Crab feed tonight

Posted by Rick in Weight Loss.

I’m going to a crab feed tonight, but I’ve done some homework and I can fit it into my WW plan.  I did some checking, and figured that 1.5 lbs will just take me to my allotted 32 points a day.  And that’s after a bigger-than-normal brunch I had this morning.  I put some cole slaw into my “any time” points category, so I’ll be able to stay within program parameters.  Oh, and I’m staying out of the butter, too. 

So far, I’m liking this a lot better than any of the previous Gestapo-like weight loss programs I’ve been on.  I can actually eat some real food and have a good time.  Sure, I don’t anticipate having a 10-pound-loss week, but I hope to get some better long-term results instead.  I’m feeling better already, mostly because I haven’t hit up the fast food joints for lunch.  Those tend to bring on some late-afternoon energy lulls.  Which makes me think I need some caffeine, which keeps me up at night, which gives me cravings for carbs and caffeine the next morning…and the cycle continues.  But no more. 

I’m only on my 4th day of this thing, but so far so good.

    Losing weight is so tough. Like anything else, you just have to want to. Here’s a story of how I lost 110 lbs:

    I’m going to go ahead and approve this post. Other FatBloggers on the blogroll, if you have any objections to the links, let me know. We haven’t really discussed links to outside sources, but this doesn’t appear to be blatant spam. All I can see is some viewpoints and opinions that may be different from ours.

    I think the key to long term success is staying away from the gestapo-like programs and staying with programs where you can eat real food.

    The super strict programs set us up to fail, and most of us have already had enough of that in our weight loss efforts.

    I’m ok with moderating outside links and I think this particular link is “safe.”

    I am, however, kinda envious of the crabs!
