This is absolutely true. It takes both exercise and diet. We’ve been gym rats for years, but finally the eating started catching up with us.
For just over a month now, we’ve had the Weight Watchers app on our phone…it allots a certain number of points each day. We’ve each lost over 10 pounds in a month!
This app has made us much more aware of what each thing we eat is costing us, and our choices have become much, much healthier – and fewer – as a result. On top of that, no food is off limits…ya just have to pay for it with points. lol. What we’ve found is that we have started to eat way more fruits and veggies (0 points!) so we can stockpile points for a nice dinner out on weekends, of whatever calls out to us at the restaurant.
I know, weight watchers of yore does not sound appealing. Believe me we would not be doing this if we had to go to meetings or publicly weigh in. All that is no longer required. It’s all between me and my cell phone app now. And a buddy – I think this works best if you do it in pairs. My wife’s encouragement is key, as is my encouragement of her.
here is the article that got us started. It reads like an ad, but we’ve found it to be totally true.
