Weight Watchers

Well, I'm going to try to get with it & lose some weight! I always seem to stray away & can't stick with it, but hopefully this time will be different. I recently joined a group of New & Expecting moms in Las Vegas on meetup.com & they JUST started a Weight Watchers meeting this week. It was like a sign from God that I just found this group & they were starting a Weight Watchers meeting. The 2 girls I met were so nice & I can't wait to meet up with them & other new mommy's again soon. We are going to meet every Wednesday night for meetings & weigh-ins. I've done the program in the past & I think the other 2 girls have too. We are not paying to do it, we have our books & are going to try & stick to what we know. I'm excited & I think it will help motivate me that Sarah & Kelly are doing it with me!

I found an awesome app on my phone. I had to take pictures of it to show you. I mean, everyone ALWAYS has their phone on them, right? (Well, just about)

This is the log I kept yesterday. Obviously, I used all my points, haha!Here is the log I've kept so far today. I have 16 points left. Plus, I have 35 flex points to use throughout the week.
This is the screen where you enter your foods. It has a point calculator built-in, so it makes things super easy.
And, another feature that makes things even easier, is it has a barcode scanner & will scan your food into the log!
I'll keep ya'll posted on how I'm doing. Maybe on Thursday's I'll do a Weight Watchers update post. I'm excited about meeting new moms & trying to lose weight together. I know I'll feel better about myself if I can just get some weight off.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

  4. What app is that? I need to get back on the bandwagon. I did WW a month or so ago and lost 10 lbs. Then we went on vacay and I probably gained it all back. Good luck!

  5. I love weight watchers and that is how I always lose weight!

    It works for me and I don't feel like I am dieting. That is the best part. I never feel like I am missing out on yummy food.

    I'm so happy that you met some mommy's in your area...have fun!!

  6. It always helps to have people to keep you accountable, I think.

    I've been away from blogging for awhile, but I'm getting caught up with everyone. Your baby boy is adorable! Congrats. He looks so sweet!

  9. Great job, Bonnie! I, too, joined Weight Watchers and have lost 6.6 lbs. already. I am doing it online and it's really working. I've tried everything else and decided to give this a try now and it's been the best thing I've done. What app is that on your iphone? I just got the new iphone4and downloaded the Weight Watchers App but I don't know if I have the scan thing that you have. Good luck! You can do it! :o)

  10. that kind of thing would work for me- it's SOO hard to eat right when you don't have anyone to do it with. Sounds awesome! I'll be excited to hear how this goes for you!
