I talked myself back from the ledge. I went as far as to schedule an appointment with Medifast, but after reading more decided that would be my dumbest waste of money since . . . I don't know . . . maybe NFL Sunday Ticket for a Browns fan?
I don't need their ultra-processed meal replacements to lose weight.
Instead, I need to do what worked before:
- set an appropriate target,
- honestly and faithfully track,
- eat mindfully,
- make the better choice,
- stick with it,
- hang out here more, and
- tackle a new mini goal each week.
This week, my mini goal is: 100% tracking for seven days.
Anyone want to join me in this challenge? What is your weekly mini goal?

Well, three days into it, I'm dead even, but no weeklies left.
Goal is to be even, or below what's left. And, hopefully, a loss at Friday's weigh-in.2 -
Can mine be to NOT gain at WI?
Last WI I gained 2.6# so I'm going to try and not gain.2 -
Ok, I'm in. Goal this week is some form of exercise every day. I've got a couple tennis matches set up, so really I need to pay attention to walking on the non-tennis days. I've sort of let that slip, the last two weeks.

I'm in with tracking AND posting the results on the daily accountability thread the next morning.1

I am doing great tracking but keep going over my daily target and rely on cardio calories. I'm in for staying on target (not eating cardio calories) 5 of 7 days1

I'm traveling Wednesday through Friday for work. My goal is to NOT use that as an excuse to blow my calorie budget. Even though I won't be in control of the meal times, it doesn't mean that I have to eat like I'm not going to see food for another week. Really.1

I love the idea of weekly goals. My goal this week is to do all of my scheduled exercise activities this week (Friday as a rest day).1

I'm with you Calvin! Last week I found myself thinking that I needed to do something drastic! Reality is, I just need to keep doing what I've been doing. I've been tracking and eating just a few of my WPs, but the scale is not cooperating. I'm up one week and down the next, rinse and repeat. The trend is down, but extremely slow!
So this week I will do what I know works and just wait it out. AND, I'm going to start moving! Maybe that's what I need to get things moving down at a better rate.1 -
Tracking works???
Who would have thunk it????
I am in for tracking 7 days1 -

I track everything, but don't necessarily stay within my calorie target.
My weekly goal for this week is to end the week with my average daily calorie intake to be under my calorie target. This will give me some flexibility from day to day to be over or under my daily target.1 -
So far, so good. It's been a while since I tracked one entire day, so counting a small victory already.2

How will you know if you've achieved that? (i.e. how are you measuring that?) Is it just 'yes/no'? Or is there some shading in there that could measure progress towards the goal?

Well, my weigh-in on Friday I was DOWN 1.0
. My little tracker I'm using showed 50 SPs left (including the 42 weeklies) , so that seems to be helping. 2 -

My WI was yesterday, down 1.8#
So I made my mini goal! Yeah Me!
My goal this week is to swim 3 miles by 3/31. That will get my March total to 10 miles, a personal best for me.
I swim 1/2 mile in laps, takes me forty minutes before or after my 50 minute aqua aerobics class.

@Al_Howard
There is a guy pushing his "theory" on Connect to eat all your weeklies. My WW Ldr tends to emphasize "that's what they're there for!" I used to not dip in to my weeklies but seem to more lately.
I never use Fit Points.
Whenever I think I should eat MORE to lose weight Steve Hendler comes to mind. He used to lecture me on that concept.
ETA: @countcurt in case you're lurking about.

My thoughts are ... you can eat all of your WPs, but based on the science of calories in vs. calories burned, if you eat more you will lose slower or gain.
The theory that you lose by eating isn't sound science and can't be proven by people who eat them. Just because they are losing does not disprove the fact that they would have lost more if they'd eaten less.0
