Way sometimes we have to just plateau along that is part of it. to rest our bodies for a next losing spree i think. this is the way i look at it. your still doing good. the good thing is we do not jsut throw in towel and give up. but a rest is good i think. good luck to you..

Aleka, Ledom and judie hope things are going good your way.. is here.. LaDean
to everyone here on board i wish a good week.

This one is so LONG....

How are you all doing??

I lost 1/2 lb. this past week. I am feeling "not hungry" all the time now. I think part of feeling hungry when I was out of control in my eating was being nutrient deprived my D. noticed the same thing about her hunger. Now we are on WW we get way more nutrients but way less calories so it is no hardship to stay on track because we don't feel that insane hunger. The thing I wish I could do better was be more consistent with exercise. THis past week I only exercised once.

My D, her man and the baby came over for Father's Day. THey stayed Sat. night and made a wonderful meal from the WW cookbook. I am going to do more cooking from the recipe books than just winging it. I bought the "WW New Complete Cookbook" and the WW "Take Out Tonight" Cookbook.

Since I last posted I am now "54" and have become a "blonde"...I know what possessed me??? I just wanted a real change. All my life everything about me was the antithesis of "blonde"...the shock was pretty great but everyone likes it now. It has more red in it then I like because my hair was dark with platinum streaks and now it is a strawberry blonde with platinum streaks. Each time I do it the hairdresser says it will be less red.

The 3X are getting very baggy...so I am feeling good about myself and am content to put in the time doing the diet...however long it takes to get where I have to be but I am determined to enjoy the ride on the way down.

I am reading Amy Tan's book "The Opposite of Fate". Any Amy Tan fans on this thread? My D and I just love her and are always anticipating her next book.

Hey judi, no prob. I'll do it now.

Congrats on staying the course. Don't you love it when it starts to show.

My D loves Amy Tan, I'll have to get her that book. I just finished reading a book I loves, Kissing the Virgin's Mouth by Donna M. Gershten - it has Catholic overtones but I warn may be a bit irreverant for some tastes. Actually it is wonderful, it won the Bellwether Prize for fiction.

Been getting serious in the darkroom the last couple of weeks. I am developing negs now but feel I have some good stuff to work with.

OK, I'll start a new thread now.
