Down 4 Pounds

After two weeks of Weight Watchers, I’m down 4.2 lbs!

Next week I should receive accolades for having lost 5 lbs - if I do lose at least .8 lbs. I believe that is doable, but I am going out to dinner tonight and I may be going to a birthday party on Sunday, so we’ll see how much I lose.

I stayed for the meeting again, last night. I sat alone, but that gave me the opportunity to play Spider Solitaire on my Blackberry. My addiction has now spread to my cell phone. Technology is great!

I was still able to listen to the speaker - which was the point for me joining. The topic last night was how to survive going out to eat. This includes estimating portion size, asking the waiter/waitress to have the food prepared for a special diet, and knowing which foods are under the “SetPoints” - meaning you don’t have to worry about portion control.

It was all good, but I didn’t win any games!

Congratulations! That is great. I have tried WW twice, but my results weren’t that great. Of course, I didn’t stay the course for longer than 2 weeks. For some reason I was so hungry all the time.

Great Job! I am also trying to lose weight, I have been trying Medifast, but have been having trouble sticking to the plan. So much has to do with mentality and emotions for me.

Congrats! I believe in the point system for dieting. I have never been to a WW meeting but I have followed the point system on my own with success. I tried an experiment for the last two weeks where I ate only Smart Ones, Lean Cuisines and Healthy Choice frozen dinners for lunch and dinner. For breakfast I ate a bowl of oatmeal. I lost 8 pounds during the two weeks.

Good luck with your journey.

I’d hate to have to look at a menu and estimate all the “statistical” information about the food I’m going to eat, along with price and what it’s going to taste like. Good luck!

I don’t know what it is about your site, but I find myself coming back to it all the time! The information is so helpful for everyone looking to get healthier and even lose some weight. I must say you really nail all your points and can see you have a lot of knowledge in this area. Hope you can check out my blog at every-other-day-diet.org

That’s great. How many more pounds do you want to lose? Can you imagine that those stupid Japanese women think that BMI of 19 is fat? I feel like hitting them on their heads to make them wake up

Pearl Rombis, on March 10th, 2010 at 4:28 pm Said:

Hey there, an inspiring article to say the least. I am down 55 pounds, tried weight watchers, all sorts of diets, you name it.

Biggest thing I found that helped me was my will. When all else fails, that must remain - regardless of what is going on around you.

I wish you continued success, and strong will power .

Best regards,
Pearl Rombis

Thanks Pearl - I find that I’m either eating a healthful diet or not. I’m an all-or-nothing kind of girl - which is a serious problem. I believe that I have never really embraced the “healthy lifestyle” but I still see myself as being on a “diet”. This is probably why I don’t have much success.
