Well, I did it

I joined Weight Watchers. This is something I have been going back and forth in my mind about for a while. I know what I need to do to lose weight; hopefully, this will give me the motivation I need to follow through.  

My official weight is 258.6 which means it is down from the end of last week. Either that or their scale is nicer to me than my SIL’s. I still have not gotten myself a scale and it is something that I am still hesitating about. Although I have not had serious bulimia issues for years, it is still something that I am very aware of and remember clearly the nightmare that I lived during that time.

My point allowance is 33 points a day and 35 extra points a week. Now, I have to figure out points when it comes to cooking from scratch.

How many points are thin mints? ;-)

Good for you. How often are you going to the meetngs? I need to do something, I am too heavy but have no time for meetings or a gym because I have NO ONE to keep my kids on a regular basis.

It looks like I will be going once a week. The meeting I went to last night, someone brought up the possibility of having to bring children and no one seemed to mind.

THE BEST collection of points values for weight watchers I have found is Dottie's Weight Loss Zone (http://www.dwlz.com/WWinfoTOC.html).

Ask me how I knew that! I think I need to join again...

That is GREAT! Thank you so much!
