Rejoin weight watchers6/1/2023 ![]() I have 17 PP remaining for dinner tonight, which leaves me with a LOT of options. Homemade turkey taco meat mixture (ground turkey, black beans, rotel, refried beans, and taco seasoning)- 7PP.I found my shot glass at Bed Bath and Beyond. This is a great way to measure out salad dressings and creamer, without having to get out your measuring spoons. ![]() I do have to share about this shot glass measuring cup. Those 49 points will come in handy on Thursday night, as Neal and I have a food tasting appointment with a caterer. This week, based on my body weight, I can eat 38 points plus a day and have a weekly 49 points plus allowance. Decide upon my next goal after losing 10% of my body weight.Lose 10% of my body weight - 22 pounds (207 - my lowest from 2007).Lose 5% of my body weight - 11 pounds (218.4).Look and feel great for Neal’s and my engagement photos.Continue to workout and train as I have been doing.Weigh-in every Tuesday night (Biggest Loser night, woop woop).Last night I weighed in at 229.4 pounds, my highest since losing weight back in 2007. I am going to be true to myself and am going to give it my all. I usually try to weight myself first thing in the morning with as little clothing on as possible but this time around I said “screw it”! I am going to weigh in at 6:45PM on Tuesday nights in whatever clothing I have on that day. ![]() Now, I don’t know about you but weighing myself at night is SCARY. Last night at 6:45PM I talked into my first Weight Watchers meeting. Returning to Weight Watchers is a VERY big decision for me and one that I did not take lightly. Having said this though, I know that the Weight Watchers philosophy is a great one and I believe in their program. When I lost the 50 pounds back in 2007, I did it on the Weight Watchers CORE plan and have had it in my head that “I never want to count points again”. The Weight Watchers program has changed over the past 5 years, making it easy for me to be cynical. I’ve tried, and I’ve been successful, but I have learned that I still have a long way to go and I LOVE accountability. I was happy at 207, I felt skinny, and even though “there is no way I can get down to 179 pounds! I wanted to be free of dieting and to just live a happy and healthy life on my own. Since losing the weight back in 2007, I wanted so badly to do it on my own. And I fear that I will quit, just as I have done in the past. ![]() This weekend I made the decision to join Weight Watchers ONE LAST TIME! It’s scary to say that because I know it’s going to be tough. I had gotten down to 207 by the summer of 2007 and have fluctuated between 207 and 220 since then. I have probably joined weight watchers 15 times (no joke) in my lifetime, but had the greatest success back in 2006-2007 when I lost 50 pounds. In the past, I have been extremely successful with Weight Watchers. In addition, Neal and I have been training for the 15K and are up to 8 mile long runs! I am just baffled by my weight gain, but I knew it was time to make a big decision. I struggled with binge eating back in August, but since then I’ve really done a good job of controlling my portions and sticking to my weekly plan. Since August I have gained 12.4 pounds, which is CRAZY to me. “Why is weight loss so tough?”, I thought to myself this past weekend.
