251.8
I had an excellent first week on Weight Watchers. I was absolutely 100% eating what I had planned and no more all week. Thursday I had a few extras (chips, cheese, peanut butter), but I had lots of extra points for the week that I hadn't used. And I think it's OK 1-2 times a week to eat a few more points to shake things up.
I lost 4.4 pounds week #1. I'm a little disappointed it wasn't more for the first week, but still happy with being in control of my eating and actually doing something positive.
This week I'm going to plan ahead, prepare a variety of foods, stay out of the kitchen, try to get in more steps, be in control tonight with the Schantz's and tomorrow at Renetta's.
It will be exciting to get under the 250's! It has been a long time.

252.8
I have had 3 outstanding days of following the Weight Watchers plan. I have planned my meals and snacks ahead, followed the plan, tracked on the app, focused on being satisfied. I know I need to be careful of eating after school and eating in the evening when I'm at the table working on the computer.
I also want to be careful to not get bored with what I eat. It will be easy to eat too much chicken because it is zero points. I'm going to try to change it up with tuna, ground beef, eggs, chicken sausages, soups with beans, vegetarian choices.
I haven't seen 252 on the scale for months and months. I need to make this my plan, my way. A plan that works for me. A lifestyle.
Success: Thelma gave me some Kit Kat candy bars. I haven't eaten any yet. I plan to eat one on some days and enjoy them. Challenge ahead: making Easter cutout cookies and not sampling the dough or cookies.

254.5
I started at Weight Watchers on Thursday (256.6 at home). It was so difficult to walk in that door, to stand in line, to sign up. I had said I would never go back, but obviously, what I've been trying to do on my own has not been working. I need to be held accountable. I need to not give up and think I'll start over. I need to be committed. This will keep me from the extras that were sabotaging my weight loss.
I decided no one else there would know me or care if I've been there dozens of times before. Sally would be caring and supportive. The rest--doesn't matter. What matters is that I need to do something for my health. For my knees and ankles. For my blood pressure. For living thin. For being more active. For being able to wear nicer clothes. For having more energy for teaching and grandkids.
Yesterday (Day #1) was a good day. I planned ahead and wrote down my plan for the day. I stuck to it 100%. I haven't been under 255 for several months. I'll focus on 5 pounds at a time. But more importantly, I'll focus on planning ahead, tracking, counting points, looking for a good variety of healthy foods, staying out of the kitchen, being more active, drinking more water.
