Lost 4 lbs on the first week!
I really found it remarkably simple. I don't feel or see any effect but I was happy to see the scale.
Starting Weight - 243.8 (grossly fat)
Week One Weight - 239.8 (grossly fat minus 4 lbs)
10% loss (WW 1st Goal) - 219.8 (24 lbs)
My Goal - 205 - I think 6'2" 205 lbs has a nice ring to it.
I certainly have no expectation to drop 4 lbs a week, but I am hopeful 2-2.5 is realistic.

July 24, 2007 - before there was www there was ww
Weight Watcher's that is!
Here's the deal. I don't see myself as big, not just 'fat' but tall as well. I was always the runt growing up. I don't think I hit a 100 lbs. and 5' 5" until my Junior year in High School. I know if you break out my Bar Mitzvah picture (13 years old) I am at least 2 inches shorter than my 5' tall mother!
So here I am 'trapped' in a 6'2" frame that is now holding a BLOATED 243.8 lbs according to the Weight Watcher's scale at the Monday Night Meetings I started last night.
Now, I did have a successful stint at WW back in 2002-2003, but then I had a GREAT support group. I took over an office who had 3 women who had lost a combined 120+ pounds! They dragged me to meetings, made sure I ordered good stuff at lunch, etc... Now I am on my own, though I have been drug into this by a buddy who has 5 other guys going (the cynic in me wants to know his cut :)).
I'm not totally out of shape. I can run 4-5 miles at a 9 and 1/2 minute pace. I just need to fix my eating issue, hence the WW.
A funny note on shape, a couple of years ago I told Cydney I was going to the gym to get in shape, she must have been 4 at the time, and she asked me "Daddy, what shape do you want to be?" I laughed for about a minute and said, "an upside down triangle", then she asked "what shape are you know"...I never answered, but I guess sort of ovally would have been good :)
I know there are lots of success stories out there, care to keep me motivated?
Tuesday posts will now include what I weigh...how's that for motivation?
