Day 4: Dotti's Weight Loss Zone

From 2003 - 2004 I actually lost over 100 pounds with a combination of diet and exercise.  I credit much of my success at that time to the tools and resources  found on Dotti's Weight Loss Zone.  This website is maintained by Dotti & her husband Al and it shares, for FREE, Dotti's own journey to lose weight plus so much more.   There are so many great tools including recipes, Message Boards for support, and lots of supplemental information and advice from Dotti, her husband and her followers.             But for me, the biggest gold mine in that site has been the translations of nutritional information about food into Weight Watcher's Points which for me are easier to track than regular nutritional information.  And while yes,  I am sure that the Weight Watchers website might be a bit more comprehensive,  Dotti & Al have taken the time to break down this information both by food lists and by restaurant, which for me was a life saver.   And beyond that ... Dotti's Weight Loss Zone is completely free to all!

I Downloaded  this
thermometer from DWLZ
and hung it in my
 bathroom for motivation

The food lists and restaurant info pages have comprehensive information which can be a little too much to look at all at once so one thing that helped me was that I would copy and paste the food lists into a Word document, adjust the layout of the list so it was easier for me to read and then print it out and put it in a binder to reference.                                                                                                                                           I realize that there are higher tech ways to track what you eat but this site worked for me because:                                                                     1) It has all of the information you need to follow the Weight Watchers point system for FREE.                                            
2) Reviewing and printing out the food lists allowed me to mentally prepare for making informed, healthy eating choices.
