I am going to jump in here too. My weight has been up and down most of my life, although some of that is perception more than truth due to frequent hearing of unkind words. In my adult life some of the yoyoing has been health and medication related...although I am quite aware that my eating habits haven't always been the healthiest.
I have lost about 30 since the end of April with about 20 of it since just before I broke my arm in mid July. (And yes, I am sure some of it was poor eating the first month I was laid up, but I also wasn't expending energy then and I have continued to lose since then) I need new clothes!! I had to dig in the closet for pants to wear (thank goodness I am a packrat and it takes me forever to get things to Goodwill) because my jeans are sagging big time even straight out of the dryer. Woohoo!!!! I admittedly still have some work to do to eat in a more healthy manner (like not skipping meals, getting all of my vitamins and nutrients and drinking enough water) and have to get back in the exercise habit once I can physically manage it.

awesome job myjohn--i know what you mean about the needing new clothes and closet shopping--what i've done lately is gone to thrift shops--its much cheaper for those in between sizes--sorry about your arm!!

juju yes its time--i'm going to ask the guy from work who took my spirit pic to do a new one for me.. :)

WTG mjh!! Some habits die hard!! Gotta stay strong, to be strong!! Keep up the great work!! Didnt someone post the percentage of mental vs physical when it comes to losing??

I keep repeating over and over in my mind...

"IF you always do what you've always done...then of course you'll get what you always got..' or something close to this famous quote!!

Never too late to change the behavior to get the results YOU want/need... change is good...

Hi everyone!

A belated Happy Birthday to you Nancy. Also want to say how happy I am for your weight loss. I know from personal experience how tough that can be. I've been down that road before myself. I had some sucess, but was hit with some BAD news in March, and have been OVERLY, over eating ever since. Today is my first day back on that road again. Found your friendly group here and am hoping you won't mind me hanging around from time to time. Keep up the good work.

Nancy

awe lilly sorry about your bad news!! hope things are getting better for you in that way--and of course you can join us the more the merrier--i find that my support groups at w.w. is one of the big factors for me doing so well and this group can also be the same way :)

Hi Nancy! Hi Lily
I'm new to the boards and found this thread today. I am joining a Weight Watchers at work program that is begining next week. I could really use some extra encouragement and support. Nancy, you have done GREAT since May. I hope that I can also acheive the steady loss that you have. Thanks for starting this thread and keeping it going!!

your welcome--look for the ww recipes thread its got lots of great recipies--

good luck--its a little hard at first but you'll get used to counting points--one thing i might suggest is to figure out the points for your fav foods and mark the points on the boxes(after awhile you won't need to) but it helps you see right away what you can have if you've got points left over--and measure out things like pretzels etc and put the bag away! (don't keep it with you or you might tend to eat more)...also try to stick to the middle of your range--don't go under your point range(one day in a month is ok) but if your consistenly under you tend to get in 'starvation' mode and it gets harder to loose--

Hi Pixie. And thanks Nancy. It's too soon to say how I'm doing with the dieting. And I haven't had a chance to go walking yet. That is my favorite form of exercise though. Lucky for me my job can be pretty physical...so I do get some exercise. Be back to check on you all soon. Take care.

** ** How to Lie to the Bathroom Scale **


1. Weigh yourself with clothes on, after dinner ... as well as in the

morning, without clothes, before breakfast, because it's nice to see

how

much weight you've lost overnight.


2. Never weigh yourself with wet hair.


3. When weighing, remove everything, including glasses. In this case,
blurred vision is an asset. Don't forget the earrings, these things can weigh at least a pound.


4. Use cheap scales only, never the medical kind, because they are always five pounds off ... to your advantage.


5. Always go to the bathroom first.


6. Stand with arms raised, making pressure on the scale lighter.


7. Don't eat or drink in the morning until AFTER you've weighed in, completely naked, of course.


8. Weigh yourself after a haircut, this is good for at least half a pound of hair (hopefully).


9. Exhale with all your might BEFORE stepping onto the scale (air has to weigh something, right?).


10. Start out with just one foot on the scale, then holding onto the towel rack in front of you, slowly edge your other foot on and slowly
let off of the rack. Admittedly, this takes time, but it's worth it. You will weigh at least two pounds less than if you'd stepped on normally.
