Great job!

Congrats can't wait to get my 10%

Great job Didi! I am considering doing Weight Watchers for maintainance. I will start looking for my dress soon. My weight tends to fluctuate and I want to be at my goal weight of 150 by then.

Thanks everyone!! @ Rhonda-Ann, that is my whole reason too, I want to be at goal or as close as possible, before I order my wedding dress in January. And to help keep me motivated, I also just realized yesterday that not only do I want to fit into my dress... we are doing a wedding cruise and I realized I need to fit into a BATHING SUIT!! WOW! LOL

That's awesome!! congradulations!!

What is the hardest part you've found about your experience and what do you find helps most??

Good question Jen! I love to cook and am not to keen on prepared food. Didi, how do you manage? Are you eating the prepared food or cooking for yourself? If you are cooking for yourself, are you using a specific cookbook and if so which one?

That is the great thing about Weight Watchers, you can buy their frozen meals (at the grocery store they aren't like a Jenny Craig center), or just cook & eat whatever you want. They promote healthy eating, like getting in enough veggies & fruits for the day, water, dairy, etc. Based on your weight, gender, etc you get a certain number of points per day you can eat & then 49 weekly points to splurge on stuff, all foods have a points value. It is super easy to figure out since they have a point calculator app for my phone.

@Jen - I find that what helps out the most is tracking what I eat. You can track online, through an app or I do it with a little handwritten book so I can keep it on my desk at work. I write down everything I eat & track my points so I don't go over for the day. The hardest part? EXERCISING!!! I have to step up my game, without the exercise I find that I am FLABBY! LOL. And I don't want to just weight less, but look good in my dress & bathing suit too!!!

I'm sold. There is an office near my job. I am going to go there this week.

That terrific keep up the good work!

Great job, i reached my 5% a few weeks ago and am 2 lbs away from my 10% =)

Yay Kate!!

Rhonda - It also really helps if you can go to the meetings every week. I go with FH and it is great doing it together. Plus our meeting leader is sooooo awesome!

Thanks tinkybaki. I'm really loving doing this with my FH. He helps to motivate me!
