After my miscarriage in Nov 2009 I was about 203 lbs. I didn't feel like dieting and I ate a lot when I went to Argentina. I came back with 10 more lbs and I didn't care about losing weight during the winter. Once I realized I couldn't tie my shoes coz I was so fat I decided to do something.
Gary & I bought the P90X workout which was really great! However, the diet wasn't that good for me. I just can't eat same meals over and over and over and over.... I bought the 'You on a diet' book again (I lent it to one of my friends who never gave it back). After 2 weeks of doing it and going down to 200lbs I decided to join Weight Watchers again. I've done that in 2009 until I got pregnant.
I joined the online program and I'm allowed to eat 31 points. I make the menu one week in advance so that we know what we have to eat every day. I write the points each 'main' meal has and I add 8 point which is usually my breakfast + an afternoon snack. If I eat more, then I add to that- I try to stay in the 31 points though.
I cook every Sunday/Monday. I cook the full recipe and I separate everything in servings. That way I always have food ready. My freezer looks like this until we run out of food and I need to cook again.
This is how our refrigerator looks at the moment, with some things we can't live without: milk, olives, eggs, celery, lettuce, humus, chicken and carrots :)
Finally, this is my weight chart. I've lost about 8.6lbs since joinging WW again in August last year. I'm going VERY SLOW- but I'm happy coz I eat. I don't deprive myself of pasta or pizza. I have tons of recipes from WW and I'm very happy with them. We do eat very tasty food, and we're very happy with the recipes.
I hate dieting. That's the truth. I love eating- as simple as that. However, I know I can't weight 200lbs coz that's not good for me. My goal is 190lbs at the moment. I'll reach it soon... and I know I have to thank Gary and everybody who supports me in this race. It's def not easy- doable, but not easy.
