So I'm convinced that my body does not like being 160lbs (or more). When I was 170lbs (about 2 years ago) it took very little to lose 20lbs. Just portion control, no more snacking, and a little exercise. But I just couldn't seem to lose the last 10lbs (I was shooting for 140lbs). I got discouraged and eventually I gave up trying to lose and satisfied myself at 145-150 (constantly fluctuating).

Then, skip to last week, I was back at 160lbs and got tired of not being able to lose, no matter how "healthy" I tried to eat.

Last week I decided to start counting points (not officially a member of WW, but doing it on my own). I was at 160lbs.

I weighed in this morning at 155lbs! After breakfast! Yay!

I'll be posting a longer entry in my 3fc blog in a bit. I just wanted to share my little success. I feel like I haven't even *tried* the past few days. I've been staying under my point limit and yet I've felt great about *what* I can eat. I'm looking forward to losing more!

Wonderful! I am so glad you decided to give a go on your own; I knew you could do it, and it is just as rewarding.

Welcome aboard! There are many of us that can not afford to do the on-line or actually meetings. so post away!

it looks like you are on your way with your loss...feel free to join the monthly weight loss thread and post there...

and join the chit chat for the month we all grip, complain, cheer, and clap to whatever anyone wants to post

I agree! Weight watchers at home has really helped me over the plateau between me and my goal.
