Day 1

I am back on the path to losing weight. Last year I started counting points on weightwatchers and lost 25 pounds in about 4 months. It went by quick, and was actually pretty easy for me. I viewed it as a numbers game and not a diet. I could still eat whatever I wanted, but just had to count the points. I must say that I did very well at "the game".
Well, around the middle of November, right before thanksgiving, I decided to just maintain my weight and not count the points through the holidays. And I must say, that I did very well, and have stayed the same weight, plus or minus 3 pounds here and there, but always back at 185. But, after the holidays, I never could get back into counting the points.
Well now it is June and I want to lose the last 20 pounds. And thanks to my Aunt Shelli, I have signed up for the free calorie counting "myplate" at the website livestrong.com. I now have a new game of counting the calories instead of points. I am hoping that this works just as well as the points game did for the first 25 pounds.
Today I have entered my breakfast and lunch eatings as well as the snacks, into the site and I have 800 calories left for dinner. Will chime in more tomorrow.
