Cheat Weight Watchers Weigh-Ins
How to CheatBathroom Scales
Your Daily Weight
Did you know that two cups of morning coffee immediately add one pound to your body? I finally connected the dots on how this affects my daily weight! (PS: It doesn't really matter. Read on...)
I joined Weight Watchers over 20 years ago. At that time, WeightWatchers had two forms of accountability.
- Record everything you ate.

- Stand on their scales once a week to measure your weight-loss progress.

The Cambridge Dictionary offers an interesting definition for Same Old Same Old: "(informal) it's used to say that a situation or someone's behavior remains the same, especially when it is boring or annoying."

Weight Loss: Rich in Calories
Fasting Weight Loss
Rich in Calories
The general consensus is that one pound of body fat = 3,500 calories.
A man who weighs 250 lbs is 75 lbs over the recommended weight for someone 6 feet tall.
He "owns" over a quarter million calories in his "fat account" (75 times 3,500 = 262,500).
