When I weighed in at Weight Watchers Wednesday morning I weighed exactly what I did last week. I was OK with that, as I knew I'd not stuck to program the entire time I was at Quilt Camp. I was just thankful I'd not gained anything.Today after I got my hair cut and colored I stopped by Dress Barn. I 
decided I was done with the jeans that were almost falling off my body. I still can't get into the skinny ones hanging in my closet so I needed a interim size pair. I am thrilled to report that I've gone from a size 18 women's to a size 14 misses. These make me feel so good when I look in the mirror. I have exactly 18 pounds to go to goal. When I started at the beginning of July I'd hoped to reach goal by the end of the year. I don't think that's possible now, but I'm happy with the progress I've made. I'll get to goal - it just might not be until spring. That's OK - lots of baby steps add up to a long, successful hike!

I couldn't stand to look at this picture then, and didn't figure I'd ever post it. But it's a good comparison with the one Fred took this evening of me in my new jeans. Hooray Weight Watchers! (In case you are wondering what my shirt says - the quilter in the picture is holding a read sign that says "Will Work for Fabric!"

You definately needed the new jeans, that is a lot of sizes you have gone down! You look great wearing those new jeans....and....before you know it, they'll be baggy too :)
Just had to add my congratulations, too. My daughter and I joined WW in April: she has lost 55# and I have lost 44#. We went shopping this past weekend and all my new pants are 12s: what fun.
Great job Patti! Those jeans look good on you. I've been walking but not really focusing what I've been eating so I'm still hanging here with just the 10lb loss but my pants fit so I'm happy for now.
Patti - even the look in your eyes in the "after" picture tells a story - way to go! Cheers!
