Dots, as you know I've lost 40 lbs in about a year but that was on the caffiene, nicotine, my husband's crazy diet. And the addition of small holes in my esophagus have probably helped too. But I've noticed that I've gained back about 3 lbs in a month and can't understand it. I'm still exercising, still being pretty careful about what I eat. However, I have been having a beer or glass of wine a couple of times a week and I think that may be the problem. But regardless, it seems that since hitting menopause or whatever this is....post partial hysterectomy syndrone, I can gain pounds overnight even while exercising. So stick to the WW but my one bit of advice is that if you eat bread and potatoes....stop. That seemed to be the one thing that dropped the fat off of my belly and butt faster than anything.

A friend of mine and I signed up for Weight Watchers this week. How's it been going foryou Dotsie? I did it about two years ago and lost 45 bound. I was usrprised when I weighed in because I have only gained 15 of it back in the two years. I still need to loose more than 30 pounds to be a lifetime member. We'll see how it goes. Today was my first day and I was so hungry off and on throught out the day that I was delirious.

I never went back after two meetings. Sorry, no help here! For three Saturday mornings I had something to do and didn't get there, and by then I had lost interest.

I wish you well with it. I think doing it with a friend is a good answer!

I'm still doing the walking thing five days a week. I'm not losing, but I'm not gaining either.

Just read Kathryn's post and she's right. It's the bread and potatoes. The starches, carbs, blah, blah, blah, for me. I'm a carbohydrate junkie and I' trying to cut back a little, but it's not easy! [Mad]

Well, I lost 6 pounds after the first week on WW. And for those of you who deprive yourself of carbs and sweets on Atkins, I had birthday cake at a party on Saturday and a low fat whole grain waffle with ice cream almost every night! It's all about writing everything down and keeping track of what you eat. So far I don't have that much trouble with it. They give three different ways to keep track. FOr those who need to write it all down or just want to cross off the number of points they 've used. I think I'll be sticking to this.

Way to go Candice. Sounds like a good diet for you. How did your friend do?

I bet you loved every morsel of that birthday cake! [Big Grin]

Funny how you appreciate things so much more when you don't indulge. Another way we take things for granted.

My friend lost two pounds. She was littel dissapointed because these other people who joined last week lost 7 pounds. I told her loss is loss. She be able to keepp the two punds a week thing for a few more weeks, probable, where as I will never lose 6 pounds in one week again. Our leader said if I lost that much next week, she'd call 911!
