I went to my Weight Watchers meeting this morning for my first weigh in since rejoining last week. I lost 7.8 pounds (3.5kg)!!!! Woo Effin’ Hoo!!! As you might be able to tell, that excites me very much. 
So, I’m now down 65.6 pounds from my highest weight several years ago. 
I realize that weigh in results the first week of starting a diet plan are distorted due to weight weight, etc. That having been said, it was still a great boost to me mentally to see such a big chunk go the first week. It will definitely help keep the motivation high to keep going, too. 
One of my big areas of weakness is partaking of the goodies my boss often brings in to the office. Our building is located right next to an Entenmann’s outlet. He is notorious for going over there a few times per week and picking up cookies, coffee cakes, etc. and bringing them in for everyone to eat. In an effort to help me not partake, I picked up one of the little WW Hungry plushies they are selling now to help remind me to stay out of the goodies!
If you aren’t familiar with Hungry, here’s a video of one of the commercials so you can see him in action. 
Yes, I know I still need to post the previously mentioned stitching photos. I promise to get to them later today. I just wanted to post my good news from my weight loss while I was still so excited. 
Until later ….

GOOOO MEL!

Your Comment…
Way to go, Melissa!
Congratulations!!! You sure know how to come back with a BANG!!!! Great job!!
Hope your Hungry friend helps you resist the goodies. I feel for you, because that could be my undoing! But you can and will resist, especially with such a huge loss under your belt (pun intended!).
YAY! Way to GO!!!

Yeah! That is such a great way to start things off.
Wow, that’s an awesome weight loss for your first week – congrats!
nice!
Fan-effing-tastic! Good job gf.
Oh..on another note…why are none of the women in that commercial fat? LOL. Seems that even WW don’t use plus size models!
Hi – popping in from HYC! Congrats on the great weight loss!
That hungry guy is CUTE! lol If he keeps you out of the Entaenmann’s then it was well worth the cost. In fact, if he works, I might have to get one for the van…maybe he’d keep me out of the drive-thru!
Hooray on your WI. What fabulous motivation for your first week.
Great job!!! Good luck on your healthy journey!
