3 years ago I joined Weight Watchers--finally deciding to get rid of the college 50 I gained haha. In about 7 months I lost 53 lbs. After that, I stopped going to the meetings because A) It got expensive and B) I figured now I know the plan by heart and I could do it myself. I did ok on my own. But with the exception of a few small drops here and there, I basically maintained. Which is good, it shows I can do that since I learned and got accustomed to a better way of eating. But at the same time, I still wasn't at my goal weight. Over this past holiday I gained a few more pounds than I would have liked--due to eating whatever I wanted and being lazy and not consistently going to the gym, my own damn fault! So I figured that I needed some sort of jump start diet since I think my body just got used to Weight Watchers points. I started the Dr Ian 4 day diet last Monday. So far so good! I'm down 6.8 since then--and that includes not following the food layout on Fri, Sat, Sun, but instead I just watched what I ate and got to the gym. I have a little less than 25 to go until I'm at my goal which would make about 75 lbs since starting WW 3 years ago. I think I'm gonna stick with this 4 day diet for the last 25 and then go back to watching my "points" since that did such a good job of keeping me maintained.
Now that I wrote a book you all know my story! haha Anyway, I love this site and I love that so many people are active on it and are very open with their stories. When I start to feel lacking in motivation or get hungry (hehe) I just hope on and read people's stories and I'm instantly re-motivated! So thank you to all the members here who are so helpful and supportive!
