WeightWatchers: Week #1

I went to my first official WW meeting today after work. It was somewhat overwhelming! I'm sitting here at home and don't have a clue as to what to eat. I got a lot of literature so maybe it's a matter of getting caught up on some of the reading.

I weighed-in today and...ugh.

WW points range: 18-44
My WW points allowed per day: 19!!!

(These points are based on your current weight, sex, age, height and how active you normally are during the work day.)

Anyway, I don't know how I'll be able to keep my daily eating to 19 points. I'm pretty sure I must be eating at least twice that right now. :P

My personal goal was to lose 15 pounds, but I think aiming to lose 10 pounds during this 10-week program will be a huge accomplishment. I'm going to change my weight loss ticker right after I post this. I think seeing my weight in actual numbers on the ticker might be a bit more meaningful to me than how many pounds I've lost. I initially wanted to keep my real weight a secret, but, ah, what the heck. You can tell I'm packing a few extra pounds just by looking at me so who am I kidding. ;)

Note: Okay, I just changed the ticker to pounds. I can't even remember the last time I weighed 134 pounds. Probably in high school or early college. Yeah, probably 10 years ago.)

I really wish that one of my co-workers decided to join so we could motivate and support each other during the week. No such luck, but I do know other people in my "class". I may need to call on them during the week!

On a side note, can you believe that I'd have to weigh 120 pounds in order to be at the highest end of a "normal" weight range according to the BMI?

Well, DAY 1 of this journey starts tomorrow....
