Congrats on the 5 lb loss, Alice!!!! That's awesome!!!

Thank you!!! I just got back from my weigh in and the official scale is nicer than my scale is, so maybe I need to stop weighing myself at home.
Thank you every one for being so supportive to me this week. It really helped so much!!!

Congratulations on your loss. What was the "official" number? I, too, am addicted to weighing myself every morning. I just can't help myself.

I'm just back from my WW meeting and I was down 1.0 for the WI. Yea! I needed that after the last couple weeks of gains. I'm still 5 pounds from goal, but getting closer. In fact, the WW receptionist suggested that I talk to my doctor about getting a note for a higher goal weight than what is on the WW chart. She knows I've been playing with this same 3 pounds for 3 months and knows how frustrated I've been getting. I have a physical scheduled later this month, so I'm going to talk to my doc about that. I think she'll give me a note. It would only be 3 pounds above the top range for WW. What do you guys think about that? Am I throwing it in too soon? (I've been at it this time for a little more than a year. I got lifetime about 10 years ago after losing 40 pounds and have been on and off WW since. This time I've lost 32 pounds so far. My plan is to never be "off" WW again!)

This week's meeting focus was on eating out. Heck, I think if I got rid of all of the food at home and just ate out, I'd do better. It's the night time munching and weekend grazing that I find most challenging.

First of all Congrats on your loss this week girl!!


Sandi, I too have been thinking about this too. I am going to give it a little more time. I have been stuck before but not like this. I think my body is 100% happy where I am. And I am happy about my weight the last 10 is just to make lifetime not about the number. Anyway, as long as you are happy with where you are I say it is something to consider.

 

[Alice_in_Wonderland]

Sandi-my official number was 5lbs down.

Congrats on 1lbs down!!! Personally, if it were me, I would get the note from the doctor. If you want to keep working on getting that 3lbs down it might come off easier once you aren't so worried about getting to goal. I know I stress out so much that my body produces enough cortisol and adrenaline that it keeps me from getting the weight off. But, that is just me. You need to do what is right for you!!! Congrats though!!

I had a Big Mac Attack at lunch time...Just could not shake the craving. I considered going out to get a Big Mac snack wrap which is lower than a real Big Mac. However I decided to make my own. I cooked up some cut onions & added a Boca patty until cooked through. I cut the patty in half. Put it inside a low carb whole wheat tortilla. Added lettuce, pickles, & 2 Tbs of fat free thousand island dressing. It was pretty good & satisfied my craving.

 

[mommykds]

Sandi,
Yay for a loss!

I think you are doing the right thing by asking the Dr. It is only 3 lbs after all. Sometimes our body is just right at a certain weight even if it is alittle higher than the charts say.

So funny - I had one today too!! I went for the wrap...less points and satisfied my craving!!!

Congrats to Sandi and Alice on the weight losses this week!!

Sandi - I would get the note. If you are happy where you are - then I think you should stop frustrating yourself!!

I'm down 0.1 today! I just ate two Oreo Cakesters !

DS is taking me to the Keg for steak on the weekend. I phoned ahead and they'll let me order the 6oz steak off the kids menu! Their regular steaks weigh from 8oz to 16oz and that too much meat for me. I'm not good at cutting it in half and bringing it home for the next day because I just pick at it until its gone. Hopefully, ordering the kids steak will turn out to be the best choice.

Congratulations to the rest of you on your losses.

Sandi: I agree with the rest of the gang. Get the drs note, get to Lifetime and enjoy that for a while. If you want, lose a few more pounds later. Becoming Lifetime may give you a boost!

Ordering that steak from the kids menu is such a great idea!!!! You are making me hungry for cakesters
Congrats on your weight loss!!

I have quick question about the program, if you all don't mind. The 49 weekly points...is that a fixed number or does that also vary like the daily points do? My meeting is so big that I didn't get a chance to ask my leader any questions today. Thanks!

49 weeklies don't change they are a fixed number. Use them or lose them, they don't carryover. They reset on your weigh in day.

hi all
just checking in...went to the Dr again today to follow up on my shoulder and leg pain and discovered that in addition to the broken wrist I also have a small fracture in my fibula. Again, I am grateful my injuries weren't worse, but I am feeling down about this new finding. I was hoping to get back to walking but now I can't. And we're going to Disney in 2 weeks so I may need to look in to a ECV or wheelchair to use while we're there

ok...enough of my pity party! I hope everyone else is having a good week! congrats to the losers and welcome to the new members!!

Good job on your loss Jessie. As I've mentioned before, I'm jealous that your scales measure to one tenth! The 6oz steak will be perfect for you. I got a 6oz sirloin at Max & Erma's over the weekend and it was just right.

Thanks to all of you for the comments on the drs note idea. My appointment is on May 26, so I'll see where I'm at then, but it is definitely on my list of things to discuss with her. On top of just being frustrated with the number and quite happy with my size, I would like to save the weekly WW fee money!
