Many folks, including myself, hit weight loss plateaus. Very frustrating indeed! You get on a roll, lose a certain amount of weight, then......nothing. You workout longer, watch every morsel, and perhaps you even cut out a few more calories everyday, and still, nothing works.
What to do? Well, one afternoon, I was looking for an answer to my dilemma, anything to help me get the weight off again, even if it was just a half a pound a week. So, I went searching on the net, and I found the "Wendie Plan". Those who are on Weight Watchers may be familiar with her plan. However, I am not on Weight Watchers, preferring to count calories myself. So, using the Wendie Plan, I figured out how many calories are equal to Weight Watchers points, and have decided to try and see if it works. Others who are counting calories have tried this method with very good success. I am going to try it myself, and chart my progress.
For those who, like myself, would like to just know what this method is in calories only, I have created a chart below that lists the Weight Watchers points and the equivalent of calories on the Wendie Plan. I am going to have my Super High Days on Sundays, as that is the one day a week our family has a sit down dinner, or goes out to eat when we're doing something together or visiting family or friends.
I'm hope this point/calorie conversion will help you out! Please let me know how you're doing on this, if you're following the Wendie Plan. I'd love to hear from you! Good luck, and here's to our weight loss success!
