Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / May 2005The plan is working!!
I always surprise myself when I actually stick to the plan for a while. I did manage to track all last week, and despite ending the week about 5 points over my weekly target, I still lost weight. On my home scales I went from 73.5 to 72.7, and according to my official weigh-in on Monday I was down 0.1 from my December weight (see sig). This morning I'm down to 72.2, so the loss continues. Goals for this week are to continue tracking (it's easy to get back into the habit after a while, but it took about a week to get into the swing of it), and to end the week at or under my points target. I'm going to try a different meeting next week to see if I can find a decent leader. Last week's topic was good (Don't feed your feelings), but the leader left a little to be desired. Overall goal is to get down to my elusive personal goal weight and to stay there for a while! I have determined that my bribe/reward for getting there will be either a new suit for work or a nice pair of earrings. It'll all depend on how much cash I've got when I get there :) And happy Australia Day to all :) It's roast lamb, pavlova and lamingtons (http://www.aussie-info.com/identity/food/lamington.php) all round over here!

Indeed once you get into the habit of tracking it works wonders. So how many points in 1 Lamington ? They sure look good!

Tracking really is the key for me. I don't *think* I need it all the time, but if I want to lose a bit I certainly know what to do. Lamingtons are surprisingly low in points because the sponge cake is fat-free. I counted mine as 2.5 because it was pretty small and wasn't filled with anything. You can get larger ones that have jam and cream in the middle of them and they run at about 5.5 points or so. Better than a slice of mud cake!

You have my sympathy. I'm *paranoid* about keeping my anti-virus software up-to-date and with good reason. Yesterday I got an infected email - the attachment was a p*rn dialler programme. Thankfully the anti-virus software recognised it and dealth with it immediately, so no damage done. Cheers, helen s >> Argh. It's back now.

I'm running Spybot now too as another line of defense. *And* I promise to keep everything up to date. Thankfully my DBF is highly techie, so did all the re-format and rebuild - I just had to reinstall all my programs. I don't know what I would have done without him....

Just before Xmas, I had some kind of nasty virus and also had to reformat my hard drive. The virus had completely disengaged my Norton and wouldn't let me do a 'live update' to bring my protection up-to-date. On top of that, I had some kind of malicious spyware running in the background that could not be eradicated with Spybot, SpySweeper, OR Ad-Aware. Good grief. I spoke with a guru at work, and he told me that he "scrubs" his hard drive at least once a year to clear the registry and get rid of all the parasites. Still, it's all scary stuff.... and definitely worth investing in a cd burner for backup!

Still, it's all >scary stuff.... and definitely worth investing in a cd burner for backup! I lost my entire system a couple of months ago - hard disk crashed, motherboard burned out (BIOS corrupted) and I lost 14 years of data because my backups had been corrupted! So, now I have a portable plug-in, USB hard disk that I can back-up on to, unplug and put away in the cupboard. I also burn CD-ROMs as backups and I have a USB datastick which I use for vital files that I cannot afford to lose. I have three anti-virus systems, including Nortons and AVG, two layers of fire-wall, three anti-spyware softwares and probably a few other things knocking around, like a registry editor (not recommended unless you know what you're doing). Belts-and-braces - you can't be too careful! SignatureAnna (in UK) Start Weight: 174 lbs Goal Weight: 146 lbs Current Weight: 165 lbs There is no need to "scrub" your hard drive once a year if you are careful on the net. DH is a techi (we have our own store - repair shop) and he hasn't had to format his drive and reinstall everything for about 3-4 years. It was 2+ years before we had to do mine and the only reason we did that was my motherboard had a problem and needed to be sent for warranty, so I got a different one and we figured that backing up my drive and reinstalling my software, then recovering my backed up data was the best thing to do - to reduce the chances of any problems in the future. We've found the biggest culprits for causing problems such as spyware are teenagers between the ages of about 12 and 20. For instance, last week we had a machine in that had 10,000+ spyware applications plus several viruses. >>>> Argh. It's back now.
