A stroke of the brush…
I don't eat quacamole, but my first thought this morning was "HOLY QUACAMOLE!!". This is week 6 weigh in day. Week 5 weigh in day was a bit of a disappointment, so I had lectured myself on the usual... 'Don't base your results on the scale alone! Base your results on how you feel, how your clothes fit, etc.'. Well...the scale and I are back on speaking terms again. This morning showed a result of 6 lbs. lost!! YEA!! Not only is that exceptional for one week, but it also means I'm past the 20 lb mark! Now, we serious dieters know that anyone can stay on a diet long enough to loose 5 or 10 pounds, but it's only those that are dedicated and serious about the challenge that go beyond that point. THAT'S US PEOPLE!! WE are doing it!! I've lost 20 pounds many times, but I've always gained it back eventually. This time FEELS different. I feel like I've only brushed the surface stroke of a beautiful portrait I'm painting. There are many layers to this wonderful piece of art and while you may not be able to tell what I intend to paint with one stroke of the brush.... it's the beginning of something wonderful!!
I'm glad I have you folks here to share it with. I'm glad each of you have opened up and shared struggles and victories... this week was a victory for me. I hope each of you find your victory this week. Let's paint a new picture of ourself for the world to see. Who's with me??

Great job!My first weigh in is Monday and I am nervous.And ya, you are right!The first 5 - 10 pounds are when people give up.I believe once we reach 20 it makes you want it even more.
NOTHING TASTE AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS.
Keep up the great work!
OH wow good job!! I hit my 20 mark on this AM’s weigh in, too!! We are really going along the same lines as far as loss, cause last week sucked for me but this one was good!! You are gonna keep me on my feet!
And I am finally settling into this WW business, too. =)
WAY TO GO GIRL! Look at you go!!! Keep up the AWESOME work!!!!
