My Weight loss journey

Rules for my successful weight loss journey -
Please DO NOT !
 Do not tell me I shouldn't eat  that , I'm aware of what I am doing
Do not try to teach me about weight loss exercise and nutrition - I go to weight watchers for that .
Do not ask me " how many points is that ? unless you are a fellow weight watchers person .
Remember I QUIT SMOKING !

Please DO !!!
Ask me if it's working for me ! It is !
Please do give me tips on what is low in fat
Please do respect my efforts .
This is a life style change for me as was quitting smoking . At times I am easily agitated as I am trying to adjust and eliminate things from my daily routine that is not good for me. It is a life long process and as time goes by it will become easier . I am not a weight loss fanatic and I will not push my beliefs or life style change on to you . I just simply want to be healthier .





  1. Weight loss --- down 2.5 lbs   !!!  June 11 - 2011 weigh in  ( that's 1 week ) I started on May 14th and did not get accurate weight and had it reset,  so I think I may have lost 5 lbs  in all .

These are my notes from today's WW meeting.
  1. Get rid of clothes as you go down in sizes. Keep a brown bag to store them in as you go down- Get rid of them !!!
  1. . You deserve to feel good in your clothes don't wear baggy clothes ,wear your size!!!
Struggling?
still gaining ,  Eating all your  points ?
Staying within your daily points ?
  Not seeing weight loss ?  Your Leader can track your points to see where the problem is( bring in copy of points tracker )
Keep tracking !
  There is a Simple  fill in technique book, can purchase at the meeting.
Challenges-  problem with portion control - balancing can be an issue.
Guilt and frustration for things you like -  Okay to have  -  use portion control
Works - track everything use the 3 month journal -  it's OK to Back track
Weigh in's - not a failure it's feed back!!
Pre tracking - good idea Not knowing points slows people down with weight loss .
Tracking - track everything - stay with  good Heath guidelines - water vitamin - oil - fruit veggies - Tracking  times Balance out points .
 Weighing and measuring makes a big difference.
Pasta !! Once a week - OK
No carbs every meal  , Make sure you write down protein - filling foods  Fruits, veggies
Keep a feelings --journal , track it. Moods - determine your points - track it - Exercise tracking - eat enough ! don't have to eat all exercise points.
Know how much your are earning for exercise -
eat only your earned points value .
Can you gain weight and track - yep! Track track track !!!!!! It works !! Write points on packages as you buy and store them in your cabinets
 Natures own - White wheat bread 1 point value!
Home needs to be a low fat zone!
Slowly convert family to healthy eating .
20 minutes of exercise at least daily .
Pre-track your meals - more Likely to stick with your points.
Precook - veggies for convenience . 
water water water !!!!
