I am seeing very similar trends by trying to stick with as many zero point foods. My respiratory rate, resting heart rate, and walking heart rate average are all dropping like rocks. I guess I should have assumed that would happen, but I’m still shocked. Awesome stuff!
Another week into my weight loss journey is in the books, and I am happy to report I made some nice progress this week. I am now down just over 11% from my starting weight and am making slow, safe, and steady progress towards my 25% goal. Almost halfway through!
Check in next week for another update.
After my annual wellness check in mid-July, I decided enough was enough, and I committed to losing about 25% of my weight.
Just over two months into this journey, I’m down over 9%. I’ve settled into new habits and am seeing some great trends in the Apple Health app.
I post this here so readers keep me honest and on this positive path. I’ll update regularly going forward.
I kind of expected this, but I managed to lose the holiday pounds I gained over the couple weeks I completely ignored the food I ate. I weighed in this morning at 178 pounds, and of course WeightWatchers yelled at me for losing more than 2 pounds. I’m hoping to get back to losing a more predictable 1 to 2 pounds per week now that the holidays are over.
Next Update: January 19, 2009
As expected, I gained a few pounds while enjoying the company of family and friends over the holidays. I weighed in at 182 pounds this morning so I have some work to do to get back to where I was two weeks ago. Time to track my Points.
Next update: January 12, 2009
Thanks to helping my wife, Donnell, eat through two pregnancies and an overall lack of control over my taste buds, I am back on WeightWatchers. Donnell and I used WeightWatchers before our wedding, and it worked incredibly well. It turns out if you actually pay attention to what you eat, you can lose weight. Crazy concept, huh?
Well, we’re back at it again. Donnell worked her butt off in 2008 and earned a cruise for two from lia sophia. We’re very excited about getting a week to ourselves and are very motivated to lose a few pounds.
To share in the fun, I have decided to update all of you every week on my progress. I have been at this for several weeks already so here is a little history. My first official weigh in was on November 7th at 190 pounds. I actually started watching what I was eating a week before that, and I weighted 193 pounds so I tend to think of that as my starting weight. My progress for the subsequent weeks was as follows:
I have to admit that I am very scared to look at the scale on Monday. We have been traveling since last Friday, and we pretty much went crazy with food. With the holidays and family and food like Portillo’s, how can anyone possibly not partake? Anyway, we’ll see where I’m at on Monday, and I’ll provide an update. My guess is that I gained several pounds, but I’ll wait until Monday to weigh in.
If you have any good WeightWatchers stories or opinions, please feel free to leave a comment. It should be interesting to see how things go by the end of March. Stay tuned.
