Today starts off my first day of my new "life".

At 5pm, I will be checking into my first Weight Watchers meeting of 2012.

I did WW back in 2008 when I was preparing to be in a wedding. I lost a fair share of weight and actually had to have my dress DRAMATICALLY altered before the wedding. After the wedding, we spent time with family and on vacation... where I decided to throw caution into the wind and eat what I wanted. Well... That didn't work out too well and after one meeting back at home, I quit WW and gained all the weight back (plus some more unsightly pounds).

So I am "returning to my roots". My first meeting is exciting to me. Not the first weigh-in... DEFINITELY not the first weigh-in. I don't even want to KNOW what my weight is. I know it's NOWHERE near where I want it to be and I'm just so "afraid" of it. But I know that I need to lose a LOT...

Now, when I say a "LOT", I'm not talking like the people on the commercial saying "I need to lose 45 pounds!" I'm talking about at least 100 pounds. Yes, you read that number right. It's a "1" with TWO zeros after it. And that is my MINIMUM.  

To be in the healthy range for my height, I should weigh between 135 and 160. Okay... NOWHERE near that right now.


So after tonight, I will come back and update my little ticker on the side with how much weight I need to lose to get to my "goal weight". I'm putting my goal weight somewhere between 145 and 160. I'll make the final decision when I get there and fill out my registration.



But until then... I'm getting ready to shed the pounds and become the woman I used to be!!
