Down 27 lbs: My new diet in details

Still on Wait Watchers and following there freestyle diet.  It consist on eating fruits, vegetables, lean meats, wheat bread and drinking plenty of water. 

Each food item has points and currently I have 36 points to eat on a daily basis. As you lose weight over time your daily points go down. Good food choices and strategy come in to place in order to be successful.

It helps they have 200 foods that are worth zero points like fruit, fish, and vegetables. They have a vast recipe section as well.  You eat out less often but when you do they have a vast list of restrurants and their menu loaded in the WW app as well.

We used the app today when eating out at BJ's a great place to eat.  Today I had the Barbecue Bison Burger and only ate half it to cut down on my points. Along with a salad and broccoli and sugarless tea.

Bad foods that are higher points are white bread, sugar, cakes, cookies, ice cream and most processed foods.  On my weigh end day every week I eat a snicker ice cream bar that is 10 points. The rest of the day I have to include zero foods to help from going over my daily count.

So far so good, since January 2019 I have lost 27 pounds and currently my weight is 263 pounds. I have lost three pants sizes and buying new clothes since my older cloths fall off me. My waist is now 42 and no longer shop in the big and tall stores. Freedom is good and I'm exercises five times a week.

I am on fire and plan to stay that way until I reach my goal weight of 200 pounds.

Down 21 pounds

Today I loss one pound last week for a total weight loss of 21 pounds since January 2019.  The biggest changes I have made is joining Weight Watchers and increasing the intensity of my workouts.

Weight Watchers has educated me on eating the correct portions, adding more vegetables and fruit and drinking a lot of water. I cut out soda, juices and sugar in my coffee.  I try to eat a vegetable with every meal, eat lean meats like Salmon fish, Sam's Club roasted chicken with out the skin, wheat bread, and research every food item with their app.

My workout are non stops with very small breaks.  Added new items in my gym like the speed bag and battle ropes.  I work out for 45 minutes every other day.  I try to change up my workout routine often.

I am seeing major weight loss and had to buy new clothing recently because my old ones are falling off of me.

Joined Weight Watchers

I haven't posted in years but I never gave up.  Three weeks ago I tried on one of new shirts and no longer could fit it. That put in a rage in me to do something about it.

Then I remember my wife talking about Weight Watchers.  So I joined three ago and it has changed my life.  I have lost 13 pounds and haven't done that in thirty five years.

I still exercise but now I fixed my diet by drinking water at every meal, cut way down on sweets, take advantage of their zero point food, and watch my portions. I'm back.
