I had my second Weight Watchers weigh in this past Thursday evening and I lost another 4.4 pounds for a total of 11.4 pounds lost in two weeks. Woohoo!
Don’t hate me. These results are not typical as the weeks go by. I know from long dieting experience that I lose a lot of weight in the first month or so and then things settle down to a more common weight loss pattern. That’s when I usually start to lose steam and fall off the wagon.
I am hoping that going to Weight Watcher’s meetings and being accountable to the weekly weigh ins will help me to get past the 30 day block I generally run into.
It is pretty exciting though to see such a nice loss already. And I haven’t felt terribly deprived of good food this week either.
With the Flex Plan you can eat what you want so long as you count the point value according to the WW point calculator and you stop when you reach your daily points value. Then you get 35 weekly points to spend how you like. You can pepper it in through the week or use it for a big splurge.
I used my flex points to have a Super Bird turkey sandwich at Denny’s (12 points) along with a chicken finger (4 points), two cheese sticks (4 points) and four onion rings (4 points) plus some yummy honey mustard dip (3 points). All that fatty food and I still had a few flex points left over for some garlic mashed potatoes on another day.
It’s hard to believe I could ‘cheat’ with such a high calorie meal and still lose four pounds this week. That is what I like best about WW. So long as you plan ahead and not go hog wild, you can enjoy some of your old favorites.
