Yaaahh! She's back! I had my Toni-Ann breakfast again this morning.

As expected you can add me to the up club 2lbs . Honestly, I knew I'd be up but as of yesterday I was up 1lb and today 2. I thought all that yard work was going to help my weigh in but, I think it may be the reason I am up even more. Anyway, good luck to all other weigh ins. Our club is closed to new memebers so everyone else HAS to be a loser .

Sorry you joined Toni-Ann's and my club -- although we're going to rock for the next WI.

I had an excellent Wednesday and, so far, today is going well. I had my annual physical today and my doc was really happy with my weight and all the lab work. She and I talked about going a few pounds above the standard weight chart to be my WW goal and she was fine with it. She said that there is no sense continuing to stress out about a few pounds when I'm in much better shape than I've been in in years. So, she wrote the letter for me to deliver to WW for my records. I still have a few pounds to go (2.8 to be precise), but now I have NO MORE EXCUSES!

DD16 and I are planning to go to the outlet mall on Saturday. I'm actually looking forward to trying on some clothes. The mall is near Frankenmuth, so we are planning to do a late lunch at Zehnder's. I'm already mentally rehearsing for that. We are considering eating in the cafe instead of the main dining area so that we won't default to the "all you care to eat" chicken dinner. The holidays always bring crowds, but it's a fun meal. I'll have to get lots of activity points in before Saturday!

I've been meaning to ask you about the Dr's note but haven't. I am glad you are back on track. Have fun this weekend shopping and congrats on your good check up. Although, this weekends binge was my fault, I swear my body loves the number I am at. It's been here for months. So, we will see what happens. We leave in 2 weeks for our stop in Orlando/Beach trip. So, when I get back I will se where I am by the end of July.

Your comment about your body loving the number you're at is really interesting. That is sort of what my doc said. I showed her my weight chart and it has been hovering around this same 5 pounds since the beginning of February. She said that this might be my body saying this is the right weight for me -- notwithstanding the weight charts and the BMI charts. For me, the worst thing that could happen is that I throw in the towel because I can't reach "a number" and then I get back on the yo-yo thing. She and I agreed that "a number" that is a little higher is okay both physically and mentally.

I like your plan to wait to see where you are at the end of July. Your Orlando/Beach trip change up might be what you need to get the scale moving a bit. (I'm so jealous!)

 

[M.A.D.aboutDisney]

I'm in the up group this week too. Up .2...Blah! Here's to next week.

 

[We_love_WDW]

I just rejoined WW today! Hopefully this time it will stick. I had previously gotten down to my pre baby weight, but I now I am 15 pounds more. I needed to make a change. What are your favorite snacks and other items you buy at the supermarket?

Welcome aboard. My go to snacks are fruits and 94% FF microwave popcorn. I also like the WW smoothies; I blend them with frozen berries and it's like an ice cream treat.

Thanks for the insight on this from your doctor Sandi. I just looked back at my tracker and I have had the same three pounds since 1/27. I feel it is different than a plateau too. No matter how much I mix it up or exercise my body always gravitates towards this number. I will go up a little down a little but seem to settle at this one number. I see my endo. next week so may just talk to her about it a little and see what she thinks. I think you are right when you look at the big picture taking the "presure" off may help you drop those last few lbs. on your time.

I guess a bad week for all. Next week will be better.

WELCOME I love sugar free jello with ff or sugar free whip cream, hits that sweet spot.

Hey Stephanie, Another thing my doc suggested was to take a look at my carbohydrate intake. She said that while WW is a really good plan, it doesn't take carb values into account as much as she'd like. (It does a better job of that under PointsPlus than the earlier Points system, but . . .) She wasn't suggesting an Atkins approach, just thoughtful consideration and maybe more of a focus on proteins and veggies. I've just been calculating PointsPlus for everything without separately evaluating carbs. I'm going to try to cut out bread and crackers for the week to see if that helps change anything up for me. I refuse to give up pasta and I've already moved to whole grain pasta and brown rice. I don't know if you've looked at your carb intake, but that might be a change up that could help. We can experiment and then report on outcomes.

I was glad to see Toni-Ann's food plan back on the thread. It helps to see what others are eating.

THANKS again Sandi and it's funny cause that has just been what I've been doing literally counting carbs and my sugars. I have been limiting myself to about 6 servings of carbs. a day or 120g. I found a serving guidline and it read like this under 5=0 servings, 6-20=1, 21-40=2, 41-60=3. Well, I have done this the last two weeks (except for last weekend ) and loss .4 last week and gained 2 this week. I've done this also keeping within my points. Let me know if you find something that works for you.

And YES love Toni-Ann's food plan. I need to start posting my meals too.

[sjms71]

That's something to celebrate

What a terrific anniversary to celebrate. It makes me think about what is important. Thanks for sharing!

Well darn. I sort of hoped it would be a magic bullet.

This is excellent news! Definitely a reason for you and your family to celebrate!
Congratulations. I'm very happy for you.

 

[sjms71]

Well, ya never know maybe for me it wasn't or it just hasn't "caught" up with me yet. I still will track it and see what happens. Give it a try, I've also read that you should eat in carb. grams what you want to weight so 150g for 150lbs. Not sure how accurate that is either.

Lots of us are up this week. I know it's not going to be any consolation but lots of the members that I weighed this week were up. It seems to be the trend after a long weekend. Monday was a holiday for us as well.

I had an excellent Wednesday and, so far, today is going well. I had my annual physical today and my doc was really happy with my weight and all the lab work. She and I talked about going a few pounds above the standard weight chart to be my WW goal and she was fine with it.

Sandi, I'm glad you were able to get that note from your doctor. It's an excellent motivator for getting rid of those last 2.8 pounds. We'll be cheering you on the whole way!
