YEAH ME!!

[Guest guest]

I am 8 pounds from reaching my goal weight of 130!!! Actually, I

would LOVE to make it to 120, but I will be happy making it to 130,

cause I know that it would just be a hop, skip, and jump to the next

goal. I started out at the heaviest I have EVER been in my life, 167

pounds. When I saw a picture of myself back in march, I had a fit!

(actually, I was ill with a virus in march, lost a couple of pounds

due to being sick, and decided that when I got over the virus, I

would start a weight loss program, and I found ww points, and boy,

does it EVER work for me, never hungry, I eat all throughout the day,

and lots of veggies!) I am 5'2 " tall, 46 years young, and now I weigh

in as of 6-24-05 at 138!! YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!! I usually dont weigh in

until sunday morning, but curiousity was getting the better of me

today. I usually lose about 1 1/2-2 pounds a week, and havent hit too

many plataoues (SP?) so I am so happy! As I said, I am NEVER hungry,

eating the way I do, I have breakfast at 6 am, then a couple of hours

later, I eat a low fat granola type bar, around 120 calories

(sometimes I will even have a cookie, long as I count it into my

points plan) then I have a veggie platter for lunch, then another

snack a couple of hours later, be it a piece of fruit, or granola

bar, and count my points, then for supper, I have a veggie platter,

small serving of a low fat type meat, OR veggie soup with a little

ground beef in it (I use stir fry veggies in my soup, and I LOVE it!)

or I may even have a ham or roast beef (deli slice) sandwiche, with

mustard, kosher dill pickle, and a slice of onion on it, very

satisfying to me. I also take a multivitamin daily, and a biotin

tablet, calcium supplement, because I dont like anything but whole

milk, I do use fat free or low fat yogurt as a calcium dairy, but I

make sure I take ALL my vitamens. I walk 2 miles a day (that doesnt

seem like much, but you havent seen where I live.......up hills, down

hills, the whole two miles, I get a good work out, believe

me......and I enjoy it.) But, I have a question: Since I am always

full after eating my points, when I get to goal, HOW do I STOP

losing, I dont know if I can eat more, as I have never been an over

eater, just didnt make wise, healthy choices? I dont want to gain it

back, but I want to keep eating healthy, will I just stop losing

weight when my body has reached its ideal weight? Any thoughts on

this? Just curious. Kathy
