Way to go everyone!!!!
I lost another pound I think but my scales are jumping around so
I will wait for the official weigh in on Friday.
Today was the first day I felt thinner with my pants fitting better.
I have a rotten headache though so I am going to take a nap.

Found an awesome marinade for london broil. Had it tonight and it was so good. I will post it here and also on the recipe board. Am bringing leftovers to work tomorrow. Whole family loved it! The only thing I would do different is marinate it longer and possibly add some adolfs tenderizer to make the meat more tender or tenderize the meat before marinating it. I marinated it about 6 hours, but think I would do it overnight next time.
I used top round steak.

Core London Broil
Ingredients
1 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 chopped chives
1 clove minced garlic
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2 tablespoons splenda

Put all ingredients in large ziplock bag and marinate meat for at least 3 hours, or overnight. This recipe is enough for 3 lbs of meat, and can be used on any meat. Grill meat and slice thin to serve.
YUMMY!
The toasted sesame seeds are actually 1 point through out the whole recipe, but you don't really eat them so I'm sure you wouldn't need to count them.

Hi Everyone
Not staying on here long.
Went to WW last night. I lost a pound.
But now today I am not feeling very good. Started about 1:00 am this morn. Lets just say. I have spent most of my day on the couch. Or in the bathroom.
I need to go and check up on everyone.
But will do that when I am feeling better.
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Thinking of each of you.

And a drum roll please....................yes, I lost. I lost 1.8!! (Thank you GOD) Not sure how I pulled that one out, but I'll take it. I'm now down 11.4 in total. 2.8 pds till I'm free again (that will put me 2 pds above my goal!). I haven't been able to get this close to my goal since about 6 months after I made lifetime back in 2005. Needless to say-- I'm thrilled!

I love the renewed energy on this board. Congrats Tracie, Coco, Nancy (unoffical :) ) and Sloanie! We can all do this!!!

Well, off to get dd out of the shower and ready for bed. Just had to stop by to update everyone! Have a great night.

Congrats to all the "losers"! :woohoo:

I know the feeling about being back where you were. I haven't really done that, but I'm 20 pounds over my lowest in this whole journey for the last 8 years. The lowest was 5 years ago.

I'm just not going to accept this. Overall, I want to lose 40. So, if this summer sees 20 gone, I'll be very happy.

I'm taking the dog out for a walk. It's DH's turn at night, but I'm going to do it tonight just to move more.

Rhonda

woohoo!!
 

Sounds like this group is going strong. Congrats on the weight loss, chicks!

I have a question for the group. I realized today that my ww goal is 124. That goal was set when I was 28. I will be 50 in September, and I think I will be too thin and look older at that weight. Should I change my goal? Also, I'm not sure how easily I will be able to maintain 124.

Tell me what you think. :hug:, Sloan

Sloanie, per WW on line site -- age 50, 5ft 2 inches. Goal is 137. Age 25 is 125. HTH

Way to go Paula! Just stick to plan and you will be back to your goal in no time. You are so close. I wish I was that close, but I know I will get there. It's just a matter of time and sticking to plan. And I will!!

Sloanie I set my goal higher than what ww says I should weigh. My doctor already told me that if I can get to 135 he will be very happy with me. If I get to 135 and still feel that I need to lose more, I will keep going. But I am not making any decisions on this until I get closer to where I want to be.

I am doing the same thing with my goal weight. I was 124 in my 20's (now I'm 50) I want to get to 130 and decide after I hit that weight.
If I am in shape & toned I think I will just know when I am at that perfect weight.

Howdy from Texas. We have our new home but are not in it yet. The electric company needs to come set a new pole. We're still in the condo and are doing fine.

Congratulations to all of you for your enthusiasm and for your accomplishments. I just finished catching up on ya and see there's a lot of success here. I'm getting readfy to join you. A gf and I are going to help each other beginning in the AM. I am not commiting to regular exercise yet but will as soon as we get things under control here with the moving.

Congratulations to all of you. Reading your accomplishments and passion has helped me get back on the wagon. Thank you, all.

Sloanie... I am afraid if I set too low a goal weight that I will work really hard and get to a great weight for me and not feel proud because it is not the
goal weight I originally selected (which was too low). Weight watchers
told me to get to my 10% weight (150-15= 135) then set a final goal.
I know I want to be at least 130 but the I will decide from there.

Good day everyone! Well, I'm happy to report that for some unknown reason, I think my loss yesterday was a true loss. My scale was down this morning -- its odd since it was higher yesterday am hence I was not expecting any loss but maybe a gain. So, I'm happy :)

I also took a 35 minute walk at lunch and will also take one tonight with my dog. So, things are going well. I am keeping the 2.8 to go until free in my mind. Hmm, need to add something to my ticker...

For setting goals - I agree with Nancy, hit your 10% then work with your leader to figure out your next goal. Is it another 10% ? My leader also allowed me to set my goal at the highest weight for my height -- which for me works well.

Well, off to get some stuff done.

About goal weight:

Assuming that you do not have a distorted body image or perception of your size, is there a problem with looking at past pictures of yourself, thinking about how you felt about how you looked and what you weighed and letting that be your goal weight.

I'm just guessing that most people would be very close to what WW thinks is the goal weight, plus or minus ten pounds.

Goal weight info....
Under Support Forum/Weight loss support there is a whole thread on setting a goal weight. I found it helpful.

I agree with Rhonda. Goals should be realistic. Something you can live with comfortably.
