Susan - I think you just answered the question I was going to ask...are you eating your extra 35 points each week? If not, and you are exercising that much, I'm not surprised that you got sick! You need to eat more!

If you find that you don't lose when you eat those extra points, then just do it every few weeks or so to give your body a 'break'. Right now, I'm eating every single point I am given or that I earn and I'm STILL hungry. Luckily, I'm pretty sure I'm still losing too (but I've got a long way to go compared to you!). Eat those points and keep that metabolism crankin'!!

Just for a sanity check: 19 points/day is only about 950 calories! I know you are eating your AP too...but even so, you need more fuel for your sanity (and your health).

I do eat all my APs. Plus, I usually end up eating 10-15 of the extra 35. But this week, I think I'm going to eat them all. I believe in listening to my body. For the first 9 weeks, my body was cruising right along shedding around 2 pounds per week, and feeling pretty good while doing it.

But this last week has been a drag and you're right - I need to give my body a break!

>>Just for a sanity check: 19 points/day is only about 950 calories!

I think I usually manage closer to 1150 or 1200 because I choose very high fiber foods, which gets me more bang for the buck, calorie-wise. For example, I bought these great tortillas that are around 100 cal each, but they have 9 grams of fibers each. Counts for just 1 point. Nonetheless, you're right - 19 points isn't very much!! I think I've only had one day where I've eaten that few points.

Ooh, what tortillas, may I ask? Local ones?

I could use a few higher fiber foods besides veggies to increase my food volume myself!

Tumaro's MultiGrain Low Carb Tortillas - I buy them at the Fred Meyer on Cornelius Pass Road (at Hwy 26). I'd imagine all the local Freddies would have them. Don't know where they are manufactured, though.

http://www.tumaros.com/locarb.htm Looks like thay are based in California.

Incidentally, I'm not doing a low carb diet. I love my carbs. I buy these because of the high fiber content, not the low carb label. They're really tasty and have a nice chewy texture.

I was looking at some old Christmas photos from my first trip on WW where I got down to 125. I looked like I was ill and yet I was still at the top of my desirable weight range (I am only 5'2"). My face was so hollow and my cheek bones so pronounced, it was a bit scary. I am not sure how low I will go, I cancelled my WW online and the past few weeks have been struggling with accountability and exercise yet maintaining at 20 lbs lost (yippee). I think the lack of exercise is causing a distorted body image because I feel fat.

I am trying to find a balance and trying to determine how much more I want to lose. I just don't want to look ill again! I may try FitDay, I don't know. What I do know is I am trying a run tonight. No ifs ands or butts!

Awesome, thanks! I'll check the Freddie's I pass on the way home and if they don't have them, I can hit up the one you mention at lunch tomorrow. That's only about 5 minutes from where I work, anyway.

I used to use a high fiber tortilla when I lived in NC, but my store back there stopped carrying them when low carbing went out of style for mainstream Americans. While I'm not a low-carber per se, I do like all the high fiber, low sugar products the popularity of that eating style made available for awhile.

Where's your office? You must be really close to us, because we're only a couple minutes from that Freddie's as well. We're one block from the intersection of Cornelius Pass & West Union.

I know exactly where you guys are. I've biked past your building and I've also picked up an order from you guys once since moving here.

I work right next door to the Hillsboro Library on Brookwood Parkway. I guess it's technically more than 5 minutes, but it's close!
