I've gained weight over the past year since LP and I've been struggling to lose it again. I find that I lose 5 - 6 lbs and then put it back on. The scale has been a constant yo-yo since January. Very frustrating. I considered going back to Weight Watchers since it helped me lose weight in the past. The problem with WW is that I don't really keep a food journal and I don't get much out of the meetings. The reason it helps me lose weight is because I have to face the scale once a week with another person logging my weight. That's the motivation I need to stay on track (silly, I know, but everyone needs to find what works for them). Since that's all I get from WW, it seems silly to pay them $15/week just for that.
So, during my long run, I got the brilliant idea of logging my weight with my husband once a week. The hardest part was sending him my initial weigh in and having to acknowledge to another human being how much weight I've gained. Ugh! But, I stayed on track last week and lost 1.2 lbs.
He has strict instructions to just record the weight and not make any other comments. The last thing I need is him giving me weight loss advice (he's a naturally thin person who can eat just about anything and still not gain weight). That would not be good for our relationship.
So, I'll keep you updated and let you know if we're still married after a few months of this! Anyone else have any strategies that sound crazy, but work?
