Well, today is the day. The new round of WW meetings is starting at work and they begin at noon. I have another commitment that won’t allow me to be for the beginning but my leader said that she’s usually there until 1:30 and she’ll leave the scales out since she knows I’ll be coming later. I’m excited and nervous… but mostly excited. I stepped on the scale this morning for the first time in a while. I didn’t want to be too freaked out if the number was something that I wasn’t expecting… I think I’d probably have a small break down right there during the weigh-in. Luckily, it was the same as I’d seen weeks back, so apparently I’ve at least maintained and not gained more. This is a good thing. I know I’ll have a good 45 pounds or so to lose before hitting goal again but I’m up for it. I’ll update when I get back from the meeting this afternoon. Wish me luck.********************************************************
Okay, so I ended up getting to the meeting at 12:40 and weighed-in and heard the entire meeting, which was nice. To be more exact, I have 48 pounds to lose to get to goal according to the WW scales. They’re 1.5 pounds heavier than mine but I was naked and hadn’t eaten anything so I do believe that’s about right. Right now I get 26 points, at least until I lose 3 pounds, and 35 flex points a week. I eat those suckers too. Every single one of them. I always did when I originally lost the weight and I have no doubt I will this time as well. It worked for me because I didn’t have to starve myself to maintain once I got to my goal. I really believe that if you eat very little to lose the weight, you will have to eat even less to maintain the weight loss and I didn’t want to have to do that. It may have taken me a little longer to lose it by eating all of the flex, but I still think 90 pounds in a year isn’t too shabby. I bought a box of the new Chai flavored smoothie mixes from WW to try; my friend said they were terrific and tasted like cake batter. Yum. They’d better be good for $7.50! I’ll report back on that.

Well, you are right 45 pounds is not as horrible as gaining back 130 for sure. I actually gained back 50-60 pounds before I got my butt back in gear this last time (7 months ago or so). It is definately possible to do it again. And plus you've got the support of at work meetings which I do think helps a bit. Sounds like you are well on your way and that is always encouragning. Hang in there and I am definately going to continue to read about your journey.
