Sahweet (In a 0 PTS value sort of way...)

Wow! I am ecstatic from the amount of followers I've gotten just my posting stuff on the WW boards. I'm up to 11...whoo! Thanks for joining, you guys. I'm so happy that we can all inspire one another and help each other out during rough patches, too.

I realized that I forgot to post some info in my previous entry that might be important. I do WW online, no meetings for me. That's another reason why this support will be so beneficial. Any other online losers out there? I'd love to hear from ya. Also, at this point I get 21 PTs a day. I'm finding it sort of difficult, especially when the nighttime comes around. I am always drawn to the fridge around 8 PM. Something about a nice savory dinner makes me NEED sweet food. I've got to try to break that cycle. Luckily it didn't show up on the scale last week.

Another challenge for me has been drinking my water. My BF and I just moved to a new apartment in a new city and the drinking water is just gross. I've tried adding lemons, but it only amplifies the nastiness. So, Crystal Light has been my crutch. While it's probably not as good as drinking pure H20, I figure it's also better than drinking other things that are way worse for me (i.e. DIET PEPSI, my vice...mmmm).

...and don't even get me started on exercise. That's for another post, surely.

Here We Go...

Hello, fellow bloggers! Thank you for taking the time to look at my brand-spankin'-new blog! The purpose of this blog will be to cheer, vent, and discuss all aspects of my weight loss journey, and yours, too! Here's a little big about me.

-20 years old, from Peoria, Illinois
-Full time college student, studying to become an English teacher (like everyone else in IL)
-Weight Watchers member since April '10. This is important, because I will talk about lots of food in terms of POINTS, WW's way of measuring food.
-Highest weight: 166 lb.
-Current weight (as of this morning): 148.8 lb. I'm 5' 4".
-Goal...130ish?

Guys, I've created this blog because I NEED it...as I sit here eating, avoiding the studying I have to do for my Spanish final tomorrow, and wondering when the last time I exercised was. I NEED something, someone to be accountable to. I start at a new school in a few weeks, and that change makes me very nervous.

Please, add me, and I will reciprocate. I LOVE to read weight loss/fitness blogs. You guys inspire me so much and remind me that this is truly a lifestyle choice. We all have a lot to be proud of, and I don't want to quit because I didn't have the support I need.

I can tell this is going to be the start of something great.
