Feeling skinny..

On the other hand, a lot of leaders play doctor (and not in a sexy way hehe)
and diagnoses people's problem, recomment supplement sometimes even
medication, and all around go WAY over our heads...

It's a fine line to walk. I play with tools, with ways to make this more fun
and happy.. not with people's health..

My leader often begins with "Don't say where you heard this but . . ." It
may be for something like telling us about hungrygirl.com that rates a
lot of products and gives the WW points for them. A good leader knows it
takes more than WW products and tools to win this battle. Your
spreadsheet sounds wonderful and I know you put a lot of time and thought
into them. It's a shame those in charge are so inflexible.

Willow, you must be a great leader because you care so much. My leader
is the same. She lives and breathes WW and just can relate to all of
us, young and old. The best part is she tells us about her struggles so
she comes across as totally normal.I'll miss the meetings these next
weeks I'm out of town.

I have my own spreadsheets that I've developped for myself and shared

Just remeber, water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon. If you drink
all the water you are supposed to drink on the plan, you are injesting
4 pounds of water. Add a salty meal to the mix and water retention
can vary your weight 6 pounds easily from day to day. Being adequately
hydrated is important for weight loss as well as general overall
health.

Don't sweat the day to day water weight changes. I track my weight on
a spreadsheet and look at the long term trend (3-4 months), not the
day to day stuff. I have a spreadsheet with both weight and percent
body fat on the same page. My bathroom scale will measure both and I
think it is helpful to see the changes in body fat beside the overall
weight. If my weight changes for the worse (up, of course), I like to
see if my percent of fat composition also changed. I am working out a
lot lately and while my weight has not decreased much in the past
months, the percent body fat has. I am losing the bad stuff while
adding muscle. No net change of weight, but a positive movement
overall which the scale alone won't tell.

If anyone wants a copy of the spreadsheet, drop me a line and I am
glad to share with the group.

It's always an issue for me.. if it's hot, if I had salt, if it's
very cold, if I'm stressed if it's anywhere close to the time of the
month.. I'm been known to go up by 8 lbs in a day..

I was WI-ing everyday for a while, was up and down 5-6 lbs from day
to day..

grrrrrrr

I heard a leader ask a member to get tested for thyroid... when it came back
negative, she told the member to get tested again by another doctor because
it had to be wrong...

How in H... would you know?

that would scare the crap outta me if I heard that. What I like about mine
is that she lets you know seeking supplements/vitamins is not a bad thing
but she doesn't offer herself as an expert, in fact doesn't give that
advice, Lee
