So following on from last week, I told you that I’ve joined
Weight Watchers online and had downloaded the app on my phone. Over the week I
tracked everything I ate using the tracker. I found this so easy to use; it
really is a great tool. You can search foods or input the info from a packet to
calculate points. The app also enables you to track your weight, after every
weigh in it shows you your progress on a graph. There are some success
stories to inspire you, as well as various recipes. I found this really helpful
and have loved tracking my meals and finding out how many points are in all the
things I’ve ate. Some have been a bit of a shock to say the least!
Following my result I decided to put
together a little graph of the points I had used at each sitting just to get
some clarity of where my problem areas are. I found that I never ate more than
4 points for breakfast and 8 for lunch but would be snacking a lot or having a
lot for dinner. I also found that over the weekend I went over quite a lot. With that being said, this week I’m going to concentrate on
ensuring I eat breakfast every day and snack on more fruit. I am also going to
plan my meals over the weekend as much as possible so that I stick to the plan
and don’t let temptation get in my way!

Well done! I lost this week too, but have eaten way too much cake this week! Yesterday I only ate cake and cheese on toast... So bad. Temptation is an evil one.
ReplyDeleteThat quote is really good, will try and remember that when I'm going for sugary snacks!
Well done, that's brilliant :-) The app sounds so helpful.
