I got a gold star today!

Okay, first some background. In case you didn't know, I've been trying to lose weight since I got engaged. I had really gained some weight in college, and I had gained more after the marathon (recovery is like that sometimes...), so I decided that now was time to lose it...again. I was heavier in high school, then lost 35 lbs. my senior year. Well, it is time to do it again, but this time with some help. I joined Weight Watchers at work on July 26. Today, I got another gold star for losing another 5 lbs, putting me at a total loss of 16.6 pounds in 7 weeks. Very awesome. It's especially awesome since my wedding dress is coming in as a size 8...(see my post below about that for more info...) Maybe if I lose enough before the wedding, I won't have to be afraid of the alterations that will have to be made to my dress. Also, I really want to look good in that Victoria's Secrets bikini on the honeymoon. And there's always the added incentive of being able to hold my own in another race...I'm thinking of starting slow with something easy, like the Big Tex 5K. Anyone interested?
