about is 0 really 0? It was a reminder about figuring up our points and how to do it accurately. How if you have more than one serving you have to add it all together which can change a 0 point food to a 1 point food. Common sense, but sometimes you have to remind yourself of what you need to do.
I also had a young lady come up to me afterwards, she was someone that I would never guess needed to come to weight watchers. She was in my opinion skinny and beautiful. She then expressed to me that I was her inspiration for this week. She had to see the shock on my face, how could I who has so far to go be an inspiration to her who was so little and cute. She then when on to tell me that she is .2 away from her 20 and like me she has been inching along the past few weeks. She then told me that when she heard that I had had the same problem she felt confidant that she could keep going and next week will be her week to hit her 20. It felt good to be able to confidently give some advice about where I've been and where I'm going.
I'm also finally going to go get that pedicure....IT IS ABOUT TIME!!! But I've earned it. So I will be sure and tell you about how wonderful it is I may even post pictures.
Have a fabulous loser of a week.

My meetings are on Thursdays too and we talked about the same thing at our meeting. I lost 1 pound this week, and this was without getting in too much exercise because of being so busy!
Got my hair cut today to celebrate my additional 5 that I made it to last week. Just hope that my husband likes it. It is not as long as he likes it to be but I feel 2 pounds lighter!

That is so funny...with your long hair you never now you just might have lost 2 pounds. I had a lady today at my meeting that said she was .2 away from a goal so she went and took her bra off and it put her below her goal. This of course cracked me up because I've been saying for weeks if they would let me strip I would be closer quicker:)
