So long Points Plus

  • Tomorrow is my last weigh in with WW. The 16 week at work tour comes to an end. I will weigh in for the first time without my shoes. That has been a bit of a running joke.

    Since week 9 I've been calorie counting instead. I've had better success with that (9 pounds in 4 weeks versus 4 pounds in 8 weeks of WWPP). However, I stayed the same for 3 weeks and last week gained .6. I can blame that on myself, by having become complacent with the diet, fed up (that's a funny term), bored, daring, etc.

    Yesterday I went back to basics. Glucerna (diabetic shake) for lunch/breakfast, 2 fruit snacks, and a generic dinner, 1 plate. For dairy, skim milk in my coffee, possibly some greek yogurt with a fruit snack. Its healthy, its about 1200/1300 daily calories, and its kind of an auto pilot no brainer, which I really need now. I need to keep it simple, take a break from tracking everything and stay off the scale for a good month.

    Before joining WW, I lost 8 pounds on my own doing this, and I just need the simplicity of it again.

    Lovely, I hope to see you on other areas of the board. Patchymama too.

    Continued good luck in your WL efforts.
  • chicksinger, your idea just shows that we can create our own program,looks like you have a good handle on it. I find calorie counting works best
    for me, too.
  • Good luck! There is much to be said for simplicity and having something you know you can stick to! I will look for you around the boards and we are always here for support if you need it! *hugs*
  • Looks unhealthy to me - good luck on your journey.

  • Best of wishes on whatever path gets you to where you want to be, Chicksinger
