Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Kris, CONGRATULATIONS AND HUGS TO YOU for reaching goal! Wow! You are such an inspiration. I'll eagerly await hearing how you handle maintenance, because I'm hoping to be there in the not-too-distant future. I LOVE your idea of confetti and horns if you become a WW leader. You are so right....we all need to be truly excited about reaching goal....and also about passing other big landmarks, like losing 100 pounds or 50 or 75. Those are BIG accomplishments!! I think I read somewhere that one leader brings a digital camera and really celebrates in a big way when her members reach goal. It would be fun to think of lots of ways to really play it up! Anyway....let us know how maintenance goes, please! Bette 278/187/175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Woohoo!!! That's awesome! ***virtual confetti*** =) Kris's Update I should have met my goal last week (last time I wrote I was .8 ounces away from it) but last week TOM came and so I was .4 ounces up!! I was cranky, irritated, and in a very foul mood (as women tend to get when TOM comes around) so I didn't post about it. It did strengthen my resolve though and so I did very well last week and this week I was down 1.6 lbs!!! Which puts me at 131.6 so I am below my goal weight!!!!!!FINALLY!!!!!!! YEAHHHH!!!!!! I decided if I become a WW leader I will have a bag of confetti at the scales to throw on people when they hit their goal. And maybe some of those annoying paper birthday horns. People just need to be more excited about hitting their goal. Okay, so maybe I just wanted a major hoop-la because it took me TWO YEARS and TWO MONTHS to reach my goal but I hung on. 62 pounds gone NEVER to be seen again. So now on to maintenance which after two majorly long plateaus I should be very good at! I need to read the pamphlet they game me and find out what is in there. I'm kinda freaked out about adding points back and I think I am going to stick with just the usual 20 per day plus all the flex points, I know I can maintain on that and if I loose some more that's fine too. I might try and go down another 5 pounds and see if I can get to 125, we'll see. Kris 194/131.6/132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Thanks Bette! ) You are almost there and your doing great. I do think they should make a bigger deal about the big land marks too. A magnet is nice and at least the recognize you but I think they should do the magnets for every 10 or 20 pounds and then have something nicer for 50, 100, and goal. I know they do the whole charms and key chains thing but a free meeting or something would be nice when you hit 25 lbs or 50 lbs. I definitely think they need the confetti though ;o) Kris -----Original Message----- Kris, CONGRATULATIONS AND HUGS TO YOU for reaching goal! Wow! You are such an inspiration.
