Weighed in at Weight Watchers a couple of days ago. The total lost since Nov 13 (38 weeks ago) is 80.4 lbs. I am only 8/10 lb from my goal and plan to be there next Tuesday at weigh-in. After keeping it at, or below, my goal weight, I'll be a life member and will be able to attend the meetings for free. That assumes I don't gain more than 2 lbs from my goal weight. I have every intention of keeping this off and will continue to attend the meetings. There is something about knowing I have to step on those scales each week that helps keep me on track.

Good for you Seeing pictures of you before and knowing you now, it's quite an improvement. I am sure that you feel much better, have more energy, and can find your belt buckle again.
Quite an accomplishment...George

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Heard from a client..."If I had your tools and experience...I could do it myself"

Awesome! And you know the rule - for every pound you've lost, you get to buy 10 pounds tool! Great accomplishment Stuart, not easy.
