I hit the 30 pound weight loss mark!

I have been following the Weight Watcher Point program since Labor Day of 2006. I have now lost 30.3 pounds and am hoping to lose another 10-12 pounds before the year mark. I am approaching a normal BMI. I started off obese and am now in the overweight category.
I think the key to losing weight for me are these things.:
  • Exercise (I work out at the gym and am doing water walking and water aerobics in the summer)
  • Not depriving myself of the foods I love
  • Keeping a food journal
  • Taking a "break" every 8 weeks or so from point counting
  • Talking to friends who are losing weight too...you need the support system.

Anyhoo - I am so excited and can't wait to get to the normal range!
