My First Post
September 25, 2007 10:35 pm Weight Loss, MotivationWelcome to the Weightlossweapons blog. This is my first official post and I thought I would start it off by introducing myself.
My name is Steve and over the past year or so I have finally dropped those 35+ lbs of ugly unwanted fat. I’ve struggled for the past ten years to lose weight and every attempt has failed, until now. I have tried almost every popular diet out there including the South Beach Diet, The Abs Diet as well as following the Weight Watchers Points plan.
So what changed? Why have my efforts paid off this time? The answer was not that there was a problem with the diet plans I followed. They all work and plenty of people have lost weight with them. The answer for me was information and motivation. I have learned so much about how to lose weight safely, through proper nutrition and a regular exercise program.
I want to share what I have learned and show you how you can lose that extra weight you’ve been carrying on you for years. That is why I created weightlossweapons.com it features a simple way of eating that I follow as well as some great bodyweight exercises, recipes, tools and motivational/ inspiring articles. All built around the theme of the site. I started with the “weapons” These are some of the most important foods and equipment that I have found for losing the weight and keeping it off.
This blog will serve as a way to share more than just the basics. I’ll cover the latest plans, ideas, motivation, news and pretty much anything else weight loss related.

Hi Steve, and welcome! I also lost weight last year — 75lbs on Jenny Craig. This year, it’s creeping back on. I know it will always be a constant battle.

Thanks and congrats on the 75lb weight loss! Jenny Craig is one of the only weight loss plans I haven’t tried. Do you have to purchase their prepackaged food as a requirement to be on the plan?
I hear you about the creeping weight gain. That has happen to me many times and is so frustrating. Keep up the fight, if you do fall off get right back on it.
Good luck.

Steve, no — you do not have to buy their food in order to be on their plan, but it really helps! Also, depending on the center, they may not be as friendly or helpful if they know you’re not buying the food because some focus more on the business aspect of it than on the customer. I don’t think the plan would have worked for me if I hadn’t bought their food, though. It was good food!

Thanks for your input Lorelei,
I will definately have to do a review on the Jenny Craig program.
