Post 219 A: Weight Loss
I use to look like a famous western hero, Fat Bastardson.
What are you laughing at? Have you looked in the mirror lately?
I had, subconsciously, been eating myself into an early grave since my wife cheated on me with Dr. Charles M. Pendley. After coming to realize what had happened to me and what I was doing to myself I joined Weight Watchers. At that time I was about 200 lbs. Which is a lot for a man of 5 foot & 7 inches. I was down from my highest of 220 at that time.
This morning I was 155.8 lbs. Weight Watchers had given me a goal weight of 160 lbs. My Doctor gave me ten extra pounds for muscle mass and clothing. So, my offical goal weight became 170 lbs. I am now 14.2 lbs. under my goal weight. I feel much better and I think I look much better. I am also now a Life Member of Weight Watchers. Which means I no longer pay dues and I have to weigh in once a month instead of once a week.
Weight Watcher, I think, is the best program going. You don't buy ready made food. You're given booklets on low calorie, high nutrition foods and you go to the grocery store and buy your own food. I do exercise and I do watch what I eat. Any simple exercise is better that no exercise at all.
Rule No. 1, Don't stop, weight loss takes time.
So, you only lost one pound this whole month? If you lose only one pound a month for 12 months how many pounds is that? Twelve!
If you lose only one pound a week for 52 week how many pounds is that? Right, fifty-two pounds!
Weight Watchers flex plan works on a point system. One point is about 45 calories. I count it as 50 calories, it's easier for me to keep up with.
How many points can YOU have a day?
If you're female you get 2, nursing mom 12, male 8.
Age:
17-26 years, 4 points.
27-37, 3.
38-47, 2.
48-58, 1.
over 58, 0.
Your weight now:
Use the first two digits of your weight. If you are 190 lbs. add the 19 as points.
If you're less that 100 lbs. you would use only the first single digit, 99 lbs. would be 9 points.
Your height:
If under 5'1" add 0 points.
5' 1" to 5' 10" add 1 point.
Over 5' 10" add 2 points.
How much exercise do you get in a day?
Sitting down at work, 0 points.
Mainly standing, some sitting, add 2 points.
Mostly walking, add 4 points.
Doing hard physical work, add 6 points.
Now you would be able to get your points. Come to Weight Watchers and get the booklets that will tell you how many points are in each food. Example: a steak the size of a deck of cards, 5 points. One slice of thin crust pizza, 6 points.
P.s. You should speak to your Doctor before beginning any diet.
