My amazing WW group!

I have an amazing WW group! Everyone is so encouraging. I go to El Cajon on Friday mornings at 6:30am. I know, I know that's super early! But regardless we have a very large group that shows up. And every single one of them are awesome!

I walk in this morning and at least three people tell me I'm looking great. I weigh in and I have lost 0.2 pound. It's a loss, small, but a loss! I show my leader my t-shirt from my 5k and she tells me to show the group.  I go to sit down and before I do I get compliments from 4 other people! They are wondering how I do it! Which I thought it was funny because we are all doing the same thing, weight watchers. Then they say specifically what is working for me? I tell them the added activity helps a lot. As well as tracking no matter what. The meeting starts.

Marlene our leader (the best in the world btw) starts the group. This week we are talking about our tracking. She gets to the point of announcing the 5k that the "dynamic duo" did. (That's me and Vickie) she tells me to stand up and show them. And I stand up and show them my shirt from the Sea World 5k and announce I completed my first 5k! And everyone cheers. Before I can say anything else I get even more compliments and someone says "she's wasting away" (wasting away in a good way) and I get another couple "looking great". I feel awesome! I tell them all that I finished with my fastest pace ever and that I even ran some of it. I said "which isn't me, well not usually" and someone says "it's you now!" And it is!

I sit back down and Marlene gives both me and Vickie a 5K charm and I look over and Vickie has got the biggest proudest smile on her face and is looking at me. That feels amazing that I can make someone that inspires me so proud.

I feel amazing after every meeting I attend at weight watchers. But today I felt even better. The 0.2 loss didn't bother me being so low. I have so many other accomplishments and I have an amazing group that attend with me. I know I will succeed at this even if I never hit goal. Because I have so much encouragement in my group.
