Tara, did I have bad PPD? It was and still is awful. I wouldn't wish it on an enemy
I was doing good now for 2 1/2 months and then it slowly started to go down that awful road again. The worst part is that I make my DH miserable.
You are doing great, now don't you be silly, 5 pounds in a week is amazing! I never lost that much my first week at WW ( I think it was 2). Wow, you should be so happy. It's not such a big change for you from what you were doing before so maybe that's why you didn't have the results you were expecting. Did you take it off of your signature yet? Or are you waiting for the Official WI?
Yummm...you had chocolate, I love chocolate. Why can't that be 0 points? Now I would be melting away if that was the case
The soup was the one from the WW book. I like it, had some leftovers today, as I had a big breakfast (5point). I like to use my points later in the day.
Do you stay a lifetime member even if you go above your goal? How does that work?
Wow, your girl is talking and using the potty. That's must be exciting stuff. My DS (9months) is just starting to pull himself up on furniture (and me if I'm close enough). He's rather speedy in his walker, has it all figured out now.
How did you do with your pizza supper? If you know it's coming it's easier to plan for with points saved. It's those spur of the moment things that throw me off (okay and my lack of dedication and self control
) Tara, you've had so many OP days in a row now, you are amazing. With that dedication you'll be shedding it really fast
How often are you exercising? Is it always at the gym? Or have you ventured out for more walks on the ice? Tara how was your new bread? We don't have any low point bread around here. The grocery store has just expanded and maybe I can make a request, hmmm we'll see.
Jen, is Emma enjoying dance class now? When does the swim start again? how have you been doing with going to the gym at lunch? It must be close to your work, as you seem to be doing it more steady now. Jen, I hope you had a better sleep last night, and no more weird dreams. I can relate to that though, the weird dreams bit. I have them all the time.
Are you catholic Jen, or do you just like the Fat part of Shrove Tuesday?
I hadn't thought of that in ages, in university we would do something for Fat Tuesday, wing night or something. I miss that...
Jen, maybe you could prepare a snack in the morning when you make your lunch. Eat it on the way home from work. Have somthing easy to eat while driving, cheese cut into strips, carrot sticks, crackers with cheese and low fat meat, that might help curb the appetite for once supper is ready.
Just an idea.
Not gaining is a really good thing, it keeps the amount you want to lose from growing. Working out like you're doing now will make some changes in your body. Make sure you take measurements so that you can encourage yourself with numbers other than weight. Sometimes working out can build muscle which weighs more than fat, but in the long run burns more energy for you, (especially now that you're doing weights). Now did that even make sense? Boy can I ramble.
It msut be frustrating to not be losing that PG weight, but it will come off. I have lost my PG weight, but I gained 22 pounds just before I got PG, isn't that sad.
That was weight that I had already lost too, how depressing. Oh well, gives me something to work towards again
I have to laugh, or else I'll cry.
Jen, my DH is getting really frustrated with me as well with my whole being sad about how I look and who I am. That makes me even more sad.
I wish I didn't have such a negative impact on him. My self esteem is at a very low low and my selfworth is non-existant. I just don't know how to fix that
I am happier now with where I am in life, with being at home and being a Mom. So I have improved something.
Wow, like you really wanted to know all that
I can relate somewhat to the being scared about your health thing. There is quite a history of heart attacks in my family and I don't want to be included in the bunch. It is scary! But like they say at WW, a loss of 5-10% of one's body weight really decreases the chance of getting the weight related illnesses. This is something to strive for. And you're exercsing, that is a huge way to decrease your chances. If you're skinny and don't exercise, it is worse than being overweight and exercising, does that make sense. That should also make you feel better. You ARE doing things to make your body healthy, and you should be proud of it!
Now I should go and drink my water! (yesterday was the fist time in a long time that I actually drank all that I should
) And I'm still thinking of low point snacks....I always like the rice cakes, but that is 0 protein. There must be some low fat crackers out there that you could eat with some thin sliced deli meat and low fat cheese.
Well, this post is already way too long so I should go.

I love chocolate. And Flex Pts too!
sorry, Diana
Did you stick within yours points this week?
has Dr app.
I hope the flight of stairs wasn't too long. So was your actual weight a good thing or was it more than your scale showed? Different numbers on different scalses can be frustrating.
