I'm Firing Weight Watchers!

I started Weight Watchers back in January of 2012. I lost 23 lbs. between my start date and April. I then lost and gained the same two pounds over the next month or so and then pretty much gave up on WW for the summer. Two weeks ago I started back up only to find that most of the foods I ate were not available through WW eTools and I had to find out their nutritional values some other way. I ended up using MFP so often that I finally started keeping track in both places. A couple of days ago I started to think. Do I really need to continue to pay $43/month for a product that is fairly incomplete when I can pay $0/month for a fairly complete product? Seems like a no brainer. I do worry that I'll lose something from not attending meetings on a weekly basis, but since I've been leaning more toward MFP and less toward WW, I've realized that I do have a pretty decent support system here. As an added bonus, my hubby uses MFP! So, I've made the decision to formally fire WW and give MFP a fair try. Now, I will create weight loss goals for each month and if I meet them, I'll pay myself the $43/month and in a year, not only will I be more healthy and fit, I will have more money in my pocket to purchase new clothes (or a purse! LOL). Check back with me each month and I'll let you know where I am!!

Challenge #1 - September - This month I will lose an average of 1.5 lbs. per week and by the end of September I will be down 6 lbs. or more

Dusting this thing off and trying again!

I’m honestly not sure what the draw is to blogging for me. It definitely isn’t the “money” as I pretty much don’t have any followers (and if I do, I thank you!) and literally have ZERO sponsors but I think for me it is a form of journaling and that may be the draw. Last night as I was winding down from the day, I decided to give WW another try. I’d been paying for their services for awhile and when I “work the program” I have a lot of success. However, I’ve been avoiding the program for about an month and have had no success...go figure. My goal is to give WW one more month, follow it as best as I can, and reevaluate my situation then. I’m choosing to do the Purple Plan because I feel like that is the best one for me, at the moment. Right now I need more zero point options and this plan has the most. I preplanned breakfast and lunch, both zero points, which leaves me with 16 points for dinner. My goal is to only use 12 so that 4 will carry over giving me a little bumper for my upcoming...

WW...still and again!

Here we go...again. I've tried WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) over and over and over again. July 28, 2018 I committed to starting again and taking it seriously. By January 1, 2019, I was down 15 lbs. from July and 20 lbs. over all. I made it through the holidays but unfortunately, I didn't make it through the new year. My will came crashing down and the weight is slowly going back on. Well, I've decided to take to blogging again hoping to find my will and motivation and get back up again. Here I go!!!

Weight Loss Chart

So, I decided to create a chart of my weight loss. Not sure how often I will update it but it is nice to look at from time-to-time! I started my journey in January of 2012 and re-started in January of 2014. I originally lost about 20 lbs. and managed to keep 10 off over the course of two years so I should be pretty excited. I am, sort of. But I also wonder where I'd be today had I continued the journey. Really hoping I can keep it up this time around! Date Weight Change Total 1/22/2012 169.4 0.00 0.00 1/4/2014 159.2 -10.20 -10.20 1/11/2014 155.6 -3.60 -13.80 1/18/2014 155.2 -0.40 -14.20 1/25/2014 154.2 -1.00 -15.20 2/1/2014 153.8 -0.40 -15.60 2/8/2014 155.4 1.60 -14.00 2/15/2014 150.6 -4.80 -18.80 2/22/2014 149.6 -1.00 -19.80 3/1/2014 150.6 1.00 -18.80 3/8/2014 149.8 -0.80 -19.60 3/15/2014 148.8 -1.00 -20.60
