My Weight Watchers Success.....so far

My Weight Watchers Journey (this time around) began on January 9, 2008.

I tipped the scale at a horrid 247 pounds, and 5 months later I'm at 194.

Weight Watchers has two plans.....FLEX and CORE. I do FLEX, so that's what I'll be blogging about.

Here's how it works. Every day I am allowed a certain number of points. Your Daily Points Allowance is determined by your height, weight, sex (M or F, not a "yes, of course" answer LOL), age and activity level.

Every food has a POINTS® value. You can purchase a POINTS® Calculator at Weight Watchers Center. I have one that fits into my purse....I carry it everywhere. As long as you know the Calories, Fat, & Fiber, you can figure out the POINTS®. Plan your meals and snacks, stay within your points, and follow the other WW rules (drink water, exercise, use healthy oils, eat your required dairy, veggies & fruits) and you will be a success.

Oh....and a BONUS 35 points a week for extras. I try not to use too many of these unless there's a party to attend.

Let me start by saying I have been following this program intensely since I started. There have been only a few occasions where I lost my mind and conveniently forgot I was a Weight Watcher. I keep track of my foods daily and exercise at least 5 days a week.

It's been a lot of work, but I'm worth it !!
