Nancy | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 09:12 am     thanks spy how are you doing/feeling? |
Spygirl | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 10:42 am     I'm doing and feeling good I am now at my first long term plateau -- been about 4-6 weeks since the last significant weight loss. I've lost 78 pounds to date. That is about 16 pounds to goal, but what I need to do more importantly right now is toning. If I were to focus in on that, I would lose a lot of inches, probably not a lot of weight, but I might get down to a size 6 or 8. Right now I'm a size 10. There is still enough fat (which doesn't weigh much) to make a significant enough clothing size difference if I were to lose it. My body fat percentage is still in the mid 30's. The hair loss is still a problem, but I can see the new growth coming in. People around me say that they cannot tell a difference in the way my hair looks and that if I didn't mention it, they would have never known. The only thing they say they've noticed is a lot of hair on my clothes and coat. |
Nancy | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 11:23 am     ugh plateaus can be soo frustrating--i never really had one but i have seen it enough on the weight watchers website--I bet your doing everything right(diet and exercise) but your body is just holding unto it for all its worth! what do you do for exercise or plan to do? i have a gazelle trainer i love (low impact) and do the gym 3 to 4 x a week i find the strength training helps a lot i'm still in 10's and that ok for this 45 year old but an 8 would be nice |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 11:40 am     Congratualtions Nancy on a great effort on your part!!!! Way to go!! Good job Spy--keep working at it. I hope you can find time in your very busy schedule to get some exercise in. |
Tess | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 12:03 pm     CONGRATULATIONS, NANCY!!! |
Egbok | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 08:28 pm     Nancy, WOW!! What an amazing feat and journey you've been through. I am so proud of you!! CONGRATULATIONS NANCY!!! |
Sia | Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 06:12 am     Yay, Nancy! I'm really, really proud of you! What you've done shows tremendous willpower; I wish I were strong enough to make the commitment to changing my life that you have. Spy, I'm proud of you, too; you're far braver than I am. I salute you both for your weight loss. |
Enbwife | Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 07:15 am     Congratulations Nancy. That is awesome news! Do you start the maintenance program now? Way to go Spy and good for you for hanging in there with the nasty plateau. I experienced that before and it's very frustrating! |
Meme9 | Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 08:03 pm     Congrats to Nancy!!! and Congrats to Spy!!! Hang in there Spy your doing great! |
Nancy | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 04:55 am     Thanks everyone--I think for me--reporting here every week has really helped..
|
Nancy | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 08:14 am     OH and lisa--Technically i don't have to do the 6 weeks maintenance because i am a lifetime member..(albeit not an active one till last april.. BUT i am going to do my own 6 weeks of maintenance just so i can figure out what range of points i should be in since back in 1979 when i was a Life time member we didn't have a points systems it was all exchanges back then.. |
Yuhuru | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 09:13 am     Congrats Nancy !!! I'm so glad you're still at it. I was doing weight watchers this time last year until I got pregnant. Your dedication really paid off. I'm so happy for you !!!!!!!!! |
Jbean | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 06:27 pm     ok, here are my first week weigh-in results: lost 5 pounds! WOO HOO! i am SO excited. i had my first real day today where i just felt extremely hungry. i behaved and stayed within my points, but my stomach actually HURT this morning from growling. that hadn't happened until today, and it SUCKED big time. i just keep drinking my water and snacking on oranges (instead of girl scout cookies..lol) thank God those are a once-a-year thing only. whew! |
Jbean | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 06:41 pm     also, congratulations to you, nancy! that is wonderful news! i posted in your folder, too, but just in case you didn't see it, i wanted to tell you again! |
Tess | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 06:57 pm     Jbean, that is fantastic!! The 5 pounds, not the hunger pains. Congratulations and hang in there.  |
Knightpatti | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 08:29 pm     Great job Nancy!!!!!! I know you are very proud of yourself and you should be! We all are very proud of you and you have been a big inspiration! |
Egbok | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 09:18 pm     Jbean, that is great news!! You did good girl!! Sorry to hear about the extreme hunger pangs. That must have been so rough to deal with but you stayed focus and got through it. Good for you!! Keep making good food choices along with your workouts and before you know it, you'll be down in weight and then you'll need new clothes! I've got to deal with Girl Scout cookies next week when my co-worker brings in the EIGHT boxes I ordered from her daughter...EEeeeekkkkKKKSSS!!! |
Denecee | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 12:52 pm     Congrats Nancy!! You are truly an inspiration. Congrats Spy!! Is that a pic of you in your profile? You look great if it is. I am also a size 10 and would like to be a size 8 before June. I will keep everybody up to date on that but in the meantime- congrats to all. |
Spygirl | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 01:05 pm     Way to go, JBEAN!!!! Thank you, Denecee, Enbwife, Sia, and Lance! Denecee, that a picture of me from Christmas. Thanks! |
Jbean | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 04:36 pm     thanks guys! your encouragement means so much to me. |
Egbok | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 08:19 pm     It's a lifestyle change. It's a lifestyle change. It's a lifestyle change. Okay, I feel better now. <Eggie walks away from the Girl Scout cookies> |
Enbwife | Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 08:21 am     JBean - the hunger pains will go once you're stomach shrinks and your body adjusts to less food. Good for you for choosing fruit over cookies. I wasn't as strong as you yesterday, but today's a new day. |
