Keep doing what you're doing. You've been doing an awful lot of tae-bo lately and I'd be willing to bet that you've been gaining muscle and that might account for the slight gain! You are doing an awesome job and you'll get there! Just try not to let this little gain get you down! You're doing awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2000 Report Share Posted March 25, 2000 Do I detect an attitude about a 0.4 pound gain? You do realize that: .... progress isn't guaranteed to be a straight linear progression? ....maybe it's time for SOMEONE ELSE on this list to be the weightloss queen of the week (hmmm, maybe Angie?) .... it's probably MUSCLE gain due to doing the Sonja/ workout yesterday! (YIKES that was a tough workout!) ..... that you are talking about less than a pound, less than 1/2 of a pound and that could be due to someone moving the scale, sun spots, the drink of water you had just before you went in for your weigh-in, the elastic in your new underwear, barettes in your hair, your TOM, "heavy" thoughts...... ....and most importantly, it's almost a guaranteed 0.4 pound weight loss for next week, you nut! Your "punishment" for this display of negative attitude is to drink 2 extra glasses of water today and spend 2 minutes looking into the mirror telling yourself how beautiful and strong you are, you conqueror!

I assume it's because more work is required to create the same amount of intensity for a larger body than for a smaller one. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet, When I was doing WW...I consistently ate at the top of my range and sometimes even went over and still continued to lose steadily. 20 pts is the bottom of your range right? Don't you have like 20-27 pts? I think that's the way it is here. You might need to eat towards the upper end of your range, especially if you are using all your points healthily and still feeling hungry. I'm not sure if it's changed since I was doing WW, but they used to require you to do at least 20 minutes of exercise and then for each additional 20 minutes of exercise you did, you would get an extra point. Thus, doing an hour of tae-bo each day would give me 2 extra points bringing my range to 20-29 pts. Like I said, this might be different now...but that's how it was when I was doing it. I just wanted to let you know that my experience with it was to eat more because I still continued to lose. I know it's hard to change your way of thinking about that...eat more to lose weight goes against everything we have ever believed...but, sometimes it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2000 Report Share Posted March 26, 2000 Hi , Here in the UK,We don't get a " Points Range " inbetween 140 pounds and 168 pounds you are allowed 20 points a Day! I find this Tough to adhere to,as I eat LOTS Of fruit-sometimes 6 pieces a Day--Plus !!! WHEN I stick to 20 points,I get very Hungry-so since doing tae-bo every day-bar Friday! I had To eat more--What with working full time as well as Children--Bal di bla! I Just wouldn't get through the day without Upping It! I think I a Going to Try and Adopt The US Way of doing it--although Points vary so to ours! and Like you say--so long as It is Healthy--nearly always when I have gone over it has Been With Fruit--Melon and Strawberries,Raspberries and Oranges--In the evening--so! I don't see that Could Jepordise do you? anyway! Have to run--work to get to-- Thanks for the Tips.

Janet, Yikes....only 20pts! That's tough...I am the same as you, I would have a hard time eating that few points. I think as long as you are making healthy choices (fruits, yogurt, healthy snacks, etc.) that you can go over your points and still continue to lose weight. Just listen to your body....if you are hungry than you definitely need to eat more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
