Things aren't going "fast". And I am totally ok with it. Took me many years to get this fat, so it's quite alright for my body to take its time losing it all. I am down almost 18 pounds since I was at my highest weight in June. I didn't really start trying to lose weight until July 7. So I don't think I am going to terribly bad. I have stuck to my Weight Watcher's Smart Point's program for the most part. Went totally off on vacation last month, and Jessie and I spent this past weekend traveling to California and back for a quick visit. TOTALLY didn't count points, but just tried to make healthier choices - other than the soda I did drink at the Airport on Friday, and at Foster's Freeze on Saturday. But I got my steps in, running around at an airport is definitely good exercise. And then walking at the Santa Monica pier with our friends helped get them in also. I expected to have a gain when I got home, or maybe, hopefully, stay the same.
