Help/advice
Hey all,
advice needed. Been on WW since May, had a rough summer with all the cookouts/parties. Basically stayed the same. Been back full force this past week. Have eaten all my points each day (24), and have used maybe 5 flex points total. Have done the treadmill every night, at least 20 minutes. Weighed in tonight and was only down .2. A big disappointment. The only thing I didn't do "per ww" is have my 3 milks a day. Will this adversly effect weight loss? Misty |

I don't think not having all the milk will be a problem. Just be patient. Audrey |

depending on your system it could, also give yourself a couple of weeks to
get used to the good food again, and are you drinking your water, glad you are back on track, and remember a small loss is the beginning of the right direction, NOT the end of the world, Lee Misty wrote in message . ..

I don't believe that skipping the milk is going to be a significant impact
on your weight loss, but in the scheme of things, how much have you lost overall? I don't know of any healthy diet that will consistently give big losses each week. When I'm following the plan exactly by the numbers I tend to lose about .5 per week unless I'm doing lots of very intense workouts in a given week. There are a lot of things to take into account so unless this is a persistent thing that lasts a month I wouldn't get too worked up about it. The thing about the healthy checks is that they are there to help you replace junk with healthier choices. By the time you eat everything you need for the health checks you don't have tons of points left for not so good stuff. When I was doing my 800 cal/day diet there were weeks where I lost nothing. Imagine how frustrating that was!! It's just the way our bodies work. Push on through this - keep doing what's been working for you so far. You'll see results in the long run. -- the volleyballchick "Misty" wrote in message . .. Hey all, advice needed. Been on WW since May, had a rough summer with all the cookouts/parties.

Hi Misty, nice to meet you.
You should try to follow the 8 healthy guidelines every day, yes, that also includes 3 milk servings. In my opinion, you should also eat ALL of your FLEX points! especially considering that you are only on 24 per day. Being only on 24 per day sounds like you don't really have that much to lose? So your loss per week will be much lower than someone like me who has a lot to lose. The WW program is only designed to help you lose 1 to 2 lbs per week and eating all of your points will not put your body into starvation mode. Exercising may also cause you to retain water if you aren't drinking enough water each day. Are you tracking your food intake properly and checking the little boxes at the bottom of each page? Hang in there. If you've only lost a little this wee, I 'm sure next week will be much better, but please try to concentrate on eating your full points allowance and getting the 8 healthy guidelines in each day......I'm sure you will see greater success at next WI. By the way........losing 0.2 should not be a disappointment.......you could have had a gain instead! Be happy and be proud of what you're doing. Stick with it and don't get discouraged. Try to dwell on your healthy eating and exercise habits......Doesn't it feel great to be in control ? Isn't that more important than seeing a huge loss at the scale?

Your situation is similar to my 16 year old daughter's. She weighed 210 and
has lost 52 lbs so far doing WW with me. I'm so happy that you've lost 134 lbs so far!! That's a great accomplishment!!! Give yourself a nice pat on the back Misty! Next time you go to the grocery store, try carrying around a 10 lbs bag of potatoes......then you'll realize how well you are doing! Stick with it! you have a great attitude! Stay positive and take the small losses.........every little bit helps! Eddie Weight June05-359.0lbs Current Weight-283.4lbs Loss to date=75.6lbs Goal Weight-180.0lbs "Misty" wrote in message . ..
