After having Max, I rejoined Weight Watchers. By then, they had changed the system and the points values of all my favorite (and not favorite) foods. I got to eat much more than I ever had before because I was nursing and they had changed the rules to allow as many fruits as you wanted. It was pretty much the first time I had allowed myself to eat a banana in about 10 years (fruity beach cocktails not included - I have issues).
But the diet really didn't work after the first few months and I got stuck with those last fifteen pounds. In fact, they stuck with me until I got pregnant with Mo. I gained about 10 pounds less with this pregnancy and am stuck again at the same place - putting me 20 pounds above my pre-Max weight. Realistically, I am still looking to lose 15 pounds (or get pregnant - those two things are in direct opposition, I am aware.)
Anyway, this post may make no sense to anyone who has never done Weight Watchers BUT, I decided this new system is not working for me and that I needed to go back to the 2004 O.G. version. If it ain't broke...... I found a nerdy folder of old WW materials on ebay:
and I am rocking the slide scale to determine "points" values:

If nothing else, counting up points each day keeps my attention off bigger, life and death kinds of worries. I have challenged myself to a 30 day weight loss contest. I even did my Jillian Michaels 6 week six pack DVD yesterday and I am SORE today (for reals). Thing is - it's no fun competing against myself. So, I am putting it out there. Anyone want to join me in a 30 day weight loss challenge? We can have a buy in and winner (who loses the largest percentage) wins the pot?
I'm looking for distractions and I think this is a good one. Who is in? Anyone? Anyone? teddyabby at gmail dot com
