after my Tuesday weigh in.

I got weighed in at my home meeting today. I lost 2.2 !!! I am so pleased with that. I know the exercise has really been the catalyst for my losses. I seem to workout harder at the gym. Maybe it is the other people also working out hard or maybe it is the machines are better than mine at home but I am walking longer and faster on their machines. I will get to see how mine is in comparison today.

The gym I go to has people of all ages and stages. I like that. I can see many people my age there. It is a comfortable place. A lot of machines of all kinds. So far I have only used the treadmill. I am not really too interested in more tho I could use toning.

I had hoped there would be aerobics classes but that is not their focus. Bummer!

So my goal for the summer is to come out of it weighing less than when I came into it. That would be a major victory over the last several years.

Just knowing that I am actively working on that goal daily is an inspiration to me. I feel good about the process I have created and about being responsible for my own weight loss.

I was too chicken to go ahead with weight loss surgery. Plus I know it is not a magical cure. People who have had that surgery have to be on a regimented plan too. They still struggle with their desire for food.

This effort to lose weight by means of WW's was one last attempt at doing it the "natural" way.

To those that have chosen surgery, good on ya. I am not against it for those who feel it is in their best interest.

For me it wasn't the right thing at this time.
