Today was another step in the right direction because I met my goals again. I went to the gym and got my 2.46 miles in. Another 60 minutes down. Today was cardio only, tomorrow is a circuit day. I stuck to my points even though I had lunch out with friends, and I got some sun!
Today my friend Ashley did something very touching for me. She made me a paperclip chain with 36 paper clips, one for each pound lost so far. WW users sometimes talk about them, and my meeting leader has mentioned them once, but no one has really talked in depth about them yet. I have one now and its very motivating to see the chain, and know that I get to add to it physically each week. Something tangible. I have 216 more pounds to go so its going to be HUGE. I'll wrap it around the Christmas tree or something eventually.

A paperclip chain! What a fun idea. I like the idea of a tangible thing to represent the progress.
I remember after losing the first 40 pounds, and feeling discouraged, that my hubby got out a suitcase and loaded it up with 40 pounds of books. Then he told me to lift it, and try to carry it around... Yikes!! I was no longer discouraged, LOL!

i love that paperclip chain idea. i might have to steal that or something like it :-D
you're doing so great - keep it up!
What a neat idea! Good job on sticking to your points even though you were out with friends. That is so tough. Keep it up!
Thanks guys. It really is a fun and great idea! I was looking at it last night with my husband and it is bigger than I felt like it would look if you know what I mean. It is uplifting to see it that way.
Thanks so much.
