Well, as I thought, I gained when I weighed in this morning (2kgs)...but what makes it even worse, is that it takes me back up to MORE than what I weighed before I started WW! Not good at all. I expected to gain, but didn't think it would be THAT much. Well, I'm not giving up. Hopefully I have some good news to report next Saturday.....bye!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12933985-111726599502109757?l=thetortoise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetortoise.blogspot.com/feeds/111726599502109757/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12933985&amp;postID=111726599502109757' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12933985/posts/default/111726599502109757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12933985/posts/default/111726599502109757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetortoise.blogspot.com/2005/05/one-step-forward-two-steps-backgrrr.html' title='One step forward, two steps back...GRRR.'/><author><name>Country Girl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07470619005968708848</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12933985.post-111702452056388837</id><published>2005-05-25T22:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-05-25T05:35:20.566-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Away for a while....</title><content type='html'>Hello everyone....I hope you are all doing well.

I've read alot of other people's blogs, and I decided to start one of my own. At my heaviest weight, I was 130.8kg... with my WW goal being 66kg.  I started Weight Watchers a few weeks ago, and in that time I've lost 1.8kgs. I have figured my goal seems more attainable if I break it down into 5kg portions, with little rewards at the end of each one: CD, new lippy etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got home an hour ago from a 50 minute walk. I did the same walk yesterday, and although I came home hot and puffing like a mad thing, it felt soooo good!&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for taking the time to read this.....I'll post more as I go!
