Ten pounds from goal
I haven’t updated for awhile but not because things have been going badly. In fact, since getting my bodybugg, my weight has pretty consistently gone down. Today, I’m at 165# which is ten pounds from my Weight Watchers goal. I’d really like to get to 143, but I can start working for Weight Watchers at 155.
Last year at this time, I wanted to be at this weight, but I didn’t get here. I lost my motivation after that and then I had that problem with thyroid surgery and then discovering that I had had cancer and needed to go through radiation treatment.
However, now it feels like it’s really going to happen this time. I know it’s not over when I get to my goal weight. First of all, I want to keep going and get to 143, maybe 140, but if I can see 155, I’ll be thrilled!
It isn’t just because I’d love to work for Weight Watchers, but there is this person I know who talks almost all the time about how she’s trying to lose weight, but folks, she’s not. I see her more these days and I see confirmation of what I already knew. She has dessert at every meal even after two or more helpings of whatever the main dish was.
I know I was probably the same way before, but my thinking has changed about what is a healthy portion or what “being full” feels like. I keep hoping that she’ll see my success at this weight loss and she’ll want it, too.
She doesn’t walk well because of a past problem and I know that if she loses some weight, she’ll walk better and her overall health will be better. She’s so much less active now than she used to be.
I love this woman and it would be so sad if something could be done for her overall health and she’s just not willing to do it.
Anyway, I know she’s not ready to do anything but all I can do is keep plodding on and praying that she’ll see how happy I am about this and take it to heart.

Hi! I have been wondering about the BodyBugg and how it’ll work with WW. I’m currently doing WW, and since we don’t count “calories” I am not sure how that would compute with the BodyBugg calculations in calorie units. Would you mind explaining how you’re doing this? Thanks!!
