Day/Week 1

Monday October 23, 2017 - Countdown to 65 = 43 days Today I embark on a journey 15 years in the making.  I am going to lose weight.   I started gaining weight in my 40's and before I knew it I was up to 250#.  That was 10 years ago.  I've lost 20 since then but have a long way to go. The doctor has given me a clean bill of health and I am getting tests done on pretty much everything to verify this.  So I joined Weight Watchers which was a surprise to me.  My Mom started with them when they were first around back in 1963.  It was "the thing to do".  All my life she went through varying stages of slim or hefty...never quite finding and maintaining a healthy weight.   My older sister was the same way.  I was lucky I was always just right...until I hit my 40's.  I was happy with my husband and he loved me just the way I was so it didn't really matter.  The more I gained the more unhappy I got and the happier he was....
