Week 3- Weigh-In

My goal weight -- 150 pounds

NOV. 10th, 2012
1st Weigh-in at the gym ... 298 pounds

NOV. 18th, 2012
Week 2 weigh-in ... 286 pounds
Total...12 pounds lost.

Slowly but surely, the tortoise is winning the race! I look at it this way, a slow and steady weight loss will be a lifestyle than can be maintained. A new way of life becoming the norm. I also know that with a slower weight loss, my skin will have a much better chance if shrinking down and tightening giving less loose skin in the end. Don't get me wrong, I know there may be some that will always be loose because of my age, but less is always better. I saw this 59 year old woman (same age as I am) on a morning TV show who started on a new lifestyle of healthy eating and increased activity to lose weight. She also had the same weight loss goal as mine, 150 pounds and she did it. She didn't have any lose skin at all and she did it just like I am, with Weight Watchers and a good regimen of activity and exercise. She lost her weight in right at 1 year. I am also looking at a year for me to reach my goal.
Stay realistic, stay on course and the race will be won!
