Today I went back to Weight Watchers - not my intended meeting because I got a slow start to my day, but a later one with a leader I really enjoyed.

It was lovely and funny and informative and I can't say enough good things about this particular location. I think because it's a rather hip alternative to the traditional WW meetings you think of. Also? They so do not take themselves seriously. I was reminded why these weekly meetings can help. It didn't hurt that there was a woman there who made goal Thursday.

I weighed in at 153.2. Honestly? How can I complain about that? I remind myself that at my wlowest recorded weight I was 142 so I'm only about 10 pounds off from that. My new 10% goal has me at my lowest weight ever.

So color me confused as to how it came to be that when I signed up online with a new account - I wanted to start fresh as my old WW eTools account had my start weight at 177 pounds from way back in 2002 - that it set my final goal for me. Wanna know the number?

108.9 pounds.

I'm not even going to go into how ludicrous of a number that is because for any of you who have been reading me long enough, you'll know how much I refuse to work at losing that much weight. I'd have to give up pretty much all that I hold dear in order for it to happen and really, fuck that noise.

That kind of skinny isn't worth it to me.

So for now we'll work at an end goal of 131 pounds. That's the recommended weight and it's only 22 pounds to lose. I've lost more than that before, right? And this is a fresh start so it doesn't matter if I started this whole weight loss thing at 177 pounds, right?

Right.
