Anyone Losing Weight?

[Shada]

Funny you should ask!!!

Just today a co-worker and I agreed to go on a "let's see who can lose 20 lbs faster" diet. I have the newest Weight Watchers point system books. Last time I used that system the weight came off fast. Basically it teaches portian control.
Only diet that works.
But hard to stick to...

So... tonight at the store, bone-in ham's were on sale for 87 cents a pound. Had one in my cart... then put it back and replaced with boneless frozen chicken breasts!! My George will be cooking for me.. lol... as in George Foreman Grill.

For if I cook the ham, have to have mashed tators and gravy... something I really can't afford to enjoy right now!! Then ham and scalloped tators with letovers.. not a good idea... for I have no will power over that.. will eat till I burst...

Oh how I wish I could go back to the days when I could eat anything.

I'm so disappointed with myself........I had lost 5 pounds last year but gained it all back after the holidays were over. Bummer!!!!

I've been trying to watch a little better what I eat. When I order a hamburger I try to usually order a salad with it instead of fries. Little things make a difference.

My biggest problem right now is no energy!!! I just can't seem to get much done......let alone feel like exercising.

I gained 5lbs this school semester. My friend that takes me out to eat told me "Good my diet is working". So silly.

Gayle I have no motivation either. Maybe if I watch tv and see those perfect bodies I just might.

Lindsey, I wish I had hips.

I didn't know WW had a fast weight loss diet! This seems to be the trend right now. My diet, Medifast, is known for that, I saw another advertised on TV last night, and now WW.

The thing is, such a quick weight loss is not healthy. The tendency to gain back is huge!

I am doing it to become motivated though. Otherwise, it is just too hard! Maybe that's why they are so popular right now. Lots of baby boomers who are in their 60's, and are finding it difficult to get those pounds off.

Truthfully, if my weight was not mostly in my stomach, I wouldn't really care. I would just buy new clothes and get on with life!

I had gained a few pds myself over the winter. I am also a big fan of Dr. Oz so I try to eat healthy and I do cheat on the weekends though. I have started a zumba class and I love it! If you ladies are looking for a good workout whether you go to a class or buy the tape it is a great workout and you will have fun..

I've heard the Zumba classes are wonderful, they have them at our YMCA. I think I'd rather have the tapes/CD's though. I want to go to the classes, but I'm just way to big for me to be comfortable in front of others.

Buy them Janet! If you love latin salsa and dancing you will enjoy this!
