After a rough week and a half, I'm happy to report that I went down 3 lbs at
today's WI.
This brings my grand total to 69.8 lbs so far and certainly makes up for
last week's 1.6 lbs gain!

believe it or not I overslept today, I think I would lost .4 but am not sure
so am counting as the same this week, I do feel good my home scale says down
a bit, everyone have a great week, Lee

Thank you to all for your warm welcome.  It is amazing how weight and
self-esteem go hand in hand.  I know people come and go in Usenet
groups, but some reason or another I felt like I needed permission. :-/
Anyway I will use Saturdays as my weigh-in day, just as if I was

I realized .. uh, earlier today, I think it was.. that I haven't posted
about myself in a while.  Which, I suppose, stands to reason: we've been
so busy trying to get a house arranged, and around those plans arrange a
new car for me to drive to work, and arranging work in ...

will be going to Chicago so will probably not post until Friday, Lee

Everybody wants to sell a weightloss plan.  This one is free, so naturally
you'll be suspicious of it.  Don't be.  You might learn something that will
change your life.
At best, diets help you get weight down, but then you have to follow them on

The theme was common sense but really we all opened up because one
woman, who had reached goal and was on maintenance, just broke down
because her mother says she looks anorexic and now it's making her
stress eat.  Everyone was so supportive telling her she has to just get

They have either grown (unlikely, I admit) or I've shrunk again!
And after fiddling with me new skirt (cut out for a 40" hip, which is
accurate, but it needed 4" hacking out the waist and an inch or so off
the hips!), I have a nice new skirt to wear when these go to the charity

I was thinking of signing up to the weightwatchers online program so I can
keep track of my intake and exercise output.
Has anyone got any feedback on the Online thingy?

We had a great time!
Saturday we went up to Oxford to collect a friend of DH's, and took this
nice American to a good old fashioned English country pub for lunch.  He
decided Sausage, Egg and Chips was his order for the day!  :D  I chose a

My closest friend lost the war against colon cancer last Saturday morning.
We've know each other since 1981 and we considered each other as family.
I've been with him through this entire ordeal and I'm really heart-broken
for his wife and 3 children.  He was only 54.  Cancer is ...

I can sit here eating a delicious piece of after dinner chocolate and
read he should not be named's idiotic post.  I'm a lifetime member
maintaining my weight and enjoying life. Thank heavens WW doesn't tell
me what I can and cannot eat.

Sometime last year I read an article about how a woman followed Weight
Watchers with some kind of twist that sped up her weight loss.  I believe it
was in Women's World.  It had something to do with counting your points but
using one day to have more points which in turn revved ...

Well, despite the positive attitude and doing well with water, points, and
exercise I stayed the same. Looking back though a lot of my points were
devoted to a piece of candy here and there. So i stayed within points but
didn't get enough fruits and veggies in. Threw out most of ...
