Thanks guys. It's a good program, JG, and am very familiar with it since I've been on it more times than I can count! I just find the weekends to be a bitch...I'm more disciplined and structured during the work week (with writing down, counting points, water intake, everything).
I've still had a really difficult time breaking the food rut, although the last two days have been good. I suspect this will be the last week without a loss for a while.
I also had an hour long workout at the gym this morning which felt great!
I'm at a plateau, I think. I've been exercising more than usual lately and watching what I eat, but the scale hasn't budged for a few weeks. Anyone have pointers?
Not officially (because I can't afford it at the moment), but I've been pretty mindful of points values and trying to shoot for the amount for my current weight.
At the last meeting they told us that as we lose, to keep checking that we're in the right points range (b/c we lose points as we lose pounds). Maybe switch it up a little bit with the food? That's something I heard works (bringing in different things) and that is hard for me since I'm so picky! Introducing different fruits, vegetables and forms of protein, etc.
I didn't post yesterday because I didn't lose this week. I was not happy. I am not sure what happened. I worked out 5 days and totally stuck to the program. Oh well. It's a new week.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!
You've been doing so well, JG, that it was bound to catch up with you eventually. WW recommends you lose 1-2 pounds a week, and it seems you were losing much more than that. Your body is probably just balancing out the loss. But, anyway, it's just one week. Don't let it get you down.
Sure. I went through a very similar experience when I started out over the summer. It was quite unsettling when things started calming down after the first few weeks.
