I think the neatest Thing is how my scale drops Right Back Down after a day or two of journaling and
staying OP. I really think that the years in the middle when I did not diet at all, but kept
exercising and lifting weights, built enough muscle to raise my metabolic rate. I lost that extra
couple of pounds in two days, each of them 31 points. I am really hungry at 31 too, which is not the
case with most of my friends on WW. They think that is a lot. I eat more than anyone on my journal
list, when I am Losing weight.

immediately! <G>
Quoted message said:I was over points on Sunday, as expected weight was also up this morning.
Oh,
Quoted message said:suppose I should also mention that I drank a whopping total of 1 glass of
water
Quoted message said:(probably had 4 cups of coffee too). Today I am waaaaaaaay under my daily
target,
Quoted message said:but I have eaten and eaten well - just am not very hungry for some reason
and I
Quoted message said:don't like to eat just for the sake of eating. Will definitely be
interesting to
Quoted message said:see what the scale throws my way tomorrow or Wednesday.
I do know that over the long haul, not journalling is not good for me. I
can get
Quoted message said:away with it for a few days or a week, but much more than that and I think
I
Quoted message said:conveniently forget or just plain ignore what I've actually eaten. And a
few
Quoted message said:weeks of behavior like this, and I'm in trouble. <sigh>
I did see an orthopedist when I was in my early 20's, for the knees. They
creek,
Quoted message said:groan, make some rather lovely noises. One locks up periodically, of
course only
Quoted message said:when going DOWN stairs - no warning until I'm on my butt. LOL But I
disregarded
Quoted message said:his advise on surgery and still am surviving with the same symptoms I had
over 25
Quoted message said:years ago - sooooooooo. My mom has had both knees surgically replaced, my
older
Quoted message said:brother has problems with his knees also - so I do wonder if something is
just
Quoted message said:plain heriditary. Of course, playing catcher for years in softball,
sliding
Quoted message said:constantly (improperly dragging and ripping open knees) probably didn't
help
Quoted message said:things along. Most of the time I no longer have pain, but I really do
feel it
Quoted message said:when the dampness sets in around here. I do tend to just ignore it and
keep
Quoted message said:moving. Like you, I don't see a Dr. unless absolutely necessary.
And fevers? What is it with them? I rarely ever get fevers either, most
the time
Quoted message said:my body temp runs well below normal. I know I have felt like I was dying,
only to
Quoted message said:be told my temp. was normal. Yeah, right ... normal for who or what?

Lesanne said:When I journal, I see that I have points to feed my very Real hunger.
And I
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:do it. Right up to whatever points are available. This past week was interesting. I was not
journaling despite wanting to, then I had a few
days
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:when I went WAY over. Just Starving. And feeling weak. I bounced up to
a
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:high of 161.5 right off, within 2 days of eating more. Then began to journal, but ate all my
points.. and voila, this morning 158.5. I think
I
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:have a very healthy metabolism, and it is most likely very important for
me
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:to eat "enough". I think if I journal all this week, by this time next
week
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:I will be back at my lower range of 156 - 157.5. It works for me very
well.
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:I guess I am just not ready to stop it yet. I don't have a good feel for what is enough.
Regarding knees? I damaged mine really badly as a teen with my horses. When I was gaining the
weight I had periods where they were horribly painful. Oddly enough, it also happened when I lost
the first ton, and again last year for a while. NOW my knees are not hurting at all. As a nurse,
I have a rule. Anything that is not gushing blood does not need
to
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:be evalutated by a doctor unless it hurts for more than 6 months. (I am
not

to
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:now
Quoted message said:feeling like I'm sitting in the balcony. <G> I thought my knees no
longer ached,
Quoted message said:I was wrong. The cold and damp lately has been a killer. At least I
now
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:know
Quoted message said:THIS problem isn't from the weight - just the danged injuries from my
teen
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:years.
Quoted message said:<sigh>
I have the opposite problem as you. When I journal, I tend to eat
less -
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:barely
Quoted message said:making the minimum of my points. I guess there are those days when I
feel
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:like I
Quoted message said:can't get enough to eat, have never looked back to see if the two
relate
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:at all.
Quoted message said:One more thing to check into. I do think this problem for me comes
from
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:overplanning somewhat. Like today ... almost too healthy on all meals.
Even
Quoted message said:splurged on a hot fudge sundae (light fudge sauce, skinny cow vanilla
icecream,
Quoted message said:half a banana) and still only made it to 19 points. <sigh> Good thing
I
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:had
Quoted message said:overdone things greatly on Saturday, and probably will again tomorrow.
<G>
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:It
Quoted message said:really is a balancing act - kind of like we're walking a tightrope.
