I've been hanging around the 146-148 range for a long, long time.


Last week

I decided to participate in the water challenge as I often forget to


drink

enough water. This morning I stepped on the scale and saw 144.5. I


checked

the scales a couple more times before leaving the house and it


remained a

steady 144.5 readout so I'm claiming it!

I've also been giving the new Core Program from WW a try. This


didn't

require much of a change in my WOE as I seemed to be eating most of


the

foods on the core list. I just had to make a few minor adjustments


such as

using skim milk for coffee instead of non-dairy coffee creamer, plain


yogurt

with fresh fruit in place of low-fat flavored yogurt, adding a daily


serving

of olive or flax seed oil, etc.

I'm just happy to see the scale going in a downward trend once again


and

hope it continues.

Way to go Bev! I'd be willing to bet it was the combination of the
water and all of those little changes you mentioned, but then again
there is no study proving conclusively that drinking water leads to
weight loss...

Then we're all drinking the same water... because the scale was down
another two pounds this morning. Like Bevery, I checked it a few times.

Weird. That's 5.5 pounds in 10 days. My normal rate over the summer
was about 1 pound a month. I guess "practicing maintenance" is over!

Speaking of pedometer challenge, let's plan on doing one next week.
Everyone who is interested, please plan to wear your pedometer next
Monday. :-)

Count me in! I'll get to use my new one with all the fancy settings - if I
can figure it out G

Beverly - who is going for the standard 10,000 steps per day since I spend
most of my day seated at a computer.


I'm in, too! I'm training for a 5K (that's 6000 steps right there) and
just bought a new pedometer at lunch-time. :-)

Congratulations.

Maybe it's PMS that caused your weight gain. Or maybe the vacation to CA.

Probably not since doing it for such a short period of time is unlikely
to have any lasting effect. You're not a water drinker as you have
said ad infinitum. A few days of extra water (if it was even that
many) isn't going to do much of anything.

Congrats to all three of you! I normally am pretty good about drinking
water, although I don't measure it. I'll have to start doing so and
perhaps amp it up a bit. Couldn't hurt... :-)
