I kinda had a frustrating thing happen to me today. A co-worker of mine came looking for a snack today and I have my stash of all my low cal snacks. I caught myself saying, "this is 2 points, this is 1 point yadda yadda yadda" and I was like "oh sorry, so used to thinking about points since I started WW" and she says "oh how are you doing?" and I said I've lost 40 lbs (which I have only 10 lbs to go to be my ideal weight) and she says "from where?"
It really hurt my feelings a little I have to say.This is someone I work with every day. So I was a little taken aback.
Keep up the good work!Hooray, Grumpy's wife!! Congrats on making 10%!!!!
cepmom, hang in there--you'll be back on the downward trend soon!
By the way, I LOVE the list--I printed it out and am sticking it near my bathroom mirror. So far, all total, I've lost:
An elephant's private,
A human head(makes me think of the little kid in "Jerry Macguire"!), and
A guinea pig!
I'm almost to an Irish Setter, and am aiming for a 2 month old horse plus a 2 year old child!
It has been one heck of a journey so far! Keep up the good work!cepmomI weighed in today and was up 3.4 lbsI was down 3.6 lbs last week adn I guess I was feeling pretty good about that and got too comfortable with journaling (or rather not journaling) I had my neice's birthday party and also a dinner out for DD's dance team year end banquet. I didn't plan my food well those days and found myself with very few healthy choices at those events.
I also didn't exercise as much as I usually do...I spent all day Saturday and Monday doing yard work and my legs were very sore so I didn't get on the treadmill full force. Okay...back to square one...back on the treadmilll tomorrow full force and back to journaling every stinking thing I eat!
Grumpy's Wife.... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
congrats to all the losers this week and
Just think, it's only one week. You're back on the wagon and ready to go again. We have all gained, but you know what you did and how to fix it. Before WW, you would just keep eating and packing on the pounds. This week will be better!!! I kinda had a frustrating thing happen to me today. A co-worker of mine came looking for a snack today and I have my stash of all my low cal snacks. I caught myself saying, "this is 2 points, this is 1 point yadda yadda yadda" and I was like "oh sorry, so used to thinking about points since I started WW" and she says "oh how are you doing?" and I said I've lost 40 lbs (which I have only 10 lbs to go to be my ideal weight) and she says "from where?"

Gosh, I hate it when people respond like that--it is so hurtful and so disrespectful to the hard work that you have put it to lose 40 pounds.
Congrats to you andto your co-worker.
I've been MIA lately--I've missed my weigh-ins, but I am holding steady. I just quit exercising for no real reason, so I am trying to get back to exercising and journaling everything I eat.
.
but sometimes, it is HARD!!!
DizneeMommy, Looks like we are on the same path. I'm also aiming for that 2 month old horse plus amount of cheese an average American eats in a year and a rack of baby back ribs.
Some people. . .
(I'll just try to duck under any food that gets thrown at me ) and my whole hearted encouragement to anyone who gained this week, don't give up! 
Well I went and weighed in today, and I've lost 1.2 lbs this week, which brings my grand total to 41.2 lbs.
I'll be at WDW this weekend, so I'll see how I do!
I was down 0.6 this week. Not a huge loss, but I'll take any loss!!
That puts my total at 6.8 lbs lost since 5/1
You are all doing awesome!!!! 
Jovo, saratogashan, and Ms. Heimlich!!! Hugs to you on your gain this week. We all have our ups and downs, and you will be able to get right back on program and lose that gain. It is such a game we play with the scale. I have that pattern, if I see a loss on a week that I wasn't really that good, then the next week, I'm a little worse, thinking I got away with eating the junk the week before, and then it's a big gain. I have been going up and down with the same 5 pounds for about a year now, and know where you're coming from. Hang in there. You can do it. You look awesome in your pics on the picture thread, and the last few pounds are always the hardest to come off. Keep up the great work.
Congrats on your one year anniversary of lifetime!!!!! That is an amazing accomplishment. You have definitely got this maintenance thing down pat. Great job!! 
Ms. Heimlich- Great to see you over here. I love the picture thread you started. Congrats on your 65 pounds lost!! That is a fabulous accomplishment and you look awesome!! The weight list was hilarious- I am down a two year old, and a sperm whale's brain.
As for me this week, I am still doing core, but did go away for the weekend again and did not track my non core foods, but got right back on tuesday, and am down .8 today. I think the healthier foods on core are really making a difference, and I'm not snacking as much. I don't feel deprived at all. I have no plans for the next 3 weeks, so I am committing to following core faithfully, and keeping track of my 35 flex points, and I hope to break through this long plateau. I have .6 to lose to hit the lowest I have been in at least 7 years. I'm gonna do it this time!!
Keep up the great work everyone!! We can do this!!
