My weight loss journey

So, I have been on my weight loss journey since last August. I have been doing different things to lose the weight (because I get bored fast) but the constant is eating well & exercising. I have not done diets. I hate diets! They all work of course....but only for a short amount of time, then most people gain the weight back, so I am totally against diets! I am all about working out wether it be at the gym, a workout video or outdoor activities. Just as long as you're doing it consistently. Last Summer I was very good at going to the gym, then I got busy. So, I have been doing my turbofire workouts at home (which I absolutely love).
My parents joined weight watchers in January and they were both doing so great. So my sister in law and I decided that we were going to join and keep each other accountable. I am now on my 8th week and I have lost 7.4 lbs. I absolutely LOVE the program because I don't have to cut anything out, I just need to make healthier choices and every once in a while I can splurge on a dinner out with my hubs if I want. It truly does teach you how to change your eating lifestyle. I will definitely stay with the program and continue to go to the meetings because they are so motivating. I hope to be a leader one day.
So the result of my journey so far is.....I have lost 15 pounds since last August. Not bad huh? I would like to lose 15 more but I will be happy with 10 :)
