Week One Success

Well I went to my first meeting and official weigh in tonight. I started at 219.2 and I was 213.6 per their scale, for a grand total of 5.6 lb lost. I have also been checking my scale at home but I do that totally naked first thing the morning so of course I get a lower value. But the main thing is I LOST WEIGHT!. So our meeting tonight was about goal setting. They need to be reasonable and measurable and attainable for them to work. They also suggested we have a non-food reward for meeting the goal. So I went to the mall across the street before my meeting because I had time to burn and I found a gorgeous diamond two tone bracelet and diamond heart pendant from Gordan's. I have decided that they will be my non food rewards for loosing weight. My first goal is to get under 200 pounds by my husbands birthday, which is at the end of August. When I get under 200 pounds I get to have the bracelet. My second goal is to get under 175 pounds by my birthday at the end of October. When I do that I get the heart pedant. I gave my jewelry purchases to my husband to hide until I meet my goals and can have them back. I think my goals are reasonable. I have about 6-7 weeks to meet the first goal and then another 8 weeks after that to meet the second goal. So as long as I'm doing what I am supposed to, and hopefully keep losing like 5 pounds a week I will be fine. But it still gives me some fudge room. Pretty things on a new pretty me - Here I come!
