Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / May 2005May 11 update, Joyce
A bit late on posting, but gonna do it anyway to keep myself accountable and hopefully moving in the right direction. Not near as exciting as last weeks loss, but a loss nonetheless. Current weight: 162.2 lbs Weight change: - 0.8 lbs I had been so incredibly good the entire week, I was really surprised that the scale didn't move more. So looked back at things and now am wondering if I was TOO good - averaged about 19 pts. per day. I am not sure how many points I am supposed to be eating, as the ww website will not give me the information. It's program is set firm at a maintenance routine for me. I am guessing I should be eating 22 points per day, with 35 flex points ... is that right? Anyway, a very uneventful and peaceful week - I totally enjoyed it. This week is challenge heavy and so far not doing exceedingly well. Lunch out thursday with my son, which we have not been able to do for many, many months (guess I should be thankful for the rain this week) ... dinner out last nite - pizza ... and out again this evening for our late mothers day and birthday celebrations. UGH! I don't think anything else appears on the calendar for a few days, so hopefully I will have some time to recover. I seem to be moving into the more challenging time of the year for me. The next few months will be tough. 2 weeks til daughters 18th birthday, followed immediately by her highschool graduation. Then I leave in a few weeks to take same daughter to her college orientation, will combine that with meeting up with my sister (halfway for each of us) and spend the week visiting. We should get home just in time for oldest daughters birthday, then a month rest before SIL's birthday, followed immediately by my son's 21st birthday celebration in Vegas. I also think fathers day falls in there somewhere, doesn't it? Whew!!! I may have picked the wrong time to worry about weightloss ... then again, maybe I picked the right time?

BUT ... a few of them I am in control of what food is served, and I keep telling myself that the rest of them I am still in control of the choices I make. Hope those hunger issues passed quickly!

The right time is when you have the motivation and determination to keep starting over. Sounds like that time is now, regardless of what's coming ahead on the calendar. Great loss this week, by the way. Congratulations on doing what works and seeing the results. Yes, we're on 22 points with 35 flex points. -- Linda P >A bit late on posting, but gonna do it anyway to keep myself accountable and >hopefully moving in the right direction. Not near as exciting as last weeks loss, [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >WW GOAL!!! 2/21/03 ---> LIFETIME 4/4/03 >PERSONAL GOAL: 5/16/03 Thanks for the point info, can't believe that I can not find it on their own website anywhere ... and that their program doesn't take into account the possibility of maintainers possibly going above their goal weight. <sigh> You also are right, probably a good thing that I have the motivation and determination NOW - or this summer would become a complete disaster. Think I proved that already during the winter. lol My son was cute ... bought me a CD last week (for no special reason!) with the song *my give a damn's busted* on it (which has always been my favorite saying) ... told me that it's a great cd but "mine" is obviously fixed. <grin> I'm hoping he's right, it feels like it anyway. Thank you. I'd like to see those larger losses but I know that even the little ones add up. Joyce >So when is the right time, Joyce. The right time is when you have the >motivation and determination to keep starting over. Sounds like that [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >> >>Joyce Congrats on the loss. Cutting to the bottom line - there never is a time for what I will call weight management. It needs to be a constant and neither mother's day, father's day, birthdays or other events can be used as excuses for excess. (so why did I eat so much home made pizza last night???) Keep on doing.... >A bit late on posting, but gonna do it anyway to keep myself accountable and >hopefully moving in the right direction. Not near as exciting as last weeks loss, [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >WW GOAL!!! 2/21/03 ---> LIFETIME 4/4/03 >PERSONAL GOAL: 5/16/03 Thank you! I know, I know ... but it is sooooooooo easy to make those excuses. Actually, I never was much good at excuses. I am a realist. I know when I make those bad choices and when I overdo things (pizza was one of my downfalls this weekend also). I did avoid the leftovers this time though ... sent them over to one of daughters friends houses. Out of sight, out of mind, out of mouth. Today I am feeling quite positive I can handle all those upcoming events. And if I don't ... I know I can jump right back into things. I'm choosing to think positive.

You do have a lot going on! I agree wth the others, it is the right time to lose weight. That is what I like about WW so much....you CAN do this plan while living life. And pizza is not a bad thing, you know.....just don't eat half the pie like I have easily been able to do in the past. Now I find, one slice and I am good. I have been incorporating pizza (1 slice at a time) into my plan, and have lost steadily since week 1. I love WW....you can eat what you want, just count the points! And I love pizza, and it is so cool not to feel guilt after having a slice for lunch. Great job....enjoy your journey. Don't put things you want to do on hold (like lose weight) just because there is so much going on. I find that when more things are going on, it is easier for me to stay OP---because I am so busy. But then again, I am a Type A....I thrive on keeping busy and stress. Take care!

And I love >pizza, and it is so cool not to feel guilt after having a slice for lunch. Oh, I did some major damage on that pizza! LOL On the bright side, it was a medium this time around and not the large size ... and I got the leftovers out of the house the next morning, before I could do any further damage. <g> That is the thing I love most about ww ... you can have anything that you want, just have to balance it into the routine somehow. The pizza worked in well, I planned for it ahead of time ... light breakfast, salad for lunch, no nighttime snacks. So even eating more than one piece didn't really cause much alarm. The dinner out the next night was a different story ... very heavy, huge dishes served family style - way too much food. I kept portions small, yet still had it in my mind that it was too much. Probably didn't help when daughter and family popped in after dinner with a huge bottle of wine. LOL! And no idea how to count the points so I just counted it as the balance for the day PLUS all the flex points. Worked it out the rest of the week. It's a balancing act that I somehow forgot to practice during the winter. >Great job....enjoy your journey.

But then again, I am a Type A....I thrive on keeping busy and stress. Thanks Sharon. Once again I am enjoying the journey. Don't know why or how I forgot how enjoyable it was the last time around (i know that sounds rather silly). In the past stress never seemed to bother me much, guess it depends on exactly what it is that is stressing me out. Right now I'm enjoying the peaceful and quiet in my life. <g> Joyce >Take care! > >Sharon aka Happycat Good luck this summer Joyce. I know it may not be easy, but you can do it!

Now looking at your following weeks and months, wow! I 'm sur you picked the right time, because even with all that's going on you will be reminded to watch your eating... Don't forget to cme and post here, it will keep you accountable. Moreover we will love to hear about all these events!

Not near as exciting as last weeks loss, [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > WW GOAL!!! 2/21/03 ---> LIFETIME 4/4/03 > PERSONAL GOAL: 5/16/03 Thank you! I'm thinking the newfound peace is really what I needed. I've noticed my entire attitude has changed. I've also just discovered that the events of the last winter seemed to have forged a new/different relationship with my older brother. In the past we seldom talked ... family events, holidays - that type of thing. Never a problem, no bad relationship, just not overly close (we seem to have "that" kind of family). The past few months he has been emailing me several times a week and calling at least weekly just to chat, make sure I'm ok. Ya know, I'm really liking this person I haven't known for a long time. I'm not going to forget my family here, and I do consider this an extended family. It does keep me accountable, keeps my head in the right place. The support is something I can not do without, as well as the reminder that the eating habits are going to be a lifetime issue for me. I learned quickly just how easy it is to fall into those old habits. Funny, they have the same end result they used to, too. <g> Joyce >Hey, a loss is a loss, remember, so well done :-) >It seems the peace and quiet of the last weeks did you a world of good.

I feel like I am once again the queen of ounces lost - but those ounces will add up eventually. I am hoping that I at least will be back in my old clothing by our Vegas trip in August. Joyce you should be having 22 points a day plus your flex, I find if I do not every single point I actually will gain, good luck this week, Lee > A bit late on posting, but gonna do it anyway to keep myself accountable and > hopefully moving in the right direction.
