Yes I posted on the wrong thread so I will copy and paste... Well now we are thinking of a Nordictrack instead of Bowflex...We can buy one right here in our small town and have it delivered and set up and we don't have to mess with doing that...these suckers are very heavy...and my DH has a lot on his plate right now.... I posted this at the KT but I'll post it here too... I have been walking indoors for the last week since the weather is so nasty...I set up a little routine of walking through the kitchen and dining room and circling the table and the bar...It is actually kind of fun and I put on my ear phones and listen to the tv and I carry 3 pound weights to boost it a bit....I have been doing the 10K steps as a guide...I figure with a 10 K walk and a normal 2 thousand day I am getting some exercise...My Beloved DH is going to buy me a treadmill as I really don't like to get out and walk on our country road...I doubt anything would happen but you never know when some jerk might be desperate enough to want to do an old fat woman...LOL I am going to concentrate on eating good for the next week...I just have to get some pounds off or I can see myself screwing up big time...I am at a point so close to saying ..who gives a crap that it's not funny...and I know that is the wrong thing to do...I just have to re-commit to getting these last 10 pounds off...my body seems to be fighting it so bad.. I am going to give up bread altogether for a week or so and see if that helps...I only eat whole grain and not that much but I can't think of anything else drastic to do...I hope you all are eating good...there is no excuse for me not following my program...It's a good one and not that strict... I am feeling pretty good about my plan now so I am not bummed out or anything like that...just got to get past this 150 thing where I seem to be stuck...

Hi all. I've been doing real well for the last two days. Went to the store and stocked up on a variety of foods. I am not one who can plan their meals ahead of time. I need to be able to eat what I want at each meal or I will feel unsatisfied. I have to be a bit selfish when I want to lose weight. I treat myself to the things I like. I went and bought some boneless centercut porkchops and pineapple so I could do teriyaki with them. I got some dark rye for the egg salad I've been craving. Bought a bunch of ground beef for freezing into weighed out patties for the freezer. I keep a few Lean Cuisine frozen meals and I like the new Pannini sandwiches. I will buy the regular ones as well as the Lean Cuisines because I find a half of one fills me up fine. For snacks I usually have regular ice cream that I eat in a 1/2 cup Tupperware snack cup. I like the Jello fat free Devils Food pudding cups. I also like the new Weight Watcher's Key Lime Cheesecake and I love the peanut butter chocolate or mint Skinny Cows. I fool myself into "healthy" desserts by using a frozen pancake as a base, topping it with sliced banana, cinnamon sugar and a squirt of whipped cream and calling it "pie". Do the same with a nuked sliced apple or canned blueberry topping. For take-alongs I carry little cups of natural applesauce, chewy low fat granola bars or breakfast bars, the above mentioned cheesecakes or pudding and fresh fruit. When I know I'll be out for awhile I pack a small insulated lunch bag with snacks and a diet soda so I won't be tempted by the drive-though or heaven forbid the donut shop. I have a challenge tonight, will be meeting some Red Hatters to eat at Dave and Busters. Looked at their menu and it's going to take some doing to stay on program. I see they have rice and they have steak and grilled shrimp. Maybe they will sub the grilled shrimp for the fried on the shrimp dinner. Or I could bring my insulated bag with gel ice, order the steak and shrimp and bring the steak home for a cold steak lunch tomorrow YUM. Tomorrow is my weigh-in and I'm shooting for a break even day what with eating out and hanging out in the bar to watch some friends in a karioke contest. They won a cruise last year and are shooting for a trip to Hawaii this year.

LIFER HERE!!!! I was a bit nervous about my weigh in. At my CURVES pre weigh in I was up~~WW's scales weigh less but I still had gained 1.5 pounds on the WW's scales as compared to last Friday. BUT it was still less than my goal weight so I will not beat myself up for that!! I went into this just wanting to get anywhere under 150, so 143.5 is not bad!! I did not get another charm for my key chain, they give you a lifer memebership card:( I wanted a charm LOL!! But, my WW's leader gave me flowers:) I was so surprised and a very nice framed quote to help you stay on task:) She really is a sweatheart! I know she has to pay for them herself, so that makes it extra special. She had me come up and tell everyone what I liked about the plan and what I did that helped me make it work:) I do Core and she had me talk about why I chose that since most folks do not do it. I thought I was done and she said NO there is one more thing you did that worked best for you?? I could not think of it and the other gals were trying to help me think too:) Finally she says 'you never missed a meeting' YES!! That is true and it did help alot! She wanted the others to know how important that is:) As I was leaving I went to chat with the receptionist (a man who has lost 66lbs) he told me I should apply for a job with WW's, the leader talked to me about that too~~~I would maybe do the weigh ins (receptionist). But, never a leader you have to know too much:) I wonder how much they pay and how often you do it? I already have a 10-2 job during the school year do I want more?? Not really but then I thought maybe that would be good for me to help keep my weight off. What do you think?? It was 107 here yesterday and is going to be hotter today how can that be?????? WC what is it like up in your area??? I am going to be in Frisco in a couple of weeks and up in Santa Cruz also. Is it going to be cooler for me?? I want it alot cooler???? WC have you ever been to Half Moon Bay?? I am reading a book that part of it takes place there?? I think I will have my DH drive through it just so I can say I was there:)

LL, I had a very 'hungry' week last week, and my loss slowed down to a crawl because I had some unhealthy choices around me. Anchor yourself during this stressful time with some 1 and 2 point snacks for when the hungries ATTACK! Sugarfree chocolate pudding (1 point - yum! my fave afternoon snack), dole fruit bowls (get that fruit in with an EZ snack pack), Popcorn for when you are in a salty mood, etc. You can eat, you just need to keep the good snacks at your fingertips! (can you tell last night's talk was about Anchoring!) My anchor since last week is my snack drawer at work. When the day gets nuts, I have these 1 point and 2 point snacks at my fingertips! I got rid of the hershey kisses until my willpower has control again. and at WI last night I was down another 1.6 pounds!! You guys!! This is awesome! I did NOT lose like this on WW two years ago. I used to lose so sloooooow that it was frustrating. I never ever lost a pound in a week. I'm not sure what's the key this time. I just keep telling myself consistency is the key, and to not let my guard down. I treat myself on the weekends (we all need a treat), and I cushion the treats with a big salad first, or something like that. (like last weekend I went to a Pampered Chef party, ate the pillsbury-dough-filled treats, but also munched on veggie tray items to add 'fill' to my tummy so that I didn't overdo the treats. Update on my BUGGY problem Had the bug man here today to spray, so no more 2 a.m. cat-cockroach races thru my bedroom !!! Let's have a moment of silence for the poor cockroaches. ... ... ... Ok that's enough!!!!! ROFL!!!!!

Interesting you should say life change.

I have been in a reflecting mood this week; mainly thinking back over the 27 months since I made lifetime at WW, left WW, and gradually gained back more than I lost.

For whatever reason - hormones, age, metabolism, whatever - I simply cannot go back to eating blindly again.

As I journey back to lifetime this time around, I am trying to find ways to keep this eating style in my life consistently and for life.

Also in my self-reflection, I have come to truly believe for me, meetings are key. Not sure if I will ever get to a point that I do not need them. They aren't for everyone, but they are KEY to me for long-term maintenance.

Maybe this time I will just try to keep it interesting and always pick meetings that are at a location or time that really fits into whatever my life is doing at that time.

Tomorrow is WI for me. I had all my clothes in the laundry, so this morning I ventured into the too-tight section of my closet, and I'm wearing a pair of jeans I have not worn in over a year!!!!!!!!

TK good for you on the jeans:) I agree it is much better to call it a lifestyle change. That is how I went into it too and I struggle at times but over all it is working for me.

I weighed in a CURVES on Monday and right at my goal weight! That was a surpise to me~~my WW's WI is this Friday. Just think IF I really ate right on track what I could weigh???

I agree meetings are key, I have not gone since I became a lifer just to weigh in. With vacationss and my DH days off being Fri/Sat this month it put me off his days off next month are Sun/Mon so I will start back to the meetings~~I know that will help me:)

Gotta go and feed Americas Kids

WI was last night. I lost another 1 pound, and got my 5 pound bookmark!!! I am very excited! I have never lost 5 in 4 weeks before.

Anyway, thanks for being my anchor you all!

And my thought for the week: If your clothes have hung in your closet long enough, they come back in style! I wore a pair of skinnyleg jeans I have not worn in a long time this week!!!

Hi all....good to see everyone posting...I just got back from the gym and am doing a cool down before I shower so I thought I would check my email and a couple of boards...I am at 149 so I am really pushing myself to get on the losing track again....I have had a good day of eating so I hope to get the scale moving down...went to San Antonio to finalize a hot tub choice and went by sam's and bought lots of good staples...lots of chicken and fish and some frest fruit too...going to do some fish tonight...I love eating healthy so it isn't an issue with me...I am still doing WW''s but with a low fat and low glycemic twist to eat...stay fit everyone and keep working on it...

YAHOO!!! TK good for you!! You are doing great!!! Yup skinny leg jeans are back in style wouldn't ya know it right when I finally got my flared ones I promised myself if I lost my weight!!

Ruthie it is nice to see you~~~I agree I like eating healthy too~~I have been off track and almost lost my way. But I have doned good the last few days. I had my WI tonight and~YAHOOO~~I am right at my goal weight!! I was holding my breath!!! My leader told me I have to come back to the meetings they miss me:) Her receptionist said so too:) I told her I will be there starting next week, my DH is going on his Mon/Tues days off so it will be easier. I even helped a couple of gals while I was there. One was beating herself up over a 2 pound weight gain and another was new:) My leader had talked to me about being a receptionist at the meetings now I may think about it. I like helping people. I wish they just had a greeter job:) I speak out alot at meetings where as most gals keep quiet so it makes it harder for the leaders~~~I love to talk so no problem there:)

Have a great weekend I will be helping DD move into her 'upstairs' apt. That will be my exercise for the weekend.
