WW

I can hardley control my excitment today! I am down another 2.6 pounds putting me at a total of 12.8 pounds. I have never LOST 12.8 pounds before. Some have asked what I've been doing. I am on the point system..I write everything down. Even if I do go over my points I still write it down, so the next day I can try to make better decsions about the food I am eating. Any chance I get I am trying to exercise. If its taking the stairs at work, or being a fool and rolling in the grass with the girls..All the movement helps.

I do know that sometimes its hard, like going to a baby shower (been there), going to a BBQ (done that). If I know we are going then I still have a good breakfast and lunch. I eat the food, that is offered (even if its a little bad), but until I am FULL, and try not to over do it. I try to eat more veggies thats being offered than the other food. I also pass on the dessert. I have realized I will survive without cake...I know amazing, huh? Then the next day I am back to the points again, also being very careful I don't go over the rest of the week on the points. If I mess up, I mess up that meal, not the whole day, not the whole week. I control the food, the food no longer controls me!

  3. WAY TO GO TASHI!!!! that's awesome and i'm very happy for you! i wont catch up with you for a while... but i'm down to 10 lbs this week. :) i'm killing myself on the HS track but i feel much better. i dont really think i'm doing it to look slimmer or anything, it just feels great to go and walk for 45 minutes and try to eat a little more healthier.
    keep going! and when you feel :( or discourage, email me and i'll cheer you up :)
    have a wonderful day!

  6. Way to go! Who knows, maybe you'll be my inspiration!! I've done the points thing and it does work, but for some reason I can't seem to get motivated to start on it again. I've told myself though that Labor Day is the mark of a new beginning for me. I'm giving myself from Labor Day through Memorial Day and I'll be using the points, so wish me luck! I am so proud of you!!!
