Before After

So....

I've been spending the last couple of days thinking about WHAT I want to
do as far as a weight loss program. I did Weight Watchers' flex program
a couple of years ago and did pretty well, but the thought of constantly
counting at this point doesn't turn me on at all. Weight Watchers has
another program called CORE that I think I'm going to try. It focuses
more on high quality food and you only "count" the foods that don't fit
into that category. It would still allow for SOME "fun" stuff, but the
vast majority of what I would eat would be healthy.



So that's what I think I'm going to do. The only problem with core is
that it's hard to do if you're traveling. I'm going out-of-town over
the weekend, so I think I'm going to go grocery shopping and stock the
house for success and start core on Sunday. I'm meeting a new personal
trainer tonight and I'm going to a spinning class tomorrow night. I've
only tried spinning once, and it was okay but not something I felt
inclined to try again. However, this is at a different facility and I'm
going with a friend, so I'm hoping it will be a lot more fun.



I'm taking the next couple of days off from work, so I can spend some
time clearing all of the problem food out of the house and looking at
recipes and planning out the next couple of weeks. I'm really excited
to get back on track! I hope everyone's having a wonderful week!

Welcome Back

Glad to see that you are back - sorry your time away wasn't all palm trees and margaritas.  But i am glad you are in the mindset to try this all again and be successful.

WW always worked for me, but the moment i stopped counting points or adding more normal food back in after the Core i gained all the weight back and then some.  What seems to be working for me this time around is just watching calories - i use EP to tell me how many i am eating and working off and i follow a "hypoglycemic" diet.  Really anyone can do it - it is the optimal way for your body to process food adn maintain your sugar levels so you are burning fat and building muscle and bone.  I can email you the information on the program if you would like.  It is easy and healthy and i have been able to stick to it without problem or hassle or getting pissed at the food i have to eat.

Good luck...stay strong and stick around!
