After my small gain on vacation (seriously - only 5 pounds after a week of drinking rum in the Caribbean - I consider it small!), I decided to get right back to focusing on losing weight. I almost didn't do it because I have so many things happening over the next couple of months but then I did the numbers. Once I complete (and WIN) this transformer I will be at a healthy weight for the first time in 20 years. If I lose exactly 10% I will be within 3 pounds of my Weight Watchers goal weight. That was enough for me to sign up.
I started my journey 10 years ago, Prior to that I didn't think about my weight but I also didn't do a lot because I was embarrassed by how I looked. When I moved across the country from my friends and family I didn't think about my weight because they had no idea how large I had become over the years. Then I decided that I wanted to go home for a visit. Hello Weight Watchers!
Weight Watchers was instrumental in helping me lose the first 40 pounds. Then I got into a holding pattern. I felt so much more comfortable in my skin that I didn't complete my journey. Fast forward to now, I'll be 50 in April, just 1 month before this Transformer ends and I WILL be at a healthy weight when I turn 50.
I want to be healthy. I want my clothes to fit, mostly I want to be healthy and avoid any medications that I can, for as long as I can! So I will be successful with this transformer.
The picture was taken last week while I was in St. Thomas. I'm not too unhappy with where I am now and that makes it a little harder to stay motivated which is why I love Dietbet! I am going to lose those last 16 pounds and I am going to start my 5th decade as healthy as I possibly can!
