Liss, how much have you lost since you started? I seem to recall it is an astounding amount.

So every Friday I am posting my loss and my loss for the week is only .2 of a lb but that's ok with me. On Monday, I was up 1.6 lbs (Halloween party with lots of goodies) then yesterday I was down a 1.2 lbs but then I had homemade chicken alfredo (with whole wheat noodles) and my loss for the week ends up only being 1/5 of a lb. At this rate, I'll hit my goal weight in about a year!! Or I could just not eat so much, lol.

I'm at 23lbs so far, but I did splurge on a bagel with cream cheese this morning. So, I'll have to account for the rest of the day and probably tomorrow.

Good job, Twiggy! Good job, Liss! Good job, everyone! Me? Well, I'm finally getting over my head and chest cold. The cough is getting better and my head doesn't feel like it's pounding all the time. Working out was the last thing on my mind...I was wondering more where they were going to bury me. Funny thing is...I didn't lose my appetite at all...they say starve a fever and feed a cold...welp, that's what I did. I'm back up a few pounds, but starting Monday I'm going to try to get back into things. Exercise more and eat less calories. needs to be my mantra...

juju - I lost 103 or so but have put on 35-40 lbs so net I'm at about 73 lbs. I hit lifetime at ww but because I'm more than 2 lbs over goal I have to pay until i'm back under 2lbs over goal. the moral of this tale is - never ever stop going to meetings. And stay when you do go to meetings. denecee - my advice is pick a day and time of the week and let that be offical weigh in time. It's taken me a loooooooooooong time to get there but now that I am, I'm much happier letting my wendesay evening weigh in's be the offical time. And don't discredit any loss no matter how small. My motto is 'down is good.' Also take a look at your loss patterns - and most if not all woment have a pattern. you should see something along the lines of loss, loss, maintain or small gain, big loss that coincides with your cycle.

gain of .4 lbs. Between two 'food events' over the weekend, a sore back that has my activity level lower and ibupropin for my back (per my ww leader otc pain meds can make you gain a bit of week) I think I did okay.

I am down 7 pounds since I started my program on October 1. Not huge, but it's going in the right direction, anyway. My goal was 10 pounds by December 10.

Denecee, why be ashamed? Who says every day of a diet will be a weight loss? I'm learning not to worry so much when there's a slight gain. That's my resolve anyways!!

I'm now back into regular sized clothes. It's nice to have a much better choice of clothes again. I'm packing for our cruise next week and fitting back into things again. I'm going to keep going with this diet. I think healthy eating is a lifelong choice! YAY Yankee!!

You know I wonder about the scales. Do they check them before weighing people weigh in? I saw something on the Today show today about diet supplements. They were warning about the dangers of many of them. I've tried a lot of them and had different results. One diet pill caused my heart to race and another pill caused me to have a killer headache (Trimspa). There just aren't shortcuts. Also, I wonder about these diets like Jenny Craig over the long term.

There was an article in the paper that said the biggest contributer to people losing weight was their own diet and exercise plan. I agree.

I believe ww calibrates their scales monthly - or is supposed to. Now curves where I go - uhuh (not to mention the fact that they moved the scale from a hard wood floor to a carpeted area between when I was weighed the first time and when I weighed the beginning of the month. as for those supplements - i don't take that stuff because of the other medications I'm on - one specifically says don't take herbals and such while on it without checking with a doctor.

Hi everyone! I am joining the weight loss boat! Actually, I joined it about 2 1/2 weeks ago. And let me join in on Herckle's praise of SparkPeople.com. That is a WONDERFUL site. There are so many supportive people, groups that you can join that have people who are in the exact same place as you, and then there's the food tracker, and the exercise tracker. I am down 15 lbs since I started! All I'm doing is eating healthier, watching portion sizes and exercising 5 mornings a week! I love it!

I've been badbadbad...I'm afraid to get near the scales. I'm like the alcoholic that takes the little sip and the next thing you know....he wakes up in a strange hotel room...not knowing how he got there....3 days later. I don't know how it happened, but I got this really bad head and chest cold; battled that for a couple weeks and then smashed my finger really bad... ::big sigh:: I've fallen off the wagon and with the holidays coming up...
