Here we go!

Well on February 6th I made the choice to join Weight Watchers for a second time.  (It worked then however I thought I could do it on my own..BUT yeah I'm BACK)
Okay so on Monday the 6th I weighed in at my heaviest EVER!  221.6 lbs after week one I lost a total of 6.6 lbs putting me at 215 lbs on monday the 13th.
Yup off to a great start, then my family took a trip to the Dells right before the next weigh in, but we packed fresh fruit and other food so we would not go out I did drop another 1.6 lbs.
3rd weigh in I dropped 2.6 lbs
4th weigh in 1.4
and the I was bloated and could not get enough food and weigh in number 5 I lost only 0.4 lbs.  NOT GOOD.  Well I guess as least I lost a little, but this is when I decided that I need to start (dare I say it) work out.  I've always wanted to be a "runner" but I never really liked it all to much.
2 years ago I started a Couch to 5k and made it to week 5 before I thought I was going to DIE!  SO with no real support or motivation I dropped it like a hot potato!
This time around I am walking 5k a few times a week and working in the jogging a little at a time, and today I did half of week one on a Couch to 5K.  I think I did okay (to see my "running" see my Mapmyrun web site)
Any who today was weigh in and I did walk all but one day...and the pay off 2.8 lbs down so now I am down 15.4 lbs total.
I hope to add to some fatty pictures soon (the Engagement pictures where taken 2 years ago and I was a little lighter then)
I will also start posting some recipes that I am trying and how things are working.  I really am hoping that this Blog will keep me motivated and going!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR HELPING ME!  AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU AND TAKE ADVICE FROM YOU!!!

    1. Mai TaiMomma HOW AWESOME FOR YOU!!!!! For sure keep me posted on what your up to!!!! You can DO IT!!!! And we just need to remember that the weight did not come on over night, sooooo ads much as I want to wake up skinny one day I guess it's just not gonna happen that way. Instead ONE DAY AT A TIME! (If food didn't taste so darn good I would not have a problem!) Again you'll do great!!!!!! Congratz on a first day to a better life!!!
