I'm bummed.  Today I will miss my first meeting in 8 wks.  I have never done
anything for 8 wks!  And even though my progress is slow ... it's progress.
There is about 3 1/2 feet of snow on the ground ... but that isn't the
problem.  It has more to do w/ my van not starting.
Yes, this post does relate to both the clutter NG and ASDW.  The clutter in
my garage makes it imposable to park in there.  If I could have parked in my
garage my van would have started in this cold weather.  So, not only am I
not able to go to a WW meeting ... we are also trapped in the house.
This sucks and it is 100% my fault.

Can you go to another meeting and still have it count with this week?
How about going online for some motivation? Don't let the
circumstances bring you down.

I've been sticking to WW since Jan 15 and working out hard and
although it was slow at first, the results are now adding up. All the
other times I've done it, I've never swapped out activity points.
However, I'm working out now for 90 minutes hard most days and I'm
allowing myself to use some of those.

Use the time you'd spend at the meeting to clean the garage, that way you
get activity points and help yourself both ways!!

good ideas from New Leaf and Willow.  Don't let this be a roadblock.  As
Lee suggested perhaps you can go to another meeting this week or just
have your meeting on line here.  Yes, if you have any questions or
concerns we have Willow, a certified leader, and the rest of us who just
throw in our two cents.  Hopefully this little roadblock will be gone
next week and you can start your next eight weeks and more.

YEA!  I was able to go.  I had a 1.4 pound lost this past week.  So there
was good news.
The people around me are not being as supportive as I would like them to,
however I know that this is up to me and *I* can drop weight, even if it's a
slow.  10.2 pounds so far.
Thanks for all of the kind words.

I am so happy for you and also happy that you found a different meeting.
On line groups are great for support when those IRL are not the best.
10.2 down is so much better than having it still on your body.

lol, your right.  I bought a 10 lb bag of apples yesterday and had a hard
time getting it into the cart!  Good reminder that 10 lbs counts!

Exactly Kim-- good analogy....

When I think of 40 pounds I think of when I am carrying my 5yo up the steps
when he falls asleep on the sofa..it is excruciating! It is a lot of weight
to haul esp when tired....
I piss and moan to myself ...of course!
....
Then I think-- if I LOST that 40 lbs I'd be carrying  just my own weight
total  up the steps and it wouldn't be as bad..of course there is more than
that on me I need to lose but it adds interesting perspective...

this became real for me when we took all six cats to the vet last June, I
guess I had thought of it before but at that time we had one that weighted
just in at five pounds, and they went up to 18 pounds, after the vet
assistant did their weights, we waited for the vet and we started combining
weights of cats to see how much I had lost, Lee

My best friend was always effortlessly svelte until she hit about 40-ish,
and she put on about 30 pounds in three years. Her DH went to Iraq a few
days ago (but he's been gone training since December), and she just decided
to get off her butt and do something about the weight, to have something
else to focus on, I think, as much as because she needs to. She's lost 16
pounds (in about three months) but is moaning because it's not coming off
faster. For folks like me who've *always* had to watch it, I'm mystified.
I'd be thrilled to see 16 pounds gone, I think. Progress! :-) I keep telling
her that if it comes off faster, it won't stay off, so this is just right,
IIRC.

and remind her of 2 things... skin takes longer to snap back after 40 so the
slower she loses the less sag she will have, most studies say it takes twice
as long to lose as you had the first pound you were overweight if you want
to keep it off, Lee

good for you!!!, slower is better in losing weight just like getting rid of
clutter.  It gives you, your head and your body time to get used to it with
the least amount of stress, again good for you. Lee

Use the snow to your advantage..this week I have been chipping and chopping
like crazy..I think Wednesday my output far exceeded my input caloric
wise.....
I look at shoveling as free exercise- if you can handle it..I am overweight
too  so I nothing to lose but fat over here ..of course watch your back !!

DH does ours because the cold is so hard on my bones, his back doesn't like
it at all so he does the minimum, if you can handle it and be careful any
outdoor activity is excellent for burning calories, Lee

Actually, snow shoveling can be very dangerous.. lots and lots of heart
attacks, back injuries, hip injuries and then some..

Go at it slowly, switch side regularly, and use a small shovel (less heavy,
besides you shovel longer!)
