In February, my doctor called my bluff and said he wanted to see me in six months to check on my weight loss goals. It was definitely the kick in the pants I needed to start taking my 2017 new year's goal of "be healthier" seriously. I spent about two weeks trying to track and watch my macro nutrients on My Fitness Pal. This is an excellent app and I will definitely use it again in the future but I just didn't have the will power to manage calories and watch the fat, sugars, sodium, etc.
So two weeks ago, I took advantage of the Weight Watchers online sale and used some of my work bonus to sign up for 3 months. I have been more conscious of tracking and the items I'm tracking since I started back. There have been a few changes - the 0 point smoothies I used to love now have to be calculated differently - but so far it's been an easier transition than I remembered from my first membership in 2010.
The website itself has lost some functionality but still covers the basic necessities. I don't find it as easy to research a particular restaurant or view my list of favorites when making last minute decisions. But having to plan a little more in advance forces me to make better decisions in the long run. On the positive side, they put a lot of effort into making sure the online customers get the same support one would in a face to face meeting. So I am confident that this will be the extra bit I need to be successful.
