NYNY - Fred - Dec 10th
Okay here we go:
I am down since last week: 1.8 pounds (that is using my base clothing measurements which means removing 1.6 pounds from the current wardrobe) But I'm down in any event 0.2 pounds even with the heavier clothing. So I guess the chocolate cake on Sat night was not deadly - YES! Current weight: 156.6 (heavier clothing 158.2) But I will mention my sister's take on this minimum weight issue (she, by the way has never had a weight problem other than being UNDER most of her life!!!). I mentioned getting to 155 to have a sufficient clothing cushion. She suggested as some of us have discussed then you will not want to move much from there and will try being just a bit lower to keep 155 and so on and so forth and ...... Which is what I've been thinking. So what does it mean. I have no idea (g) (aside: don't eat your heart out Lesanne, you cannot afford the points (gd&r) Fred 219.2/156.6/164.0 (Lifetime) Started WW: Oct 29, 2002 |

Okay, I give up, you win. I am very impressed.
Gotta tell you, I don't understand what your sister said. Do you think she meant that when you get to 155, you will want to weigh less than that? I have wondered that a lot myself. This week, at 157 and thereabouts, I find that I totally don't want to get much more off. I don't feel quite as well as I do at 160. But I want to stay under 160. I may be done, right here. I will get my NYNY goal this week unless some really bizarre thing happens. So you win. Not going there most likely. (unless you gain of course) "Fred" wrote in message ...

I am not sure what I did this past week and since I do not Journal anymore other than eating the same basic stuff, there is nothing to check against.

I will get my NYNY goal this week unless some really bizarre thing happens. You know I just had to look to see what the goal was. I was not sure it was 160 or 155. So I will call a truce, too. Life fireworks - safe and sane. So you win. Not going there most likely. (unless you gain of course) I will gain, of course. Xmas parties are coming up. And last night I was asked to make a gourmet, decadent dessert like my Christmas log (what a pain that one always is!!!) I'm still thinking of the sweet potato cheesecake but maybe frosting it with a chocolate glaze. Fred "Fred" wrote in message .. .

I too have not been journaling this past week and I am at a new low. I think this just takes daily weigh ins, and a willingness to go back on program when the one sixes show, and hanging around here to keep the focus. I really have a hard time believing this. I was somewhere yesterday and someone I did not know well said something that caused me to say something about being fat They looked at me and said, "YOU AREN'T FAT!" I had to laugh I forgot. I'm not. |

That is well put. I have been UP there now twice. So I know what's
possible. But I also know I have a lot more tools as far as food consumption. Now, attitude, mood, spirit, whatever might have more power behind it then just the tools. So it will need constant monitoring and vigilance. I wish us all the best of luck and discipline.

Yesterday we went out to lunch, which we frequently do when babysitting DGD,
since then the cafeteria she loves has to clean up the mess. My Ma loves fried anything. So do I, but you know how often I eat that sort of thing (same as any of us). We bought the lunch special plate of chicken fried chicken breast. There is not any skin, but there is a nice crunchy fried whatever all over it. I also got a vegetable plate, which has 3 veggies. I got mac and cheese (guess who loves that) canned corn (ditto) and green beans. Then when we got to table, I cut the chicken into 3 pieces, put about 2 T of mac and cheese, 2 T of corn, all the green beans and a third of the chicken on my plate. I really figured I would be up a pound this morning, but still nice ole 157. I think this whole thing is about portion control with the high calorie/fat/sugar items, and liberal servings of 0 point items for satiety and crunch (the chew factor) and this becomes not so hard. Are you also finding maintenance not as difficult as it was at first? I am! I hope that lasts! "Fred" wrote in message ... That is well put. I have been UP there now twice. So I know what's possible.

W O W !!!!
Since I still can't imagine actually reaching goal, I'm even less able to imagine your quandary about whether you hava a sufficient cushion. I think I like Lesanne's idea though (elsewhere in this thread) about picking a weight equivalent to a line drawn in the sand.

I think that I'm at that "line drawn in the sand" place now.
Let me put it this way - I'm not trying for anorexia. And I am eating and appear to have sufficient energy for my activities. I restocked the dates and mango at Costco along with picking up a fruit cake (too bad they can't go more natural on their baked offerings) And while there is still a ripple around the middle, at my age it may be skin. I know my secretary (who is a WW leader) is very big on people getting to their goal weight and really trying to MAINTAIN. And I would think that my floating up a bit and down a bit is there. And I believe with your attitude, you will reach goal and Lifetime. On Wed, 10 Dec 2003 20:50:58 -0600, Prairie Roots wrote: W O W !!!!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. This week I'm not sure I agree.
So I'll rely on your confidence until I regain some of my own. On Wed, 10 Dec 2003 19:22:37 -0800, Fred wrote: And I believe with your attitude, you will reach goal and Lifetime. Prairie Roots 232/170.8/WW goal 145 joined WW Online 22-Feb-2003 |
