Who wants to join me on my weight loss adventure?!!

Today I joined Weight Watchers. I've done this before, but this time it's different. I can feel the motivation in me. I just know I can do this and will eventually get to my goal weight. I'm not going to set any records for how long it takes, but it will happen.

Did that sound convincing enough? I hope so because I'm not really all that excited about it. I mean I want to lose weight, but I hate the slow process. For my health I have to do this or I will have Diabetes or have a heart attack or something. Also, I can't have this much weight on my joints. I don't want to be in a wheelchair ever, let alone before I'm 40. 

I came to this decision when I found out my insurance doesn't cover Lap Band surgery. Can you believe I was thinking of this? I still wish I could have it because I would have to lose weight then. I hate to throw up so I would never overeat because I would be too scared to throw up. 

So, anyone who wants to join me on my weight loss journey is welcome to comment and keep track of your success. I will blog my good weeks and bad. There will be some bad weeks I'm sure. We are almost to the Holidays. 

My goal is to lose 70 pounds. I don't have a timeline for this. Hopefully, it won't take me 10 years, but if it does then so be it:-)
