Way to go everyone!!! I had my first week weigh in today and was disappointed to see that I had actually gained weight, but when talking with the leader we talked about the fact that last week was the first I had actually eaten regular food and regularly all week since before my recent hospitalization. My weight today was 6 lbs. less than a month ago and the same as the first day I was well hydrated in the hospital so the leader said we would just start over as my body was probably still readjusting after being ill. I take comfort in knowing that I got a good start on changing my eating and even buying habits and tried a couple of new, yummy recipes. I am going to focus this week on drinking more water, adding some other new foods and increasing my exercise as my body will allow.

I weighed in on monday and was down another 2.6 for a 14 lb total loss for the month. I am thrilled.

My husband lost 17 lbs and my mom lost 9.

I have yet to even feel like I am on a diet. I certainly hope I keep up the momentum.

WTG, Landi, on your loss. Keep it up!

Myjohnhenry, I know that exercise is the answer. I hate knowing it but its true...lol. When I work out, I lose, when I dont I dont. Just try to do a little and you'll see major differences. GL!

Well done Fabsnab, that's really great! Myjohnhenry, when your body stabilises all your hard work will show!

I've lost 0.8lb this week, total of 10lb since Jan 1st.

Great work Kitt and everyone else..you are all doing so well.

I, on the other hand, have gone backwards...so much sugar, candy, junk food etc. in the past 3 weeks.

But, since Wednesday, I have not had much and holy crap...I had a sugar craving attack. I swear it felt just like needing a cigarette after quiting. (and being a x-smoker) I knew that I couldn't give in and it has to get out of my system....I drank a couple of glasses of water and then used my secret sugar fix "sugarless gum" just to have something that tastes a bit sweet but I am not getting the sugar from. So far...so good

Yesterday was my WW weighin and I lost 2.8 lbs. this week. I met my goal of drinking at least 6 glasses of water a day everyday this week. Yay!!
This weeks goal is to eat all of my points (I know sounds strange for an overweight person, but it truly is an issue for me)and to get in at least one of my dairy servings a day.

Skootz...you will get back on track before you know it. I have combatted a lot of my cravings with sugar snap peas and I found some sugar free conversations hearts made by Necco that were a decent sugar free candy. WTG Faery, Fab and family, and Kitt!!!!

Myjohnhenry, it is not strange. I have the same issue. My biggest behavior change is having to force myself to eat. As a restaurant manager, I would wake at 3, work at 4, and eat my one and only meal at 10. If we were still busy at that time, I would forget to eat altogether. My skinny friends always shake their heads at me.

I have been good with eating more mini meals on WW but this week, I kinda fell into the old pattern. One day I only had 7 points, then the next 15. I am trying though. It is hard to change a lifetime of behavior so quickly.

Congrats on the 2.8 lbs! Thats great. Keep it up!
I find that I carry around things like oatmeal or baby carrots in my purse in case I am out and it is time for a meal. It is quick and easy.

CONGRATULATIONS Faerygdds!! Good for you, and with all that temptation in Texas too!! My dh has lost a good 30#, and was doing the pants are too big dance, and having them fall to his knees, it was quite funny while I was on the phone to my mom... I mentioned to mom, I hadnt gained any in Texas, but I was sorely tempted, I turned down the chicken fried steak, drooling over those that ordered it.... smothered in gravy too....

meanwhile, still having problems controlling my blood sugar when I cut back... its so discouraging for me!

I love the ticerfactory site!

Has anyone tried the WW frozen dinners? Are they good? I need to lose 25 pounds and my dh wants to lose 40 pounds. Portion control and skipping meals is our problem.

Thanks Landi. I thought we might try some of their products to get the portion control under control and go from there. DH probably wouldn't go to the meetings though.

Had my 4th week weigh in today and lost another 2 lbs. I am just fascinated by the fact that I ate more this week and still lost weight...I understand why, but it still is fascinating to think about. Still did well with the water...2 weeks in a row! Met my goal of one serving of dairy and will increase my goal to making sure I get both servings in this week. I didnt meet the goal of eating all of my points every day, got closer 3 of the days though, so I will keep this goal for this week. New goal is increasing exercise.

Hi Kitt Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. I love my gazelle. I exercise about 30 min a day on it. I usually have alot more energy after I use it. I just don't seem to be losing the pounds. I haven't counted my calories, only carbs, because Atkins says its not necessary to count calories. The reason I'm on Atkins is because I don't want to be on a diet where I'm always starving. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a gazelle yet? Let me know how you like it.

I've been on a real plateau. But since my knee surgery and starting Curves in Feb 2004, I'm down 30lb, but have been down about that for quite awhile... But another incentive! When I started Curves I couldn't get into any of my size 14 Gloria Vanderbilt jeans except maybe the baggiest of the blue jeans.. Then I could get into the stiffer ones and before I went to Texas I went shopping and now have size 12 GV jeans in blue and in black and even a blue siz 10!! I'd still like to lose at least 20 more pounds.

Way to GO, Faery!! I did fine in Texas but then went into hibernation the week I got home, no Curves and I ordered a huge pizza!

Reader.. the pants are too big dance is FUN!! Good for him!!

Lost no weight this week, but I am seriously changing my body shape... I'm building muscle and that's ALL that is important to me right now.

Congrats to all this week...

Hypermom, we tried the WW meals and hated them but we love the Lean Cuisines. They taste better, are cheaper, and have the same amount of points, you just have to do the figuring yourself. We do love the WW desserts though.

Congrats to all the losers! I am down another pund for a 17.2 loss in 6 weeks.
