MY JOURNEY TO LOSE 100 POUNDS

Well....here we go again. Hopefully this time is the last time I'll say I'm restarting my diet!

I'm going to try to mix things up a little time (literally!). I'm going to piece together different diets that have worked for me in the past and see how things go.

I restarted weight watchers this past Monday and have done amazingly well. 6 pounds lost so far! Of course, I'm sure that much of that is water, but hey, I'll take it! I've been keeping a journal this week, but hate writing things to paper, so I thought I'd start a blog and see how that goes.

How am I going to do things differently this time???

• I'm going to keep track of my points just like weight watchers.

• Instead of using flex points for the weekend, I'll allow myself to eat whatever I want for two meals during the weekend. (Fiber/fat diet)

• I will eat something every 3 hours. (Jorge Cruise diet)
  

• Everytime I lose 10% of my body weight, I will take a metabolic break. (I got this idea from the curves diet).

• The metabolic break is where you start eating more calories and keep close track of your weight. As soon as you gain 3 pounds, you go back onto your diet for 2-3 days. You keep on this cycle and soon the length of time that you are able to eat more calories without gaining weight will increase.
  

• The metabolic break will last no longer than 2-3 weeks.

I've been eating a lot of box dinners this week, but with my busy schedule, I don't really have time to cook. I hope this will change once the husband is no longer working multiple jobs.

I started out this journey at an all time high for me.... 255. So, 10% would be 25 pounds. I will start my metabolic break at 230. I just hit 249 this morning, so starting next week I will be eating 32 points daily.


My Meal Plan
Slim Fast (4pts)
Marie Callender meal (6pts)
Tomatoes (0pts)
Pineapple (1pt)
Lite Yoplait Yogurt (2pts)

This leaves me with 20 points for the evening.
