I've lost 10 pounds since starting WW and I am feeling really good. I have been doing the elliptical machine for 20 min at a time. So not much, but I need to work my way up. And I did sit-ups for the first time in maybe 5 years last night. I am really determined to turn things around.
And if anyone needs a good workout movie, I have to suggest Black Swan. The music is great and watching super skinny gorgeous girls got me motivated to keep treading away. :)

In a week? WOW. That is amazing! Particularly as you didn't need to lose in the first place!

Well I did first weigh myself right after getting home from a trip where much food and alcohol was consumed, so I imagine I was pretty bloated and at my worst. But I swear that the scale was 10 pounds lighter this morning than it was a week and a half ago!

I know you mentioned that you think I don't really *need* to lose weight, but I could say the same thing about you!
The thing is I am tall and can really carry extra weight fairly well. But I seriously could lose 20 more pounds after this first 10 and not look super skinny. ( I weighed 175 when I got back from my trip and 173 when I saw you to give you an idea.)
My guess is that you know exactly what I am talking about.
I have completely let myself go this past year and now I am ready to turn it around baby!
