Woohoo! I was going to do a diet plan called Lean for Life, which is a low-carb diet. But Jabe was afraid he wouldn't like it, and it is pretty hard-core for a beginner. We decided to start Weight Watchers, but we are using the books that we bought at a garage sale. We have family members that have been on it, so they can also help guide us through it without a membership.
Well, it's been a week, and I've lost 6 pounds! Jabe has lost 7 and we are both feeling changes within ourselves. We get fuller faster and we love measuring our food because it makes us realize how much we used to eat. I probably used to have 3 to 4 servings of food in one sitting. I'm especially happy for Jabe because he gets discouraged easily and he needed to see that it is working. We have been drinking 8-12 glasses (8 oz.) of water daily, and that has made a BIG difference.
Tomorrow, we will start walking for 30 minutes daily. Soon after, I will start learning to tone muscles. I know exercise will also be a big factor in my weight loss.
I'm glad I finally got to start a diet. It's been a long time and we both know this is the right time.
