First Weight Watcher Weigh In, Before Pics and Measurements!

Tonight, I finally made it to a WW meeting.  I had had plans to go all week, but kept running into problems so I ended up going back to the class I used to go to!  There is a new leader taking the meeting now - she was really positive, upbeat and I instantly liked her.  The only snag is I don't really care for the meeting.  Don't get me wrong, the ladies and helpers in the class are really nice, but not very inspiring.  All everyone really seems to talk about is how "bad" they were during the week and how they had put on weight.  The leader at the end spoke to all the new members that had joined that night and basically said that this class was "hard work"!   I know that a lot of people have bad days, weeks, whatever, but to listen to that every time you go to a WW class is kind of crappy.  I want to go to a class to be inspired by other, to listen to successful losers tips and tricks and to overall feel upbeat about being there!  Anyway, I will go again next week, but I may have to find the other classes the leader runs and go there - apparently they are "very successful!".

Anyway, on to more pressing matters!  Ha ha...........this was my new start weight:

198 lbs.....

I almost fell off the scale.  Obviously this weight includes my clothes, and all the food and drink I have consumed in the day, but it's only a kick in the arse away from 200lbs!!  Not good!  It can only get better..........haven't I said that here somewhere before?!  

Today, I have stuck religiously to my Propoints, and I still have 5 daily PP's left for today and my 49 for the week.  My treat tonight, after I finish blogging, will be a Skinny Cow Caramel Shortcake Lolly for only 2pp's!!  What a lovely treat for so little propoints.  

Without further ado, here are my measurements........  I did a whole load of measurements, including neck, wrists etc, but I will just post the biggies.....lol

Weight:         198 lbs  (14stone 2 lbs)

Waist:           37 inch

Hips:            49 inch (HELL NOOOO!) moment on the lips, lifetime on the hips.....!

Chest:          42 inch

L Thigh:      27 inch (my waist used to be smaller than that 6 years ago!)

R Thigh:      27 inch

L Arm:        14 inch

R Arm:        14 inch

And here are a couple of photos I took on Monday before heading out for work.  I am embarrassed by these, but hopefully will be good to look at a few months down the line.

I hate my arms here...and double chin and everything

I thought I would post a couple of photos that were taken almost 6 years ago in the Happiest Place on Earth - I look at the photos now and think, "WOW!"  My arms were amazing!  I used to love working my upper body back then.  When I was doing Body for Life workouts, upper body days were my favorite!  I loved my back, shoulders and arms.  I hated working my lower body, because that is my obviously me weak area........ that being said, I now love full body workouts using kettlebells and medicine balls.  I'm hoping to get my ass back in the gym soon.  I really  need to sort out my sleep schedule and stop sleeping in and getting to work at 11am!  Because I can do flexi-hours, I find that I sleep later, and later, which means I end up having to work til 6pm, with no lunch break.  I really struggle with getting up in the morning when I know I don't have to.  I feel like I'm sleeping my life away!!  Anyway, enough of my rambling -

Florida 2005!  I got into trouble for just wearing my bikini top to WDW, so I had to throw this black racer  back top on!

Florida 2005!! And wearing pink shorts!!  You can't really see them here though....

Thanks again to you all for the warm welcome back comments in my last post.  You are all fantastico!
