Dear Janet,

I'm just reading this and am so proud of you!!! That's almost 20 pounds in 5 weeks.

WAHOO!!!

It does seem like it's going to take forever sometimes, but it won't. Hang in there and celebrate your successes. I still have my first star from 5 years ago hanging on my fridge.

At the WW meeting and weigh-in last night I was a expecting a weight gain and I got it! I gained a whole .2

I was so nervous on Tuesday with the ice and Ricky was driving so when I get really nervous I eat. I tried to pick good things, but slipped just a little. so .2 is not bad at all. I'll do better this week.

Janet, .2 could mean you drank an extra HALF glass of water before your meeting. LOL I wouldn't beat myself up over that. Even a monthly hormonal change can add an extra few pounds, so .2 is nothing to be ashamed of.

I'm just seeing this! You go girl! I wouldn't worry about that .2 lb...you are doing an awesome job.

Now, if I could just figure out a way to join your bandwagon. LOL

Well, I only lost .4 pounds (which a good passing of wind would have taken care of), so don't worry about it. You're going to have a week or three like that.

You're doing great!

Had our WW meeting and weigh-in last night. I lost 2.4 lbs and a grand total of 20.6 lbs.

So far I'm doing really good. I did discuss with them last night that for some reason this week I was feeling more hungry than I did the first month. On WW you should never feel hungry. I need to make sure I'm getting all my points (which I am) and not be afraid to use the 35 extra weekly points. I don't use many of those at all. I also need to make sure I get in my protein and fiber. I thought I was, but obviously need to check it more closely like I did when I first started.

I think that's an incredible weight loss Janet! Congratulations.

I lost 1.6 this week, making it a total of 2.4 pounds altogether. I was very happy!
It doesn't seem like a lot, but I only need to lose 10 pounds. I'm also using my 35 extra points since I can't live on 18 points/day.

I'm also finding that I'm hungry lately. I went to the produce store and bought a bag of baby carrots. At WW, I buy their snacks, which I love, but I can't add any extra points so I have to stick to veggies when I get hungry. I also eat fruit once/day because it's healthy. It's a balancing act - deciding between points and nutrition!

You're going to be very happy once you get to your goal weight and have figured out a good diet for your lifestyle.

That's so good, Janet!!!!! It's really starting to add up!!!!! Way to go!!!!

Congratulations Judy!!!! I think you're doing great too! I will take any weightloss I can get..even if it's .1....LOL. As long as something is coming off. I wish I only had 10 lbs to lose. You were very smart not to let yourself get really heavy like I did. I need to lose 101 lbs, really more if I can. 20 is gone, so I just need to keep going. My very first goal is to get to 1 lb less than 200. Then I'll feel like I'm REALLY getting there. Once I get there...I'll need to lose approx. 55 more lbs. I'll do it this time if it's the last thing I do.:thumbup:

If you keep losing at this rate Janet, you and I will reach our goals at about the same time!

You're both doing well!
Way to go Judy and janet!
I'm very happy for you.

Janet Congratulations and to you to Judy that is wonderful. I lost 7lbs. myself on my not eating to well plan..lol I am scheduled to have my implants loaded in two weeks.. so another few pds. will be coming off..
