Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi everyone, Today is a Woohoo day! I'm excited to report that I lost 2.5 pounds this week, which takes me up and over the 100-lbs-lost mark, for a total of 101.5!! I'm only two pounds from my goal now, but as I've mentioned before I'm planning to go another 10 pounds below that goal. My regular weigh-in day is Friday but I just couldn't wait (LOL!)so I dropped in this morning...but I'm going back for the meeting Friday to celebrate with my leader. Yay!!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi Bette; You are so terrific! Congratulations on the 2.5 pounds off. I stayed the same this week, and am very happy I did not gain. Didn't think I would, as I am getting ready for my sister, and husband to come for a visit tomorrow for 3 days, and have been working my tail off cleaning house upstairs and down, doing laundry, and getting the yard in shape, and have been pulling some awesome Activity Points daily. I haven't used any AP's, as my regular target point for the day was enough this past week. On most of the days I was under the target point,and probably did not eat enough, as I was too tired to eat, and was satisfied with less. Yay!! You have accomplished so much. I can't wait until I can say that. It is so awesome. Only 2 pounds to goal. Way to go, Bette! Have a super good time at meeting tomorrow. Pat from K.C. 100 lbs Hi everyone, Today is a Woohoo day!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Jeannine, Thanks! LOL! I never thought of myself as a role model for weight loss!!! But I don't mind at all adding that to my new role as what I call a Weight Watchers evangelist! Heaven forbid anyone should ask me how I've lost this weight, because they'll soon tire of hearing from me extol the wonders of WW !! Hang in there. I'm living proof that this is doable!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Bette, Congrads on your weight loss, that is a inspiration to me. I too have 100 lbs to lose I just can't think that it's do able. I'm having slow losses but want to continue each and everyday. With someone like you sharing your losses makes me feel that I too can do it some day. Thanks for being there for all of us in the group. Have a great celebration on Friday with y our leader. Hugs, Marge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Marge, I'm sorry that you're having slow losses, but keep telling yourself, ANY loss is better than staying where I was....and certainly better than a gain! Hang in there....I believe you can do it too! Thanks for your kind words! Bette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi Debi, Thanks for your encouraging words! I love your description of pushing two BIG weights aside on a doctor's scale! Great visual! I've been on program since June 1 of 2003, about 14 months now. I have to say I haven't really had a plateau. I do know lots of people have them though. My body has established a pattern of losing 2 or 2.5 pounds one week, followed by maybe a half pound the next, maybe 1 pound the next and another half to 1 pound the fourth week, and then back to the 2 pounds. A few times I've " stalled " for maybe two weeks, losing only 3/10 of a a pound or just maintaining. But a quick look at my journal usually has shown me that I've eaten too many WW ice creams that week and not enough complex carbs for snacks, or maybe I haven't eaten enough protein. I learned early on that I really NEED at least a small amount of protein at each of the 3 main meals. Also, I'm one of those people who eat 6x a day - breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, bedtime snack. It works for me! My strongest recommendation is to keep every one of your journals and look at them occasionally. You can usually find something in your journals that will indicate what is either slowing your loss or what is contributing to regular losses. I believe in those journals! Best of luck to you!
