I'll start with a little about myself for anyone who chooses to read along.
I have always had issues with my weight. Well, since puberty anyhow. I lost about 35 lbs my senior year of HS. Kept it off through most of college. Lost a bunch of weight right before my wedding due to building our own home and being very active. Then, a few years later, the pregnancies came. I was pregnant 3 times before delivering my healthy DD. Then I had another miscarriage before my DS was born. I think the hormones from being pregnant 5 times in 8 years really contributed to messing up my metabolism. Anyhow, I did Jenny Craig to loose the weight gained with DD. Used Metabolife (yeah, I know!) to loose the weight I gained with DS. I did learn my lesson from Metabolife. It worked good for me for a while, but of course, the weight has crept back. I am now 39 yrs old and about 30 lbs over the weight I would like to be. I joined WW online on 12/16/03. My goal was to NOT gain any weight over the holidays, which I didn't. I buckled down and got serious on Jan 4, 2004. My weigh in day is Wednesdays. As of yesterday, I officially lost 4.5 lbs. Yeah! (and when I weighed in this am, I was down 5.5 lbs!!! I'm not gonna change my clippee for another day or two so that I'm sure that I officially earned it! )
So on my plan, I'm allowed 24 flex points per day. Yesterday I ate 22.5 points. I am trying this Wendie plan were you vary your intake by day, trying to fool my metabolism into burning high all the time. I faithfully record everything I eat and drink so that I can refer back if I choose to. It also really helps me stay OP because I feel like I'm accountable this way.
So yesterday was:
100 oz. water through out the day
Breakfast:
3 cups Black coffee
1 cup honey nut cheerios
Lunch:
3 strips chicken from Wendy's
1 side salad
Dinner:
1 cup cooked pasta
1/4 cup spag sauce
1/2 link Italian pork sausage
1 cup carrots
Snack:
1 stick string cheese
2 viactiv choc calcium supplements
