Monday mornings are my weigh in days, and on Weight Watchers you weigh in once a week. This morning I'm down 2lbs! Total lost so far: 22.5lbs. I'm only 2.5lbs away from reaching my 10% goal! There are
so many benefits from losing even 10% of your body weight if you're overweight, here they are:
- Increased energy level
- Lower your cholesterol levels
- Reduce your blood pressure
- Reduced aches and pains
- Improved mobility
- Improve your breathing
- Help you sleep better and wake more rested
- Prevention of angina, chest pain caused by decreased oxygen to the heart
- Decreases your risk of sudden death from heart disease or stroke
- Prevention of Type 2 diabetes
- Improved blood sugar levels
How amazing is that! I'm well on my way to experiencing those benefits, and I feel great. I need to decide on a reward for when I do reach that goal. This is the first time I will re-achieve losing 10% since initally losing all this weight back in 2004 (and subsequently gaining it all back in 2008). I've attempted to recommit to WW numerous times in the past two years but never stuck with it longer than 5 weeks. I'm now at week 10!
Onwards and downwards, as they say.
