Did anyone hear me yelling this morning in my bathroom??? :) If not, you're lucky because I think all of my neighbors heard me, lol. I was in total shock this morning when I jumped on the scale! And right now, I'm still smiling from ear to ear :) :) :) This past week, I have lost 2.4 lbs.!!! 2.4 people!!! Now I am 18.0 lbs. lighter than I was when I started exactly 3 months ago today! And yes, I really did scream! Even my dogs came into the bathroom to see what was going on, lol.
Okay, so I realize that may not seem like much to some people.....heck, I've read stories where some people lose 18 lbs. in a month. And yes, I probably could lose this weight faster if I would make more drastic changes in my eating habits, but sadly, I'm a very picky eater :( I don't eat salads, I don't eat veggies, heck, I don't eat any kind of meat except for bacon! I admit it.....I still enjoy my potato chips every once in a while. I still enjoy my homemade Mac & Cheese occassionally. And pizza.....well, let's just say I'll never give that up! ;)
When I started this journey 3 months ago today, I really had NO idea what to expect or how fast I would lose weight or if I would even lose any weight at all! So to me, 18 lbs. is a BIG deal! HUGE!!! That averages out to 6 lbs. a month! And if I can do this, then ANYONE can do this!!! ANYONE!!!
Thank-you so much for all the wonderful, positive comments you leave.....they really do mean the world to both Toni & I! I'll also be adding new pictures to my slide show later on today, so watch for those.
Have a wonderful weekend :)

I knew I heard something!!! WOOO HOOOO Benita! I wish I was there IRL to give you a big ol' (((hug)))!!!!!
Woohooo!! Awesome job, Benita! You're on a roll. That's a great pace to be on. No reason to rush it. I'm taking my time too (goal of 40lbs in 10 months). Figuring I'm more likely to change habits and maintain if I take my time. Best of luck as you continue!
What wonderful news! I am so excited for you! I think 18 lbs is great! And I need to lose that myself! I've got to get motivated. I just can't get passed my sugar cravings.
I heard you! Congrats Benita! and remember, it is not about how fast you loose it! My docter was happy that I lost 6 lbs in a year, because he says it will stay off when you loose it nice and slow like that. I too love my food, and it is so hard to cut back when you don't eat very much to befin with!
I started drinking protein shakes and was amazed at the inches I lost and muscle tone that I gained!
So ahppy for you!
Congratulations Benita! You are on the right track! It's all in the attitude and you've got it girl!
I've been going to WW for 12 weeks now and although I've done tried losing weight before, it's different now. I seem more determined now. Maybe it's because I'm older...and wiser. I don't know...but whatever it is, it's working for me too!
Keep up the great work girl! I'll be cheering you on!
