dancerjodiI weighed in this morning at 131. Wow! That's a 5 lb loss since last week. My initial goal was a 10 lb loss (down to around 137), WW suggested a 10 % loss (133). I've surpassed them both.
The WW site tells me I've earned a gold star, and I should now maintain. It makes sense . . . the range for my height based on BMI is 130-150. Maintaining means I get a whopping 24 points a day (up from the 20 I've been at) plus the 35 flex points. If I continue with normal eating with a few splurges here and there, I'm sure I'll be fine.
This has been a really interesting experiment, and it has taught me just how much I was eating that I didn't need to eat (in terms of portion size), and where hidden calories can lie. I'm going to use the WW tools through the end of my 3 months since I've paid for them, but will cancel the membership so I don't get charged anymore. Its too bad that online members don't seem to get free support as the meeting folks do once meeting their goal and maintaining for a while, because the recipe lists and nutritional tools have been very cool to use. Yay!

Man, this is what several dance classes a week will get you. I need to be more active...
