WeightWatchers Week 13

by John T March 31, 2007

After skipping a couple weeks, I’m back in the saddle. My usual weigh-in day is Friday, and I have been working the last two Fridays for my co-workers who felt they needed three-day weekends… selfish bastards! The fact is, I DID weigh in on the 16th… it just wasn’t anything I wanted to shout from [...]

Shoot for a 5

by Rick March 29, 2007

On a Scale of 1 to 10 « Lose Weight With Me Here’s an interesting concept:  Rate your hunger on a scale of 1-10.  One is you’re completely empty and could eat a horse.  Ten is you’re completely full and couldn’t eat another bite.  Try to stay at a five most of the time.  Don’t [...]

Week 3 weigh-in

by Rick March 27, 2007

Portion sizes

by Rick March 27, 2007

Claire Sundstrom at Diet Blog has an interesting post about why we serve such large portions of food in our country.  Even more interesting is some of the perspectives that are being shared in the comments.  Weight Watchers has really caused me to think differently about the amount of food that goes into me on [...]

Helpful Website

by John T March 26, 2007

For those of us on WeightWatchers there is a resource out there on the web that I’ve got to share with you Dotti’s Weight Loss Zone. The biggest benefit I have found on Dotti’s site is the points values of foods/entree’s at MANY restaurants. Going back a couple weeks, this is the site I was [...]

WeightWatchers.com MAN's UP!

by John T March 26, 2007

I have confessed in previous posts the use of  ‘excuses’ when it comes to the lack of success & commitment I have shown in Weight Watchers. One of the easy ‘excuses’ was the OBVIOUS lack of testosterone exhibited in the WW publications, the website and at the meetings. Just last week, I got an email [...]

Great post over at No More Mr. Fat Guy

by Rick March 23, 2007

Let’s not face reality » No More Mr. Fat Guy! Greg Todd at No More Mr. Fat Guy has a great article on the utopian idea of a food that tastes great, and that you can eat as much as you want but never gain weight.  Apparently, they’re trying this very idea in Holland.  Greg’s [...]

Week 2.5 weigh-in

by Rick March 23, 2007

I normally weigh in on Tuesday evenings, but because of a glitch in my schedule this week, I had to wait until Friday morning.  Anton, drum roll please… 5 pounds this past week and a half, bringing my total to 12.4 pounds.  I’m going for the slow burn this time around, instead of the rapid, [...]
