NYNY - Fred - Consistent?
I was never willing to drop my points (food consumption) as I lost before.
I just ate the same general volume but of different foods? And ended up tired of those foods and eating the volume in other things again. I am not sure doing the storyboard did anything for me other than keeping me real busy. That was handy. But yeah, this time I learned what was the right serving of various things for my sized body *now*. Very different. "Fred" wrote in message ... I will be honest - I did not do much of the "tools" that was discussed at meetings such as the storyboarding and the switching images or whatever. But I was faithful to the Journaling for most of that first year except during the camping vacations. And I do know and think about the points associated with the foods that I am occasionally overdoing. But the big tool - how much food is "worth" is one thing that WW taught me. I also learned, probably, more or less on my own, was what I still term NORMAL EATING. And this I learned from observing my friends eat normally. So while I lost down to this weight before, it was without the knowledge or tools needed to know how much food I needed to be here and stay here. As I think about it, WW tries not to be harsh or lecture but stressing what we did was NOT NORMAL EATING and to observe others for good hints and habits might be something they could add a bit more actively. Maybe a certain level of heightened "paranoia" (ha, heightened) is fine as it is what makes us rethink what is what and what we want. On Sat, 08 Nov 2003 21:52:19 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: This discussion plays right into what I have had on my mind for quite a bit now. I have lost weight numerous times. Never to this point. The last time I lost was while I was still working at the middle school. I got to 200 pounds, decided that it was "perfect" and as good as I could expect with my history of extreme obesity, damaged metabolism, yada yada yada yada. I maintained the 200 for quite a while, at least 6 or 7 months, then somehow went off into lala land, ending up at the 247 spot that I was at when I rejoined Feb 02. I did have to quit during that time to take care of Ma and the stress was an excuse. When I rejoined I had been reading that book "changing for good" and had also been doing some research that seemed to say that yo yo dieting was not a predictor of failure at new diets. So I decided to try something new. Decided to actually do all the suggested stuff that comes along with WW. Made a storyboard, etc. Committed to talking it over with my leader when I wanted to quit. I had a real bad sticking point around 180 and again around 175, but from there it just seemed to cruise on down. I have a positive Horror of the Ephemeral Whatever taking me over again and having it creep back up. At the same time, it seems kind of not fair to have to journal every day the rest of my life. The trigger number seems a great compromise. When I begin to journal it is usually only 3 or 4 days before I am back down where I was before hitting the trigger. And my trigger has crept down a bit. It was 162, now it is 161. I think this is the only realistic way for me to expect to stay here. "Fred" wrote in message .. . Yes, you are right. And I agree, we certainly should not place perjorative terms on the occasional GRAND DINNER. I think some up and some down is natural. Not only just based on the weight of the food and water but on a bit of real gain and real loss that occurs naturally during the course of a week or month. I think WW's Maintenance book does suggest picking a TRIGGER value and working harder when one hits or definitely passes it. The issue could be the absense of, again, what I term the SWITCH. That passion that suddenly said - TIME. Join WW. It is not always present - at least, I'm not sure that it is. What I need to do is accept that and not be unnecessarily paranoid that it will all come back. It is just I can remember how easy it WAS (I hope) to just say: "At this point, another bowl of ice cream will not make any difference - it is a lost cause."

It seems to me that when I have a couple of bigger eating days, the scale response fairly quickly and I go back to the journal..etc. The FIRST day or so back is hard, then it is easy again until I think I am doing great (like this morning) and plan on going somewhere interesting to eat again. .

calories and fat they sure are high in carbs. I wonder if that is what is causing the sugar impact. It can't be regular sugar with that many carbs or can it? "Fred" wrote in message ...

NYNY - Fred - Consistent?
I've noticed that those upward blips do tend to happen occassionally, then the
downward blip seems to come along next. I've just realized now that over the past few months the upward number is getting lower though. IE: I used to blip up to 135, now the high end tends to be 132.5. The lower end is also going lower. The swings now do seem to be a bit more frequent though, so maybe is more of a natural thing as we settle into a permanent area?

NYNY - Fred - Nov 5 WI
13 mini's are only 80 calories or 1.6 points. But as Lee says, they
are pretty much just sugar and egg white and air. On Sun, 09 Nov 2003 05:04:20 GMT, "Laura" wrote: I'm wondering what's in those little miss M's. While they are low in calories and fat they sure are high in carbs. I wonder if that is what is causing the sugar impact. It can't be regular sugar with that many carbs or can it? "Fred" wrote in message .. . Maybe that is it - lower body mass - more impact from sugar. Maybe I should try the protein/fat/sugar mix that you found with the caramels with nuts. Good luck getting that 15 value. I have been officially under 160 twice, I think. .... No - four times. If that is what you mean by "an official one five." But it has now been a few weeks. 41F here this morning - high's expected in the low 50's, if that. Today will be a shorter walk. Hopefully, something more tomorrow.

I get a shaky kind of buzz from it, if my stomach is empty. If I have a sliver of pie or something as an end to a meal (like about a third of a traditional sized slice) I don't notice a problem, but let me toss a couple of those little meringue bombs in there on an empty stomach and I have to redirect myself outside for a few hours until the munchies leave again. The really odd thing is that I have some caramels that are exactly an ounce. They have a few nuts in em. I can eat one of those and it sits in there real nice and quiet, satisfies the sweet urge and doesn't call for more. Got to be the nuts. I have a feeling that active normal weight people have hair trigger blood sugar responses. Great bike ride. It is supposed to be mid 70's here today, ah cool. My trusty home scale says 158 this morning, a new low. I am going to go to my meeting and see if I can get an official one five. Probably can, mine is usually only half a pound off theirs. "Fred" wrote in message .. . Sounds like a reasonable way to go. I will have to finish off the 20 or so tubs of Miss Meringues (G) and then start with your plan!!!! I don't have any problems believing that spurting the blood sugar level might make one hungry when it drops back down as it will. And maybe being at a lighter weight, the effects are more profound - blood sugar spiking easier with less places to be used and hitting the brain faster. I did work in a 27 mile bike ride this afternoon and with the chilly temps (low 40's) I burned calories biking and staying warm! That is one problem with sush - other than the miso soup and green tea, there is not much in the way of HOT food entering the body to rewarm it (G) On Sat, 08 Nov 2003 01:23:34 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: I made up a little set of rules for me. If I am over 160, I journal. Usually just writing it down brings me back down to 159 something within a day or two, even if I don't calculate the points all that strict, or even at all. Just writing it down seems to do it. I got rid of my miss M's because they seemed to be making me hungry? Go figure. I noticed that about an hour after I ate a couple of em I would be very very hungry. And wanting sweets. I had a whole week there before halloween madness struck where I was dangling around 159 - 158. I am getting back there now, finally. This past week was 160 161. So I wrote. "Fred" wrote in message .. . I guess it can be done. I just need to keep the focus on what I have gained in LOSING. I do the fruit thing as my mid morning/afternoon snacks. After dinner seems to be the worst. For months there I did not have a problem but now rummaging for junk is "compelling." Up/down...... the exercise is the saving grace. I need to refocus. I think I should do what you are suggesting - back to Journaling to just see what I'm eating might be able to restore the focus.

Now to try and make it 3 weeks even if small would be nice.
