First day of yet ANOTHER weight loss journey for me, though admittedly the first one in many years. I joined Weight Watchers on Friday, January 7th, 2011 and attended my first meeting along with both my mother and my adult daughter. Yay me, I have "buddy" support during this weight loss journey. Did that sound sarcastic? Well, much as I love the two of them, I'm still the fattest one of the three of us. Guess I'm just sort of jealous maybe? Not sure but I definitely hate being the fattest one of the group.
I started this weight loss journey because of one reason, I had no other choice. I could either lose weight or I could die. Yeah, sounds silly when I say it like that but it's true. I weigh 400 pounds at this point and I can barely stand or walk or do personal hygiene things. I'm diabetic and I take both pills and insulin to keep it mostly under control. Sometimes my blood pressure is a little high, not too bad, thank goodness, but I do take meds for it. I have high cholesterol and take meds for that every night. And worst of all, I almost NEVER feel good. And I have to say, that really sucks big time!
So, I have joined Weight Watchers and I am now counting, or rather, TRACKING, the foods I eat and their PointsPlus point value. Because of my weight, 401.6 pounds, I get 57 PointsPlus points each day. I am using the etools available on the Weight Watchers website which you can check out at Weight Watchers to help me out.
I started this blog to follow my weight loss journey because I am hoping it helps to keep me on track and maybe my experiences can help others to lose weight too.
