You Have to Start Somewhere

You Have to Start Somewhere...

All Progress is a step in the right direction...

How did I get here? It's a question I ask myself all of the time. But it's time to stop dwelling on where I've been but where I want to be. I've been around the block a few times as far as diets go. I have had my share of successes but have always ended up back at square one. 

My starting weight as of January 2, 2018 was 241.5lbs. I can't even believe it. What the hell happened?

Between Christmas and New Years I kept seeing ads for Weight Watchers pop up on Facebook. I'd open them, read the offers, the close the ad. It was too soon after Christmas. I couldn't 
afford to be spending any money on anything "extra" right now. Then on New Years Eve, my family was together after a very hard year watching my father battle cancer. Our Christmas and New Years the year before was spent at the hospital full of stress and worry. Looking at all of these people that I loved so dearly, including my husband, my kids, I thought to myself I can't keep going like this. I need to get healthy. I need to be here for as many New Years Eves as I can. January 2, 2018 I signed up for Weight Watchers new Freestyle program and messaged my friend Lisa to let her know. She was right in there with me. We also have friends Diane and Betina coming to meetings with us. We are supportive of one another, share how are weeks are going, share recipes and new grocery store finds. I couldn't be happier to be sharing my journey with these ladies. 

So here we go...
