    minus 1.0lbs :) I switched to etools this month and I am doing okay. I don't really miss the meetings (yet) but I do miss the official weigh-ins. When I had a meeting scheduled I would be really good for two days prior. I don't really have that anymore. Even though I weigh-in at home, it just...

    yes! It was great and it would have been worth it if I ate half as much. I just went overboard. Unlike you, I did not have a strategy. Like they say 'when you fail to plan, you plan to fail.' rlbklein: glad you didn't do too much damage at Disney :) eh24fan: sorry you are stuck- it's...

    I have had a very bad few days. My great weakness is candy and I caved on Halloween. Two days in a row I ate several fun size candies and went way over my points. Finally last night I got my husband to hide the candy and told my kids when they want their candy they have to get it from Dad. I...

    Rats- I am up .8. Not too worried I am in a good groove with eating. It will come of next week. Congrats to everyone on their losses! Keep up the good work.

    Hi guys- I have finally broken though this plateau! This week I am -1.8. As of Oct 13 I am no longer doing meetings. I am on eTools only. I hope that doesn't hurt me. I was having a hard time getting to the meetings. Hopefully this will work out, but if not I will rejoin meetings. I just...

    eh24fan- We are on a similar trajectory- I started the second week in July also- and I have been stuck for the pat 3 weeks also. I have lost 6.5%. If we keep plugging away, we'll get there :) After I lose my 10% I only need to lose 1 more pound and I hit my other big goal- which is to have a...

    Haha- well I am guilty of getting cocky- and it is becoming a problem. Today is my first day of the week and my goal for the week is to tighten up- I have been taking little bites of this and that and not counting them- My weight-loss, which was already pretty slow, is now REALLY slow. I have...

    Congratulations on goal, Bumbershoot! What an amazing feat!!! Some days it seems completely out of reach for me, so seeing you accomplish this gives me (and I assume all of us here) HOPE!

    I think this is this a nighttime race, right? If so, do yourself a favor a do a couple of night runs in the final week or two of training. Also, don't expect a record time. I did the Wine and Dine Half last year- It was a BLAST but I am not used to expending massive amounts of energy at...

    today in my nutrition class I have to begin a project called diet analysis. So I have to double track everything- I still am tracking in etools but also in a nutrition calculator on the website for my text book. I think at the end of the project it will make recommendations on how I can improve...

    This is how I became a runner- the Galloway walk/run intervals. I could not run at all when I started. About 8 months after I began with the walk/run method I ran my first half marathon- and I never stopped to walked the whole time. Dreamlinda: Congrats on the loss!!!

    Tracking is a great learning tool. Even if you are going way over your points and going crazy with snacking- TRACK. Tracking bad choices or crazy days is very important because we learn from it. Tracking lets us see how quickly little bits of this and that add up. You will look back and say I...

    whoooot! That is so great. I have weigh-in today. I didn't have the best day yesterday so not counting on a great weigh-in. Will report back after. Welcome zootycoon!

    The third check-box is interesting, suggesting that a temporary maintenance period should follow the 10% loss mark. I have often hit a plateau right around that mark and become frustrated. Perhaps it is normal and should be anticipated. Also it gives "maintenance practice" which is something I...

    I don't know if I mentioned this before but I am taking a nutrition course right now- one chapter is dedicated to evaluating weight-loss plans. Here is the checklist- weight-watchers scores very well.

    Thanks rlbklein and bumbershoot- You make me feel better about the gain. It was the first time I had to log an official gain so it was a little bit of a bummer- but I know it doesn't really mean anything. rlbklein: I am so glad you have joined the conversation. You have a lot of experience...
