I'm calling this new blog "Third Time's a Charm" because I started Weight Watchers for the THIRD time on March 5, 2016. I blogged my first time around and found it very helpful and made some new friends along the way.
I joined WW for the first time in October 2007 weighing 220 and by the end of October 2008, I had lost 70 pounds and was only 5 pounds from my goal. The day the scale read "150" was also the day that 2 pink lines showed up on a pregnancy test! Unfortunately, I had to quit attending WW meetings and didn't stay on track and gained 55 pounds during my pregnancy. When I left the hospital, I think I weighed 180 and if I remember right, I only lost about 5 more but I stayed around 175 for the next year and then it started climbing again.
The second time I joined was in September 2011 and I weighed 205. I had lost about 30 pounds by March 2012 and then I gained a couple of pounds and went a few weeks without getting back down and I gave up. I wish I had just kept going instead of quitting.
So here I am, again. My starting weight this time was 230.4 which is 10 pounds heavier than my original starting weight back in 2007. It's been 2 weeks and as of a few days ago, I'd lost 6 pounds. According to my scale, I've lost a couple more since then so I think it's 8 pounds now
My goal remains 150, but honestly I need to weigh less than that. So when I get there, I'll decide how much further I want to go.
There it is. The history of my weight for the world to see.
