Week 1 Success!

Posted by Morkai on February 23, 2009

So weight watchers is definitely working for me right now. By Friday I had dropped to an current low of 182.4 which is officially 10lbs down from where I started in January.

A mexican birthday party on Saturday night boosted me back up a little for my official Weight Watchers weigh in this morning  (183.8lbs) which was expected but I still netted a 1.6lb loss for last week. I didn’t go over points either just bit into my activity points a little. I expect that to be water weight which will vanish off this week.

So I am doing the happy dance on the way to class tonight and feeling highly motivated right now. Life is good when you’re on a roll :)
