Dieting

[tinyjo]

I'm going to start keeping a note of my dieting progress here. As I doubt many of you are interested in the figures so I'll be restricting the entries to a friends group. If you want to see them, comment here and I'll add you to the group. The idea is that I'll get all the benefits of going to weightwatchers (i.e. the scrutiny and record and stuff) but without paying!

I'm doing Weight Watchers - I've got all the info from last year when I used to go along to meetings for a bit so I'll use that. It's a bit like a simplified version of calorie counting - each food has a points value based on the no of calories and the amount of saturated fat and you're allowed a certain number of points per day depending on your current weight (about 22 for me I think). Want to follow my progress?

Dear Tinyjo

The programme seems quite all right, even though I would have my doubts as the number of points may not take into account the content of the food. For example, say you get to have a trifle (with strawberries). The number of points will be the same as when it is a "diet" trifle, with half the calories. Anyway, I will be pleased to follow your progress so a weekly or so update may be good. Who knows, I may end up doing it if it works!
