As some of you may know, I recently have lost some weight. 26 pounds to be exact! I worked the Weight Watchers program very devoutly over the spring and summer and ultimately reached my goal. What is the problem, then, you ask? Well, the problem is twofold.First, I only made it to my Weight Watchers goal by the end of August, not my own personal goal. My personal goal was to lose another 10 to 15 pounds more after I hit my WW Goal.
Second, not only have I not been maintaining at my WW goal weight, I have gained a few pounds back! And, as sure as I am sitting here writing this post, I am NOT going to let myself get back to where I was and I don't like this upward progression on the scale that I am seeing each week!
So, after the little hiatus that I let myself take over the last 8 weeks, I am getting back on track and I am going to get Hot for the Holidays! I saw this challenge at Genesis Moments and Sarah's post inspired me to get in in on this great support system!
My goal is to lose a total of 17 pounds. I think that losing 10- 12 pounds by the holidays is reasonable, and if I lose more, even better. Here is how I am going to do it:
1. Go back to the Weight Watchers program fully. This means counting my points faithfully and accurately each day and staying within my target allowance. This program works for me. I've seen great results with it and I just need to get serious about it.
2. Go back to Weight Watchers for weigh-ins and meetings. I will set a goal to do this twice a month at a minimum and if I can get to more that will be even better!
3. Get my sorry self back to the gym. I haven't been there in months and I am wasting LOTS of money each month there. So, let me put the money and the membership to good use and get this remaining weight off!
Do you want to be Hot for the Holidays? Go to It's Almost Naptime and put a link to your blog under her Hot for the Holidays post and join the challenge. Then, leave a comment here for me so that I know you are playing along too! I'd love to have more people to support and be supported by. I will keep you posted on my progress.
I'm already feelin' hot, hot, hot!

Great to see you on board. Let's do this thing!!!
26 pounds? That's a toddler! Congrats!
Glad to have you on board!!
I could use some Weight Watchers right about now (it works for me, too). What I could use more is the willpower to stick to the plan. Seeing how great you looked on Saturday is a good incentive, tho!
You can do it Shannon! If you ever want a walking/workout buddy, I'm at the gym on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 4-6 and Friday mornings from 9:30-11:30.
I'd love to lose a few myself before the holidays--can't get rid of the gut no matter what I do! If you want to take some really fun and motivating classes, join me--I am there Tues, Weds, Thurs and Fri mornings, and sometimes Saturdays...
