My very first weight watchers weigh in

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day Everyone!

I was extremely nervous and anxious about my first weigh in.  I was unsure of whether this whole WW thing actually would work for ME!

So today - I did my first weigh in.  I'm down 3.4 lbs.  When the receptionist said it, I immediately started having a party in my head - a food free party - but nonetheless, a party. I was ecstatic.  This actually worked for me.  So im gonna keep it up!

I know that its normal to lose between .5 and 2 lbs a week - so I wont expect 3.4 pounds every week - but what a way to start off!

Current plans - continue working out 5 days a week and staying within my daily point budget.

S/N - hubby is becoming more and more interested in eating my "good smelling" food

My first day of weight watchers!

Today, I went to my very first Weight Watchers meeting EVER!  I am super excited.  I work from home and I should TOTALLY be working right now, but I am so CURIOUS about being on Weight Watchers.

So.  I dont know if WW has a ticker or anything, but here are my stats:
Starting Weight - 188 lbs
Current Weight - 188 lbs (today is day 1)
mini goal (5%) - 179 lbs
long term goal - 150 lbs (or less :))

What made me join weight watchers:  Jennifer Hudson's commercials airing during the holidays WHILE stuffing my face.  I watched her on American Idol and thought she was pretty and talented, but now she is even more beautiful.   I cant wait for her episode on Dr. Oz to air today.

As far as fitness, I've been doing Zumba and Cardio Dance Party at my gym and i'm gonna start incorporating more strength training as well. 

CURRENT MOOD:  Inspired! and Motivated!
