Hello – so last Friday was my last Weight Watchers weigh-in here at work. I have decided to stop attending the meetings but HAVE renewed my e-Tools membership and will continue to track points.

So why stop the meetings when that is the whole mantra of how Weight Watchers works? Well, to be honest, I was getting nothing out of the meetings and I blame that on my persoanlity. I am very pragmatic & logical and I wanted to be given tips and advice, I didn’t want to spend hearing the same thing over & over, listeing to the emotional obstacles people were having. In short, the meeting leader never brought us anything new to discuss and she never gave me any useful tools to help me on my weight loss. I actually discovered them on my own through various e-newsletters I subscribe to (inlcuding the really helpful Weight Watchers e-newsletter). So why waste a perfectly good hour every Friday?

Now I won’t drop eTools. I do credit them with my success (not the meetings) so I will gladly fork over the money to keep that going.

So where did I stand at the end of the work program? I didn’t hit my 10% goal – I missed it by less than 2 lbs – but that’s OK. My final weigh-in was 165.2 lb. for a total of 16.6 lbs loss! Yay me!!

I will continue a weekly weigh-in every Friday using my home-scale…
