Not Going Through This Again!

I started my 50 pound weight loss journey on March 11, 2011.  To date I have lost 12 pounds.  I am on Weight Watchers, I work out 4 days a week and I take nutritional supplements  – AM Slim/PM Trim.  I have PCOS which makes it harder to lose weight.  Despite all of that,  I feel like I should be further along.  The bright side is that I am consistently losing 1 to 2 pounds per week.  This is hard work!  I don’t want anyone to think that this is easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Here’s what I know for sure . . . I WILL NOT go through this again!  I am not giving up.  I’m going to stay on this path to lose my remaining 38 pounds.  There is no way I could stop now, regain weight and try again.  Been there . . . done that.  So, even though this is the hardest thing I have had to commit to, I am not giving up because I AM NOT GOING THROUGH THIS AGAIN!  That is my motivation.

What’s your motivation?

The journey starts at 203 lbs

I couldn’t believe it when I got on the scale and it read 203.  Well, I guess I should have believed it.  I put the food in my mouth!  The crazy thing is that I weighed the exact same weight when I was 9 months pregnant. . .  omg. Talk about a wake up call.  I knew this moment would come.  When I would say THAT’S IT!  It’s time to get this weight under control.  It didn’t come when my doctor told me that I had high cholesterol or when I had gestational diabetes.  Nah, none of those things did it for me.  203 was the knock up-side the head that I needed.

So, I joined Weight Watchers (which I love, love, love) and started working out 5 days a week.  That was 30 days a go and I’m still going strong.  I am down 7.5 lbs.  That doesn’t seem like a lot, but my Weight Watchers online weight tracker told me that I was losing too much, too fast.  Huh? Oh well, go figure.

How’s your weight loss journey going?
