5.2

Hmmm, you are probably wondering what 5.2 is... is it the number of miles I ran today? Is it the number of apples I ate today? Is it the amount of money in my wallet? None of the above-- its the amount of pounds I lost my first week on Weight Watchers!! How exciting is that?! I must say I was really nervous heading into the weigh-in because I heard everyone loses weight their first couple of weeks and I didn't want to be the one that didn't. I was in shock when she told me I had lost so much!! I have been warned that the amount of weight loss does go down after the first week or so. So I'm ready for a less than surprising weight loss when I head back next Saturday. Actually I hope I don't lose another 5.2 pounds because I don't think that is healthy! A 1-2 pound loss a week is on the healthy side.

I feel more confident now and like I can really make a difference in how I look and feel. I'm also feeling the pressure to lose weight for the wedding. I am getting worried about my dress not fitting me. I just have to keep working hard. My WW buddy, Jenn, is a great inspiration. She lost 30+ pounds two years ago and has kept it off! It really helps to have someone who's gone through the program and is cheering you on-- yey for me and Jenn! It will be another tough week but I know I can tough it out. Wedding dress, here I come!
