Default First time in 43 years.

Finally, after 5 days in the 241-243 range, I finally hit 238.0 lbs this
morn. Not since 1966 have I been under 240 lbs. Started at 281.
I'm not going by the 'book as I am using a crash weight reduction program
now at first (10 weeks). I seldom ever get over 23 points against my
allotted 34...whoops... now 33 points. I haven't yet used the bank. When I
get under 190-200, (to be determined) I will then adopt a maintenance
program with better menus, and more consistant eating times, and more
tasteful and different meals. Right now it is eat only when starved and
only eat meals less than 6 points (usually). All kinds of veggies, and
apples. Almost zero fat..but a little. High fiber.
I am also now officially 100 years old as I bought my first bottle of Prune
Juice, ever, yesterday. Those rabbit stools are hard to pass. Actually 71
years old.
My next challenge is to find a manner of living (eating), forever, that will
not allow me to put all that weight back on. This seems to be the big
problem with WW.
I hope I can honor the forthcoming maintenance diet so that I can use the
'bank', eat out occasionally, and have more tasteful and delicious entrees.
All without any weight gain at all. I'm not interested in putting on a 'few
pounds with a feast and then suffering to take them off for the next few
weeks.
My blood pressure in Feb was 140/110 (281 lbs), a week later 140/90 (still
281 but no coffee or salt). And last Monday 130/76 (242 lbs) which is as
good as it has been since the very early '50's (when I was a 'bubble
gummer). I have been on a blood pressure pill (40mg / day) Lisinopril since
July 2007.
I wish I had attempted this WW type diet earlier.

one of the reasons i can do ww is that is you really do read the materials
and follow it, lose slowly and learn, you can do all the eating out and fun
food you want within reason, the key really is learning the ww plan and
listening to your body, good for the losses,

You're "diet" has nothing to do with WW, at all. Weight Watchers doesn't in
any way encourage, condone, or even think it's sane to do what you pretend
to be doing.

For the record, I've lost 70 lbs and maintained the loss for 6 years now.
Without any of this bull.

Just sayin'

The motivating stories really help achieve the tough goals.

Love to see you doing it the hard way
