Back for life.
toni
alway's admire by reading their posts but i didn't have the guts to
join. Well finally the time comes past Monday i rejoin WW for the 4 or
maybe 5 time. WW is the best & healthy diet from all the rest but i was
fooling myself with low carbs & some diet pills. Back 1989 i lost 52
pounds & from size 20 down to 10 but i was need 2 more pounds to loose
to reach my goal but i was working on it for 3 months with no results so
finally i become stupid & ignore & i quit fooling myself that i know how
to do it & here i am back to 20 size & 227 pounds.Well i make my mind
to rejoin & stay with the program for life, of course i said that many
times before but this time i have to do it for my health & not beauty. I
am 55 years old & Thank God i have no health problems so far except back
problems so before i get sick i better do something right???? That's why
my friends i am here to get your support & who knows maybe i give my
support to someone again as i use to do in the past. Thanks for reading
my post.
Toni.

You'll find some great people here, and some wonderful support!
I also lost a whole bunch years ago, the entirely wrong way. I gained
it all back and more, and I'm continuing my journey to take it off.

better when I'm using my fingers to keep up with the newsgroup instead
of using them to graze the kitchen. Good luck.

I first joined WW 32 years ago and during the past two years I've really
been committed. It is much harder to lose the weight now but I am within
three pounds of my goal. I got back to goal last summer but a few
serious problems plus vacation this spring got me off track. I put on
almost 5 lbs above goal, which may not sound like much, but I'll have to
work hard to get it off. I am so happy and energetic when I am back on
the plan. I'm fortunate to have found an awesome leader and great group
at a meeting but I find these on line sites are very helpful too.
Welcome back and just know there are lots of us here for life.

supportive. Thanks again my friend.

to make it stick, so you're not alone. It took me an appointment with
the doctor and regular blood pressure checks to monitor my high blood
pressure (at 30!) to really make it sink in. I'm looking forward to
reading about your progress. Here's our welcome notice to "officially"
introduce you to the group.

Here's a short synopsis of the USA Flexpoints program by Joyce -
How many points you can eat is only based on your current weight, as you
lose weight those points allowed will decrease (logic is that your body
will need less to operate). At 183 pounds and based on the new US
flexpoints system, you will have a set point target of 24. In addition
to this you are allowed 35 flexpoints to be used throughout the week ...
as well as any activity points you earn on a particular day. When your
weight drops to 175, your target drops to 22 points ... weight reaches
150, target once again drop to 20 points. 3 servings of dairy of
recommended per day, 5 servings of fruit and veggies, minimum of 6
glasses of water.
The basic plan is easy. Eat at least your minimum daily number of
points. Points do not carry over from day to day. You are allotted 35
weekly flexpoints to be used at your discretion ... can divide them up
and use daily (would be an additional 5 points per day) or save them and
use them for a special occassion during the week. Activity points are
earned based when exercising, but can ONLY be used on the day they are
earned.

WW starting weight: 228.8 - 2/5/02
current weight: 133.3
Lifetime: 4/4/03
And here's an explanation of Core/No-count by Laura -
It is a great plan. You DO however need to make sure that you are eating
at your normal Flex plan target number of points. This can be difficult
for some and you WILL stop losing.
Here is the summary of the plan: http://ahwww.home.comcast.net/summary.htm
Here is the detail list of foods:
http://ahwww.home.comcast.net/wwcoreplan.htm
Basic rules:
1. Eat as much of the core foods as you need to feel "satisfied" (not full).
2. If you want to eat foods that are not on the core foods list use you 35
weekly points allowance (WPA).
Note: use these points on healthy foods and not junk.
3. Activity points are used to supplement the 35 WPA for Non-core food items
only. They must be used on the day they are earned.
Note: most people find that they will increase the amount of core foods
because they are hungrier due to exercising.
4. 2 teaspoons of heathy oil daily is required.
~Laura
Please note that if you live in onther countries (UK, Australia, NZ,
Europe), the Points plans are different. The UK and Australia/NZ
calculate points based on saturated fat and total kilojoules. Most of
Europe calculates based on total fat and total kilojoules. The desktop
calculator above can handle all of these programs.
Disclaimer: As an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, asdww is unusual in that
most of the people who participate are respectful, considerate folks who
freely share their experience with and knowledge of WW, weight loss, and
maintenance. Yet occasionally, spammers, trolls, and flamers show up to
post advertising, false information, insults, and the like. Nearly all
of the time, people like this are just trying to yank someone's chain.
Most of the regulars on this newsgroup offer their experience as a
suggestion to try if you're stuck, but are quick to advise that each
person has to find what works for him/herself. If someone posts
something that doesn't sound right to you, ask the newsgroup, ask your
WW leader, or ask your health professional.
Much success on your weight loss journey! WW works!
