Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Tory, you are such an inspiration. I would love to be training for a triatholon a year after starting weight watchers! Unfortunately, I think my asthma would not allow me to do that. I am going to ride across Oklahoma on my bike this summer though. I'm nervous, I don't know if I can do it. But I'm gonna try!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Tory, I'm familiar with your posts, so I know you go to Curves. When I was going to Curves, they gave me a little book on the Curves exercise/diet program. (It wasn't the hard cover one, but like a little purple supplement book.) It's basically a low carb program, which I'm not interested in, but it had an interesting chapter on maintaining weight loss and " upping " your set point (or how many calories you take in). I'll see if I can find the book and give you a summary if you want, or you can try to find the book yourself. I just thought you might be interested because it talked about how you might gain a few pounds adding in calories, but it had a plan for how to do that without actually gaining in the long term. This probably sounds confusing right now, but I swear the book made sense! : ) I made a mental note to remember that chapter for when I got to maintanence.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Actually I would be VERY interested in that April. It's kind of driving me crazy because I can see the numbers with this Fitday program. I can see that I'm eating up to 700 less calories than I'm burning. Even with leaving some room for error on both ends (underestimating portion sizes and overestimating calories burned) there still is going to be a calorie deficit there. I'm really okay eating 25 points a day and some of my flexies on the weekend, but part of me kind of thinks " Well what if I'm not eating ENOUGH? Could that be possible? " Ah well. I have the rest of my life to figure it out, I guess! Thanks! > Re: Tory's WI for challenges > > > Tory, > > I'm familiar with your posts, so I know you go to Curves.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Ummm, this is interesting. I know you are a great example for the program and I am always curious how the week will go for you. It is nice that you always add what was different for you for that wk and how you done things. So many things that change the pounds on a scale, water, adding different exercises , more exercise, and lots of other things as well. Great attitude....Kallie --------------------------------------------------------------------- In Serious-Weight-Watchers , " Tory K " <msteechur@e...> wrote: > Up two pounds this week: > > Last week: 115 > This week: 117 > > Hmmm...I've been adding points because according to my Fitday software I > am burning around 500-700 more calories a day than I'm eating.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Oh trust me, I had my " ohmygoshwhatinthenameofallthatisholyhappened " moment. That's only natural, but I realized I hadn't done anything like go off program, and I had exercised, so even if it is a " real " gain, it is undoable. > Re: Tory's WI for challenges > > > Ummm, this is interesting.

But that being the case, I am surprised > you are alarmed at a weight of 117 and want to get back down. Can > you enlighten me? My Weight Watchers goal when I was 222 was to fit into a size 8, which was around 145 or so pounds. Once I was close to that I could see that it wasn't where I wanted to be, so I lowered it to 130, with a personal " I'll never get there, but I'd like to " goal of 120. Well I got there! So that's my " official " personal goal. When I got out of the hospital I weighed 106. I was told to put back on at least ten pounds. Well I kind of stuck at 115, half intentionally half not. I was eating about the same as when I was maintaining around 120. Well now that I've been at 115 for about 10 months I kind of like it here and I'm not sure I want to gain up to 120 right now. If I do then that's okay, but if I can maintain down at 115, still get plenty to eat (I eat an average of 30 points per day over the week), and have plenty of energy for exercise I would like to do that. My alarm really came from the quick jump since I didn't see any reason for it. It wasn't the number as much as the fact that it went up relatively quickly. My concern was that if I wasn't doing anything different, yet saw a 2-4 pound gain in one week, my metabolism might be slowing down. Turns out it was just the scale. My range for myself is 115-118 right now, but honestly I haven't seen over 117 for 10 months so even if it shouldn't that number does kind of freak me out. It isn't really the number so much as the idea " You've gained weight. " I hope that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
