Well....I officially joined Weight Watchers

Look at me! Posting twice in one day. But I have some [semi] exciting news! [hehe. semi.]

After griping to my sis about how annoyed I am with the amount of Weight I have [not] lost, she suggested I go back on WW. And actually do it/pay for it.

Being that I had some money at the moment, I WEIGHED (ha.ha.) my options. The pros certainly out WEIGHED the cons. (sorry.)
Pros:
  • Stricter rules to follow (which sounds like a con, but NOT when you're trying to lose weight. I need to be told what to do!)
  • It is the ONLY program I have ever lost weight on (and only when I was paying for it.. hmph)
  • Fruits and veggies are generally 0 points. Me likey.
  • Mobile apps! Of course, I don't have any on my bitchin' Blackberry right now, but once I get my upgrade and can replace this POS I will be appn' it up. I remember the calculator on my Droid being my savior when grocery shopping. I don't like snacks that are full of empty carbs that are worth 4 points. Uhnothanx.
  • Exercise points. I can get some precious food points back just for exercising. If eating more food isn't motivation to run, I don't know what is. [That was my inner fat girl, forgive her.]
  • They will stop harrassing me asking me to come back. I'm back now.
    • On that note, I got 4 months for the price of 3 months! Thanks Weight Watchers!
Cons:
  • Stricter rules to follow (so I CAN'T eat red meat for dinner every night? and then ice cream for dessert? followed by pounding a beer? That's nuts.)
  • Keeping up with my food log
  • The fact that I don't have a smart phone at the moment
  • Sweet, sweet money
  • Their food database drives me crazy. I mean.. how do they not have all the Smart Ones meals on there? They are WEIGHT WATCHERS MEALS. Jeeeeeeeze.
That is all, folks. Here I go. And by GOLLY I will lose 20 lbs by July.
