Another Goal!!

OK Well here goes, I thought about this long and hard. Debbie and I have been dealing with weight issues for years. We would go to lunch every week and eat very well and heaven forbid lunch without desert oh yea. And boy was it good. When she started weight watchers a few years ago I thought ok lets do it. So I did , and it was great I lost 36 pounds, my husband 63 pounds. Great Right? Well then things changed, had some family issues. My son the Marine went off to war, and too many other stupid excuses and guess WHAT yep you guessed it! It all came back and then a few pounds more. WOW I am now staring at a scale that reads 198.8 OH MY GOSH what happened. I have played with the 190s for months. 198 one day and then 194 then 192 then 197 OMG. Well you know what, I am done playing, because this playing hurts. I have bad feet and have had five surgeries ( not because of the weight but it makes them hurt more now) My back is sore alot more and I am tired and you know I am going to have grandchildren someday and I want to be around to play with them and watch them grow up. This is one of the last things as parents that we want to be here for. So I need to take this seriosly and try to make this happen. My son is getting married in june of 2011 and I really would love to be 155-160. I am not going to be unreasonable and say 140 LOL even though that would be nice, but I want this goal to be very reachable. My short time goal is at least 1 1/2 a week. I have a hard time with working out because of my foot, and I am getting ready for one more surgery, but i think I can do the small goal. And I am going to try real hard. This is the one thing that I loved about weight watchers was being accountable to someone else besides my loving husband, who loves me anyway I am. So he says. LOL LOL LOL

So ladies I commend you on all your goals and hard work, and to Debbie who is reaching out (like she always does) to get the support she needs and to help us with ours. So ladies lets DO THIS. WATCH OUT BIGGEST LOSERS HERE WE COME. ITS THE DEBBIE BERGADE. Thank you Debbie, I will miss you and always remember the last sixteen years have been wonderful but the next are going to be better.

P.S. Thanks for almost making me cry at the gym while I was working out. I know not the place to be reading e-mails but at least I was at the gym right?? Ladies your all wonderful and I hope we keep this going!!
