Since June 2009 I've been going to Weight Watchers meetings (I am a lifetime member but can still attend meetings if I need motivation or have gained weight) without much success (I've only lost 2 lbs or so since then). This is the motivation I believe I needed and I've been really focussing on counting my points ~ even jotting down the "extras" and tracking them as my flex points.
I need your encouragement so if you have any words of wisdom, please share! I want to win!! (Although both of us will be winners if we've lost some weight).
I'm a points girl myself and I just use that slider. I don't have time to attend meetings...drama, I know!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by Theta Mom! Look forward to blogging with you!
I am trying to do Weight Watchers right now and I am just having trouble writing everything down. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeletePS - Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm following you now.
hmmm. weight watchers. I may have to try that.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I gained weight out of nowhere. I have PCOS and the weight gain was related to that...that's another story. Long story short, I joined LA Weight Loss (no longer around) and lost 30 lbs in 3 months. I basically just ate like a diabetic. I got a diabetic cookbook and, surprisingly, the food was fantastic! It was hard at first, I won't lie, but the results were INSTANT! I think I lost around 5 or 6 lbs the first week. There were weeks I only lost a pound or two, but then other weeks where the weight just melted off. I haven't gone back to my highest weight since...well, I did have a baby so that doesn't count, but I'm back down to my weight loss weight now. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHang in there. Baby steps. You CAN do it!
