Back on plan today...I"M STARVING!!!

[Aggie_Ama]

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!

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.

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!!!

Grey, those plateaus are so hard. I think that is why I fell off the WW wagon a while back. Most people will tell you to change/mix your routine or what you eat up. So to "jump start" your system. Not sure it every really worked for me.
I need to get back on, but I think I has said before...find it so hard to do WW now. Plus I need to understand the "new" stuff on it. I know 5 years ago when I lost weight I hardly EVER added any activity points. Except on the weekends of long cycling.
Of course I am not even trying to get started now...to much stuff and food issues at this time of year. So I try to be semi-good. So, yes, I will be one of those Jan. 1st resolution/clean slate folks. I am also planning to add a bike commute 2 days a week. It is easy for me to ride to work. But previously on running training plan and just could not find the time. But I think I have it worked out. Jan. 1st--watchout.

Oh and Grey,
Congrats...great weight loss!
