The new total is .........

125 pounds lost. Wow, it's been quite a while since I updated my blog. Last time I wrote about my daughter's journey. She is still doing very well but her losses have slowed down now that she is very close to goal.



Now that I have reached 125 I thought I would write again. The last 25 came off a lot slower than the first 100 but it has still been steady. I have been fortunate that I have not hit a plateau.



Last Christmas I wore a size 30-32 or 5X at Penningtons. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Vera Wang dress to wear at this year's Christmas party in a size 16. I have never had a designer dress before. They didn't make them in my size. I make sure I reward myself every time I reach a new goal. That dress is my reward for losing 125.



Quite a few people have been asking me lately how I do it. How I stay on the program all the time. All I can say is that I really want to lose the weight. That's what keeps me going. I don't cut corners. I don't tell myself " It's only one, it won't hurt". I stay on the Weight Watchers program every meal of every day. I have been doing this for 320 days and I know that the only way for me to reach my goal is to do it again tomorrow, the next day and the one after that until I reach my goal. And then I will keep doing it for the rest of my life to keep it off.



I again want to thank my family, co-workers, WW and the friends I've met on the 100+ and 200+ boards for their support. I can not do this without it.
