Well it is time for me to lose a few pounds-Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers is a very good program. It helped both Ginny and myself to lose over 120 lbs between the two of us. I went down from a 42 waist to under a 33 waist. Now there is nothing wrong with the program. It gets down to keep track of what you eat each day. As thinking you can keep it all under control in your head and still stay on track, that doesn't work, as you tend to forget what you had been eating earlier in the day.

I do find the Weight Watchers Program a little wanting once you get to Maintenance. Which is getting to your goal weight and keeping it for at least 6 weeks afterward. You are kind of on your own, part of the problem for me was not going to the meetings regularly as one only has to go every 6 weeks. I felt bad sitting there and not having anything to say or to participate in the meetings. No one wants to hear how successful you have been all the time. As some of the people had been there before we even started in the first place.

It was the same way I started to work for the Program but found it hard to be on the other side weighting people in and flogging what ever products for that week just because I got some sort of commission from the sales.

So I stopped going and then stopped counting and low and behold my 34 waist is now tight and I will be damned if I am going to buy anymore clothes to fit.

As I dropped down in size. I got rid of my old big clothes, so I would not be tempted to slip up in the buffet table.

Well I am now about 15lbs over my goal weight and pledge to get back on track. This post is for my blogging buddy down under. So here is a picture of what I looked like before I started on weight watchers and a picture of what I looked like a year later. Just to prove that I was almost looking like the Michelin Tire Man.

Me before I started on Weight Watchers in Cuba Drinking.


Me after 1 Year on Weight Watchers again in Cuba.


I realize now that Frank will go to some lengths to do me some composite shots and send them to me. If they are not rude I will post them on the computer.

So "Allons 'y" We go there or Off and Running and hopefully Losing a little on the way. Slow and steady.

Away on Holiday for next few Weeks

See you when we get back.






Take Care.
