Weight Watchers - friend or foe?

So, like I said, I am starting this blog to journal my trials and triumphs while I try and lose 40 (OMG FORTY) pounds. I can't believe I'm putting this out on the internet for the world to see, but there you go, I need to lose 40 pounds. I started this whole journey back on 10/29/09 at the ridiculously high weight of 185.8 pounds.

Before this past year I had never seen a number on the scale higher than 169. Ever. And the two times I saw that number before I quickly lost the weight to get down to my normal weight in the 140s. The lat two times I lost a significant amount of weight I used weight watchers. I was never a fast loser, but I think I remember losing more than 1 pound a MONTH. Because at 1 pound a month it will take me over three years to lose the weight and uh, that is unacceptable.

So here I am putting this all out there for the whole world to see in hopes that maybe I can keep better track of everything and be more successful with this whole thing.

Tomorrow is weigh in day #1 of the new year. Truth be told I'm totally nervous because well, I just am. I suppose I don't really need a reason to be nervous eh?

In other news, I'm passing up on a happy lunch with my boyfriend and a good friend of ours to take a 3 mile walk with a coworker. It's all about the small victories at this point me thinks.
