Switching it up…
Well…I have been on this journey a long long time…Over four years…
The first two years I was a Weight Watchers gal…
The last two years I was a Calorie Counter gal…
Now…
Well, I have been at a semi stalled point for too many months. The exercise is down. The motivation is back, yet, the scale is not moving like I want it too…
This round has been very tough.
A lot of it was mental. I have had a lot of mental and emotional garbage to get through this past year and I know thats held me back a bit. But I am ready now. Have been for months. And the scale is not moving very well…
So I have decided it is most likely time for a switch again. Two years seems to be my limit. My boredom maximum…
So this weekend I decided to switch over to counting fat grams. I will still exercise. I will still keep a food journal. I will still keep an eye on calories, but in addition, I will count fat grams…
I am going to see if doing something new helps me. It has proven to work in the past, so we will see…
Its hard reading and learning a whole new system…Reading labels again…But also kind of exciting…
I am very motivated lately, and really want this, however, why is it whenever we feel that way, its when the scale moves the slowest, so we cant STAY motivated….GRRRrrrrrrrrrr…
I really really want to lose 30 pounds in the next five-six months…I HAVE wanted this…
Anyway, this is kind of my third new beginning…I am excited to see if this works…I will keep you all posted…
Your blog kinda got me going too. Thanks for the extra motivation! I get bored easily too and I think sometimes tying something new can be the jumpstart we need! You can get those lst 30 lbs off! I just know it!
Boredom is a big reason so many people don’t stick with their weight loss plans and then dont succeed in meeting their goals.
Its so easy to see how that can happen.
Good for you for looking for new ways to keep going and staying motivated.
It is exciting isn’t it?
Best of luck
I know you can do it

I agree with you boredom sucks!!! hopefully you can kick start you metabo and get moving again….
Boredom gets to me,too. Great idea to change it up. I know I have to. Hmm, I have always done the calories, maybe I should try the fat grams, thanks for the idea!
love the idea of changing it up. i think looking at fat is always a good idea, too, that stuff does just have a way of settling on the ole bod
do let us know how it goes!
Cheers to new beginnings!!! I’m excited to see where this new road takes you!! And yes, do keep us posted! And yes, I’m right there with you woman! Oh, I am soooooooooooooo right there with you!! Soul sisters separated at birth perhaps?
