Kathy over at Kitchen Logic got us all worked up to lose 10 pounds about a month ago. She even created the 10 pound blog for inspiration and made some of us bracelets to wear to remind us not to open our mouths so much! All of this encouragement and motivation and have I lost a single pound? NO. I actually gained one as of today. So because I really want this bad I joined Weight Watchers on-line. Being a geek doing things via a computer just seems to work for me, after all I have 4 blogs, and about 6 e-mail accounts, so it makes sense to lose weight electronically.
I thought I would also try and blog more often, so I don’t obsess over what I can or can’t eat. Which is why the post today. So I can obsess here, instead of in my head. I get 22 points each day, so far I have eaten oatmeal, a turkey sandwich (no mayo) and a cup of chicken noodle soup. 9 points total. Not sure what dinner will bring, but I have this knitting project I want to finish and you can’t knit and eat at the same time so I am hopeful.
Speaking of which here it is.
This is one of Candice’s Christmas gifts, I am thinking about making a matching hat.
Ooh, keep me posted on the online WW thingie! There’s been some in-person groups organized at my office over the years, but I dunno…
The members (at least, the ones I’ve worked alongside most closely) all get so freaking obsessive about their so-far-today points. And calculating their points. And exchanging low-point dessert recipes. And sharing point-related URLs. And… you get the idea.
(Heh, I typed “you get the point” at first and then realized the inadvertent pun)
Anyway. I’ve always been leery of WW because I need no encouragement to become obsessive. Over anything. And these people seemed to be able to focus on nothing else but Today’s Points.
But perhaps that’s not the program’s fault? Perhaps it was this particular set of office-mates?
I have done the WW online many times in the past. And it always works. Unfortunately, I suffered from WW online burnout and need to take a break. I do love their system and their website though. Way to go!
Good for you! I need to lose ten pounds desperately and can’t seem to lose one. I have no willpower.
Love the scarf!
Not only is that pretty, but the photo is stunning.
