core is being very good to me

I haven't tried the w plan, officially but because of my work schedule it
seems that is what I do naturally, I hope things go better for you soon, Lee

This is an interesting thread.

After my first stall I tried core and gained so I went back to flex.
My problem is if I don't count points I just don't stop eating. I may
give it another shot.

I've been most successful doing the Wendie Plan. I went back to flex
points because on the low point days I got very hungry and I was
uncomfortable with the 39 point day.

Now I'm in another stall. No loss last week and this week so far I've
gained a pound. Frustrating. I need to get more upbeat and get my
motivation back.

I am the same way, as it is I don't journal soon enough and so my
jornals often reflect what I should have done rather than what I need
to do.


It's personally important to me to be able to do the core plan because I
will not succeed in the long term if I don't repair the problems with
hunger
and fullness.

This is an interesting concept. I tend to think, if I watch my
portions, at sometime I will automatically quit feeling hungry. Maybe
I am fooling myself, yes!

BTW, I'm officially old now. I just got my first pair of bifocals, 2
months
before the big 4-0.

Doesn't mean your old at all. It only means you are taking care of
your self now that you feel better about your self-image. Hey, I'm 56
I outta know.

when DH started having trouble with reading, he went to the doc and the doc
examined him, the announces, "you have O.P.E." Dh kinda freaked what is
that, the doc says Old people's eyes,... then grinned and pointed out he was
the same age as DH then pulled reading glasses out of his pocket, Lee

This weekend I went back to it. My schedule is so open during the summer
because I choose the hours I do work. They also changed the plan manager
on the website and it's easier to track everything. I had a major loss
by
this morning though I don't weigh in until Friday. The plan is getting
easier and it's really not much of a change from what I was doing on
flex
except that I don't measure my fruit or veggies. I still measure calorie
dense foods like meats and whole grains.

It's personally important to me to be able to do the core plan because I
will not succeed in the long term if I don't repair the problems with
hunger and fullness.

It also doesn't hurt that I've had as many AP's this week as flex points

The problem with aging is the body begins to have more aches and pains.
That is why it is so important to be at a healthy weight and continue to
exercise.

You know it's a funny thing to get older... I'm 32, which has
everybody go
"Oh you're a kid".. it kinda bugs me actually... this is the oldest
I've
ever been.. obviously.. but also... life changes as you go, I'm a
home
owner, a worker, a wife, I don't see how I can "qualify" as a kid
anymore..

To me being a kid is not having to worry about anything but your own
little
behind and how you do at school. It's simpler times where running out
of
money meant that you werent going to the weekend party.. not that you
could
lose your house..

I don't mind getting older, I'm certainly wiser and calmer than I was
in
my
20s, and I enjoy being grounded by married life and all the
responsibilities
attached to it. I realize that I would have the body I had at 16
years
old,
but I'm ok with that. That body was the result of being young,
working out
30 hours a week.. and eating once every few days.. nope... ain't
gonna go
there..

I might seem a kid for a lot of people, the average age at WW is
around 55
years old, but I'm the oldest I've ever been and I'm at the best age
I've
ever been... I'm old enough to know better, and young enough to enjoy
it..
*grin*

I guess it's all in how you look at it.. for kids I'm an old lady...
for
older people I'm a kid.. can I just be an adult? Plain run of the
mill
adult
with responsabilities, duties, and lots of fun?

If I'm such a kid, will anybody take up my bills? ;op

Ha, ha, ha. I am old enough to be your mother.

Both of my parents are giving me crap about being "old." I know
I'm
not as old as some, and I seriously thought it would be no big deal
to
turn 40 but I've made a strange mental shift I didn't expect to
happen.
I
don't feel bad - I weigh less than I did at 18 and I'm more
physically
fit
and healthy than I've ever been. I just recognize that I'm no
longer 25
anymore regardless of how I feel. Well I still have 2 months to
enjoy
being a 30-something!
