Well, I don't know about you, but I am impressed. My wife didn't think I would be dedicated to this challenge, but I kicked her hiney. I have made some major improvements in the way I eat. No more junk food. Well I can't say that I have totally cut out all junk food. But if you were to compare it to what I used to eat, then you would say I really changed my way of eating. Yeah, I still like my pizza, cheese burgers and fried chicken. I haven't had the fried chicken yet, but I now know that I need to watch my portions, eat more fresh foods and keep my calorie count down.
I would really recommend weight watchers to people. Ruth and I never really watched what we were eating. We just ate, and ate and ate. Enjoying everything. We have found new things to enjoy. I do have one thing to say about weight watchers. You really need to go to the meetings. And tracking what you are eating is key. I found myself mainly tracking my food on the livestrong daily plate site. I like that application on the itouch/iphone. I can track immediately and not try to recount what I ate that day. So, I can continue using that to watch what I am eating.
I have friends that have really noticed the change. And I have recommended the livestrong organization to friends and family. I think that what you did for all of us is really awesome. You jump started a new way of living. My doctor was really impressed at the weight I lost, and my eating habits has reduced my cholesterol. He asked what I was doing, and I told him weight watchers.
So exercise was always a challenge for Ruthie and me. Our hours are not real conducive to getting out to a gym. We did occasionally make time to ride a bike or walk, but it was never consistent. I walk all day at work, so atleast I got in 4-5 miles a day. I would have to say that making the big change in my eating habits must have been the reason I lost 28 lbs. I wonder what it would have been if we would have exercised more. hmm??
Well this has been a great education. I appreciate everyone at livestrong for giving us the opportunity and challenge to make a change. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. John
