Day 1

Its my little ones 1st birthday party.  I'm about 340 lbs give or take a piece of cake.  I know I need to lose some weight and I've thought about it before, just never had the motivation to do it.  At the party my brother/sister-in-law showed me an app that helped them lose weight called http://www.myfitnesspal.com/  I took the hint after about the 3rd time of showing me how to use the app.  JERKS! and thanks at the same time.  lol  They had me sign up online then install the app on my android phone.  MFP (what the cool kids call it) is free!  Can't beat that price.  It's very similar to another app called Lose it.  MFP is the same concept like Weight Watchers but without all the stupid points.  I lost 50 lbs using Weight Watchers, so I'm allowed to say the points are stupid!  There I got that off my chest, I feel better now.  You put the basics age/sex/weight/how active/how much you want to lose each week (which ranges from .5 to 2 lbs) and it will spit out how many calories you can eat each day.  TBH, it's as simple as that.  They had me signed up and ready to go within 5 mins.  Now, its up to me if I really want this to work or not.  I was thinking that if I lost 15-20 lbs at least my clothes would fit better.

  1. I am so glad that someone else thinks Weight Watchers Points program is stupid! I lost 67 pounds with them when they had the selection plan in the 90's. It was all about portions and choices. That was easier to do. I hated the Points. I tried and tried and could never get anywhere with it. Wasted a lot of money.

  2. It did work, but holy crap did it require a lot of effort. It was like being in math class all over again. (fat + protein)/calories + the square root of fiber. lol That's what it felt like to me. I did it up to the day of my wedding and was done the day I got married. I feel MFP is just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much easier. To each their own.
