Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / November 2003NYNY update - Joyce
Here ya go, <drumroll please> ....................... officially broke into a new decade at 129.5!!! It's a small loss of .5 from last week, but I've been flirting with this number for a few weeks now. Sure was nice to see it hold firm this week. <grin> Probably won't last long, but I don't care ... I'm enjoying the moment! LOL And before you ask, Fred ... NO! I am not shooting for that 100 pounds total. <grin> Joyce WW starting weight: 228.8 - 2/5/02 current weight: 129.5 total loss: 99.3 Lifetime: 4/4/03 Wow, that is superb, Joyce!! Congratulations on dropping that 1/2 pound I getting under the 130's ;-D I know you will be dancing in the clouds for some time to come.

Hub decided he wanted to go out last night, to one of those places that cooks the food at your table ... rice, veggies, etc., asian style (I think). We both chose Salmon and Chicken - but everything was cooked with loads of fat/oil and soy sauce. It was yummy and I haven't done it for well over a year, sure enjoyed myself ... but am going to have to get my butt back in gear from now until Thanksgiving. Joyce >Wow, that is superb, Joyce!!

You sure are close - unconscious effort perhaps - but, if so, you cannot answer anyway (g) Congrats on that 1/2 pound.

I have wondered ... am I close enough to the 100 mark that when people ask the inevevitable *how much weight have you lost* ... that my answer could be 100? Or do I stick with the *just under 100 pounds* answer? <g> Joyce >I somehow missed the meat of this message the first time. Congrats on the >half, it was a biggie. And hey, shooting or not, 100? Wow.

Absolutely. Just a few days ago, a friend asked how much I've lost. When I answered with the truth ("fifty-seven point two"), the response was "Wow! Sixty pounds!" I realized in that brief exchange that the only people who care about precision are your doctor, your WW weight tracker, and you. The rest of the world wants nice, round numbers. So give'em what they want! Prairie Roots 232/173.6/WW goal 145 joined WW Online 22-Feb-2003 >Thanks Lesanne.

Well maybe I'll just go with the nice even 100. Not this week though, have a feeling that Friday is NOT gonna be kind to me. <G> >Just a few days ago, a friend asked how much I've lost.

So >give'em what they want! You probably are right. I didn't tell people the exact number as in tenths, but would always go down to the even number ... then they would come back with the higher *ten*. Go figure! Joyce >Prairie Roots >232/173.6/WW goal 145 [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >>>> >total loss: 99.3 >>>> >Lifetime: 4/4/03 I'm back.... (g) But seriously, I was way down the group when I thought about what a difficult position - there is something magical or tantilizing about those decade numbers and I have to guess like me with 160, you will not be happy going above it and to safely stay there, you will probably force the issue and hit that 100 in any event???? Of course, I'm more interesting in clothing and not paying which makes staying below 160 a bit more attractive so maybe you won't have an issue. Whatever (G) >Here ya go, <drumroll please> ....................... officially broke into a new >decade at 129.5!!! It's a small loss of .5 from last week, but I've been flirting [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >total loss: 99.3 >Lifetime: 4/4/03 It's not quite an issue, but you did hit the nail on the head. The *decade* number is now ingrained in my brain. It's going to be rather tough staying here without hitting that 100 pound reduction. While the payment option isn't an issue with me, the clothing still is ... another valid reason to stay where I am. Joyce >I'm back....

I'm glad posting my experiences helps others, but I have to admit that staying active on this newsgroup still helps me... and I need/want the help! It might be an accountability thing, don't know. But sharing with others, talking, reading others successes and trials - all help to keep me focused where I want to be. I do fear that if I wander off, I'm going to sink right back into the old problems. Joyce >Wow Joyce, I'm impressed.

That's why I'm here too. You inspire me, I hope what I say helps someone else, and so on. By the way, I neglected to offer extra congratulations about that new decade you're seeing on the scale. Congratulations. From what I know about you through your posts, I expect that now that you've seen it, you'll never again be satisfied with anything higher. <G> Prairie Roots 232/173.6/WW goal 145 joined WW Online 22-Feb-2003 >Thanks PR.

Monday and Tuesday saw me lower in the decade ... today I was totally depressed to go back up into that old decade. Silly me! I know the scale swings, I know the routine - I did not handle it well today. No amount of reasoning or logic would stick into this thick skull of mine. Joyce >What you said. That's why I'm here too.

[quoted text clipped - 41 lines] >>>>total loss: 99.3 >>>>Lifetime: 4/4/03 What is it about weight that makes normally rational people like us lose our reasoning abilities? I can get so down on myself over .2 lb, even though I know there are all kinds of reasons the scale moves up or down that have little or nothing to do with eating. I'm beginning to suspect that becoming comfortable with the fluctuations-- and knowing the difference between them and real weight gain-- is probably a big part of long term maintenance.

Weekly I am getting the scale feedback and I probably do know that one piece of chocolate cake as bad as it might be should not reflect a LOT on the scale and so any upward movement is probably the fact that there was too much broccoli or other bulk or salt and water and not a real substantial gain. So unless I totally blow away an entire week or more, there should not be any permanent harm and a bit up should not be bad. Now - keep repeating to self - FRED!!!! >What is it about weight that makes normally rational people like us >lose our reasoning abilities? I can get so down on myself over .2 lb, [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] >>>>>>total loss: 99.3 >>>>>>Lifetime: 4/4/03 I don't know, and it was only a one day swing for me ... just somehow got the best of me. Maybe I was overdue as I've handled these swings so well in the past? Swings are definitely a part of maintanence, and we do need to learn how to keep from letting them destroy us. They make sense! I know of no one that can stay the exact same weight each and every day, it has to be impossible. We are no longer trying to lose weight, so how can we expect the scale not to tip up and down? I know this, my brain knows this ... but still is sometimes hard to accept. Joyce >What is it about weight that makes normally rational people like us >lose our reasoning abilities?

I go to meetings and sometimes I want to go a second time because I am having a rough day. to ask DH to drive me 35 miles, which he would do is a little hard for me to ask so before I ask him to do it I come here and read and that usually works.
