When I saw Dr. Freeze in April I talked to her about my inability to lose weight even though I watched what I ate and exercised an hour+ everyday. When I had mentioned it last year, she had encouraged me to put in 150 minutes of cardio exercise a week and take Furosemide for swelling. It made a little bit of difference, but not as much as I would have expected for as hard as I was working at it. She decided to do blood work to see if I was insulant resistant as that could be the cause of my inability to lose weight. The tests results came back right away and I was labeled as insulant resistant by 0.1%. My choices were to take medication which had some severe intestinal issues or lose twenty pounds. As I talked to the nurse I realized that I really didn't have a choice. I hated the thought of the side effects of the medication and had had success with Weight Watchers in the past, so I chose the weight loss plan.
Although I tried to talk myself out of it, I started my joined Weight Watchers yesterday. As I measured out my two tablespoons of Zesty Italian salad dressing for lunch, Meg said that the plan was perfect for me. I knew that she was right as I like to be organized and WW let me track everything I ate. I was also able to sync my FitBit to the WW app which will keep track of my activity level and gave me Fit Points. I was definitely hungry the last two days, but happy to see that it was already working. My goal was to lose 27 pounds. I hope to be able to accomplish that this summer. I'm still not excited about going back on Weight Watchers, but I know that it will be worth it in the end.
