So lately, I havent been posting whether I've lost or gained because, I confess, I've been following the 'Jessie' plan again. Yesterday, I weighed in exactly 1 pound above my 2 pound goal range! Which means three pounds above my goal. I've been Lifetime for almost 4 years (next month) and that's the first time this has happened. It also means that I'm 13 pounds above what I eventually got down to. I'm so ticked at myself for letting this happen. So here's the plan. My tracker is filled out for the entire week and I've loaded it with power foods at each meal. I've also left room for 1 point in chocolate everyday. I lost all 70 pounds without exercising so I have no plans to add that to my week this week but I'm going to do my best to just live on my 29 daily points and to stay off the Jessie plan. I know the Points Plus plan works when I commit to living it and that's what I have to do this week to achieve a loss next Wednesday. I'll post then regardless of what the scale says but feel free to remind me through out the week that I've made this commitment to myself.

Ah, the "Jessie Plan" -- it's like the "Sandi Plan." That's why we haven't made a fortune in the weight loss industry. You're going to do the Points Plus Plan this week and you'll be reminded of how you got here. Stick to it Woman!!! You can do it. You have to because the rest of us look up to you and want to be as successful as you. (There, is that enough pressure?!)

Great Job!!!!


Just came back from my weigh in down .2 making my total 59.8 . I have to admit I'm not surprised I had a tough weekend food wise. So, more suprised that I am down at all. I do have a new focus and will not repeat last weekends events. 60lbs you will be mine next week!!!!!!!!!!

Maria, thanks for the recipe, I was looking for something to make tonight

good luck this week...You can do it!

Just so you know I had way more cheerleaders on there but disboards said it was too many , what's up with that, you can never have too many cheerleaders, LOL. Anyway, was kind of wondering why you weren't posting in a while. But Sandi is 110% right, WE LOOK UP TO YOU . We sometimes get derailed. I was on the Stephanie plan this weekend. The important part is maybe the Jessie plan was longer this time than in the past but you are catching it before you are 70+ lbs in the hole. We have all been there, unfortunatly for us all it's going to be a life long struggle. We are not on the program until we get to that special number, we will be on the program forever. I give you tons of props girl cause although losing the weight has not been easy at all but, I know maintaining it is going to be even harder work for me. You've done in successfully for years now. So, keep on keepin on girl, we all love you and we know by summer you will be sportin a bikini .

She didn't -- but the mixer seems like a good idea. You have to let us know how this tastes!

It was very good, I thought! I can only give you my opinion because I don't share my 1 point snacks with people who can eat anything they want! I added a few fresh blueberries and they were great in it. I'll be making it again.

You guys are wonderful! Thanks. Things are going well so far. I stuck to my 29 points yesterday and Wednesday and the scale has actually moved in the right direction! Today will be a little difficult at supper time. We're going into the city after school to a museum so I dont know what we'll be doing for supper. I'll have to think of something before we leave so I dont blow it tonight. I'll probably throw a sandwich together and bring along some fruit and eat it there.

I lost 3 pounds this week and got my 5% star! I am very happy.

Wow! Congratulations on your loss and on hitting your 5%! I can see your 10% from here.

 

[Sandi]

What do you guys think is the right strategy?

My usual WI is Wednesday at noon. It works well for me because it's right in the middle of the week and I love my leader and group. This week, I have to be out of town for all day meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday. I could go to an evening meeting on Monday or a noon on Friday. I'm torn between which one makes the most sense. If I go Monday, I know I won't have much of a scale result because it's later in the day and not much time will have passed since the last WI. But, it puts me in the right frame of mind for dealing with two days of meetings -- sitting in a conference room with 10 other people for 8+ hours and also going to dinner on Tuesday night (Michael Simon's "Roast" in Detroit which is FABULOUS). On the other hand, if I am doing the WI on Friday, maybe that will make me make better choices on the days I'm away from home. Oh, the indecision. . .

hmmm....If it were me, I would probably go on Friday, hoping the thought of weighing in after the trip would keep me on track.

This gets my vote as well.

Today was a (lower case) latte day for me. I was the same as last week which was just fine with me. Our meeting lost TONS of weight ... well 52 lbs for about 40 people. That's especially good here in Wisconsin the week after the Super Bowl. Does anyone know ... do they only count the losses or do the add in the gains when they calculate that number? My guess is they only count the losses so it sounds better .

I racked up 17 APs for this last week and used every single one of them on Sunday . Yay Packers! I bought EA Active 2 for the Wii and started the 3-week challenge. I love it! One of the things that was missing from Wii Fit for me were recommended workouts. You could play this game or that game and the system would track your calories burned (sort of) but there was no guidance. EA Active 2 sets up workouts for you that include warm up, upper body, lower body, cardio and cool downs. The arm band has a heart monitor in it so the calories burned calculations are more accurate and when you're done you can see your heart rate over the workout in a graph. It was $39 on Amazon with free shipping and you don't need the Wii balance board to play it.

Sandi: I would go with the Monday meeting because you'll be more motivated going into your mid-week challenge. Plus, you'll have a whole week to work off Iron Chef Simon's delicious food .

I was down 2.4 today! I figured I'd be down, but didn't expect that much!!!!

You can do it!!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear the past couple days have been good! You'll loose that weight in no time.

That EA Active 2 game sounds just like what I have been wanting as well. Thank you for the tip! I love doing the Wii Fit, but would enjoy some recommended workouts and a true calorie count. Plus, I need some variety!

I also agree with you on Sandi's dilemma. I would pick Monday! Enjoy the yummy food and you won't have to worry about it as much.

I bet that made you feel great all day! I know I'd be walking on air. Congratulations -- it was a well earned loss. We all know you don't get gimmes on this.

 

[vavalynn2]

Wow- I have not read the boards since earlier this week- everyone- Great work!!!

And Jessi, sounds like you are getting on track.

It was not a great week for me- was a bit sick, tired, worked long hours so I was not hopeful as today is WI day!!

Down 0.4lbs
16.2 lbs lost total, 33.8 more to go

I will take it- it's a loss.

I wanted to be @ 190 by next week when we leave for our trip, but it does not look like I will get there, I am 4.8 off. But I will take it since I know it is less than the last time. Not to mention I tried on shorts this week and can now wear some I could not this summer. That is awesome!! So I have those in the pile to pack. Can't wait to escape this winter!!!

Have a good weekend everyone!! Make good choices.
