6 pounds lost.

I have tried to do this before, a few times, and failed.
I began this time on Weight Watchers and I am loving it!
The weight is actually coming off, and I am really enjoying the food.

Not a lot has changed as to what I eat, just learning the basic knowlege of  portion control.
I don't eat the fatty foods like I use to. I can eat them sometimes but they are not that much a part of my lifestyle anymore, and I am not missing a thing.
I do occasionally have a serving of ice cream or a serving of "Cheetos" and sometimes an 8oz soda, but I am not consuming the amounts like I use to (all in portion control).

I go to the gym regularly and do water aerobics, and I walk short distances. I do a little dancing at home because 1- it's a fun way to be active and 2- I can do it inside when the weather is bad. Not much I can do right now because I have let myself go for so long that it has affected my health. I have to watch my heart right now but I am told that it will slow down as my body becomes more adjusted to the active lifestyle. I have let myself settle into an in-active lifestyle over the past few years and it is killing me, LITERALLY!
I had no idea just how fast you could get this way, it will sneak up on you before you know what's happened.
