Since there's been some recent activity on this thread, I thought I'd post a little update. Including the couple of pounds I lost just prior to WW, I have now lost a total of 16.5 pounds. I can hardly believe it! Two days ago I was able to shop at several stores that - just one year ago - I was sized out of! It felt so, so amazing, and it's making this hard work really feel worth it.
Kat, how do you get your necessary oils in? I know some people who just literally sip teaspoons of the stuff, but others who try to estimate it in the foods they consume. What have you found works for you?
Other than that, I'm averaging about 2 pounds of weight loss per week, consuming 27 points and exercising 30. I rarely use the bonus points or exchange activity points; this pattern seems to work for me. I have found that on average I probably consume an extra 7 to 12 points per week. But in calculating exercise that seems appropriate. Either way, it was a challenge getting used to the idea that I was not going to drop weight like I gained it (90lbs in four months - about gave my doctor a heart attack, so imagine how I felt!), but 2lbs is a very healthy rate, so I am perfectly satisfied.
Down, down the numbers go!
