You sound like me! I too did WW and lost about 25lbs. The problem was that there was a lot of hidden sugar in the WW and other programs I tried and after the first 25 I got stuck. I cannot believe how many carbs you eat on that program.
I would reach about 25lbs and would stall. Then I just gained it all back with a few extras to boot.
I started FTS in February, 2011 and lost about 21-25lbs so far. (I say 21-25 because I seem to be losing the same 5...my biggest problem is portion control. If I can have chicken... sometimes I have A LOT of chicken.
I have avoided having my picture taken, attending social events, and meeting new people when we moved to our new town 3 years ago. My body does not match my soul. I am young and energetic and outgoing and exciting...my body just told a different story.
This lifestyle has worked for me. I have dropped some weight, even though I have so much more to go, I feel great! I have more energy than I ever had and I have four active kids... I need all the energy I can get. I have stopped reaching for coffee (no more than 2 cups per day...down from about 5-6). I know it is because I have more engery and just don't feel like I need it to keep going throughout the day! I am loving that I no longer shop in the Plus Size section and that I can run 2 miles without stopping! These are huge milestones for me!
I hear the P90X is a great, intense workout. You should start melting any time soon staying the course with the food and that exercise plan.
Good luck. And check in here often. The support from the members is honest and kind, and sometimes they need to kick my butt into place!
It took me a long time to put this weight on. I am happy that it came off quickly in the beginning, I now have to stay the course, get over the hurdles and keep going. I know this program works!
