I Finally Get the Point



I surrender.

No more yo-yo fad dieting.




In my youth, I could diet away any 5-10 extra pounds within a week. I would always use unhealthy crazy diets ... mostly lack of eating!

I have been dieting and working out for a couple years now, yes YEARS, trying to shed some pounds. I am at the age where the size of my clothes or the numbers on the scale dosen't matter. It's now all about feeling comfortable in my skin. Ugh, dare I say I also think I should try to be a "healthy" eater because I am sure the over fifty thingys that start to happen are right around the corner for me.

Everyone I know that has had success in losing and keeping off weight, has done this by following the Weight Watchers diet. I am using the Flex Plan ... counting points assigned to food.

I started it this week and am now amongst the many that have this little book in my purse to look up food before I eat it so that I can tally the points.

Naw, I am not going to humiliate myself at this time by announcing how much I want to lose, but I am sure I will babble like a brook as I experience success.

I've been contemplating joining WW; I MUST lose AT LEAST 25 pounds, and have been hemming and hawing. Got a 2nd job, knowing that would keep me in check...no! I work late, get off work starving, and eat too much. It's not working out!

I'll look up the prices, and maybe join with you!

my daughter did weigh watchers a while back and she loved it but it was hard to keep track of points and crap all the time. But she said it worked....of course, she's a string bean, so how the hell would she know?

I've been on WW since last year, and while I've recently fell off the wagon, I have lost 25 pounds. I'm sure I've gained some back. I'm too chicken shit to get on the scale and look. But I can tell that I have gained, I can feel it in my clothes.
