Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / October 2006On holding pattern
I have been just coasting for a couple of weeks now... by coasting, I mean maintaing my weight not gaining or losing. You know, like a holding pattern. I should feel guilty for this but I don't. I have been 200 to 210 for many years and now I am down to 186 and feel so much better... my hips don't hurt, knees, et. because of added weight to my bones that were not made for it. This point system diet is always in my mind if I am to eat some high point food and I adjust the remaing p ts for that day to still fit within my 24 pt regime. Unfortunatly, I have been having to do this more lately as I really miss eating "good" stuff. But, being 20+ pounds down and not gainning is still a success to me. I have been eating a little more "good stuff" than I should, but fulfilling my "taste buds" and today I have decided that I am ready to get back on course..... and drink my water which I have cut back on because it is no longer hot. Just thought I would share my little story with you . And Steve, don't bother to write about changing to calorie counting...... nobody cares what you think. ............Windy Hi, Windy, Good attitude! The weight will soon be going down. Hugs, Catherine >I have been just coasting for a couple of weeks now... by coasting, I mean >maintaing my weight not gaining or losing.

You talk about being in a holding pattern.....yes, I can relate.......it's been an agonizing summer for me......up and down like a YoYo since June and I've just had 2 gains in the last 2 weeks......but still hovering around the 75 lbs lost. Things will kick in for you......(and for me)......we both just need to keep it foremost in our minds......and in my particular case...........there's no way that I'm going back! I still have so much more to lose. Keep up the good work.....try to find those things that keep you motivated and stay positive.

Being down 20+ is awesome and I'm sure you do feel much better. Three years ago I lost close to 40 lbs and felt wonderful! After gaining it all back, plus more, I am back on plan and looking forward to getting back to where I was then. Right now I feel like crap - sore foot, knees, back....and to top it off a cold that is just starting, so a sore head and sinuses too!

I've lost 67 lbs. since the beginning of January and I have 21 pounds to reach goal. My health has significantly improved and I feel much better. I don't really feel guilty about being at a standstill since I'm not gaining and have really learned to control what I eat. However, I can't quite seem to get back in a losing mode and I'd really like to make goal.

I'm glad you posted! At 14 lbs lost I've reached a little plateau myself. I'm glad you talked about how much better you feel. I needed to read that. I have a bunch of health problems (arthritis and high blood pressure among others) and I'm looking forward to the weight loss helping to resolve some of them. I wish you success in getting back on track. Patty >I have been just coasting for a couple of weeks now... by coasting, I mean >maintaing my weight not gaining or losing. You know, like a holding [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > what you think. > ............Windy Thank you so much for all your kind words of incouragment. Guess What! I actually ... finally... lost one pound.... I am amazed that most of you have lost a lot moreweight than I did and still incouraged to do the diet! I tell you, this diet is awsome......no other diet has ever motivated me more. I am afraid though when I lose more weight my chin is going to hang down to where my boobs are suppose to be, my boobs hang down to where my tummy was, and my tummy down where my knees are.... thank God my knees are still in the place they started! I love you guys and WE CAN DO IT! ..........Windy > Hi Windy. I'm glad you posted! At 14 lbs lost I've reached a little > plateau myself. I'm glad you talked about how much better you feel.
