Still trucking along on this Weightloss Journey

I have not posted in a while, not because I quit Weight Watchers (I have trudged along going to meetings and working the program), but because my weightloss had stalled.  I got to One-derland and maybe celebrated too much, but I hit a plateau or as I thought a brick wall.  For 8 weeks or so I have lost and gained the same 2 pounds over and over.  I have had to miss my regular meetings because of work, been on vacation and been out of our routine.

The key for me has always been to plan, prep, pack and track.  I did just that the last 2 weeks.  I discovered low fat Reddi Whip this week and sugar free jello and it is Dee-Lish!  plus it takes me back to my Granny.  She and Pawpaw Pinky had red jello after every meal for dessert.

We celebrated Austin's birthday last night and he was so sweet, he said "Look at my skinny momma!!! I have never gotten my arms around you before".  Talk about a non scale victory!

So..................drum roll please.............to date, I have lost..............

There are still alot of marbles in the "pounds to go" jar.  I am not exactly sure if that is where I will get.  Those marbles represent the pounds to Weight Watchers goal for me.  My doctor feels a more realistic, although higher goal, would be more maintainable.  I go back to the doctor in November and we will see.

My goal for this journey was to become healthy.  I have to work at least 25 more years.  I also wanted to be able to buy clothes from the regular ladies section of the store, not at Catherines "Stout Shoppe" as it use to be called.    I am at that place now, and I feel so much better.
