Today's topic: ...how has Living The Lifestyle thread and GoaD helped you navigate your overall weight journey. Yikes! Where do you start? Pithy sayings like “There is no finish line, Progress not perfection. Helping me to learn and unlearn weight loss reality verses generally held myths. A fairly solid, drama free…

Lin and Greg, thanks for this. Felt odd asking myself! Yay! Worked for me too. Wicked smaaht.

Present.

If I could change one thing about my experience it would be that I wish I had learned the ins and outs of weight loss earlier in life. I am not sure why it has seemed to work better for me on this round of WW, but I am glad it has. Funny thing is that if I recall correctly, I am not doing much differently in terms of…

I am keeping steady in June. In fact, I have lost nearly ten pounds during the pandemic. I have time for meal prep while WFH and that means more salads as well. Also, I refuse to do any dining outside of the home and that includes take out. So my diet is far more controlled. And I am absolutely fine with that.

Good morning, Goadies!

Here.

Our Summer in New England lasts somewhere between 3 hours and 3 days, so it’s good to enjoy it while it’s here. Normally, I am stuck below deck at my oar at work on the slave ship. Exaggerating? No. My office is an enclosed section off the shop floor without windows and even a distance from the exit doors to the building.…

Not this round. But I am only 18 months in. However, recalling my previous round with WW, it was definitely no longer tracking and the accompanying portion creep that not only threw me off track, but in the ditch and run over.

Present. I think.

Present. Finally.

Sorry so late today, Goadies! My day started at 3 a.m. and is just winding down now. On top of that, I completely missed it was Wednesday. In regards to the question...while my regular lack of sleep doesn’t significantly affect my loss or maintenance, I find it definitely affects my cravings. I think my body-mind…

Good morning, Goadies!

I have mentioned before that I am a creature of habit. For the most party it serves me well. I also don’t consider a sequence of steps and habitual repetition either boring nor troublesome. Again, that works for me. In regards to the weight loss, having a Goal that I can works towards with tools like tracking is another…

Good morning, Goadies! Just under the wire.

Good morning, Goadies.

I am a creature of habit and tend to focus only on what I am currently doing. Be that shortsighted or not, it keeps my head from spinning out on the “what if’s”. That being said, while I know that nothing is permanent and change is ever present, I expect to stay the course. I will keep doing WW, whatever Plan works for me.…

Good morning, Goadies! TGIF.

Dang. Wasn’t done. Fast forward to January 2019. Disgusted with my weight and knowing how I had lost using WW in the past, rejoined. Online only, naturally. The Plan was Blue and somehow, someway, it worked this time. I liked it and was successful with it. I remember saying I will set my Goal weight at 160 since I know…

I joined WW in 2009 at my heaviest lifetime weight and managed to lose 40 pounds and made Goal in less than a year. At the time the Plan was Points+. I was elated and kept tracking through Maintenance until 2010. I am not one who hates tracking and in fact, have a strange affinity for it. I like it as a guideline and…

My need, or at least my perception of it, of support has definitely changed with the years doing WW. I believe that as long as a workable plan is set before me, for nearly anything, I don’t need anyone to hold my my hand along the way. Show me what to do, explain a process, and I am fine. That being said, the information…

Good morning, Goadies!

Tracking, well...keeps me on track. Pun intended.

G’nite, Goadies.

Ditto regarding anything outside of my three square meals as a snack. I never bristle at the concept of snacking for a couple of reasons. I am not overly concerned over “clean eating” or nutrition. And as long as I am happy with my weight trends for the week I am fine with eating any snack. Also, the Plan is written to…

My efforts are not in need of renewing. At least not now. Been on course since 1/2019. Believe me when I say I am under no illusions that I am bullet proof. Hence not straying far from Plan or tracking for nearly 18 months now.

Good day, GoaDies.

Gnite Goadies!
