Weigh-in March 19th

Today I weighed-in at 67.2 kilos. That makes another remarkable loss of 600 grams. I have not had this many steady weight losses until I started my version of the Wendie Plan. Although they're not huge numbers, I can get used to this.

After the unusual weightgain on Thursday morning I stopped taking Voltaren and drank like 4 litres of water on Thursday and then again on Friday. This I think helped flush all the drug out of my system, allowing the water retention to stop as well.

On the Au Weight Watchers plan I am meant to be eating 20 points a day up until I weigh 65 kilos, but being just above that I have decided to try to go down to 18 points a day this week. This will make the Wendie Plan a lot harder because on the superlow point day I will only be allowed 12 points, but I think if I try it, these last 4.2 kilos will go a lot quicker.

A man reached his goal weight today at my Weight Watchers meeting and I vowed (to myself of course) to be the next one at my meeting to do that.

I've also been thinking a lot about what I want my personal goal weight to be, and I think that getting a few kilos under my WW goal weight may be a good idea so I won't be in danger of going over it.

I of course will let you guys know how I am doing with that. I did take 1 50 mg tablet of Voltaren today because I noticed some of the pain in my arm returning. But there is no way I am going back to taking it 3 times a day. Nuh-uh.

I am feeling sooo tired right now. The cat has been waking me up early in the morning and although mr. ralph is taking a nap right now, I just can't fall asleep.

Emotionally I feel a bit on the lower end of the scale, but I think again that is probably due to the lack of rest over the last few days.

You should be so proud with your weight loss success! I weigh about 193 lbs. right now and I SO WISH that I could lose about 45-50 lbs by mid-June for my neices wedding. Part of my weight problem is my thyroid...the other part is that I've had a chronic illness for 3 years and I'm just starting to feel like myself again. I used to be very in shape and work out at the gym 3-4 times a week. But, once I got sick and my thyroid went nuts I didn't have the energy to go plus I physically didn't feel like it.
My husband and I recently joined a community center that has a full gym. We joined 2 weeks ago but I don't have anyone to go with me for the first time besides my husband and I have to wait for the weekends to expect him to go with me at a time besides 5 am or 8 pm. Hopefully this weekend he'll "hold my hand" and go with me and I'll feel "good enough" about myself to go alone next week!

Well done on another great loss this week.

I think I might have to try the Wendie plan. My pts are up and down each day anyhow, but Im not sure I could plan my "high" days, they just kinda happen, same with my "low" days. Its great the flexibility we have with the ww pts.

Good for you! :) I am frankly impressed by anyone who can recognize their anxiety and take positive steps to find a solution in the face of it. This is something I find very difficult to do for myself. You found one and now you are back on track -- this is a lot to feel proud and good about!

hi, I came here from michele. Remember, its a lifestyle than a diet. Stay away from white foods such as rice, pasta, bread. Drink lots of water and exercise. That's great that you are losing weight!

I think dropping to 18 points could be a good idea especially if you've been on 20 for ages. After all you're pretty close to where you'd 'have' to drop anyway, so why not give it a go?

You're so close now!!! :)

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

Butterflies

As some of you may know I love butterflies. I've always liked them, but the fact that the butterfly was once a caterpillar is the most amazing things about them. Right now I feel like a butterfly that has finally been freed from its cocoon. This weekend I gave away another huge load of clothes that don't fit me anymore and I have several bags just waiting to be dropped off at the donation centre. It feels incredible to put on a pair of jeans that once fit snug and now be able to pull them off without unbuttoning them. I've been lucky over the past week in my search for smaller, fashionable clothes at my local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've found some really good deals and even have a few designer brands, and all are size Au-10, most have even already been altered for someone as short as me, which is an added bonus. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I think there is no way I fit into a size 10 anything, let alone pants. It is surreal. I have been thinkin...
