My battles with weight loss and intimate knowledge of health issues and medical care have inspired me to create an online edu-social network about health and well-being.

2008 - Dieting Again
2008 Resolution:
1. Go down from 217 to 185 lbs. by eating healthier - yes, following the ol' Weight Watchers' and exercising more - morning workout sessions of 10+ minutes would help
2. Ensure that future blood tests turn out ok - no more high sugar, cholesterol, and saturated fats....
3. Stick with a daily routine of brisk walking, healthy eating, and 6+ sleep hours.
Hope it works....

Day 1 - The Diet-Sequel
Ok, new diet. Day 1.
Weight: 211 lbs
Height: 6'
Age: Late 30s
What I did differently: 50 push-ups and 50 pull-ups and played in park with son for 1/2 hour or so;
What I did the same: Ate too much delicious Brie in the morning; ate what was offered to me without regard to Weight Watchers points, calories, or fat content.....
Tomorrow I start eating differently....

Need to get back in shape,
Guilt kept me from writing since August.
Yes, I've gained weight. I'd say I'm about 40 lbs heavier than when I first began the diet. I must begin again what I started. Amazing how one forgets the healthy feeling and tries to fill up, in search for it.....
Wish me luck - We start on APRIL 1st.... and I'm not Foolin' Ya..... Promise...

Still going strong and losing weight
Greetings,
The weight loss is still working. I haven't weighed myself lately, but I feel I lost between 25-30 since March. It's important to eat breakfast, use sweetener in coffee and tea, stop drinking soda, and eat less before bedtime - hey, it's worked for me....

Weight Watchers helps you keep your lbs off
Hello,
I've been out of the program for almost 2 weeks now. At the last meeting on May 29th, I was happy to learn I've lost 22 lbs. since I started on the program in March.
I'm not counting my points now but am making smarter choices when I eat in and out. I am eating more breakfast and less dinner. I'm doing a little exercise routine each morning which invigorates me. I rarely drink coffee now. I feel more energetic and have a more positive self image. I encourage everyone who is concerned about health and weight to do something about it. I did, and in a little time I accomplished so much. It's worth it.
Good luck,
Elvis

I Fell Off the Weight Watcher's Wagon, But I'm Back - 2nd Time
Yes, I'm back..... 3 weeks I've been silent, you say? Yes, you're right....
I've watched my diet but haven't kept track of points nor measured my weight. Almost 3 weeks ago I had my weigh in and I was happy. Yes, there was a total of 15lb weigh loss that put me on top of the group. I lost 15 lbs in my 1st month and a half of the program. I wanted to lose 30 lbs by the end of May. If I lose 20 lbs, I'll be extremely happy. I'm going back to the weigh in on Tuesday. Let's see what will happen then.
I will not write about my total points per day from now on, nor list in depth what I've ingested. If you have any comments, please participate in my blog. I'll reply promptly.
I feel slimmer and I'm happy I started with WeightWatchers. I think the first few weeks of the program made me more self aware of what I need to eat and when.
