GLC- Your post was so true! Points driven, I like that terminology. That's what I'm seeing in my meetings too. The people who have reached goal don't even really look healthy to me. They aren't interested in lifting weights, yet they complain about saggy arms. And they are walking 2-3 miles per week, and think that's great! it's all about the food, not the exercise. Last week I lost 2 lbs, didn't have as many AP as I usually have so the leader says "There you go! Now you know not to exercise so much!". Holy Cow, something's wrong with this. I think the reason I finally lost was taking out processed food.
There is a filling foods plan that is like the old Core plan, and you eat healthy non-processed food, yet it's hard to find this plan. My leader wasn't even aware of it, but it's online. (She's too busy sharing her Angel Food Cake, FF Cool Whip and FF pudding recipe)
I remembered Susan saying she did it online, and I think that's the way I'm going to go. I'm finding more encouragement and healthy guidelines here, than I can at the meeting. Should I just send you guys my $40 per month?
Edit: I do recall at one of my first meetings, the leader put something in her water and started shaking it. She demonstrated that we could get some exercise that way. Let's see, I rode my bike to the meeting, but I can get exercise jiggling my arm???
