I have been doing Weight Watchers for a week and a half, and so far I really love it. I have heard people talk about 'points', and thought that it wouldn't work. But it makes alot of sense. It is easier to count 'points' than it is to count calories. I am not going to meetings, but doing the online version. My biggest roadblock is eating one thing I shouldn't, and then feeling like I screwed up my whole diet, so I may as well just eat what I want. That is my slippery slope. But with Weight Watchers, I am able to eat what I want without cheating. Nothing is really off the menu. It just takes more of my points. I have an extra 'weekly' points that I can use for a treat day, that I usually try to stay away from, but I know that it is there. It is alot easier to not eat that doughnut, when I know that I can. It makes little sense, but it works for me.
I am also going to the gym and working out with a trainer. She is kicking my ass! I am going 3 days a week, and after I am done, I can hardly walk. I don't really like it much. But hopefully it will whip my butt into shape. It is hard excersizing when I feel so fat. But I guess it is the only way to not be as fat.
About Me
- Jamie's Goal
- My goal is to get down to my pre-BrieOcea size, which is 135 lbs. I was nice and cute then...but I didn't realize it; of course I thought I was fat. I wanted to be thin like my sister Laurie. But now, I want it back, then I won't take it for granted again. That means that I would have to lose an astounding 79 lbs...oh my, I can't believe that I am admitting to the world that I am a whopping 214 lbs!
Hawaii
went up to 214 lbs!

Jamie, you are doing great. I can't wait to see you and your kiddos!!!
I am proud you for working out 3 times a week. that is the hardest part. f you get in habit of that... then you re set!
I find it hard to know where to start when I work out. JT asks me "what is an area on your body that you are most concerned about, and start there" So Everything is a concern to me... that is a hard first step!
I've always wondered what you do at weight watchers. Is it like "My name is Jamie and I'm and alcholic?" What's the purpose of meetings?
i read your coment about diet coke, and laughed. i feel the same about coffee. although i dont feel it hurts me, it only has 15 calories and i typicaly only drink 6oz per day. Also, no carbination.
hi jamie!! i was reading from blog to blog of all our fun cousins, and got to yours. it's so cool that you're doing this. i noticed last year that i was exhausted all the time, so i've gotten really into nutrition. i've read tons of books, and changed the way i eat entirely. i've lost weight, and feel amazing. now that i eat healthy i end up cooking for myself, and 'spoiling' myself so much more. i really recommend 'french women don't get fat', and '50 secrets of the world's longest living people'. they're both short and fun, and really help you rethink food. i keep clear containers stocked with brown rice, whole wheat pasta, and couscous; a supply of cans of different beans, chickpeas, and diced tomatoes. and every week i buy cooking greens, dark lettuce, veggies, and fruits. i have no excuse to eat out or eat junk, because i don't keep anything in the house. wow, i'm rambling, but anyway,you can do it!!
love you,

p.s. it's in the books, but quitting diet coke will make a dramatic difference, and also getting anything processed out of your diet. =)
