So I've been a weight watcher for about 3 1/2 years.....I got to my goal weight within 10 months and have maintained that weight (give or take a couple of pounds) for almost 2 years. When I set that goal weight I wanted to ensure that it was sustainable. Like many people I had done WW before and had limited success and therefore had limited confidence in my ability to succeed. The second reason was that I will be 60 in April so when I set my goal I was 58 and I was concerned too much weight loss would make me look ill. Well things have changed since then and I have very positive expectations of myself now.....I got to goal and I maintained. Late last year I set myself another, second goal and got there .... maintaining that even over the Christmas period (a 1 pound gain is acceptable I think!!) As far as the weight loss not affecting the way I look.....I trust my family and friends to tell me if they think I am doing too much so if and when that happens I will review where I am and make my judgement.
So......I have now decided to set myself a third goal....I'm going to try and lose another 8 pounds....I don't have a time frame for this but a steady loss of 1 pound a week would be nice.....if more comes off then thats ok too....the quicker I get there the quicker I can start to maintain....then I'll try and maintain that weight .....think that might be enough for me then. I'll be 60 in April and am currently the slimmest my husband has ever known me.....I feel great and my husband tells me every day that I look great (I know he's biased but its still nice to hear!!) my WW journey has become my WW life.....so the picture at the top is the the 8 pounds represented by 1 pound post it notes posted on the inside of my wardrobe door.....I'm going to remove the equivalent amount of weight loss from the door each time I get weighed and if I gain I'll add the equivalent.........
........and this picture is me from last week in the Canaries......I'll post another picture if and when I get to my new goal weight .....as well as regular updates about my progress.....and if I decide to stop I'll update you as well.
I get weighed on a Thursday so will update on those days......stay tuned and wish me luck......
Lets stay strong guys

You look great Sue! Well done, great to keep reviewing things sensibly. Just out of interest, what is your BMI now, what was it when you started WW, and what will it be when you achieve your current goal (as I am sure you will!).
