Miss Violette · 2004-01-26T09:40:51+00:00

I weighed today still early but until everything settled I will be doing it on Tuesday. I lost 2.8!!!! This makes a total of 83.7 and I am impressed with myself. I have lost more but for some reason this one is the one I am most pleased with. It was so cold and I was sick because I got chilled at work so I guess losing made it really worth going. Good luck to everyone this week. Lee

What a fabulous way to start off the new year. Sounds like you had to work to get to your WI, but
the effort certainly paid off in a big way.
Fabulous progress to date. You're like the Energizer bunny; you just keep going and going.
If you're willing to say, how close are you to goal? I know you've been thinking ahead and beginning
to plan for maintenance. Just being nosy.

Thanks, I went partially because I was already out and I went partially
because if this is a WAL then part of real life is that it gets cold and I
get sick from being too cold and if I used the excuse that I was too
sick/cold then it would be too easy not to go until spring...and that would
be a complete disaster, Lee

I am honestly not sure what I have to go. It has been so long since I have
been close to a normal weight that I just don't know. To add to that I will
be 45 this year so there is an added allowance for that. From what I can
figure I have at least 32 more pounds to go and as much as 65 if I went to
the five pounds below my minimum on the WW scale. I just keep doing another
ten percent at WW so I don't get overwhelmed. I also know that I might want
a cushion under the WW weight but am not sure what I can easily keep off.
It would be nice if some at goal would tell us the logic they used for
arriving at "enough" off, Lee, and thinking you are not nosy at all

Thanks for saying you don't know. I too am realizing that setting my goal weight might be trickier
than I originally anticipated. For my height, WW recommends a weight range between 116 and 145. It's
been at least 30 years since I last weighed in the 140s, so it hardly seemed possible last February
when I started that I could ever weigh that again. About 7 years ago, I got a doctor's note setting
my goal weight in the 170s. But I know that's not where I should be. Heck, I'm lower than that now
and don't feel ready to stop.
I've used the weight calculator at halls.mdbody.htm, which suggests 140 as
my ideal weight. But other weight calculators I've used suggest 120, the weight my childhood doctor
said was my ideal weight.
In other words, I don't have any idea either how much more I have to go. Since I don't attend WW
meetings, I don't need the free meeting incentive for setting my goal at the high end. But without
anything else to go on, that's where I've set my goal weight, in which case, I've got "only" 22 lbs
to goal. At the rate I'm losing, I've still got a few months to decide. Like you I'm trying not to
think to far ahead and instead, focus on my mini-goals.
Thanks again for sharing your thinking. I know we're not alone in wondering how to know when to
stop. I'm pinching myself that I'm even having this discussion!

For you and Prairie: Clearly, going to meetings and wanting to not pay for a slight increase in
weight, there is the tendency to just pick an official goal at top of range. Then take it down below
that for one's clothing cushion (my terminology) or safety cushion or free-range so that a slight
gain will not put one too close to goal or rather going over goal.
As both of you mention, it seems so far away and unreachable for a while that it is hard to decide.
(I, too, had a doctor's note for
170) I know folks were urging me to stop about 20 pounds ago and that was OVER WW top. But in a
mirror I can see where even another ten pounds might create a more reasonable stomach/waist
profile but it also might be hard to hold onto - heck, holding onto this UNDER 160 is not that
easy. Now is that because it is just easier stopping now or getting the relief of being THERE
(that is at goal and safe) and why make oneself miserable or trying to push it even lower. Did
the artificial goal of 160 just kind of make me lose focus or interest or who the hell knows
what .....?
Muse on, you'll get there, too

I am honestly not sure what I have to go. It has been so long since I have been close to a normal
weight that I just don't know. To add to that I will be 45 this year so there is an added allowance
for that. From what I can figure I have at least 32 more pounds to go and as much as 65 if I went
to the five pounds below my minimum on the WW scale. I just keep doing another ten percent at WW so
I don't get overwhelmed. I also know that I might want a cushion under the WW weight but am not
sure what I can easily keep off. It would be nice if some at goal would tell us the logic they used
for arriving at "enough" off, Lee, and thinking you are not nosy at all Prairie Roots

What a fabulous way to start off the new year. Sounds like you had to work to get to your WI, but
the effort certainly paid off in a big way.
Fabulous progress to date. You're like the Energizer bunny; you just keep going and going.
If you're willing to say, how close are you to goal? I know you've been thinking ahead and
beginning to plan for maintenance. Just being nosy.
