Just kidding :) But for real. I have gots to lose some weight!
I hope you already follow me on my other blog, where I talk about my life as an army wife: www.ashleyjayne.com
But this is sort of just a side blog. I have to crack down on getting skinny, and I figure if I put my stuff out there for everyone to see. I'm gonna do weight watchers. Every single day, I will post my weight, what I eat, and how many points I use.
I don't go to the support group, or pay for anything weight watchers, for that matter. I done some research online. I use the old form of weight watchers, not the points plus system. Mainly it's just too much work, bahaha. But really, the equation is simple.
(Carbs/50)+(Fat/12)-(Dietary Fiber/5). And there's your points! You're supposed to round, I usually round up.
So, how many points do you get? Use this formula:
1. Are you:
Female?........score 2
Male?............score 8
Breastfeeding?....score 12
2. How old are you?
17-26...........score 4
27-37...........score 3
38-47...........score 2
48-58...........score 1
over 58.........score 0
3. What do you weigh?
Enter the first 2 digits of your weight in pounds
4. How tall are you?
under 5' 1".......score 0
5' 1" to 5' 10"...score 1
over 5' 10.........score 2
5. Do you spend most of your day:
sitting down?....score 0
occasionally sitting, but mainly standing?........score 2
walking most of the time.........score 4
doing physically hard work most of the time?...score 6
Then, just add them up! You're also supposed to get so many extra points a week, I think it's like 25? That you can use wherever you want to. But I want to lose weight, so I'm gonna try my best not to use that.
I use the chart I printed out from this site to keep track of everything, it even have boxes to check at the bottom to keep up with how many fruits and veggies, bottles of water, and milk products you use. It's great.http://www.laaloosh.com/printable-weight-watchers-food-journal/
So, there ya go!
I'll post each night, so I'm not posting after every meal.
