Hello dear WW friends. I am sorry to have been MIA this last week. Last week of school and lots of projects. I praise all the ladies who lost, stayed the same or stayed with the program. Keep it up. And to the new ladies hello.
I have been very lax this week, used all my points, and so I stayed the same. No loss, no gain. This is my first nl/ng week so I am going to use it to learn from. I know what needs to be done, just got busy. But no excuses, this is a new day and a new start.
I look forward to catching up.
with love and blessings,
Tracylea from Indiana

Hello Tracylea,
You know, staying the same can be just as hard as losing. I would be proud of that.
Have a Passionette Day!!!

My husband keeps telling me the same thing! Too funny! Why can't we just listen to them and see what they see?!
I went through the same thing with the jeans thing. My husband has actually even mistaken me for one of my daughters with my back turned to him! I have 2 older daughters, 18 and 20. My 14 year old son didn't even recognize me in the grocery store one time when he went shopping with me! So I must be thinner than my mind's eyes tell me!

That is exactly how I feel - especially when I look in the mirror. My husband keeps telling me how crazy I sound and that he does not understand how I can not see it but it is there. One day doing laundry I came across a pair of jeans I was trying to figure out which of my daughters they belong to (16&21) and I was amazed when I figured out they were mine. But looking at them while I was hanging them up I kept thinking there was no way my big butt and hips was going to fit into them.

4a. 50 lb. disc

Date: Thu May 21, 2009 10:21 am ((PDT))
Hey Everyone,
I just had to shout it from the rooftops - I GOT MY 50 LBS. DISC TODAY!
I've lost a total of 50.8 lbs. in a year and a half. It's been slow and
steady but "they" say that's a good way to do it.
The best part is that I don't have to take my cholesterol medication that
I've taken for the last (at least) 25 years! No more deep fried foods for
me - ever! Yuck!
Thanks everyone for listening to me shout!

Wow! Way to go! That's how much I need to lose altogether I think if I don't get closer and change it. But it sounds like I'm right on track with the pace you had. This is my eleventh week and I've lost 18.8. So that's encouraging to me.

Congrats Shiela! I've lost 55.5 lbs in almost 2 years(in 3 weeks), so
I know what you mean about slow, but hey, look what you've gained in
not having to take your meds! Congrats!

And if they don't...WHO CARES??? You're not doing it for THEM, MO :) You're doing it #1 for YOU, and then for your family (me :) to have you around longer. And we notice every time we hug you! There's less and less to hug. So don't worry about what "friends" say or don't say. Some of your "friends" may be jealous, so they don't WANT to say anything to would be positive. :)

8a. My Successes

I am so on cloud 9 right now I *had* to share! First off, I have lost weight
my last 3 weigh ins! 1.4, 1.4, and 1.8 (this past Tuesday)
Next, someone brought donut holes (and my favorite variety-powdered) in at
work and they were there for my last two shifts and I didn't touch any!
Third, last night we went to IHOP and I went armed with my points calculator
(so I could track) and my Dining out Companion (so I could decide what to
order) Well as I was looking at things and then looking up items that
sounded good, I flipped to the back and found a section called IHOP for Me.
That part had a handful of items that had the NI! In fact I might have even
overestimated points because while it had the calories and fat, it didn't
list the fiber so I just went with the points I came up with without the
fiber which I figure meant I probably even ate less points than I thought
but hey better over than under, right?
But now! This is my cloud 9 moment! I am just on such a high right now (the
kind not drug induced LOL) I told my husband I think I am finally "getting"
this. That you *can* go out to eat but you just have to be sensible about it
when you do. You have to come armed and prepared so that you can make the
best selections. So, to that end, I asked if I could *really* test myself
this evening and go to Golden Corral. For anyone not familiar with this
restaurant, it's a buffet style restaurant. Now, buffets, even on WW, are my
*big* downfall. I start out with the best of intentions, but end up eating
just about everything there! It's horrible! Well, this time, I started with
a salad (0 points cuz I just used lettuce and some veggies and FF Italian
dressing). Then after I finished my salad, I went back up (sans plate) and
perused the items and decided on some I thought I might want then went back
to the table and compared what I thought I might like with the points values
(had my Dining Out Companion with me) So settled on sirloin steak (6 points)
and mashed potatoes (3 points) I even was able to get a dessert cuz I had
been so good so settled on SF chocolate pudding (2 points) but hubby's
choice looked better and the only reason I didn't pick it was cuz even
though the book had Golden Corral this item must be new cuz it wasn't in the
list (he had a mini coconut tart looked *so* good) and I *still* had points
left over so used them around 9pm (I have to eat about every 3 hours because
I am diabetic and if I don't I start getting the shakes) for yogurt and a
piece of string cheese. I am so proud of me! It felt so good to go to a
buffet and not go overboard for once! I felt so good that I asked hubby if
we can do it again sometime and he said sure.
I was good on Mother's Day too this year! Normally on special occasions I
say to myself to heck with it it's a special day I'm not tracking. But this
time when we went out to dinner I did track and I also lost that week!
My hubby good naturedly teased me yesterday cuz that day we weren't sure
where we wanted to eat we just knew we wanted to go out so I told my hubby I
was going to bring my book so I was prepared no matter where we went and he
said "Would you like to bring your WW scale too and take it back to the
cooks to make sure they are measuring the proper portion size?" lol

Faye--
You are awesome! Truly!! That is amazing!!
I have to remember to bring my dining out companion with me. I tend
not to eat in chain restaurants too much so I try to research before I
go if at all possible.
Just curious what you had at IHOP and how many points it was? I would
think that would be a dangerous place....

Went for my second weigh in last night...down 3.6 for a total of 4.8! 1.2 more pounds and I'll be at my 5% goal! :) I'm quite happy about this situation! :) Can't wait till I start fitting into stuff, but I know it'll probably be about 5 more pounds till that happens!
