My first Post!

Well...

I started this blog because I was inspired by other folks on the WW boards who document their success and challenges in blog format. I've been so inspired by other peoples' journeys and hope to inspire others in return. This is my second time seriously attempting WW. The first time was in 2003/4 and I lost 70lbs by sticking with the plan and learning to love exercise. In 2004 I started working overseas and found it really hard to stick to eating on plan and exercising. As a result I gained all the weight back over the last 4 years. So here I am back to square one and ready to be a successful loser.

I joined WW this time around on Nov 11, 2008 and so far I'm down 8lbs. My Thursday meeting was canceled on Dec 25 and will be canceled again on Jan 1 so I wont weigh in for two weeks in a row . The holidays have been a bit difficult but I managed to track almost everything and my home scale says I've lost a pound... A x-mas miracle??? We'll see at my next weigh in.

I don't officially have a 'before' picture but I found one that was taken a few weeks before I started WW. I also posted more official pics that I took tonight at 8lbs down. Can you see a difference? I can't yet.
