Go for it !!
After being successful and reaching goal, you'll be able to say "Pfff this is nothing, look where I started !!" ;o) The WW staff has seen it all believe me there's no judging or finger pointing, they'll just be happy to see someone else make the right choice and decide to get healthy ! Go for it go go go go!!! Will~ "Brad & Rach" wrote in message ... Im so scared of the initial weigh in though ;-( |

What I realized in hindsight, was that here I was again facing my perceived failure of (Sorry Britney) "Whoops, I Dod It Again" The Truth, is that it takes great courage to admit defeat, ask any alcoholic. They will tell of one of the great paradoxes is that to admit defeat is to win. So Brad & Rach, go for it!!! Step up and be counted as a loser of weight, and a winner of life.

You know, I started a little over 196 lbs.. I'm always been the skinny
sporty chick, and when the subject of what would have happened.. I was like "Oh I don't think I'd have made it over 200lbs... like that would never happen to me.. It's like "yo dummy, you were not even 4 lbs from it.. If I hadn't met that mean doctor I wouldn't have done a thing about it.

Im so scared of the initial weigh in though ;-( Welcome! I know exactly how you feel. All weigh ins were in some way scary. I really don't know why - probably the anticipation more than anything. I hope you did join! Let us know how you did Here's our welcome notice to get you started. 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 Other acronyms: http://www.wwlissa.com/dwlz100+/100+acronyms.htm Here's a short synopsis of the USA Flexpoints program 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. 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. Joyce WW starting weight: 228.8 - 2/5/02 current weight: 133.3 Lifetime: 4/4/03 And here's an explanation of Core/No-count by Laura - It is a great plan. You DO however need to make sure that you are eating at your normal Flex plan target number of points. This can be difficult for some and you WILL stop losing. Basic rules: 1. Eat as much of the core foods as you need to feel "satisfied" (not full). 2. If you want to eat foods that are not on the core foods list use you 35 weekly points allowance (WPA). Note: use these points on healthy foods and not junk. 3. Activity points are used to supplement the 35 WPA for Non-core food items only. They must be used on the day they are earned. Note: most people find that they will increase the amount of core foods because they are hungrier due to exercising. 4. 2 teaspoons of heathy oil daily is required. ~Laura Please note that if you live in onther countries (UK, Australia, NZ, Europe), the Points plans are different. The UK and Australia/NZ calculate points based on saturated fat and total kilojoules. Most of Europe calculates based on total fat and total kilojoules. The desktop calculator above can handle all of these programs. 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!
