I had WI today and was down 2lbs
I am a sure believer that when you have a plateau, you should re-evaluate your plan, doing core for 3 weeks got me losing again. Yay!

I won't post todays menu, as I am celebrating my loss w/pizza...haha. Pray I work it off by next WI.

Good evening all! Hope you all had a good day. Congratulations Morrigan and AJsMommy on the losses. I hope I have similar news tomorrow night.

Today was strange. I started a week of training today for doing insurance transcriptions from home. I train at a business office this week, then everything will be done from home. I hope to contribute to our household by making my van payment.

Anyway, this goofed up my eating today.

breakfast a few (about three) bites of oatmeal

lunch McDonalds happy meal (burger and about 2/3 of the fries) w/diet coke

a few pretzels
a few ABC cookies (costco)

crackers w/ cheese????

No dinner yet. Off to take daughter to cheer.

Will check in again tonight or tomorrow. Have a good one.

gained, gained, lost, gained, gained, lost, lost

First time in since August I have lost weight 2 weeks in a row. Not much, but better than another gain.

This week I was pretty much on program M, T, W - not even close the rest of the week.

Today: I had 19 points and no exercise. Tommorrow I am hoping to fit in a trip to the gym for at least an hour.

Hi there! Back from a fun and busy weekend. Went on a train ride to the Grand Canyon. I am an Arizona native and had never been there. Had a great time. Unfortunately, I drank a bit too. Scale shows me up a bit. I will get a confirmation at meeting tonight. Have not been counting points. Hope to jump back on tomorrow. Glad you're still checking in Morrigan. Where is everyone else??? I hope this thread continues. It has been a great source of support for me. Have a good one. Will check back tonight or tomorrow. --Amy

Hi there. Looks like my scale does not lie. I did gain one pound. No biggie I guess. I still got my third 10 pound ribbon. I have lost 31 pounds with weight watchers since last week of January. Can you say slow???? Anyway, I am back on again. Have been to the gym twice this week as well. Does not compare to last school year when I went Mon thru Fri. My transcription job has prohibited me from doing so. Even with not going to the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays I still can not get ANY work done around the house. I have piles all over my counter of mail and girl scout stuff. I am staying on top of cooking dinner (crockpot) and getting dishes done. I have enlisted the help of Dh and kids to help with some laundry. They rotate in and out of the washer/dryer and have helped put away two whole loads. Anyway, I guess that's not hear nor there. Here is how I ended up today...

Breakfast
toast w/ spray butter 1

Snack
non fat no whip mocha 3

Lunch
ham on lt bread 3
a few chips 2

dinner
chicken 4
broccoli 0
potatoes 5
wine 2?

That's 20 out of 22 not counting activity points. Wow!!! Not too bad. Have a good night and morning.

buffalosister, I think we all have mastered the word "slow!" LOL! I started WW March 29th and I'm down 25lbs. I almost said "Only 25lbs" but...I'm trying to be positive, right!
I'm not upset at it being so slow, it's my own fault...I cheat too much. But like I keep saying, and I'm sure my WW leader hates hearing me say it, I will always cheat. So if the scale moves slower for me, so be it...I know I CAN do this forever. I know I CANNOT eat 100% on plan forever. Let's see, what am I averaging....*getting calculator out* 30 weeks divided by 25= .833 lbs a week...that's almost a whole lb a week!!!!!! Since January 10th, I'm down 30lbs and since June 2005 I'm down 45lbs ....so I am a happy camper I w/o at curves, well....I'm a member I haven't worked out in awhile as I'm into my gazelle right now, however, I'm down 38 3/4" total! I wondered why my low rise jeans were falling off me somewhat...DUH...I've lost almost 6" in my hips! I went from a 20 to a 14/16.

Think about what you've accomplished. We're all much farther ahead than we give ourselves credit for. Think of where we'd be without any dieting! I know I'd be wishing, once again, that this holiday would be different....well this time, It is! I just got a really cute dress to wear to my dads work party (he owns a company w/some family members so it's not just a work party, alot of our family comes and alot haven't seen me since last year).

You girls are doing great!!!! slow but steady wins the race!

I sort of did time and 1/2 on my 20 points last night.
dried fruit (2), bites of kid's cereal (1), more tofu salad (3), more chips (2)
ended up with 28 points

not starting out today so great either (at least mentally)
Breakfast:
2- dried fruit
3- oat bran cereal
1- creamer
2- bites of kids cereal
I also have a wicked sore throat (frog imitations are easy). I have never had benefit of not wanting to eat when I am sick in my life.
3- tofu salad
3- more tofu salad
3- wheat thins are evil
1- golden delicious
6-crackers
2-icecream
Subtotal 26:
Headed out for the gym, ended up at work
3-evil wheat thins
4-pasta with sauce
33 points
5-wheatthins, 5-toast, 2-milk for a grand total of 45 points

I don't know if I would call my progress slow and steady.
I am looking a little bit more like the hare.
Run fast, then stop for a nap.

AJsMommy, thanks so much for the support. Morrigan, you crack me up!! As long as we don't give up. That is what matters at this moment in time. I used to really look at things in 5 pound increments. Lately, all I think about is....just 19 more pounds. I am going to retrain myself back to the smaller chunks. We will see how that does for me. DH has been a gem over the past couple of weeks. Really complimenting me and saying just what I need.

Breakfast
whole wheat eng muffin w/ spray butter 2pts

that's it for now. Will post after I consume more.
