Ready or Not.....

Here I am! I hate getting my picture made now...yuk!


I am all signed up at weight watchers and here is my weight....
(the lady thought I was nuts when I ask her to take this picture)

I got all my stuff!
According to the little chart a person of 5'2" should weigh no more than 137 and no less than 109....so I am going for 130.

I think one of the most important things you need to do is keep a journal....If you BITE it WRITE it! It really makes you think before you stick something in your mouth.


I am gonna do this ....I am gonna loose 31.4 pounds(at least)! And I am gonna shape up!
Thank you to everyone who is offering there support...and to you girls that ready to loose it....WE CAN DO THIS!!!
Tomorrow...I will show you some stuff I have been working on.....AND a GIVEAWAY!!!!

    Hi Beth,
    Just wanted to say good luck! I think you look great though! I also wanted to tell you I loved you choice of music on your blog. Usually I turn the music down but I turned yours up. Great choice.
    Good Luck!

    You can do it! I did~ I used to weigh close to 200 pounds (no lie) I took the weight off and have had it off for 20 years!
    I know you are going to do it because you are serious enough to post about it. Like I said before, Weight Watchers is a great program, it allows you to have "goodies" and eat healthy too.
    We are here for you!
    Robin~♥

    Hi Beth,
    I so agree with you..If you bite it, write it down. I now have my food journey on my computer...plus a place to write down what exercising I do, my weight and how much water I drink each day. It really helps me stay on track.
    Wishing you all the best as you reach for your goal.

    Yipppeee Beth! I'm with ya girl! Cept...I'm doing it on my own - not WW. First time in my life that I've gained weight, and I hate it. I have 20 lbs. to lose and I started working on it last week.
    Now if I can keep the cookies and cokes out of the house...I'm good to go.
    We can do it, and I'm so happy others are here for support.

    I'm doing weight watchers too. I was a lifetime member many years ago but fell off the wagon after having 5 kids. I'm not ready to take my picture but it would be really bad. I have about 60lbs to lose and am 4'10" so the weight really shows up. At this point I'm not attending meetings - I'm using the old point system books I have. But if that doesn't work then I will start paying the monthly fees. Good luck

    Beth, Thank you so much for visiting my blog! Yours is fabulous and I love all of the prim goodies in your shop. I saw a Gameboards sign and I love it! :) Good luck with the Weight Watchers! I think you look great already! It is the only plan I do, I have had 5 kids and it worked after each and every one! Take care. ~Sarah~

    Yes, you look great in your jeans already! You'll be amazing!
    I had my 'Fitness for Life' kids try the Pyramid Tracker on
    www.mypyramid.gov
    They entered what they had eaten for the day and it calculates all their fat, calories, nutrients, etc. They were pretty surprised at some of their results. Have a good weekend. Natalie

    Congrats on taking the steps to lose weight. I really need to do the same, but can't seem to get motivated. Maybe in a few weeks?
    I'm wishing you lots of luck!

    Have a great week!
