It's official- I am free to start losin' it! And not my sanity as a sleep-deprived new mom, the weight!<br /><br />If I had the money I had after I gained my "sophomore 15" (more on that later) I would head off to WeightWatchers again. I loved their program and lost weight and kept it off for quite a while. I loved the support. I loved trying things on that fit and feeling healthy and free to eat because I knew my limits. But, 3 babies and 40 pounds later, 40 bucks a month for weight-loss is not an option. That's enough to buy newborn diapers for two months! <br /><br />So, I'm here online for support and accountability. Yes, every day I'm going to record my points using the original points program (more on why later) as well as record a weekly weigh in. This morning I weighed in at 173 lbs. My pre-baby weight after getting married was 133 lbs., giving me a 40 pound goal. But, I would love to be where I was ten years ago at 123 lbs. Of course, muscle weighs more than fat, so we will see what happens with working out, but one thing is certain- I could eat more vegetables and fruit and less junk! And that's what the points program is all about, balance and health. :)<br /><br />Today I recorded my points and stayed on track wonderfully, until about 12PM. Then I started guessing and not writing them down and I know that's always my downfall. If I'm not certain of how many points I've used I figure, why keep trying or low-ball the estimation. Either way I end up eating too much, like the egg and toast I had at 10:30 tonight...Ah, I need someone to report to besides myself!<br /><br />SO, join me if you like! I'm 5'5" and am supposed to eat 18-22 points a day for weight loss. I've done it before, and I WILL do it again...with YOUR support please!!! If you're wanting to lose weight and be healthier, I will be here for you too! Please check back daily and remember, one good choice leads to another!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6512033374687000431-5160610657183320005?l=mamaslosinit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mammaslosinithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593718037385774637noreply@blogger.com0
