On the plus side worked out this am but will really have to push water the next two days with the sodium I consumed tonight ah well such is life

Sounds like you did great Nancy. You have to allow yourself to eat some yummy stuff once in a while!! I dont feel i ate the best today, because i had french fries. Had them cause i wanted them, but im pretty sure i still stayed around my daily points. Its funny, i feel sometimes that when ive eaten something "bad" i feel aweful about it all the rest of the day. Like i screwed up royally, gotta get out of that thinking. Once in a while we are allowed to have those things. I love how this plan has allowed me to finally get my head around what is good for me, and what isnt so good for me so i can make the best choices.

Went back to a WW weigh in today after missing 3 weeks. In the last 3 weeks I moved and started a new job working lots of hours. I have eaten out a lot since starting my new job too. I weighed in with a small gain of .4 so I'm happy about that.
It was most important to me to get back to WW so I am proud of myself. Now moving forward. I have been hovering at this weight for a couple of months. Hopefully now I can start losing again. I would love to get to 130!

sounds like your doing great girl. How is your new job? moving is pretty exciting! lots of work though

I was down 2.4 lbs at yesterdays weigh-in. Not bad considering the delicious rolls my mother had at Thanksgiving. I ran a 2-mile turkey trot in the morning and then was high on endorphins and ended up signing up for a 5k this upcoming Saturday! I've been finding it harder to stay on track so I went through my books and added some foods to my grocery list that I don't normally eat. Now I'm excited about some of my upcoming meals again!

Ok, so I just did my weigh in for the week, and got "you are loosing weight too quickly" back from ww. I am not sure how I feel about that.

I got it too, but I think I may have been dehydrated that day. I weigh in again on Thursday and will see if things have evened out. I have lost 3 pounds a week for the last 2 weeks, which is way more than normal. I have been biking a lot, but I'm guessing I'll have a little gain or no loss this week. But a little loss would be good!

I don't think I have ever gotten you are losing too quickly talk

As a matter of fact I have been at the same weight now for 2 weeks but I know it is my normal cycle...2-3 weeks with no loss then a big whoosh and 3-4 lbs all at once.

Well last night just for fun hubby and I went to a pub and oh my...drank 2 beers and had a hamburger...good thing that was the only meal I had yesterday and I worked out. But the plus was we won $175 in pull tabs LOL hellooooo Christmas shopping

Well I have been averaging about 4 a week since I started. I am hesitant to slow it down, because this is the first time anything has really worked for me and I am worried that I will mess it up. :/

The guideline is to not go above 1-2% of your body weight per week, so 4 pounds is right around there for you! The 1-2 pounds a week is for someone who weighs under 200 pounds. 4 pounds a week is awesome!

SocialDeimos · 11-27-2011, 07:28 PM

@Seagirl, I didn't know that. Thank you for the information!

girlsenberry · 11-29-2011, 04:19 PM

I broke through my plateau! I've been hovering at, or above, 185 for WEEKS, but I made it to 184 yesterday.. I didn't want to count my chickens, so I waited to see if it carried over to today, before announcing it to anyone, but I hit 183 today! I am officially upside-down in my loss where I need to lose less than what I've lost. 39 down, 38 to go! Here's to hoping no sabotaging will be had to ruin my hard work.

nancylmrn · 11-29-2011, 04:47 PM

@girlsenberry way to goooooo

I can't wait to get to that point! I was suprised I was down 3 this week even with Thanksgiving and eating deli from Safeway and a hambuger at a pub....go figure

Thank you! I've been soaring all day, and poured extra energy into my workout thanks to the confidence boost.

Early on when I started PP I would find that if I had a large dinner every now and again- like restaurant burger or steak- I would still maintain, if not even lose a few lbs... it's like tricking the body into not knowing what to expect... but it doesn't work like that for me anymore, only because I think I have had waaaaay to many splurges of late. I think that's the concept of the weekly points, but I never use those, and have learned I can't even eat my daily activity points in order to lose (I just maintain). The body is a fickle thing. :\

Awesome job on the 3 lbs loss this week, btw!
