Ok, so Bret and I have been serious about losing weight. I've done Weight Watchers before, but only for a few weeks (and a few years ago). I'm not the best about exercising (who has the time?!). And we ALL know about my Mt. Dew addiction! So when Bret told me he wanted to try Weight Watchers I jumped on the wagon with him. :) We've been doing it for a week now (me - a couple of days behind) and guess what. Bret has lost a total of 6.5 pounds!!!!!!!! In just one week. Do you know how much I've lost - a GRAND total of .6 pounds. In case you didn't see that correctly, that was point 6 NOT plain old 6. Bitter?! Who me?! YES!
To make matters worse - my back is still sore, and I'm going on 4 days without my Mt. Dew! The last time I went that long without soda was before LIvvy was born (she's 3). This is TOUGH!!!
I know that I need to workout more (I'm doing stretches and abs right now), but my body just hurts all the time! And after taking care of kids, hubby, house and now fixing and prepping healthy meals; I ache! I"m sure as I drink more water and get to a healthier place, my body will feel better. But its a little frustrating getting to that point.
I AM happy for my Dear Hubby though. He would have been even more frustrated than I am if he hadn't seen any progress. He is SO good! He went to a friends house on Saturday night and they had homemade deep fried chicken wings, pizza, and ice cream there. Those are 3 of his MOST favorite things to eat and he didn't have a bite! He just chewed his sugar free gum and drank water. My strong willed man! He's amazing. I'm glad he lost so much - he deserves it. :)
Wish me well on my frustrating battle of the bulge :)
Hey Amie, any great WW recipes to share? Especially things I can eat that are quick and easy for me for lunches? :) Or for Bret to take for meals to work?

good luck!!! Yes, very frustrating. I'll do it with you. My family played biggest loser amongst ourselves last year and it was fun to see everyones progress. It even helps when you want to eat something you shouldn't, you remember the game. Keep it up!!
