Congrats!
Thankfully, I managed to eek out a half pound loss this week!Phew!!!! That was too close. That brings me to 34.75 lbs lost - I was hoping to get over the 35 lb mark but I'm just glad it's not a gain. Hopefully yesterday is my last "eat out twice in one day" kinda day for a long time!
I will as long as I lose (or maintain) next week!
Stay strong. Get back on track tomorrow. Come on. Think of the $10!!!!I will as long as I lose (or maintain) next week!
WOW, I'm really off track so far this week. I overate Sunday, yesterday, AND today. Not sure what's up - I don't feel any different, no more stressed than usual. I'm not feeling discouraged or anything like that. Maybe it's hormonal? Not sure but my work week starts tomorrow so at least I'll be out and about instead of in the house with access to food!
I realize that when you want something crunchy what I'm going to suggest prolly won't suit..lol. But, I find cheese sticks or the baby bonbell cheese rounds, with celery sticks or sliced green bell pepper to be very satisfying when I do have a snack. Or mini dill pickles
Gained back 1/2 pound this week. Blah. I had a feeling it would happen; I had a difficult week keeping to my plan. Main meals were ok other than one lunch, but, I made the mistake of bringing home various chippy things - baked and low in fat/calories compared to other ones, but still - chips. A great weakness. I also was having trouble not snacking at work. I felt starving all week pretty much.
I need to go back and look at what I ate to see where I can do better this week. Which probably amounts to not eating any kind of snack foods at all. Once I start, very hard to stop.
Congrats to everyone who lost, and big hugs for everyone who gained. Ok, wait - hugs for everyoneWe all deserve one for continuing to try even when not successful in the short term. We all know, it will pay off with hard work and determination!
I think, I might need to bring some veggie sticks with me to work. Typically, there is an assortment of pita chips, popcorn, pretzels, nut/fruit mixtures and cookies. None are too bad on their own; but when you eat an entire small bag, for Weight Watchers, that still comes in at 4-5 points each which is too much for a snack. It's nearly a meal for me (both breakfast and lunch each come in around 6-8 points max).

You will figure it out, and once you have, you'll know what to reach for when you need an in-between meal bite that won't set you off.
Uh, that is a huge success! That is evidence of your hard work all on its own - no scale reading needed! Way to go!!!!
yay for you!!
That is awesome!
I've been reading how much you are exercising. There have been times when my success was a change in how clothes fit, I just reshaped. Maybe that is the case for you this week?
Had some junk food and I have a favorite cake which is to die for, it has raspberries, lychee cream and rose petals, with a macaroon layer. But I am back on track.
That makes me up to 35.25 pounds lost, 9.2% of my starting body weight gone.
Woo! Hoo! $10 plus two charms!!!!! Half a pound lost is better than gained. Well doneWell done losers! Pat, congrats on your big loss!
I lost a half pound for the 2nd week in a row. I'm not thrilled, but it's good to know that even on weeks where I feel like I am a little out of control with my eating, overall I am still doing so much better than when I was gaining 15-20 pounds a year. It'll be a long journey, but I'll get there. So I'll take my half a pound.
We also had awards at my weight loss group tonight. For the month of September, I was the best loser with 10 pounds lost, so I got a charm for that. I also got a charm for my 2nd 10-lb loss with the group, and a charm for 5 losses in a row. I charmed it up tonight! lol. Yay!
Oh, and I won the money! $10, woohoo! And my name got drawn again for the contest, so 4 more weeks to lose (tonight counted twice, once for the completed contest and once for the new contest) and I win $10 again. I definitely recommend checking out to see if there is a local TOPS club chapter in your area - each chapter is independent so there will be different contests and awards and such, but it's so much fun and helps keep me on track.
