Weigh-In # 1 : -3.4 pounds

I lost 3.4 pounds! *Go Stef! Go Stef!*  This whole counting POINTS is not new to me, however, I found it difficult. I cannot, I repeat, I CANNOT resist Coca-Cola...I LOVE SODA! Especially Coca-Cola. Could I have done better? Yeah. I mean, I could have not ate a few things. I could have not drank some Coke. But I did. That is the beauty of this plan. As long as I lose, I am doing just fine. So many always ask me, how much do you plan to get to? Well...honestly, I have F boobs, major booty and hips...so those have to be taken in account. My DESIRED weight is 150. I WOULD LOVE to weigh 150.  So, what is your desired weight? Many also asks me what keeps me motivated. Well, its my mom. When you have a weight-loss buddy, losing weight is ALWAYS easier! My mom is the one who reminds me that I don't need that brownie. So a partner is a PLUS! Also, I know many cannot afford Weight Watchers, so here are a few tips: 1- PORTION CONTROL: Always check the back of the products. Remember, to also look for the servings. EX: Lets pretend a snickers is 370 calories, it will say amount per-servings 1 , Amount per package 2. Therefore it is 370 for only 1 serving when the package contains two! So double up on calories if you eat it! 2- WATER: Drink water, you will and can get full. Most time when someone thinks they are hungry, it is just your body saying, "Water please!" 3- EXERCISE: I HATE exercises...so what I do, and if you are like me, I park my car further away from my destination. Therefore I have to walk. Or I return the shopping cart back to the store instead of using the cart holders in the middle of the parking lots while shopping. 4-BUDDY UP: Having a partner for that extra encouragement is always a PLUS! Where there is encouragement there is a better chance of losing. 5- TRACK: Track what you eat in a food diary (journal) it will give you a better perspective what your do's and don'ts are. Also, it is a good reminder of your strength and weaknesses.  Do you have any tips you'd like to share?
