mrsbarker's Journal, 29 May 08

Today is my first day on fatsecret.com...just browsing and checking it out. I have done Weight Watchers before and lost about 30 pounds or so...then my husband, who is in the Navy, came home and I gained almost all of it back. I am sure I could have gained way more but since Weight Watchers is absolutely a lifestyle change, it kind of helped me keep things in perspective.

Although they allow you the extra weekly points and let you earn activity points, I try and use them only on special occasions. My husband is gone again and losing two pounds a week is my goal. He is gone until November so my goal by then is to lose about fifty pounds or so...he will be shocked when he gets back! It will be hard, but I have gotten my routine of going to the gym started.

This is my first week back on the plan and finances kept me from going to the store to keep me from getting my fruits/veggies, so most of my points have just been unhealthy ones, but I tried to stay within them anyway because it really does make a difference. I messed up counting the points on a recipe that I had twice this week, and we are doing a dinner cruise on Friday which will kill me in points, but I will still stay within them...so with it being my first week back on the plan after months, I will probably still lose weight, but not be off to as great of a start as it would have been had I followed the good health guidlines like I am supposed to.
105.2 kg Lost so far: 5.9 kg.    Still to go: 30.4 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
Losing 8.3 kg a Week

My husband is deployed right now, so I am determined to shed the rest of my weight. I find it easier when he is gone. The hard part will be keeping it off when he get's back. This is a good site for inspiration. Many people struggling with the weight! Welcome and good luck!

That is something I should have done years ago when my own hubby was deployed... it's been much harder with him around! But you CAN do it and just think what a lovely surprise you'll be for him when he comes home in November. ;o) Just keep eating healthy... do some exercise and you'll soon see those pounds start dropping! I wish you every success though. :o)
