NYNY week 5 Laura (LJ) :-(

Not a good week at all. Gained 2 lbs so I am back to 221. :-( This puts me
back to my 10%. arrgghh...My body just does not want to lose any more
weight. So unless the Swish Fairy pays me a visit I doubt I will meet my
NYNY goal anytime soon. This gain also puts my average weekly loss below 1
lb. Not a good sign.

Some of the gain was expected. Between Halloween and a severe case of
depression, I ate all of my flex points and then some. I went out to dinner
last night and just did not care since I knew WI was this morning and the
damage was already done for the week. Choices were not the best (onion
straws and rib tips). On top of that TOM is due any day now. I also just
can't seem to find the right number of Flex points to eat. Maybe I should
give up on the Flexpoints and go back to the old point range & banking
method I started out with.

Sorry about the gain, Laura. I know how hard you've been struggling to
hang on.

Winning Points may very well be the formula you need to help you get
your groove back. Hopefully with last night's dinner, you ate away
your frustration and can find your way back to being OP.

well heck LJ. If the other program was working better for you switch on
back!
lots of people at my meeting are using the old one.

Thanks for support.

I am hoping that some of the gain goes away by the weekend because it is
approaching TOM. Today was day 28. I expected it last week as my periods
have been 3 weeks apart since August. (Something wacky is going on with my
body for sure). The frustration is only being masked for unrelated
depression. A 3 year anniversary of a family member's passing is coming up
monday and I am having difficulty keeping it together. I should be better by
Wednesday so maybe some of the extra eating will disappear. The Halloween
candy has also been safely removed from the house.

I'll have to dig out the old spreadsheet. I hope I saved it on my hard
drive. My other thought would be to just cap my Flex points at the same
number of points per week the other program gives you for the week. That
would be roughly the same amount of food. It does treat the banking of AP
differently but that is okay. Its the trying to figure out the *magical*
number of flex points that has me stumped.

thanks Lee. I am hoping to get back on track shortly. Maybe a gain will
break the stall. You never know.

I hope you can make it through the anniversary with as little pain as
possible. It has to be hard.
