no progress really
So I am on Week 1 of the running program (which I haven’t started yet and it’s Thursday) and Week 2 of writing down everything I eat. I’m not really sure it’s helping that much, but I do feel guilty when I write down “cheeseburger” or “Peanut M&Ms”.
At least, I am recognizing that I have bad habits.
The problem is that I was once very skinny and in shape. And I could eat anything I wanted then, because I was playing tennis all the time and had a killer metabolism.
Now, I am so beyond where I even in a million years thought I would be.
Fridays are weigh-in days. Last Friday was the first one and I had lost 1 lb. I’m worried that tomorrow will be incredibly disappointing because I don’t feel like I have done anything substantial in my weight loss efforts.
All I’ve done this week is start listening to “The Secret” on my way to and from work and continue to write down what I am eating. I did receive a copy of a Weight Watchers book from a co-worker, but I don’t think I need to do the point system because I can’t figure it all out – especially with the cold cuts and various stuff I eat that are not on “the point list.”
Ugh.
Here’s my current over-zealous goal chart. I know I may be reaching a little high, but I’m hoping that my competitive side will kick in and force me to try to keep up with it.
I have date goals. June 9th is the golf tournament where I run into people I haven’t seen for a year.
July 26th is our summer vacation to P-Town.
If this chart becomes too far from reality, I will redo it. I also am hoping that not too many people out there are actually reading this blog, because I am putting my weight on it, and that’s incredibly embarrassing.

E and I started WW about a month ago - as in, we started going to the meetings. I had been doing the program online for a year (I lost the 20 lbs I gained in grad school plus about 15 at first, and then grew lax and gained 7 back.) anyways, our weight loss has sped up immensely. The program is kind of expensive, but I've got to say... I'm a believer in it. The full program is $40/month (includes meetings, weigh-ins, and online tools) and the online program is $16/month. (p.s. if you wanted help finding out the points system, I would be more than happy to pass on some info.)
I commend your willingness to put your info out there. Good for you, too, on wanting to make a change!
