I am starting a thread to track my weight loss journey and intend to post regularly to keep me on track and for added accountability.

I have about 70 pounds to lose, which seems daunting. I am going to break that down into smaller milestones and celebrate my successes as I reach those milestones.

I started Weight Watchers again today and am unsure if I will continue with meetings or if I will just do it online.

My first goal is to lose 5lbs.

Here's to a good, on plan week.

You made the first (and sometimes) the hardest step! Good for you, keep it up and keep us posted.

Dawn · Oct 8th, 2008, 10:48 AM

good luck to you! I will be cheering you along!!!!

bnjj · Oct 8th, 2008, 10:57 AM

Thanks ladies.

I am not sure how I am going to use this thread but at this point at the start of my journey I am going to post my meals.

Breakfast today was:

banana
coffee with half and half
egg beaters and cheddar wrapped in a tortilla
glass of water

YAY, good for you. What you are doing is soo good, small goals first!I just joined WW on Monday, took me years to do it. lol. This is how I lost weight years and years ago. IT works!!!! The last year I tried Atkins with No sucess, I would lose and regain all of my weight every month. Great Luck to you!!! You will be sucessfull. I would suggest going to the meetings only as the support is really good. I already made friends with some people and we plan to meet on Monday nights. I need the added support, I would always do it alone and fail. Your breakfast sounds good!

I love these weight loss journal threads!

They really do help keep you accountable and keep you motivated.

Great breakfast

! Egg beaters and cheese, yum.

Good Luck to you bnjj. I've been thinking about starting my own thread to track my weightloss and eating/exercise too.

bnjj · Oct 8th, 2008, 02:04 PM

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement! This is such a great community.

bnjj · Oct 8th, 2008, 08:47 PM

For lunch today I had fat free yogurt and a slice of cheese.

For dinner today I had a basa fillet.

For snacks today I had a Halloween sized Kit Kat, a large apple and a cereal bar.

I am not feeling well and wasn't very hungry today. Also, I am finishing up the food I have in the house so my meals may seem strange. I will be doing a full grocery shopping excursion this weekend.

It's not easy to admit to the world that I have 70 lbs to lose but I've made my ticker and it is there for all to see.

One day at a time...!

cfred · Oct 9th, 2008, 10:24 AM

Yay! I look forward to seeing your ticker slide towards the other side. I think you are approaching this in a sensible manner with a good game plan. Just keep doing what you are doing and know you have tons of support here!

Hi BnJJ, good job on posting your ticker! I wish I had the balls to do that!

L - very small amounts of -- turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce and a sliver of pumpkin pie, glass of milk
D - turkey and ham sub from Subway with lots of veggies and no mayo (had mustard instead)

7 glasses of water so far and one cup of green tea
