Yep, I started WW 11 days ago at 210 and today I am 197.... Question;
I
know that when you first start any diet, you lose water and pounds
quickly
for a couple of weeks and then it slows down. When it slows down, how
slow will it be? maybe just a couple of pounds a week or less?....

I like to know whats waiting for me around the corner...I always build
bridges for the 100 year flood; and it just came last year!
..........Windy

When it slows down INCREASE your exercise. If that doesn't work EAT LESS.

you can eat too little, that is part of my problem, between vlc and
medications I have the world's most efficient metabolism, I have to eat all
my points or I go into starvation mode and don't lose at all, Lee

Hi Windy......to be realistic, you should only plan to lose approx. 1 to
2
lbs max. per week.......as you get closer to goal, you may lose less
because
it gets a little harder to lose.


As it gets harder to lose I would think *LESS FOOD* and MORE EXERCISE
would
keep the lbs coming off. At least that's what I observed with a few of my
friends.

I do eat all my points. I believe most of us do. In fact it seems a lot of
folks tend to go over their points from what I've read here. )

let me clarify, I mean when I am doing flex, I eat the daily points, every
Activity point and all the WPA... keep in mind that this varies for people,
others can't eat all I do or they gain, Lee

I think that is true in some ways, but more specific to the individual in
others. I know that when I exercise regularly I can eat my points, my
AP's, and my WAP's and still lose regularly. If I'm sidelined for any
reason then it's daily points only if I want to see a loss.

Exercise makes maintenance a bit easier too. Muscle is more metabolically
active than fat so building muscle lets you burn more calories doing
nothing.

I also think exercise is healthy for us whether we want to lose weight or
not. Even when I reach my goal, should that day ever come, I plan to
continue walking at least a mile 5 to 6 days a week. Use it or lose it.
