Ms. Cheevious' Thin, Light, Lean Machine Challenge
I am a life-time member of
Weight-Watchers. Yep. You heard it right. I have to admit when I
walked into my first meeting (shortly after I'd put weight on, after a death in
our family), I wasn't sure if it was a good fit (no pun intended). But I quickly realized I could take
the lessons learned from these experts, apply them to my everyday life and make
lasting changes. I lost 16 pounds the first time I joined and attended
meetings diligently. That was almost twenty years ago. The second time I went back
(years later) for help from Weight Watchers®, I became the lifetime
member I am today. It was then that I vowed I'd never let myself get
totally out of control again.
This January, I came close,
however. It's been a good year and a half that I've been doing the yo-yo
thing, but here I am - and I'm doing it now.
Start
Date: Thursday January 31, 2007
Height: 5' 5"
Goal: 125 lbs
Beginning weight: 136 lbs
Weight after
week 1: 132.5 lbs (02.07.08)
Net Loss or other:
-3.5
PHOTOS REMOVED.... SORRY! The
Plan:
1) Follow what I know about Weight Watchers points program.
2) Weigh myself each week, and document at the beginning and end with
similar photos
For my size and structure, I should consume no more than 20 points (as
calculated on the Weight Watcher's system) per day. Drink lots of
fluids, and exercise if at all humanly possible. You will see that I
tend to be on the low side of points. That is because I don't
count things like the sugar free syrup in my coffee, which they say has
0 calories, but I know better, especially since I tend to drink decaf
coffee all day. I also don't count things like gum, which also
adds up.

got fat from eating carrots")

Books in Development by
Lisa Jey Davis
A funny,
timely book about a hot mamma and the exciting world she
built around her.
Beautiful women are so much more than meets the eye. They
may even be articulate,
intelligent, successful, thinking individuals! Imagine that!
This humorous, truthful memoir offers juicy details of single motherhood
- key word: SINGLE, while dishing on Hollywood celebrities.
It disproves
the notion that becoming a single mom is a death sentence. In fact, for
Lisa Jey, it was quite the contrary.
Addresses the opportunities (realized or not)
made available by expanding our circles and learning about or
awakening to opposite
walks of life. An interactive website offers a place to get to know your opposite,
as well as a private forum to discuss articles, published books, and
to simply converse.
Future
Projects
Many works by Lisa Jey Davis are coming soon! Stay tuned for the
sequel to Milf This! as well as the real world answer book to "I
Don't Know How She Does It." Additionally, keep an eye out for a few
scenic Hiking guidebooks for some high profile destinations.
