NOT!!
I am actually UP from my unofficial New Year's weight.... 203.2. THIS is why you don't weigh on different scales!! :o)
I was SURPRISED, to say the least... but, in reality, I wasn't REALLY surprised, because I really know better than to expect the scale to do what you want WHEN you want it to, right?? This is why I usually don't get my hopes up when it comes to weigh-ins.
BUT, that IS weird... it's been a full month since I had an official WI & yes, the holidays were in the middle of all that, but I certainly expected to lose more than one pound, which is what it was... from 204.4 to 203.2.
Anyways... what counts is that I KNOW that I'm on the right track... I'm living my life like a normal / healthy person, my attitude is GREAT & I'm NOT going to let the scale guide me through this process.
But ohhhhhhhhh.... crossing over into ONDERLAND is so exciting!! I know I'll be there next time. (unless this is my SECOND round w/ a plateau!)
It was a great meeting, none the less. Lots of new people from when I was there last month. I didn't have any "awards" this time... no reason for Michelle to ask me to share what my story is... what I've changed, etc... stuff she usually tries to draw out of me. :o) Well... after she gave out awards, someone asked about figuring out points for recipes & eTools was mentioned & I said something about how great it is, the Recipe builder, for not only figuring out points for your existing recipes, but to take them & tweak them, figuring out how to make them friendlier, etc. & it was funny. She says.... "I realized earlier that this is the day you would be here" (since I only go bi-weekly) "you see, Julie is really involved in the WW online community & I want you to tell them about your website" .... I said "my website?" (thinking maybe she meant this board that I hang out on) & she said "yes".
...so I told them that I have put together a website about my journey. That I tend to ramble on & on w/ you guys & decided that I needed to have a place to put down ideas & chronicle how my life is changing, where my head is & all that. That I've put it out there in hopes that others will pick up something that they can use... that I'm an open book, etc... Anyways... she said "if you want to get her site's address, talk to her after the meeting" LOL!! So, I had several ask me for the address. One of the few regular guys we have in our meeting, Neal, asked me for it (he said I inspired him... made me smile.) & I asked him if he's ever come check this site out, specifically this board & he hadn't... so I highly recommended eTools & GoaD (can't say enough about you guys!) and hopefully he'll be popping in to say hi & join in, too.
Another lady, Linda, who I hadn't seen before, asked for my site's address & we started talking.... ended up staying around for a half hour after the meeting was over. We talked ALOT about struggles & all that... she really touched me, she has lost 60 lbs, too, but is at that stage where she's stumbling, feeling like she still has such a long way to go. So, you know me, I had to point out all of the positive stuff, let her know that she CAN do it.......etc... told her to please check out my website... that I feel totally full of myself when I do that, but that I put it there for that purpose. She started just over 300.... but she looks great & I told her so. She hasn't gotten feedback from ANYONE other than her husband... even her family that she went home & saw over the holidays. Anyways... I gave her my phone number & told her to feel free to call me & told her when I am at the meetings. She really touched me.
Anyways... guys, I think I've rambled on enough, don't you? LOL!! Thank you all for your encouragement & support throughout this entire journey of mine... especially these last few weeks, knowing that I'm SOOOOOOOO close to ONDERLAND! :o) I didn't get to have my breakdown @ my meeting today, but I know it's coming up soon! :o)
I'm so glad to be a part of something so great..... GoaD, of course!!
Have a FABULOUS weekend!!!
