I finally joined weight watchers. I had tried by myself to do weight watchers before as I knew roughly how many points I'd get but I never stuck to it. One minute I was on the other minute I created excuses as to why I could cheat for the weekend etc!
There really is something about paying someone else a monthly fee to make you feel accountable, it's working so far, only on my 3rd week but lost 6lbs.
There were two reason I joined, one to finally wear the clothes in my closet and two because I don't want to develop diabetes, oh I just thought of a third reason...I'm tired of the Wii telling me I'm obese when I stand on it!!! Who makes those height weight standards any way? LOL
It's interesting how I put my clothes before my health as to reason as to why I want to loose weight! I guess that's the reality of it in my mind!
Off to read blogs, haven't read any in over two months....I miss reading the interesting lives of others.
yay for you!! i am well on my way to regaining the 18 pounds that i lost last year!! maybe i need ww too!!
ReplyDeleteWhen you read my posts you will see that I am on my third week of an exercise program. It is called "exercise". I am trying not to use the word "diet" because that is a plan I have failed over and over again. As of my second week (last Thursday) I had lost 6 lbs. Weight Watchers is also a good program and probably I lost more weight on WW than any other plan I was ever on. I will wish you the same thing I ask others to wish me and that is "I wish you willpower". Let's both show the world our OLD clothes:)
ReplyDeleteGood for you!! If you don't cheat and write down everything it does work. I promise. Then the trick is to not gain it back!
ReplyDeleteBut one thing at a time. You can do this!
Good for you Melanie!!! I joined WW 5 weeks ago and have lost 12lbs so far. Are you going to meetings or just doing it online?
ReplyDeleteThis blog has excellent WW (family friendly too) recipes and she gives all the point values. I've found some delicious things here:

ReplyDeleteoh I feel you on the diabetes. I am not overweight or needing to lose weight, but I am skeptical of the disease because it runs so rapid in my dad's side of the family. In fact I thought I had the symptoms back in '04 but it turned out I wasn't diabetic.
Good luck on the exercise program.
Good for you girl! I admire you for doing it the healthy way not drop weight due to crazy stress like I did!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 6 lbs!! :-)
Congrats on joining. I had joined early last year and was doing really good. I definitely know it works. :)
