Since the beginning of December I have lost 12 lbs. I am down to 139 lbs. and my goal was 135 lbs. I'm not sure I can get to 135 lbs. or that I even want to. Right now I can fit into a lot of clothes that I couldn't fit into before and I am satisfied.
How did I do it? Weight Watchers, exercise and just being careful not to over eat. I have also been eating a lot more fresh fruit. When I'm hungry I reach for a banana or a clementine orange. My new goal is maintaining and beefing up the exercise (beefing up is a poor choice of words).
It was a hard journey. The first week I gained 1 lb. and then I began to lose 1 lb. or 1 and 1/2 lbs. a week. I have also lost quite a bit in inches.
Losing weight is not my favorite thing to do so I will work just as hard to not gain it back. The best decision I made was to start my weight loss journey before Christmas. That decision kept me from overeating during the holidays.
congrats on your weight loss!!! It's on my list of things to do this year
