I also think I am going back to the original Weight Watcher's program (and saving myself 18 bucks a month). Granted it will take a tad more work on my part, manually figuring points, knowing that some times I am off on them usually on the over rather than under side, and having to tally everything myself with out the help of my super duper WW App. But, on the other hand, it worked consistently for me, the new plan has been hit or miss, even when I know I have followed everything to the T. The losses have been great when they have happened, nice numbers usually around 2-3, but I would rather have consistent losses that are low, then huge numbers once a month. I never lost my mojo on the old plan, it worked for me and it's less expensive, a win win situation! Plus I could estimate points when I was eating out, which helped me avoid the dreaded OMG THAT WAS HOW MANY POINTS when I got home and was able to track it.
Or I could have hit the dreaded plateau, in which case, changing my eating will be good for me anyway.
I have made a new weight loss log in my Bento for Mac program (which is love love love), and hopefully, will be able to get back to where I was a few months ago, commitment wise. I feel like I am in that shaky place where if I fall the wrong way, I will end up with the 40+ lbs I have lost right back on me, and I have already given away all my clothes.....
Don't worry! It's the dreaded plateu that is heightened by the stress of law school, the stress of the symposium, and the stress of all your business crafting. It always helps to put on some of your old clothes and prance around the mirror, saying "look how much weight I've lost" I gotta go, this comment is tooooo long
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. This past year I've lost 106lbs. I've been able to stop all my prescription drugs that I was taking due to various illnesses associated with obesity. I've found that when I reach a plateau that I need to change things up a bit. Instead of cardio, I switch to lifting only or vise versa.
ReplyDeleteYour weight can range between 3 to 5 lbs in one day based on water consumption and exercise. I know, it's really really hard to stay motivated when we're taught to watch the scales so intently. This week I've gained about 5lbs. I also however had to get a new bra, I went from a 44DD to 38B. Just because the scales say I gained it's obvious that I have become more fit and lean.
