Today was my official weigh-in at Weight Watchers (must officially weigh in once a month and be at less than 2 lbs above goal to get in free for the month).

I weighed in at 159 and that's a weight I haven't been at since 1972, my first try at Weight Watchers. I'm not a scale person but the scale made me kinda happy today!

Hope everyone is having a good day. I'll try to link in a photo taken of me today!

Well, thanks but luck or will power didn't have much to do with it. Just decided I liked Weight Watchers better than waking up with mouthfuls of stomach acid (have GERD and a hiatal hernia). The weight loss was kind of an unexpected thing because you see, this is my fourth try at Weight Watchers and that's not counting... hmmmm low carb, Stillman twice or three times, low calorie several times and more. I think any tool a person uses whether Weight Watchers, surgery or a combination thereof, is a lot of work but it's worth it. If I had known how good this would feel to have that weight off, I think I'da done it years ago. But who knows!

As a friend of mine says (a WLS surgeon, Dr Terry Simpson) "Success with weight loss surgery is 10 percent the surgery and 90 percent the patient"

Thanks for kind words!

Hi I didn't get a bathing suit yet. I honestly have no clue as to where to go! My old haunt, Lane's doesn't have one for me. It's been some 38 years since I've bought a "normal size" bathing suit... that's a lifetime for me... but I'm thinking about it anyway... I guess my make shift one aint going to work..

Thanks for kind words!
