Jenni, 10 lbs in 2 weeks is awesome. Don't get discouraged. I think your frustrated because you lost 8 lbs in the first week, I was. I expect to see great results each time I go. Your going in the right direction! I agree with you that thin people are not thin because they eat what they want. I was an a golfing weekend last fall and 2 thin ladies were talking. We were talking about weight, and they both said that they didn't and couldn't eat much - they had to cut back on things so they could stay the way they were. That made me realize as well that "thin people are not thin because they can eat what they want, it's because they decided to watch what they eat to stay where they are now. We just have to change the way we think! We have to eat to live - not live to eat.
Wonder where Diane has been?
Hi Meltin, it could be the plan your on - and believe me - I feel your pain. That is how I felt last year when I thought I was watching what I ate. Discovered with LA that I actually needed to eat less to lose. I'm on the Gold Plan, and some days are hard - but it's working when nothing else has worked in the past few years... I haven't read old posts, so forgot what color plan your on. Maybe after your done nursing you won't be as hungry and can choose an alternate plan? Ask the center how many calories the plan your on totals. That should tell you if it's low enough to lose weight. Personally, I look forward to the LA Lites each day. But, if I was going to eat something off plan I would skip the LA Lite that day, they are about 170-190 calories each.
Beach, I have had problems posting in the past. Just keep trying like you did. I also agree that if you keep doing what you've always done - how can we expect to see any results! You have a successful attitude!
We all are going to make it to our goals - I can feel it! WW says to try chanting. Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself something positive that you will do that day - something that you can keep repeating in your head. Something that will assist you that day to stay OP.
Jenni, when I started at my center - the ladies were horrible. I complained to my sister who goes to a different center. She told her center what I had to say and within a day or two the regional manager was there with a group of new people - I think they were gathering information from clients. Well, when I saw the new people I complimented them, stating "it's the first time I saw anyone smile in the place". Since then, they have moved people around - seems like my center has a new person just about every week. I'm glad it worked out this way. By the way, if there is someone you would rather see, and they are working the same time your in, you can request to see that person. My sisters use to love this guy Mike - they requested him and loved him. He is now a manager at another center about 50 miles from here. Please - do something so you don't get discouraged. Your not being petty - and it's not like we are going to the center for free. We pay good money, including the LA Lites - so let them do some work for you! Ask questions, make them tell you how much you have lost. I did that yesterday and it ended up being a nice visit.
Have a great evening, I better stop before meltin has to start another new thread because of me.
