I began the Weight Watchers program in January of 2003 after I received some of the proofs from my wedding pictures. Granted that I loved my wedding and the pictures, but realized that I didn't want to be that girl headed towards being overweight and unhealthy.
So I joined the Weight Watchers online program. I have been an online member for this whole time and have joined meetings a few different times, but found that I don't get the motivation that others get from a group setting and didn't find a leader that was able to speak to me.
I started on the Winning Points plan and then when the plan changed to the Flex plan. I began my Weight Watchers program at 185 lbs. and easily was able to lose the first 20 lbs. or so. Then it became more difficult, but I battled my way through and little by little I got myself down to around 150 lbs. That's 35 lbs. gone!
BEFORE AFTER
My original goal that I set for myself was 140 lbs. For the last 2-3 years I've been stuck right around 150 lbs. One week I will gain a pound the next I will lose it etc. I continue this process and have only been under the 150's a couple times but never able to fall into the 140's like I would like.
I'm 5'7 in height and am 28. According to the BMI chart my current weight is a healthy one for my age and height, but just barely. I'm in a BMI of 24.
I have tried the Core plan the last couple weeks to try to get things going in a different way and have not seen the dramatic results other speak of in relation to this plan. I haven't found that this plan is dramatic enough on my system to lose more weight etc.
Although I've lost weight I constantly feel as though I'm failing because I can't get to the goal that I'm trying to achieve and although I feel great about the weight I've lost it doesn't seem like its enough.
Anyone have any advice on how to battle my way through this?
WOW!! CONGRATS!!! I am now down 20 pounds but have at least 40 to go, at the very minimum.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful blog comment on my Blast From the Past College Edition post! Meant a lot to me!
Will be emailing you on my advice and thoughts on raising children away from family.
