Good on you for having a go. I went on my own diet last year about Sept. I originally lost 12 kg (about 26 pound) but have put back on 1 and a half kg. I simply (simply she says - it's actuall really hard) but anyway I put myself on a calorie intake diet in which I tried to eat no more than 800 calories. This helped me loose the weight. Now I maintain by keeping my calorie intake as low as I can. (About 1000 calories). Some days I eat more so the next day I try and eat less. If I'm going out I watch what I eat for a few days. I also started dancing to my fav music at night and did that about 3-4 nights a week. I have been slack and haven't done this for a while and with summer and togs on the way I must get back into it. I wish you lots of luck and just remember what we put in we must be able to use up. so if we eat more calories we must do more work (exercise).
Keep healthy!

I agree with Kim...daily support sounds like a good idea to me!
But I'd be OK with it either way.

Why don't we just try to keep this thread going then!
Everyone who's interested, just post here as often as you'd like- daily, once a week, what have you!

How have I done lately? Not so hot. I had a lot of social things in the past week where I didn't have control over the menu...I'm weighing in tomorrow morning to see what the verdict is.
Today, I got back on track, and I did manage to exercise a few times last week.
My goal for this week is to stay within my points every day, and to try to exercise 5 times.

I also need to get my h2o intake back up! Gonna go drink some crystal light now!

Late night eating is one of my weaknesses too. The only thing I find that works for me is if I brush my teeth really, really well and use some mouthwash once I'm done with my last bit of food for the day. when your mouth is super minty you sort of don't feel like eating anything.
If I do feel hungry sometimes I'll eat some raw veggies, drink some tea or crystal light or have one of the 100 calorie smart pop bags. I also really like the new Sundae topper jello pudding cups for when I want something sweet/creamy/chocolatey!

Today is weigh in at work!!! We have a weight loss challenge in my clinic. We all weight in once a month. If we lose 5 lbs we get an hour vacation time and if we lose the most in the clinic for that month we get 2 hours!!!


I don't think I lost 5 lbs but I'm sure I lost something. My home scale and work are a lot different so we'll see when I get to work in an hour and 1/2.


Oh and my recent weakness is the mini halloween hershey bars in krackle and mr. goodbar... (hey, at least goodbar has nuts in it, that's healthy, right?)

Just wondering how the diet is going? I finally made myself go out for a jog tonight with my son. We plan to do so every second night - I'll need a night to recover!!
I played my third game of touch football tonight as well. I forget how old I am. I must look a sight along side of the young girls that play - it's a mixed team. I really don't feel 38 you know. It's not fair......
Hope all are well.

Well done!! I love the concept! I would work that little harder to loose that extra with such a great incentive.

Oh, my, there's a story on the Today Show this morning with young girls that are obese - like 15 years old and she weighs 300 pounds. It's SO sad.

Just back from my weigh-in. (We have a WW program at work, so we go during our lunch hour.) I lost another 1.4 pounds this week.
(Amazing...I had a tough week, too. I had the munchies all weekend.)

My favorite WW-friendly snacking foods: the 100 calorie SmartPop bags, Fat Free Pringles, and my new favorite...VitaTop deep chocolate muffin tops (They taste like brownies, but only 1 point
...you have to order them online and they're awfully expensive, though.)

My WW packet arrived this past weekend. I think I'm going to give it a try. I weighed myself and measured my arm,waist,hips and one thigh. Did very good Monday and today. I find I have the munchies at work and on the weekends. So I need to get snacks at work. We only have chocolate at work.

Question, do I have to use all my points in one day? Yesterday I had 7 left over and I think today I might have some extra. I'm going to try the flex plan. I have 24 points a day based on my weight.

Yes, you should use all your daily points. That's so your metabolism doesn't slow down. You don't have to use all your flex points, though.

No, I tried that. I cheated!!
I find if I write like in a journal and have to actually hand write it, I might stay honest.

I'm not brave enough to go the meetings so I just bought the packet on-line.

I found that hard to do!!! I will have to go and recheck and make sure I didn't miss anything.

I don't know about that or I would not be sitting here with all this weight.

Some of the food I can't have anyway. No white bread,pasta,potatos! Nothing,nada, none. I had some real bad blood work come back two weeks ago and my blood sugar was waaaaay bad. So my doc is trying to correct it with diet and the dreaded exercise. Which I should be doing anyway.
