Do you see this large person with the sock? This is me. I was too embarrassed about how I look to post my picture on my blog. Something must be done!

I have been doing Weight Watchers on and off unsuccessfully because I never go and I never do the stuff. Only since I took this picture I have been galvanized into action. I have lost weight steadily since I rejoined WW in June of this year, but only started going regularly a month ago. I have lost weight every time even if only a little bit.

The red star is where I passed the 5 lb. mark.

I decided that I would buy the yarn for two sweaters from Rowan and get a ball of yearn each time I go to Weight Watchers and lose weight.

Lorelei

Rustic



Most of the yarn has come. I'm just waiting for the contrast colors for Rustic to come from English Yarns. I've lost weight four weeks in a row, so when the four balls come from English Yarns I'll keep those, and just park the main color at Weight Watchers with Anette. I bought some cute bags from KnitPicks to put the yarn in.

I'm assuming I'll lose weight again next week and be able to keep a ball of the solid color to start on. It may not get me past the ribbing, but I thought it would be smart to have the contrasts and work on something exciting.

By the time I get to the sleeves, which are solid, I may not be quite so enthusiastic, but the sweater will be in the home stretch and that might keep me moving. Plus I like the Lorelei sweater better, so I'm hoping that looking forward to starting it will keep me motivated as well.
