I'm on my way...

I AM SO EXCITED!! I joined Weight Watchers last year and this bright, beautiful, President's Day morning I hit my first 50 pounds! I have lost as much weight as my 9 year old daughter weighs! I lived in a serious state of denial about my weight for a very long time.It feels good to finally be doing something about it! It has been one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it is SO worth it! I still have a ways to go to reach my goal weight, but I am well on my way! So here's a before picture and a part-way through picture (of course it's me with my hair pulled up and no makeup because I just rolled out of bed and went straight to my meeting, but who cares? I'm 50 pounds lighter!!!)

You go girl! Losing weight is such a hard thing to do... I'm just a giant yo-yo. You'll have to let me in on your secret!
