Confessions of a Repeat Weight Watchers Attendee

2004-2014 are the years I have tried Weight Watchers a total of THREE TIMES! I am making a goal of no longer rejoining Weight Watchers, but STAYING on it and fulfilling all my weight loss goals.

Why have I done it? Well let me tell you why.

First Time: Because my family and society wanted me to.

Second Time: Because I wanted to and my family wanted me to.

Third Time: Because I want to do it, and ONLY for me.

It is funny how you mature in things, and when people say "I wish I would have done it when I was your age", it gets to be a little annoying. BUT coming from me and my three attempts - I wish I would have had the dedication and motivation I have now to no soda, Weight Watchers, and exercise - back in high school when I was still under 200 pounds.

Weight loss is the epic and never ending story to someone like me, I feel like we can all bond over the simplest of things.

Progress with Weight Watchers: As of last week, I am down 4.8 pounds - and I am on my third weigh in tomorrow!

Learning to portion out food and prep.


Progress with No Soda Challenge: Loving it, never crave soda anymore, and drink more water than any Crystal Light Packets - still in LOVE with Peach Green Tea - might go get one on lunch today.

Progress with Working Out: Love going to the gym, never thought I would love it so much. I love my fuelband and I love my gym, and even if I can only go 2 times a week - that is better than NOTHING!

It took some time to get in sync with all three factors, but I firmly believe that this will be a great success. I am sick of being the fat girl, the ugly and undesirable to guys girl. I am ready! I cannot wait to check in with a progress pick, I think I will take one once a month or once every two months to keep me motivated! So let me show you some photos of my weight loss improvement.

So let me start with this picture:

I always lose the weight in my face first. Top: Before no soda challenge and weight watchers. Bottom: 3 Weeks WW and 3+ months with no soda challenge.

Well until next time!

An Update on Keto (progress pics included)

Hey there! I am 8 weeks on Keto and everything is going really well! Here are some highlights for you: I am down 9 Pounds Clothes are getting looser Easier to bend  Easier to walk More Energy I am an official size 24 in these "jeggings" from Maurices I love.  Downsides: Certain pants still don't fit around my belly, this is to be expected because I am just starting to lose in my butt and legs.  Favorite Keto Snacks:  Cottage cheese and berries Sugar-Free Jello (the actual brand Jello, none of this snack pack business) Starbucks Keto Drink After much searching and trying, I found it!  Venti Coffee Frap - replace the milk with 1/2 water and 1/2 cream, add 2 shots of sugar-free vanilla syrup. Almonds I am not a "HARDCORE" kind of a keto gal, I don't make food with coconut flour; however, I do try to make a few things like Keto Cookie Dough (linked in my last post) and I also just try to make sure to have cheese and other p...

Nutrisystem Report - One Week Down

Image
As of March 31, 2017 - I have been on Nutrisystem. The first week was alright - I ate small meals and lots of vegetables. They provided me with the food, all I had to do was buy the veggies. I pooped a lot, lost some pounds and got some energy back. Some days were harder than others, but I got through it. I am on week two of Nutrisystem where I now get to do the actual plan - not the turbo boost week. What do I think of it? 1. You have to buy your own food in addition to the Nutrisystem plan. I find this kind of irritating. Granted I am not paying for the plan - my mom is gracious enough, but it is still annoying. 2. You really have to abide by their grocery lists, and I am still taking my little booklet on the how to around with me. These grocery lists are very much a life saver though. 3. Find a vegetable you like. That is going to save your life! 4. Track - cause that is how you stay on task. And go by the book! 5. The food is alright, I am finding what I like and dislike....
