HI all,
Just stopping by to say hi to those who have been on DD during 2011-2015. All is well with me. I have been on WW for a while now & although I have not reached my goal I am at least maintaining. Sort of thinking of quitting WW but that is probably a mistake. DD was very helpful to me when I lived overseas and I am grateful to many members who are no longer active. I’ m sure that others have taken over. It’s fun for me to go back to my early DD posts . And honestly, nothing much has changed for me as far as my eating. I have learned a few things along the way and have increased my exercise. Things do not get easier with age, though! Take care and all the best to everyone!
Hi DD friends,
Doing okay on WW . Well, except for the last few days which I can turn around . Extremely slow weight loss but still a loss every weigh in. The last few days have to do with sugar which I just have to avoid. All Christmas related- cookie exchange & peanut brittle. !! It all starts with one small taste & then it's bad news. Today will be better. Going to stick with WW. Trying to keep my eye on my goal of healthy eating & being a healthier person. Dealing with some knee pain & starting PT today . The knee pain has interfered with exercise so hoping to turn this around.
My best to everyone!
Stick with your WW - but remember that veggies - you can always eat veggies - they will not mess with your points...use veggies as your free...(except for higher cal potatoes which you can work into points...) you keep on going. you are doing well. remember that!
I'm convinced that sugar is my enemy. If I just stay away from it altogether, I do much better. Oh but it's so hard -- those cookies look so pretty!!!
Hi-
Still following WW. Seems to work for me although still slow progress but progress none the less. Some weeks as low as .4 to a high of 2 but have had a loss every week for 9 weeks. So it doesn't feel like a diet as there are no foods that are off limits. It's just a matter of tracking everything and staying within a certain number of points. I actually enjoy the tracking of food & exercise. I'm using a fitbit so having fun trying to get to 10,000 steps on some days. Also I've found a meeting that works for me that is at 7:30 so it doesn't interfere with anything going on during the day.
Thanksgiving will be at a restaurant so no leftover issues. That's good but will miss the smell of turkey roasting & sitting around the family table. I guess I can roast a turkey on another day. Brilliant idea, right?
Now going to read some posts. Hope everyone is doing well.
I plan to get a fit bit relatively soon...or, even without it, i try to keep a general idea of if i am active each day (or not). Not always active, but i try to be at least a few days per week :)
I like how you are eating Thanksgiving at a restaurant lol...as long as there were veggies, i would be HAPPY! but, nice at home too. both ways are good ways. Turkey is really healthy - hopefully you can plan to cook one. Maybe there's sales on turkey after thanksgiving! = a better buy for you!
Hi all-
Just checking in . I've been going to WW meetings & tracking on the WW app. So far so good. It's been 6 weeks & I have nothing to brag about but losing a portion of a lb each week. I have increased my exercise which helps . Part of the 6 weeks I was away & was able to stick with the program. What I like about the program is that there is less focus on the scale & more on healthy eating & exercise. It is amazing to see how much weight some of the members have lost. There is a Connect aspect to WW where members post pictures and comments. My plan is to stick with it. Hope all is well with everyone!
Hi-
Thought I would stop by to say hello. Sorry for not posting and just stopping in occasionally. Have re joined WW and seem to be on a good track. Realize that to see consistent results that I have to increase my exercise and not go off track with food. I do think that WW has a good program and more focus on healthy eating and not as much emphasis on the scale, So more focus on making good decisions which then hopefully show results on the scale. More talk on changing the mindset. Which I can say is exactly what I need. No matter what it is a struggle and I have to say "no" to foods that get me in trouble. Have cut back on wine as well. Although no foods are off the program. It's just a matter of tracking everything and being honest about everything that I put in my mouth. Now in my 4th week after rejoining and I can see staying on the program for a while. The first time that I joined it was online without meetings. I found a meeting that I like so will stay with that meeting. Also using a fitbit and that is fun to see how many steps I take in the day. Did I read somewhere that we should take 10,000 steps in a day?? That would be hard for me. Yesterday I was only at 7500 & that was including a 2+ mile walk . Hope everyone is doing well.
I was reading somewhere that cutting out drinking will, for sure, help a person maintain a lower weight :)
Nice job so far. Yes, it's all in the mindset and easy to get off track and have slip-ups. I've been spending October getting myself back on track. September was a doozy of excitement and some indulgence.
Hi-
Been in & out of being on track, if you know what I mean. But today is a new day & I am ready to try to put one good day after another. Also, a bit off of my exercise routine. It has been too hot for outside exercise & haven't been to the gym for a week. Today though is cooler so a good day for a walk.
I recently saw a movie called Bad Moms. There was a joke about getting back on the horse, so to speak.... "Get your tits up!"....meaning, forget about feeling bad about things & keep charging ahead and make things happen! you can do it. welcome back to getting back on track.
Hi-
Getting back on track . Except that today I had a dental procedure so just soft foods. So it will be a different kind of day for food. Soup, smoothie, mashed potatoes... Oh & a little bit of ice cream.
Decided not to get on the scale this week. Concentrate on eating within my calories & watching carbs . That is one thing that I learned on the new weight watcher plan- to not just concentrate on the scale.
i hope your dental procedure goes ok!
Hi-
Back home after a nice long visit with my mother & niece & her family. Wasn't as good as I had planned as far as food, but ready to get back on track.
Very hot here as it is in most of the country. Thankfully have a good a/c so am comfortable at home. Going to an outdoor event tonight though & not looking forward to an uncomfortable evening. Also a food event so I'm at the mercy of others who are bringing food, I'll just pick & choose.
Hi-
Now in the Midwest . Trying to watch calories & carbs . Have had a couple of glasses of wine & a few extra snacks but doing well with meals. Doing a lot of walking. No scale in sight so will do the best I can. Today back to posting my foods using my food app.
enjoy your time there, i've never been!
Hi-
Nothing big to report. Staying on track, Might have had too much fruit. Last night went to an outdoor concert with the family & brought cupcakes for a birthday & fruit for me & everyone else. So there was quite a bit of fruit left & I seem to have finished the blueberries & raspberries tonight. Oh well, probably okay.
Golf today. Very humid so by about the 3rd hole everything that I had on was stuck to my body. I did play a bit better than the last time so I was happy with that.
One more day & then leave for MN to visit my mother.
fruit sounds really tasty. i love raspberries. so sweet :-D...
What kind of concert was it? i love a nice outdoor concert. I have a love for music performance as i used to perform!

Nice to have you back...and you have intrigued me to look at my own past posts today. i clicked on 2 of them and both were negative...but i have improved TONS since them...both happened to be days where i binged and overate...and since those years, i haven't had nearly a day in at least a couple years since then where i've eaten near the high amounts of calories i was eating then....so there is improvement thank gosh and i no longer overeat with such ease thank gosh!
there are some new DDers and even some oldies still remain on here...a nice balance...welcome back! i was here in the past also 2011-2015!
oh, and yes, even i at 35yrs old see how things don't get easier with age. but we have to keep going.
