I'm under 200! will it slow up now?

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!

You should aim to lose an average of one to two pounds per week from now
on. I know it sounds slow, but slow is the best way for many reasons,
not the least of which is psychological: you have time to get used to
the changes!

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

Actually exercise has very limited effect on weight loss.. it is extremely
important for your health, but weight loss-wise your food makes more an
effect than exercise..

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.

exercise has played a major part in my loss and my maintenance. Major. Those
few times when I could not for some reason or other would cause a stall in
my weight loss every time.

I'll go and tell the scientist they are full of it then.. ;op

I know that for myself, I'm controling the food easier when I work out than
when I don't.. but half an hour of working out at moderate intensity barely
burns an apple.. .

Actually the largest and most comprehensive weight research has been done by
the National Weight Control registry, and the majority of the participants
who maintain their lost weight exercise. NAASO also has many scholarly
articles by the top "scientists" in the obesity field that describe benefits
of exercise on body weight and composition. Don't know what scientists you
are speaking of? Send us a link .

I certainly can send some if you would like to do a little reading....

Copyright International Life Sciences Institute Feb 2006 [Headnote]
The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity highlight the need
for improved intervention strategies to counteract this significant public
health problem. To this end, it appears that increases in energy expenditure
through exercise and other forms of physical activity may be an important
component of effective interventions to enhance initial weight loss and the
prevention of weight regain. However, to achieve these outcomes, adequate
levels of exercise and physical activity appear to be necessary, with 60 to
90 min/d currently being recommended. While this appears to be a significant
amount of activity, overweight and obese adults should be counseled to
progressively increase to these levels of exercise and physical activity.
Moreover, there is significant evidence that even if an overweight or obese
adult is unable to achieve this level of activity, that significant health
benefits can be realized by participating in at least 30 minutes of daily
activity that is at least moderate in intensity. Therefore, it is important
to have interventions that target these levels of physical activity to
improve health-related outcomes and to facilitate long-term weight control.

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.
