List Rules

1) NO discussion about sugar substitutes. This is one of the hottest topics and people are extremely opinionated. If you're concerned about sugar substitutes, hit Google. Don't discuss it here. You may share recipes with sugar substitutes and you may ask which bakes the best, etc., but NO discussion about health aspects. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

2) NO discussion of how Weight Watchers works. Can't come here and have us teach you the program. Most of the members here are paying members and Weight Watchers has a copyright on their information. They have a great program and deserve their financial compensation. So we won't tell you how the program works. Join up and get the materials for yourself!

3) NO solicitation for money. Period. Ever.

4) Be nice. Play nice. Share, share, share!

5) If you think you're still on moderated status, chances are you probably are. Email me privately at Serious-Weight-Watchers-owner@yahoogroups.com and put MODERATION in the subject line. Then ask to be taken off moderation. This is one busy group with over 5000 members, and taking people off moderated status is often times put on the back burner. Only make this request if you've been a member of the group for a month and have posted a few times.

6) If you want to discuss OT stuff, join the group set up by Kerry and Sherri. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/SWW-OTdiscussion/

7) Don't write a post to the group announcing you're leaving because you're upset about X, Y or Z at the group. People who do this are trying to stir things up. The funny thing is, as moderators, we know when people unsub. Those that try to stir the pot and announce they're leaving never do! They send a post, trying to cause problems, then stay and watch. When you see this behavior here or at other groups, know you're dealing with trolls or people with no class.

8) If you have a problem with the group, email the moderators. Don't post it to the group. Serious-Weight-Watchers-owner@yahoogroups.com

Thanks,
Lyn

2. My cancer: was brain cancer

Actually, when I went through Chemo for lymphoma, watching how I ate was VERY important. The docs had me spend time with the dietitian to make certain I was eating properly to support my healing from both the cancer & the chemo. The WW plan is ideal for this. Many people gain weight on chemo, because the side effects of nausea have been pretty much eliminated with medications.

Before I started treatment, I was loosing weight rapidly because I could not eat, but that all changed after my first treatment. It helped so much that I could eat again. Since treatment lasted eight months, I could have gained an unpleasant amount of weight.

I am a vegetarian & the dietitian placed great emphasis upon enough protein; so I was required to add something to each meal to increase the protein grams. Also, my downfall is sugary foods; but I learned that cancer feeds on sugar in the body. In fact, one of the tests, the PET Scan involves an IV of glucose which will go to any cancer in your body and then a scan of your body for those places that are holding the glucose.

Right now there is a suspicion that the lymphoma has returned. I cannot think of a better way to eat than WW. Enough food to sustain my body, freedom of choice to eat things like soup when I feel ill, and an emphasis upon healthy foods.

I ate a lot of organic vegetarian TV dinners because I was too tired to cook. WW is a plan that will accommodate this as well.

4a. Race Report (Really Long!)
Posted by: "Cindie Niemann" cindyloohoo32@hotmail.com cindieloohoo32
Date: Sun Jun 28, 2009 12:11 pm ((PDT))

Pre Race
Up at 4:45 AM. I got everything ready and had a little breakfast. I felt pretty rested even though I woke up at 1:30 AM and had a hard time getting back to sleep. We left the house just after 6:00 AM for a 40 minute drive. We saw lots of cars on the road heading to the race. Once we got there I set up my transition area. I got a good spot near some of the girls I trained with. Now I just had to wait. Rich, Michelle & Richie showed up around 7:30 so that helped me keep my mind off things. I was in the last wave of the swim so I had to wait around 25 minutes after the first wave before it was my turn.

Swim
800 meters, 26:23
The water was really choppy and the course looked intimidating. I started way off to the left to stay out of the crowd. After a few minutes I didn't know if I was going to make it. It didn't seem like I was going anywhere! After a few hundred meters I had to stop and fix my goggles because they were so fogged up. I rounded the far buoy and headed for the next corner. I was starting to get into the rhythm, and passed a couple of people from the previous wave. After I rounded the corner I couldn't find the other buoys. I tried to just site the shore, but ended up looking at the wrong beach. Once I realized I was headed in the wrong direction, I had gone way out of my way. The last stretch went pretty well once I knew where I was going. I hit the shore and saw Rich cheering me on. It was a long uphill run to the transition area. Jay ran along side of me while I was making my way up.

T1
1:39
I made it to the transition area and got my shoes and socks on. My feet were nearly dry by the time I got there so it was easy getting my socks on. I'm glad I had the elastic laces because it made getting my shoes on really easy. Helmet on and running out of transition to the bike course. Jay was there at the exit to see me off.

Bike
10.7 miles, 35:20
I was really tired and breathing heavy when I first got on the bike, but I started to feel good really quickly. I was flying on the bike and passed tons of people. I felt really good and fast on the bike. I was strong up the hills and pushed it on the downhills. For the first 25 minutes or so not a single person passed me, but I kept on passing others. It felt great passing person after person! I got tired of yelling "On your left!" and at one point I got mixed up and started yelling "On your right!" I'm not sure how many people I confused by passing them on the left and hollering that I was on their right. I got passed by 2 women in the last stretch. One other woman passed me but I passed her right back up on the next hill. The last stretch before transition was an easy downhill.

T2
1.01
My legs were like jello running the bike back into the transition area. Good thing I had the bike to hold onto. I got the bike back on the rack and grabbed my hat and race belt. I had a hard time getting my belt snapped. Next time I will just grab it and figure it out during the run. Good thing Jay was standing near the transition because I almost ran out the wrong side for the run.

Run
3 miles, 33:04
I started off running really slowly because I knew it was going to be hard to continue running the whole 3 miles. I had no idea how hard the trail was going to be! There were lots of roots, hills, and the path was really narrow. I had to stop and walk for a while. I was able to keep a pretty good pace even though I was walking. There were some brutal hills and one was really bad with a steep downhill with loose rocks, and then a really steep uphill after that. Once we hit the pavement I was surprised when they said that there was only a mile left. I was sure we had about 1.5 miles left, so I was happy with that news. At that point I knew I could run the rest of the way in. I was able to pick up the pace to the finish line. First I saw Rich & Michelle & Richie, then near the finish Jay was there to take my picture. I saw a couple of girls from my training group at the finish and we congratulated each other.

Results
1st place in Athena 40-99 Division! Total Time 1:37:27
When I signed up for the race I decided to enter the Athena Division for women 150 lbs and over. I'm only 2 lbs. above, but I figured I might have a chance of placing in that division. I never dreamed I could actually come in first! I guess there is something good about weighing over 150 lbs! If I had entered in my normal age group I would have placed 22nd, which I would still be happy with!

Sorry about the blank message. Congrats on the great race Cindie! I
can't imagine doing all that at once, so I'm impressed. 1st in your
weight division is awesome, and 22nd in your age group is still
impressive. I don't think I'd have even attempted it!
Have a great week.

Sorry about the bad eating day, but just hit the reset button, you know.
Tomorrow is another day.
I have been using lemons in my water. A lady told me that she has been
squeezing lemon juice (real lemons) in her water and it helped her to lose
weight (35 pounds) . I am trying it and hoping it works for me.

Congrat's on the awesome meeting and winning the the contest!!!

9. mia...but back--kind of long
Posted by: "kmroth01" kmroth01@yahoo.com kmroth01
Date: Sun Jun 28, 2009 2:45 pm ((PDT))

ok, so I have been mia, but I am back. I just have to say it started 3 weeks ago, I lost .4!! I kind of got a little down after that weigh in, even though it was a loss. Then the following week, I gained .6!! That really upset me. I am getting close to the 10% goal and want to hit it so bad, I can actually taste it. Then this past week, I did something I shouldn't have done, I go to meetings and weigh in on Wednesday night...well, Wednesday morning, I got on the scale and I had my 10% goal met. I was sooo happy!! But, when I got to the meeting on Wednesday night...I didn't make it. I missed it by .4!!! I was so upset and crushed. I didn't eat back or anything Wednesday, it really crushed me. But my leader keeps telling me I am doing great!! I have lost 19.6 lbs, and have been a member for 11 weeks. Oh..I left out an important part. I went to the gym Tuesday night before my weigh in and ran for an hour on the treadmill, because I am in Missouri and it is too darn hot to run outside...and I didn't know this until about half way through, but their a.c. was frozen up and not working. I almost got sick!!!! So I think that is why I was so mad at myself. I had worked out hard...and still didn't make it.
But I am kind of over it now and just hope and pray I make it this week, but I have eaten ALOT today!! :(

Congrats to all who lost and thanks for listening to me...

Hi gang,
Thanks for the support. You do not know how alone you feel when something
like this happens. It is just nice to see people out there care. I truly
appreciate the support.

Monday will be the day to see what is really going on. I have a trip I
had planned to Alaska that might have to happen sooner then expected. I hope
to still get it in. I am trying to look at alternative medicine but there
is so much information out there and under stress it is hard to digest. I
waiver from making plans for my lighthouse paintings and thing I have to
planning trips, It is so weird

For the first time in my life-- I am buying any food-- got to stop that and
get back on WW because I have pancreatitis and that has still to be
monitored. My frig is stuffed but I am really not hungry. Odd feeling for me.
They said the steroids should make me want to eat but so far no. I eat
some ice cream-- it helps with the pills and I can eat just 3 Tablespoons to
settle my stomach enough the pills don't bother me.

Guess I am rambling--Just wanted you to know I appreciate the support--
Keep on losing!!
Ginny
