Welcome Friends!
I have created this blog in the hopes of staying motivated to achieve my weight riddance goal and to hopefully motivate someone else into joining me and ridding themselves of the weight as well :0) Feel free to comment and post successes as well as setbacks. We learn from both! Good luck to all of you!
I decided to join weight watchers on the recommendation of a friend who joined a week before me. I joined on April 13, 2010 and I feel it has been the best decision I have made to help myself to date!
I am 3 weeks in to the lifestyle change so far and I am very satisfied with the results thus far! I have gotten rid of 4.4 pounds in 2 weeks and I feel so much better!
After lunch, I am no longer lethargic and yearning to take a nap. I am no longer bloated and feeling disgusted and guilty with my choice of food! I am actually full and satisfied immediately after lunch and this is different and welcome :)
I have to learn to better choose my meals and ration my points so that I am snacking on filling foods that are nutritious (broccoli, carrots, fruits) so that I am not hungry in between the main meals. I am learning this daily and I think one way of doing this is to choose filling dishes such as proteins and high fiber meals. Soups (although high in sodium unless you choose the low sodium ones or make your own) are filling foods and can even be eaten as a snack (single servings) to hold you between lunch and dinner.
This journey has cost me about $100-$120 a week in grocery's but so far its worth it since i feel great and i am losing weight! Its cheaper to go for the junk food that is packaged in bulk but isn't this what got us fat to begin with?!
Making the right choice is not always easy or wallet friendly but the feeling and results of the right choices make them a better investment in the long run!
-- Just a note to keep others motivated --
Dont ever say "I LOST WEIGHT" try and refer to it as "GETTING RID OF"
When we lose something ... we usually hope to find it again and we even look for it. When we get rid of something it is done by CHOICE and we do not go back to look for it. We got rid of it!
Losing weight should be looked on as getting rid of weight since we dont want to gain it back! We want to keep it off and maintain the healthy ways we are used to!
I may not be able to update this daily but I will try until I reach my 50/100 pound goals to hopefully motivate you as well so you too can keep motivating me!
Good Luck friends and I wish you all the weight ridding successes :)
