Finally Met My Weight Watchers Goal 11-23-09

As of today, after weighing in at my Weight Watchers Meeting, I have lost 48 pounds over the past 25 weeks. My journey began about six months ago on June 1, 2009 when I went to my first WW meeting. I weighed 166 pounds and I am only 5 ft. tall! These are my "before pictures". I was wearing an XL and a very tight size 14 in clothes.


These are my pictures from today's meeting. I now weigh 118 pounds and I can actually fit very comfortably in a size 6.


Here are a couple of pictures of the sweet ladies from my Weight Watchers Class.


This is one of the most expensive necklaces I own. It has cost me 6 months worth of WW dues to earn my sweet necklace made of paper clips. My leader gives us a paper clip for each pound we have lost so we can make our necklaces. It is a good reminder of how far I have come. I can now wear it as a double stranded necklace. Ha! Ha! Very colorful, don't you think?!

These are my little reward stickers, my "starcatcher bookmark" and my WW keychain. I earned the star charm today for meeting my goal. I received the clapping hands after being a member for 16 weeks. The little round charm with the number 25 on it represents the first 25 pounds I lost.

Now I will work really hard over the next 6 weeks to maintain my new healthy weight. I look forward to earning another charm for my keychain then. It will be a small "key" that represents reaching "lifetime" status. As one of my leaders used to say, "I can, I can, I know I can! I can, I can, I know I can! I WILL!
