The Magic of 64

Hello,

 

Have been following Weight Watchers as mentioned before. I honestly cant put enough confidence in this diet. The fact that all fruit and veg (apart from a couple) are  zero points really makes it easy.  Also I'm impressed with the weekly allowance that you have which means that if you really need to eat out or have a bit more you have a lot of points available, it kinda takes the panic eating moments away and that feeling that "i ate too much already, might as well carry on".

The best thing is in this last 3 weeks I've lost 6 pounds!!! making it only 64 left to go.  I cant wait until I'm in the 50's. There's a few things that I feel is helping me. I hate to say it but I feel the initial increase in exercise is helping a great deal. I've walked to work a few times (roughly 7 miles there and back) been cycling to my other job (5 mile round trip) and going on the Wii fit for 40 mins when I have a day off.

I've also found it hard to stick to my points so I've been naughty and decided to only have a banana and watermelon for breakfast. It might sound insufficient (I love big breakfasts) but it definitely stave's of my hunger and I can save my points for later in the day.

I'm also eating something before a meal like I'll have a small bowl of yogurt with ground almonds and honey before lunch, watermelon or peaches before dinner. just to help bulk out the meal so you feel satisfied. I'm enjoying this diet a great deal and although when i calculate my calories its around 1900 a day I'm eating, the exercise takes some away too so the diet isn't so bad in those terms. I also think that a high fiber high protein diet makes your body work better and your health increases to which excess weight will be flushed out quicker.

All in all am very happy, I feel healthy. Eating lots of watermelon and taking care of myself. Keep imagining me slim and healthy and so glad I'm in a good place to do this.
