Weight watchers

So, my doctor said i qualified for 12 weeks free weight watchers sessions, so as i needed to lose weight i might as well do them. so i went yesterday for the first time, and lets just say it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I got a lot of information and they let me know what my points limit was and how it works and i got weighed which i will come to later. Today was my first day using points which was a little bit weird as normally i just look on the packet of what ever i am having but now i either have to look it up in a book or use this new wheel they gave me, they also talked about pedometers, which i was gonna get a while ago but never did, and she said the average woman does just over 4000 steps a day but needed to be doing at least 6000 to make a difference so when i got home i looked on ebay an got one like this,


This morning we were rudely woken up by the post man banging on the door and it turns out the pedometer had arrived, i only ordered it at lunch time yesterday and it was here this morning, now that's a service i like to see, lol. so we decided last night that we would take Mimi for a walk around himley so i set up the pedo, clipped it on my trousers and away i went, it was only when i got back to the car that i took a look at what i had done, 3747 steps in the past about 2 hours, are you for real!!!! this is just my normal daily things so i walk well over the 4000 i am supposed to do on a normal day and that's not when i am trying, then there is work, i am going to wear it to work and see how much i do there as i do walk quite a lot at work. Over all i think its great.

Now on to my weight, i have been meaning to write about this for a while but i felt a little bit ashamed but here goes, i set up a weight loss page at the top there to track my weight loss, i originally weighed myself on my wii fit as that is something i can use everyday, well turns out i don't weight what it says on there it said i was 13st 5lbs when I'm not, the weight was wrong as we had new carpet so this was not giving me a correct reading, when i got weighed at the doctors and at weight watchers i was between 14st 1lb and 14st 3lbs, this is quite alot of difference, this is what is making my BMI 31.1 when i need it to be under 30, this means i have to lose at least 7lbs and soon as i don't know when i need to lose it by, if the letter from my doctor to the PCT board gets declined then i will be very p***ed off, i know its the rules but the least they could do is give me the first consultation to see if i lost the weight already then if not send me away. On the weight watchers they said to aim for 2lbs a week, so if this works i would have lost 8lbs in a month and should be under 30 BMI.
