I went to WW last night, which isn't my "usual" night (just one night sooner), cuz my friend couldn't go tonight cuz she's going to a ball game with her hubby....
and I lost 3.2 lbs. !!!!! cheers

That's 22 total!! woo-hoo!
I guess it wasn't a plateau at all, probably just a little bodily adjustment~ Laughing

WW defines a plateau as being the same weight for several weeks or months, I guess 1 week doesn't count as a plateau.
Still doing my yoga, which I love, love, love. I love you

And I'm leaving for vay-cay on Saturday morn....I'm a little scared. I won't be around for weigh-in next week, or the WW pep talk, but I did get a great pep talk last night. Everyone there is so wonderful & supportive....they all knew I was going on vacation & gave me encouragement & tips, and told me not "to beat myself up" over any wrong food choices & just try not to "go overboard". It was Soooo nice to hear it from all of them (the people at the meeting)....I felt special, Like they were all there for ME, to support ME, when they know I am terrified of losing control on this vacation.
I plan on using the pool everyday I'm there, & as for walking, well....I feel that it will be SO hot there that I may not get in a whole LOT of walking, but that's ok, cuz if I just try to make all my usual healthy choices, I should be fine. Afterall, it's only 5 days!!! Very Happy

Well,just thought I'd update you all...I thank God for finally directing me toward WW...I really don't think I could have done it without them. Not at this point in my life anyway.

Excited for you Cheapy bounce

Yep I got off my so-called plateau and jumped to the 22 lb loss too.... my energy level has jumped wayyyy up there now.......enjoy your vacation, consider it a reward for your weight loss and just try to keep yourself moving and having fun. What I have found helpful when we go out to a buffet with lots of food choices is to just put one bite's worth of all my favorites on my plate, plus salad and lots of water- I satisfy my taste cravings and end up comfortable, not stuffed and guilty Cool

THAT IS AWESOME, Donna!!! cheers

I am Sooooo proud of you!!!

It IS a lifestyle change...I eat Soooo much better than I used to. I always liked fruits & veggies, but I wouldn't always "choose" them first!! (know what I mean?)....sweets would get chosen all the time!! Rolling Eyes

And portion control was a BIG issue with me, no more though. However, i do need to still talk myself out of having more when I want more~ Rolling Eyes

Writing things down, counting points, all help ME.
I could never have done this at THIS point in my life without WW. You know, you get set in your wys, your body is not the same as it was when you were 20 yrs. old, you know what I mean.
I need special encouragement these day! Laughing

I need to be held accountable each week with weigh-ins so I don't become lax (sp.?) ok, apathetic ( Laughing

).
27 lbs.thus far, 30 more to go! (yeah, that seems like alot, no one really believes I need to lose 30 more lbs. but I DO!, and no I will definitely NOT look skeletal!)...actually I could become a lifetime member at 24 more lbs. lost!! woo-hoo! then I wouldn't have to PAY anymore!!! That's what I am aiming for!!! Cheerleader
