Back on plan today...I"M STARVING!!!
Be yourself, to the extreme!
I have been maintaining shockingly but now am back on plan. Did badly yesterday because I had leftovers of chicken strips for dinner but I am easing back into it. Today is a new day. I think I will go for a run tonight that always boosts my weight loss. Running this week it is!

You don't have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great. -Lee J. Colan
I lost 15 pounds on WW last year and will probably start again in January because I gained it all back.I have two events this year - a 10 mile run at the end of April and the LiveStrong century in July. I know once I start training for distance (well, for the 10 miler, I only have to run 7-8, so that's not too bad), I won't lose weight, so I want to get the 15-20 pound off before then. And honestly - WW is the best way I've found to get 'er done.
As for AP points - I routinely burn 60 and 70 APs a week and when I do long rides, the APs can get as high as 90. I have to eat the APs or I'm ready to eat my desk. I'm 5'10 and my points are 26. If I have an AP day of 10 (which is not unusual), and I eat all of the points (no flex points, just AP and regular points) and then I track my calories in SparkPeople (oh yeah, I belong there, too and it is a great FREE website for tracking calories - I just need the discipline of meetings - and I HATE when they push their crap), I find I eat around 1800 calories. Which, for my height, weight and activity level, is at the low end of what most fitness charts say I should be eating. I also find I can be quite satisfied with that, IF I make sure I eat plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. And I know I can eat more calories if the food is high quality than I can if it's not.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

I've hit a major wall. I didn't even realize it until today, but I've been in the same "decade" of weight for FOUR months, meaning I've only lost an average of 2 lbs per month. That's horrible! I exercise, watch what I eat, and I just can't shake the weight. I've still got a long way to go too (been doing WW for over a year now, still have 40 lbs to lose, lost 50 so far).
i'm cutting my points by a couple to hopefully get me jump started, and looking into getting a personal trainer in the new year.

50lbs is ALOT of weight to lose...and 2lbs a month isn't so bad...slowly but surely!!!
