So I had my 2nd WI today.I'm in a funk today b/c I only lost 1/2 a pound. So I am down 2lbs. this wk. which is better than a gain right? I am still on pre-conditioning b/c I have to wait for medical clearance to get on a menu plan & I think that was the 1st thing that bummed me out. I was really looking forward to the new menu & the possibility of maybe some different food options. I know it won't be many, but we have to be creative with our meals so every little bit helps :) BTW, I was speaking to one of the counselors at my center in reference to stretch marks....I don't know if anyone saw my post about that but of course she told me to up my MSM b/c I was only taking 1 a day. But she said that a lot of people at the center swear by doing the following:
*empty 8 capsules of MSM into a small container of moisturizer (thick) (my choice was palmer's cocoa butter since it "is" for stretch marks) *stir the MSM powder into the moisturizer *moisturizer "trouble spots" @ night She said that everyone has noticed tightening of the skin & some people even do this for their face, but of course they substitute & use a facial moisturizer. I am going to try this tonight b/c I found a new little cluster of stretch marks right on the side of my arm. I was thinking...ummm....isn't this opposite but apparently not. Does anyone have any thoughts on this????? |

For me, the program worked to lose weight quickly (which helps with motivation), but is just not something I personally can do anymore. I have to make permanent changes in my lifestyle and portions and it's really all up to me to do that. So I will probably switch to a WW forum. I will miss you all and will probably still read sometimes and most importantly, I wish you all great success in your journey to good health! |

Your plan sound like what I thought I would try on Maintenance. I have done WW a few times over the past years and it is a very reasonable way to eat. The weight loss was just too slow for me to stick with it for the loss, but now I feel like I could do it for maintenance and maintain. Good luck to you. |
