Weighing In: There is NO secret!

First things first...Happy Birthday to the Queen. Taking her out to a nice dinner at Sakura, a Japanese steak house. Kind of like Benihana.

Anyway, another loss this week. Stop asking what my secret is, though, because there is no secret. Here's what I'm doing:

1) Drinking at least half my weight (in ounces) of water a day.

2) Loosely following the points (Flex) system of Weight Watchers. By that I mean I'm not keeping track of every last point, but I know basically what I'm eating here and there, and know when to take it easy or when I can "splurge" a little.

That's it. No more, no less. Now, on to this weeks results.

Starting weight (8/12/08): 221.4

Weight today (9/22/08): 196.8

Last week: 199.0

Difference from last weigh in: -2.2 lbs

Overall difference: 24.6 lbs

I'm Melting, I'm Melting (whataworldwhataworld...)

Need to lose weight?

Do WeightWatchers.

Forget Atkins. Screw South Beach. Tell OptiFast to stick it where the sun don't shine.

Because WeightWatchers is where it's at (I got two turntables and a microphone). Fo' real.

I've lost about 18 pounds in about a month. Take that in. 18 pounds. About a month. And I didn't have to lose the carbs, or overload the carbs, or whatever. All WW does, if you use the flex plan, is teach you how to portion correctly for your size. You don't have to stop eating stuff you love, you just have to do it smartly. And in moderation. It's awesome. Let me say it again: 18 pounds in about a month. I haven't even started my workout regimen yet. Just you all wait till that happens.

Don't let the "notion" that it's for women stop you if you're male. That's BS. Yeah, maybe it still seems like it's geared towards women, but maybe thats because they're smarter than we are and they realize IT FREAKIN' WORKS! So, if you need to lose weight, find your local WeightWatchers, commit to it, and watch that weight FLY THE HELL OFF. :D

Note: I realize my results aren't typical. But I also realize that the system works for a reason and it's probably the simplest and most logical weight loss plan for pretty much everyone if they have even the slightest bit of willpower.


In other news, I ranked again in David McMahon's Blogs of the Week. (Check it out here http://david-mcmahon.blogspot.com/search/label/Aussiejourno%27s%20Weekly%20Blog%20Awards ) I dropped to 14, though. I gotta step it back up. Maybe more humorous Elmo stories. Like how I came home today to find he had taken the top layer of garbage out of the trash, and gotten in to the pantry and eaten an entire box of Jessie's cookies. Ugh. He's lucky he's cute.
