Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / May 200418 weeks
It's now eighteen weeks into my diet and I have another loss, albeit small. Only 1.7 pound loss for the week but still a loss! I'm switching from calorie counting to Weight Watchers points, still eating the same things but counting them in a different way. I'm still amazed at my increased energy and decreased pain. I've done all the yardwork I can do for now (budget constraints) and am now redecorating and reorganizing my home office. New paint, rerouting wires and cables, sorting/organizing/tossing. Right now everything is in a state of disarray, and the old me would have been discouraged because back then I wouldn't have the energy to finish, but for me now it's exciting! Can't wait to finish and then take on my next project.  SignatureDewolla Stepon 268/218.1/199 154 at age 28 280 at age 53 Did you plant any food Dewolla?

This year, we bought tomato plants, (planted about 11 plants) but next year we will start with seeds. i ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- char*p="char*p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} "It's never too late to have a happy childhood." >It's now eighteen weeks into my diet and I have another loss, albeit small. >Only 1.7 pound loss for the week but still a loss!

The ideal loss rate to keep it off is 4 per month. Doesn't matter that every dieter in existance wants to feel that is slow. Reality is just plain irritating at times. Celebrate the loss without wrapping it in words that discount the impressive acheivement. No self deprecation! > It's now eighteen weeks into my diet and I have another loss, albeit small. > Only 1.7 pound loss for the week but still a loss! 10 weeks to your goal, nothing wrong with that rate. Isn't it said the slower you lose, the more likely you'll keep it off?

You're doing a fantastic job of losing at a steady rate. 1.7 pounds is great for a week. I attended my first WW at work meeting today. It's been quite sometime since I counted points. I'm going to track the points but still enter food into Fitday so I can see the carb/protein/fat ratio and watch the calories. If you run out of projects around your house, I have plenty<g> I still need to clear the raised vegetable garden and plant some tomatoes. I haven't decided what else I'll plant this year. My daughter, son-in-law and two granddaughters do most of the yard work for me. I get to play in the flowers and small garden. Beverly > I'm still amazed at my increased energy and decreased pain.

Don't know if I'll ever run out of things that need doing, but I appreciate the offer! =) Our neighborhood has hundreds of yard sales at the end of August, its a 40 year tradition. I've been going around the house and garden shed and looking at everything with a critical eye, boxing up a lot and rearranging/consolidation what I have left. You wouldn't believe how much more room I have! One empty bedroom closet, four empty shelves in my garden workshed, two empty drawers in my bureau, and a garage with nothing in it except two cars and the water heater! - Dewolla You are doing terrific! Is that 50 pounds? My math is sort of bad. If it is fifty, go to the grocery store and consider ten of those five pound cans of crisco. You have lost the equivalent. Good job. j > It's now eighteen weeks into my diet and I have another loss, albeit small. > Only 1.7 pound loss for the week but still a loss!

Yep, just .1 pounds shy of fifty. I was a little lower weight a few days ago but I only count my Tuesday weigh-ins. For a comparison I use the fifty pound bags of sunflower seeds I feed my squirrels and birds. It seems unreal that I've been lugging all that around for several years - no wonder I've been achy! Thanks for the encouragement! - Dewolla > Yep, just .1 pounds shy of fifty. I was a little lower weight a few > days ago but I only count my Tuesday weigh-ins.

It's no wonder my back feels so much better - I was carrying around 2 of those bags of seed :-( SignatureWalking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude!

A 1.7 lb loss is very good, especially if it is fat and not muscle loss. I also enjoy the increased energy and endurance I now have. Mary M 325-156-145 |
