Changes

Joe and I have started weight watchers this week. I really hadn't planned on starting a diet but Joe insisted at least for himself. I agree with him though. I think dropping some weight would be good for ttc. We did weight watchers 2 years ago right around the time we first went to the OB. I have PCOS which typically comes along with weight issues either the person being on the heavy side or some even very thin.
I have read alot online and have heard from others that losing a few pounds sometimes help sort of shock the body enough to be able to get pregnant. I figured if we are going to go for it this time we might as well do everything we can to help things along. We are doing really well. I think weight watchers is a really easy. It really gets you looking at the packages and eating things that are better for you, because essentially they are less points or no points. Last time we did weight watchers we made it about 3 months, I lost around 25lbs and Joe lost probably 35. The reason why we stopped last time was that it's relatively expensive to eat healthy. It's funny how the veggies and low fat items cost 1/4 more than regular full fat foods. Then we typically eat Lean Cuisine meals for lunch which are around $3 each. 100 calorie pack are our best friends at 2 points each they make great snacks. but they are also $3 a box with only 6 servings. So it really adds up at the grocery. I think once you tell people you are dieting it makes it a bit easier. It makes you feel like you are held accountable in a way. You don't want to let anyone down, especially yourself. I ultimately want to just be healthier. If I want my body to do the things I want it to do I need to make sure its in tip top shape.
