So, by Wed of last week after not losing any more weight, I decided to start tracking calories too. And by Thursday I was just tracking calories. As a result, as of this morning, I lost 2.2 pounds last week! So, calorie counting it is. Number one this is tried and true, and number two Myfitnesspal.com allows me to track food just as easily as Weight Watchers, and it still holds me accountable as it shows me when I go under/over/right on my calorie goal. It also tracks exercise and you can tailor it all to your needs. It also counts my fat, protien, and carbs, just like WW did. Only I can see how much of all that I'm eating and what changes I should make!
So, we'll see how well this works. I think it's the best method just because it's teaching me how much to eat and of what. It's also opened up more options to me, while closing the doors on some other, poorer options in the sense that I feel some foods just aren't worth it.
Also, I've been on the elliptical like crazy! I upped my resistance and am improving my time and distance quite a bit. Which ALSO burns more calroies! I bought a heart rate monitor today to more accurately track that. But the calorie counter is weird and attached to the pedometer so we'll see how it goes???
