Pounds, that is. Yep, I'm back at it. Fourth (and final) time on the Weight Watchers program. The program comes highly recommended by many many many people, including yours truly.
I say "final" time because this is it. I'm here to stay. And I say this here so that everyone can read it. I'm making myself accountable not only to the scale or to the WW leader or participants or my family and friends, but to the potentially millions (yeah, right!) of people who could happen upon my blog.
My first go round was my most successful. I had lost almost 20 lbs. and then I got lazy with my eating habits and fell off the wagon. The 2nd and 3rd times around my head just wasn't in it and I didn't get very far either time.
Now 1.2 lbs. isn't a lot, but it is a loss nonetheless. Had I seen +1.2 it would have been pretty hard to keep on going. Just over a pound could be the difference in the clothes I'm wearing, or water weight or whatever. But if I add another 1.2 loss next week and the week after that and the week after that I'll be on a roll (and losing mine!).
Sure, the upcoming wedding increases my motivation, but more than that is the anticipation of having more children. There is NO WAY that I could add baby weight onto this pile and be healthy. It would just give me that much more to lose, and make me that much more unhealthy. And so I've pledged to be in the "recommended" weight range for my age and height before attempting to have a baby. And at 1.2 lbs. per week, it'll be about 5 years before I'm at that stage. I'm KIDDING!!! Not quite that long... :)
If anyone has been on the Weight Watchers program, or even if you haven't, and you have any good tips or tricks to share, I'd appreciate any advice. Constructive criticism is welcome as well.
Have a nice day!

Great job on the great start with WW. You're right--1.2 lbs isn't much, but when lots of 1.2's add up, it'll be worth it! So! We're thinking about babies are we??? :) Copycat. Ha!
Oh don't you worry your little head about babies...it'll be some time yet. Livvie will be running all over the place before our thoughts are a reality! :)
Hi, Vicki,
I came across your blog from Karen's. I know you wrote this post awhile ago, but I have an idea. I did WW for awhile too, but it got a little too $$$. Anyways, my idea is for your water. Try the Crystal Light powder for bottled water. It's great! Or you can make a pitcher & pour it into your bottles. There are so many varieties, you're sure to find one you like. Keep up the good work!
