Weight Loss Success

I decided to start my own blog to write about my struggles and successes with trying to lose weight. I really want to lose weight this time, so I figure the more different places I put it out there, the more likely I am to stick with it and succeed. I won't put how much I weigh now, just put how much weight I am losing each week, or at least how much since the last time I wrote :) It has been hard already, I love food, especially chocolate and sweets. I have let myself just eat whatever I want for a meal or two and then get back on track, and I am still keeping the same weight at least, and sometimes if I keep with it the rest of the week I still lose some. I am doing weight watchers, which is the best way for me to lose weight. It always seems to take soooo long to lose the weight and no time at all to put it on. :(
I am going to include in this post a couple of sites that I LOVE while doing weight watchers, and until they get taken down I will continue to go to them and get help. The first one is a list of foods and their points value- within the serving size stated. It is basically the Complete Food companion, which you can buy from weight watchers. http://quiddity.cc/rachel/diet/wwfoods.htm And this next one is different links to resturants and the points with some of the food there, again with serving sizes. http://www.dwlz.com/restaurants.html And the last one I won't put on because it seems like the more people put a certain site for this, they all get taken down. But I will say, go to http://www.google.com/ and type in weight watchers points calculator and you should find one out there. This is very useful in finding the points on every day food you eat, well that comes in a package with a nutrition label that is. :)
If anyone else out there wants to start weight watchers, I will tell you one piece of advice, which is to write down everything you eat!! It is so hard to remember what you ate, how many points it was worth and the serving size. I put it into the microsoft excel program and it is so easy to keep up.
Last thing, I started this diet on April 6th and with my ups and downs, I have still lost 13 pounds- In about 5 weeks :) I just have to keep going and never give up.
