If you have 50 or more pounds to lose, or are losing, this is the group for you! So jump on in and join; you'll be sure to get a warm welcome!
Sorry to be so late starting the thread! Have been so busy getting ready for school; I start back tomorrow, and the students come next Monday.
DH and I went to WW Saturday, and I lost two pounds. Feel good about that, but still haven't reached nopay! I'll get there, though! We are doing well staying OP and walking
Linda, glad to hear you're feeling ok. Re: eating enough pts, throwing a few nuts on your salad or some 2 percent cheese in your sandwich are easy ways to get in more points, and both are healthful foods. Or maybe cook dinner with a little olive oil? I don't think I've ever had that problem (of not reaching the minimum, hehe) but I have heard of people not losing because of it, strange as that sounds. However, you are doing so well ... maybe you should just keep on doing what you're doing!!
Hi Nascar Girl! Re: time to reach goal, it took me way over two years to lose 100 pounds. And my DH is a slow loser too; it took him over a year to lose his ten percent, and sometimes he was frustrated too. But we just reminded ourselves that the scale was just one indication of the healthy changes we were making in our lives, and that our bodies were taking their own sweet time adjusting to them. (Also, a side benefit to slow loss: your skin has more time to adjust, so fewer wrinkles! At my age, that was a bonus.) Have you tried making a chart of your loss? It'll show the longterm loss better than a week to week number; so many things can affect a weekly weigh in, like TOM, salt intake, water, etc. But your chart will show a steady decline, and that's always encouraging! Hang in there; you'll reach your ten percent, and we'll all celebrate with you!
Regards,
Jan
