Weight Watchers Update

This will be quick, because I'm headed to Goodwill to donate some clothes. I'm only taking two boxes, but these two boxes are monumental for me. They are filled with clothing--pants, mostly--that are too droopy around my waist and hips and even my ghetto booty to comfortably wear anymore. They are the "in-between" clothes. I never realized how much I hated them until I began trying them on, one by one, and then tossing them into the "see ya!" pile.

I've lost a total of 9.2 pounds so far on Weight Watchers. I'll go ahead and say it: Weight Watchers rocks. It hasn't been easy, but it's not been all that difficult, either. I've still got another good 10 pounds to lose, but for the first time in a long time, I'm proud of the way my body looks and feels.

Finally, after three years, every item in my closet fits. Everything zips, buttons, and snaps without having to lie down or inhale dangerously. Never mind that I'd need to wear some super-heavy-duty Spanx in order to willingly leave the house wearing a couple of pieces. If it zips, it fits.

Hiya,

I know this is not related, but i read your comment on the advice smackdown.

I submitted a question about blogging and it would be great if you could walk me though a few things.

Thanks for your help,

Ashlea

Congrats on the weight loss. I have not been doing WW, but am on a mission to lose at least 20lbs, 30 if I can. I have been doing it through exercise and changing my diet here and there. My body likes to play the famine game if I diet - oh you THINK you are going to lose weight by decreasing calories...I will just stop burning off those calories then won't I. I have to add the exercise component if I am to stand a chance. So far I have lost 12 lbs. Of course I just lost my beloved treadmill in my basement flood last Thursday. The universe is playing a wicked game with me, but I am undeterred! I can walk OUTSIDE this time of year. So there. Keep up the good work!

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! Losing weight is freakin' hard, unless you're Britney Spears and can spend $22,000 a month on help. (Did you read that? Because I totally read that!) I do WW too, if you count counting points every few days when I remember ooh hey, is that a cookie?

Anyway, you're doing great. Congrats!
