The abridged version of who I am... Wife. Homeschooling mother of two. Almost 40 (eeek!). Weight Watchers diet follower since May 2016. I have lost just over 10 pounds in my first month following the Weight Watchers diet. Since my teenage years, I have gained and lost the same 20 pounds several times. After having children, those 20 turned into 25. During the journey of having two kids, I gained and lost these 25 pounds a couple of times. I have tried a variety of "diets"--low fat, Paleo, and others--all of which have proven to be too restrictive. Weight Watchers has afforded me the flexibility I crave in terms of the foods I can choose to eat. I am rarely hungry (and, for the most part, I don't use my Weekly SmartPoints). I love to cook, but I often like to keep things simple, too--especially when it comes to snacks.
Enough said. Welcome, and thanks for reading!
You should know... I am not a doctor or a nutritionist. I am not a Weight Watchers expert. I am new at this. While the Weight Watchers diet seems to work for me in terms of weight loss, I can't encourage or discourage the diet for others. Any decisions regarding your diet are highly personal and should be made between you and your doctor. I use the Weight Watchers website and/or mobile application to calculate SmartPoints values. I strongly urge you to verify these calculations on your own. Brands vary. Points values may change. I am a human being and make mistakes.
