In 2010 I decided to put years of diet failure behind me and try once again to lose weight. Needing to drop at least 50 pounds, I set my goal at one pound a month. I ended up losing 10 lbs. in 2010. I'll hope for 12 this year, but even if I just match last year's loss I'll be way ahead. In March my doctor gave me a diagnosis of prediabetes. That was bad news but it gave me new determination to get the weight off.

Moving Again

No, I'm not moving houses or locations but the dial on the scale has finally decided to drop. It was so frustrating not to lose anything for weeks and weeks. I finally had to buckle down and lower the number of calories I was eating. That was so hard to do, because I felt like I was already limiting my diet drastically, to the point of feeling quite sorry for myself. But I've shaved off about a hundred or two hundred more calories each day. It's made a significant difference. I'm not looking for another good weight loss in February, but I'll be happy if I can come down another pound.


P.S. I wonder how people are doing with the new Weight Watcher's diet. I'm not following the old plan strictly any more. I've gone back to counting calories. Only I like the new numbering system, of using a point for each 50 calories, so that's how I've continued to record what I'm eating.
