Indeed it should, colleen!

Getting the gym in while horribly busy is my biggest problem now, too.

And bway -- you didn't see me trying to squeeze my ass into vinyl pants this weekend.

Back on topic - I'm doing really well. Dance classes are not the near-death experiences they used to be!

I walked the reservoir twice with a friend on Saturday - that's 1.57 miles around, and I walk about a mile to meet her there.

I'm bumping for people who, like me, do WW online and don't visit any pages other than the points tracker. One of my coworkers told me this morning that they've changed the points calculating system a tiny bit. If you go to your profile there should be a link to the "Personal Points Quiz." There are just three questions, but you might wind up with a few extra daily points. I got 1, my coworker got 2 and said she has a friend who wound up getting 9 extra. It's worth a look.

I've been doing better lately than I have in a very long time. My sister is getting married this weekend and hopefully my bridesmaid dress will not only fit but look damn good on me.

9 extra! Wow, that's quite a swing.

I haven't been monitoring my daily intake as much as I should. Damned holidays!

I haven't picked up too much extra weight. I'm at 193 this morning, but I really do need to get refocused.

The dress will be great ym78!

The 9 points guy apparently has a very active job. Unfortunately my job involves a lot of sitting at a desk.

Thanks Stephen.

It would probably help if I wasn't going to spend most of the time posing with my two tiny sisters with their metabolisms that allow them to eat whatever they please. But I suppose I'll live.

Ok--that's weird. Despite choosing that I sit for my job, I gained 6 points a day. I went from 22 points a day to 28. And yet, I only seemed to lose weight when I actually stuck to the 22 points. This is a little frustrating and confusing. Or maybe WW realized that some people were eating too little?

Well, I'm still in the same weight area I have been in for over a year. My thing now is exercising again, which has been excellent for the way I look and feel. But, I just don't seem to lose that much weight. Granted, I think I have spent the last year replacing fat weight with muscle weight and then vice versa and now vice versa again aka my weight hasn't really changed, but my body certainly has.

I'm in a good place at the moment. A friend gave me a sweater of his that he is allergic to. It fits perfectly and is really cute on me. And it's a Gap XS.

I think part of it is taking into account that you're male and likely have a higher muscle mass than most women.

Apparently, again according to my coworker, there have been mass freakouts on the WW message boards from people who are winding up losing points and going down to 18 daily. The obvious voice of reason is if what you were doing before is working for you, just don't implement the change.

Congratulations Jerby, it sounds like you're doing really well.

Haven't seen this thread in a while! Glad to hear everyone's doing well!. i am maintaining my 15 lb loss. I would like to lose five more, but haven't counted points in a month. I find exercise every day helps me A LOT. I think if I go back to countring the points I can probably shake that last five.

Exercising is essential. I'm always fighting myself to do it, but am so pleased with the quick results when I do.

I'm the same way. I realized I had good intentions of working out in the evening, but after work, I'm usually too wiped out to even think about exercising.

So, I bought myself a few DVDs with 30-45 minute workouts. I do one every morning - get up, get out of bed, put my sneakers on, have a coffee and work out. Once I got into the routine, it was easier to do it daily. Now I'm finished working out before I even get ready for work and don't need to think about it later in the day. I didn't think I was a morning workout person, but it's working for me. As long as I'm consistent, I keep seeing results.

You have to find what works for you.

Sometimes I am too tired to go to dance class, but the way I motivate myself for Mondays, when I have ballet and tap, is that I love tap. So I can say, okay, get through ballet, and tap is your reward!

Thursdays, which are ballet and then jazz (and our jazz syllabus is yoga/pilates/jazz - really strenuous) is much harder to motivate for. I'm still working on making that one every week.

I love The Biggest Loser Workout dvd. And a second one is coming out soon. I do that and tae bo mostly. I should start doing pilates again. And, of course, dance classes would be killing two birds with one stone.

The Biggest Loser workout DVD? Hmmm...
I particularly like Gilad, myself...he's HARD, tho! I've also been doing something called Budokan which is 20 minutes of yoga, 20 minutes of martial arts punching and kicking. And the guy who does it is shirtless and kind of looks like Frederick Weller so the tape has...dual purpose.

Just had a slice of pizza and a pack of M&Ms....the winter always gets me!

Yeah, see, that's my other issue - I am starting to work some junk food back into my diet! That does, however, give me more motivation - forces me to go to dance classes. I refuse to become soft again!
