I want to be back!
"michelle.f" skrev i en meddelelse news:53WHb.4972$xX.11080@attbi_s02... I can identify with meeting the love of your life! I met mine, and even though he is 28 and I am 40, it does not stop me from eating with him and enjoying the weekends... so I have solicited help from him to lose the weight I have gained since meeting him! So have I. I would hate to let myself go and become too "comfortable" in the relationship and suddenly one day wake up and find that I no longer turn him on. My weight affects all areas of my life and I can feel that I also change personality when I gain weight. I become much more sensitive, insecure, lazy and dull on the sheets. And if I am suddenly not the person he fell in love with, then I won't have him for long. I don't want to be like that at all, and now I am ready to turn the wagon around. I am MOTIVATED)! |

I want to be back!
hi Mette, and welcome back. I've only been here about a year and a half I
think. Anyway... sounds like you've been through it all! Good luck as you return to WW. Here's another welcome notice... not sure what you were sent yet... lol... here you go though... 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 Amberle3's Challenges: HHH - Happy Healthy Holidays Exercise Challenge: http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/hhh.htm NYNY - New Year, New You Weight Loss Challenge: http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/nyny.htm THTP - Take Heart, Take Part Exercise Challenge: http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/thtp.htm RafL - Resolutions are for Losers Weight Loss Challenge http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/rafl.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! WW works! -- ~Kristin O~ 272/242.6/172 Here's our FAQ: http://www.didian.com/asdww/ and welcome notice: http://www.geocities.com/welcomenotice/index.html "Mette" wrote in message k... Hello there, My name is Mette. I am now 26 years old. I used to be a regular on the newsgroup almost 4 years ago. My daughter will turn 5 in March and I started WW in March the year she turned one, and thus also this newsgroup. I managed to lose over 50 lbs in one year. 50 lbs. From being a 5 ft. tall barrell to being a 5 ft. tall bomb shell, wearing pants size 2 (!), always knowing that I could wear anything and I would still look great, receiving an enourmous amount of attention from the opposite sex (my daughter's father and I had split up by then). I had come out of my fat suit finally and lived the great life that came with being and feeling attractive. I felt successful and I was successful in every aspect of my life. It did take time getting used to not being invisible anymore, but over time I learned to deal with guys;o). I kept all the weight off for about 1½ years. Then last x-mas I slowly started to gain. 1 lbs first, and then another. Then I ran into a depression and gained a bit more. Around summer time I weighed about 6 lbs more than last summer, but I still looked and felt great in my body. I was still very slim. Then I met my dream guy. And suddenly I started to gain. Quite a bit. We have been together for almost 5 months and I have gained 10 lbs - at least - during that time. I didn't take time to exercise, I started eating regular suppers with him, and we have been enjoying our share of alcoholic beverages on weekends and the junk food that goes with it. And now I am looking at my reflection in the mirror with horror. How could I let myself go that way? I am not fat per se, but I am chubby - again. So this is it. I have had it. The WW meeting in my town starts thursday, Jan. 9th. And I will go. But I won't wait to get back on track until then. I want to kick start it. But how do I do that? I know I need structure when losing weight, which is why WW worked sooo well for me. Otherwise I am just stuffing my face as usual. I need motivation and clear advice that I gave other, but have forgotten. Does anyone have the URL for FAQ for the ng? I actually wrote some of it and I need to read it again. I will try to be here every day and get support. Thanks for reading) Mette |
