Tomorrow Deb and I will atttend our first WW meeting. I am very nervous,
scared half to death actually. I don't know how I'm gonna feel about this group thing. And I am so scared I won't be
able to make this commitment and stay with it. Deb has been doing so great on her own and I'm really happy for her. I hope
I can stick this out and achieve a happy, healthier me.

Well, the first meeting wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was
still nervous about being in the group but it helped having Deb there with me. I was very pleasantly surprised to learn I
had lost 8.4lbs since my last Dr visit in June.

I was sure I was gonna show a gain this week. I felt all bloated due to my fluid retention.
I ended up losing 1.6lbs and while it wasn't as much as I had hoped for at least it wasn't a gain like I had expected.

This week I used some of my Flex points, something I promised myself I wouldn't do.
Hurricane Isabelle came through and knocked out the power for 3 days and I ate junk food and ate out a few times. I
was really worried about my weigh in this week. Even with cheating and digging into the extra points I still lost 4.6lbs!!
I was doing a happy dance tonight. I am beginning to feel a difference too....I can lay on my back without my chest
hurting and without any trouble breathing. Yeah! Been way to long since I could do that. I did add some exercise to my week.
I've walked, worked out to Richard Simmons tape. I was sore and tired afterward but the results are worth it.

Ok, I really blew the diet this week. Didn't keep track of the points like I should,
just estimated and used a good portion of my Flex points.. Ate more than I have been and of the wrong foods too. And did very
little exrecise as my foot was puffy & hurting from bee stings. I was very surprised to that I lost another 2.4lbs.
I now have lost a total of 7lbs since starting WW 4 weeks ago. I was supposed to recieve my first 5lbs award tonight
(bookmark) but I chose not to announce my loss. I didn't really want a bookmark anyway. Gonna take a lot more than a bookmark
to get me to draw people's attention to me. Bought a new Points Tracker journal in hopes that I will put it to good use and
keep better track of my points.
