Maintaining

Tonight was weigh in and I was exactly where I was a month ago when I weighed in.  Just typing that I realize I hadn't weighed in for a month.  Time just seems to fly by me lately.  Considering I was away last week and I've been indulging some in foods and snacks I've not had, I'm thrilled to maintain.  Even though I want to lose 7 more pounds before I'll truly be content, I've been playing with adding a special treat here and there to see if I can maintain.
I had a nice talk before our meeting with one of my friends who has now set her goal.  She's only 2 1/2 pounds away from making it and I KNOW we will be celebrating her accomplishment very soon.  When I missed the meeting last week she was afraid I wasn't going anymore.  However, I'd just told some of the girls at work today that for me, being there every week is essential to my success.  I NEED to hear the discussions at the meeting and to be held accountable.  Weight Watchers isn't just a way to lose weight, it's truly MY way of life.  Determination to take the weight off got me here and determination to not gain it back will keep it off.

Congrats Denise! I know you'll lose the last 7 too. I do know that the last few are always the hardest. I've never done any weight loss programs. (Except maybe my 'Richard Simmons exercise video' phase!) That was a very long time ago, when I could still exercise! Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. I hope all is well in PGH PA! Take care
