A little over two months ago I started Weight Watchers.
I am honestly a little surprised that I have stuck with it as well as I have (that’s not meant to sound boastful, rather honest about my history of weak will power) but I think I just know in my head and heart that it is a sensible and efficient way to shed unwanted weight. I always kind of rolled my eyes when people professed to have made a “lifestyle change” because it just sounded so hokey. But that’s just what I’ve done. I’ve traded in my ranch dressing and grilled cheese sandwiches for fruit by the cupful and whole wheat cereals. I still cling to my Flex Points for dear life and without them I am certain I would have fallen off the wagon and never hopped on again. Oh, Flex Points, how I love thee; here is a Haiku just for you.
Thanks for letting me
Eat pizza on the weekend.
Without you I’d die.
I’ve lost about 11 pounds and would like to lose another 10. I now weigh what I did when I got married and I feel good. I am still in desperate need of some toning exercise but I think that once the heat of summer lets up I’ll be more motivated to get moving.
I really hope this post doesn’t sound like I’m bragging. Yes, I am happy with the success I’ve experienced thus far but I’ve still got a ways to go. I just know how motivating it was for me to hear about some fellow bloggers succeeding on Weight Watchers and I’ve received a few emails from readers saying that I’ve inspired them to start the program. I’m humbled to hear that I could be someone’s catalyst for their own Lifestyle Change (yeah, it still totally sounds hokey).

You look fantastic, Amanda! Good for you!
You look great! I can’t even imagine where those other 10 lbs are going to come off from.
Wow! You look awesome! Maybe I’ll have to give WW another try!?! (As I’m sitting here snacking on Jube Jubes!)
bragger ;)
It does sound hokey, but it definitely does work. Way to go!
You’ve actually inspired me to start, so no it doesn’t come off as boastful or braggy, but rather it helps us to see your progress. (It could be us! If we just PUT DOWN THE PIZZA ALREADY!)
And, wow, you look just incredible!
Yes, you’ve inspired me. But I have to keep nursing first … hurry up baby!
Woooooooo! You look awesome, Amanda! I’m so happy for you.
You look amazing, Amanda! I’ve tried that program, but fell off the wagon… any secrets???!!! :)
You were hot before the loss, and you’re hot now. I’m proud of you for being so diligent. Love you :)
umm, wow! way to go!
100% Yummy Mummy!
that’s awesome!
i have to ask: do you go to the meetings or did you joing WW online?
Woot woooooo….that is internet whistling! You look great and no you are not bragging. It is very inspiring as a mom clinging to 9 extra baby pounds and then 15 extra pounds after that…you are motivating me to stick with my food journaling which always works! You go on with your bad self.
you are so beautiful, and really, where do you find such adorable clothes? it all makes for a knock-out package.
You look amazing. And that skirt is SO cute! I clearly need to move to Canada.
You look awesome! Keep up the good work.
You have almost inspired me to do something about myself, almost : )
fantastic Amanda :) thanks for sharing – i’m sure it’s motivating to others too.
You look FAB! And you’re totally allowed to be proud of yourself and share your accomplishment! Keep up the great work :)
You look great! I hope maybe by reading your blog I can get motivated to do the same! Job Well Done.
I just told my husband yesterday that I’m addicted to high fat/ fast food. Even though I love veggies and fruit. I’m going to try!
You’re smokin’. Always have been, always will be.
You look marvelous!
Amanda you look beautiful! Way to go. I think I still have the “bread pounds” from CHBC :)…but it tasted so good.
You look amazing! So glad the weight part is going well for you, I always found those toning exercises to be the toughest to stick with. And it’s super great to hear that you’ve made a lifestyle change, not just a diet. We have a few friends here also do WW and they look awesome as well, it really seems to be a great program.
Way to go! You look great and you sound so happy! Keep it up!
You look FANTASTIC!
Another 10 pounds? Really? I think you look outstanding right now!
Good work!
You look hot as usual
You’re an inspiration.
Congratulations! It does not sound like you’re bragging at all.
Congrats. You look awesome. You probably already know this, if you have ever visited my blog (which I’m not sure if you ever have….) but anyway, I lost a total of 51 pounds on WW and have kept just about all of it off for about 1 1/2years now. So, you go girl!!! I am proud of you and you look great.
