Back again
Welcome back, Helen! Wishing you great success.
Hi everyone! I'm back! I was on the online US program last year and lost 38 lbs. Then my mom got very ill and since I have FMS, I just couldn't keep up the program and exercise machines I was using. She passed away 2 days before Christmas and I just wasn't in any shape to start back again. I started out at 225 and am back up to 210. Now my Dad is in the hospital but I'm determined to get this weight off. Have been watching Dr Phil and reading his book. So, I signed up for the flexpoint which is now available online in Canada. Started last thursday and I've had a few slips but somehow they didn't turn out to be so bad with the flex system. Nice to be back. -- Helen Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him www.peagramfamily.com http://www.mompeagram.homestead.com/ Sonya 199/185.2/180 (10%) |

Hi, Nathalie, Thanks for explaining. Strangely, I thought he had a thing
against Belgium waffles which I haven't had in some time but they are delicious! -- Take Care Catherine 154/134.4/136 Lifetime 6/99 Next personal goal 133.2 "Nathalie W" wrote in message ... Well before the war agains Irak started, Belgium, France and Germany stood up against the USA... now he still thinks Belgium should be boycotted and it 's still in his sigline. Stupid huh. It's a cooking group! -- Nathalie from Belgium 134.1/103.1/minigoal 102.3 Goal 68 Kg 295.6/227.3/minigoal 225.6/Goal 150 pounds NYNY 227.3/227.3/214 "Catherine White" wrote in message . net... Hi, Nathalie, Why would he boycott Belgium? -- Take Care Catherine 154/134.4/136 Lifetime 6/99 Next personal goal 133.2 "Nathalie W" wrote in message ... That's why I lurk and don't post. One guy still has a 'boycot Belgium' sigline, so posting as 'Nathalie from belgium' might not be such a good idea :-) -- Nathalie from Belgium 134.1/103.1/minigoal 102.3 Goal 68 Kg 295.6/227.3/minigoal 225.6/Goal 150 pounds NYNY 227.3/227.3/214 |

Welcome back, Helen. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. I wanted to
wish you wonderful success with Flex points. I've also heard great things about Dr. Phil's book. Maybe I'll have to see if I can get it from the library one of these days... Good luck and it's nice to have you back... Here's a little bit more info for your reading pleasure... Welcome to this great newsgroup where you'll receive lots of support, advice, and encouragement. Once a week on Sundays, I post a list of links that newcomers to asdww might find useful. You may want to look for that later in the week, or do a backwards search for last Sunday's post. In the meantime, here's our FAQ: http://www.didian.com/asdww/ our welcome notice: http://www.geocities.com/welcomenotice/index.html Frequently seen acronyms on this NG: NSV = Non-Scale Victory WOE = Way of Eating WOL = Way of Life (Living) OP = on Points or On Program DH = Dear or Darling Husband DS/DD/DGD/etc = Dear or Darling Son, Daughter, Granddaughter, etc WI = Weigh-in HHH = Happy Healthy Holidays Exercise Challenge. Our current exercise challenge hosted by Amberle. Currently in progress, new signups are welcome. http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/hhh.htm NYNY= New Year, New You Weight Loss Challenge. Our current weight loss challenge again hosted by Amberle. Currently in progress, new signups are welcome. http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/nyny.htm Other acronyms: http://www.wwlissa.com/dwlz100+/100+acronyms.htm Here's a short synopsis by Joyce - How many points you can eat is only based on your current weight, as you lose weight those points allowed will decrease (logic is that your body will need less to operate). At 183 pounds and based on the new US flexpoints system, you will have a set point target of 24. In addition to this you are allowed 35 flexpoints to be used throughout the week ... as well as any activity points you earn on a particular day. When your weight drops to 175, your target drops to 22 points ... weight reaches 150, target once again drop to 20 points. 3 servings of dairy of recommended per day, 5 servings of fruit and veggies, minimum of 6 glasses of water. To calculate food and activity points, I love this computer desktop calculator ... http://www.xmission.com/~zythra/downloads/points.exe WW suggests your ideal weight should be somewhere between 116 and 145 depending on your age. The basic plan is easy. Eat at least your minimum daily number of points. Points do not carry over from day to day. You are allotted 35 weekly flexpoints to be used at your discretion ... can divide them up and use daily (would be an additional 5 points per day) or save them and use them for a special occassion during the week. Activity points are earned based when exercising, but can ONLY be used on the day they are earned. If you can afford $15/month, the online ww program might be a great thing for you to look into. There is lots of information available, as well as the food point database and journaling system. Joyce WW starting weight: 228.8 - 2/5/02 current weight: 133.3 Lifetime: 4/4/03 Disclaimer: As an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, asdww is unusual in that most of the people who participate are respectful, considerate folks who freely share their experience with and knowledge of WW, weight loss, and maintenance. Yet occasionally, spammers, trolls, and flamers show up to post advertising, false information, insults, and the like. Nearly all of the time, people like this are just trying to yank someone's chain. Most of the regulars on this newsgroup offer their experience as a suggestion to try if you're stuck, but are quick to advise that each person has to find what works for him/herself. If someone posts something that doesn't sound right to you, ask the newsgroup, ask your WW leader, or ask your health professional. Much success on your weight loss journey!
