Starting Weight: 164 / Current Weight: 161.5 / Goal Weight: 150
So, week two is up. I’m feeling pretty good – lost another 1.5 pounds. It’s funny, I’m not entirely sure how I’m losing the weight. I did start drinking water more often and that seemed to really help, in addition to just making me feel a bit healthier. However I did splurge a little bit this weekend, including a trip to In ‘N Out. But even after all the splurging, I didn’t go over my alloted points for the week and I’m feeling pretty good.
I’m hoping to be able to lose another 2 pounds this week and then I’ll be under 160lbs, which I haven’t been at for quite awhile. However, Sarah reminded me that once I go under 160, my points will go down. Which is good. Currently I get 28 points a day, which is actually quite a lot. As for my goals this week, they are pretty much the same. I need to be better about counting my points as soon as I’ve eaten. There were a few nights this week when I sat down to try and tally up my points for the day (and sometimes, the night before…) and while I’m pretty sure I got everything, it’s much easier to just keep track throughout the day.
And I need to keep drinking water and exercising. Someone said water was the “magic eraser” when it comes to weight loss – so, I’m working on getting my 3 bottles of water in each day. Anyone have any more great Weight Watcher recipe suggestions or other tips for healthy weight loss?

I recommend getting recipes off of cookinglight.com — they include all the nutritional info and it makes it easy to calculate points. Of course, then you have to worry about servings…
Good for you, Adam! Pretty gutsy of you to weigh-in on Mondays too… I’m a Wednesday girl myself.
Adam,
We are attempting the South Beach Diet. He recommends walking rigorously for just 20 minuted before each meal.
Also, i think weight lifting is great for burning fat.
GREAT job and keep up the good work!

Fiber. Lots and lots of fiber. It keeps you full and it reduces your points. Add a fiber supplement to each meal and calculate it into that meal’s points value.
