Ak, final SWWC, Maintenance wrong way !
You settled for a new pair of running shoes. I got a new laptop! (G)
I have equated my feelings about my "new look" with getting a new high tech toy (a guy thing??) and so complemented it with a new high tech toy. I actually took an 8 week yoga course just as I started WW last Oct. But that ended and the times for a new session were not good - conflicted with the WW meeting, actually. I should check again. Hey, pecan pie is permitted - just in the right quantities. But I got nectarines just yesterday - perfect afternoon snack. Seattle proper has very few of the critters in town. The mountains are another story but they are gone for this season. As for freeze - today almost feels like it - chilly and foggy this morning and I can see that I will be exploiting that "clothing cushion" real soon. I feel the shorts today are adding to the chill. I saw one of the camping store catalogs had those zip-off pants - the lower legs zip off (in case your imagination got the better of you! (g)) We are running warmer than normal most days.

You know it is odd. I keep that daily average weight and it showed a small
loss last week despite. This week I have continued to be very hungry, and if I am That hungry I am going to eat something (just making real healthy choices).

I've been the same as you, Lesanne. Hungry so I am eating. I am making good
choices overall. For 5 days straight my scale showed an alltime low for me (just over 131), and did stick there. Stepped up this morning, the day before the *official* day ... and right back to where I was last week. So I'm thinking ... maybe the average IS the way to go. Why would 1 or 2 higher weight days be *truer* than 5 lower and constant weight days? Does it really matter? LOL Joyce On Thu, 02 Oct 2003 19:53:11 GMT, "Lesanne" wrote: You know it is odd.

I have been doing that average weight thing for ages. And keeping a total
lost column as well. When I compare the total loss from that method, with the total official WW loss for the same period, they are about .5 different. So it obviously is accurate, the WW loss is much more erratic on a graph. The average loss is almost a straight line, with the occational blip. "Joyce" wrote in message ...

Ak, final SWWC, Maintenance wrong way !
Your results are extremely interesting, and I do think they might be much more
accurate when looking at the big picture. I decided yesterday to give it the official go. On fridays, I will average the weeks results. Sooooooooo - even though my result yesterday was a lower number, my *official* average for the week turned out to be 132.2 (actual number on the scale was 132, and today was a tad lower even). I'm going with the average, am perfectly happy and comfortable with it. It takes the pressure off those swings that us women tend to deal with weekly.
