Cheerios did it.... Whoosh!!!!

Hi Debbie, and congrats on your whoosh, that's GREAT! And how fun for you and your friend to go to
WW together. 🙂 Hmm, Cheerios, what kind? Plain, honey nut? I bought the kind with strawberries in
it the last time I bought cereal and it was really yummy.

Congrats on that loss. I mixed my cereals up but Cheerios are in the mix. But this week it will be
real oatmeal much of the time since I make a double batch which is about 6 days worth.

Wow Deb, you've had a great month!!! Congrats on the super whoosh this past week, you are definitely
on the right track. I love what your dr. said, sounds like he is a super physician. I don't like the
nagging type, prefer those that are able to look at the big picture and add positive remarks. And
down anything in a years time is a step in the right direction.

How wonderful to have a ww partner now! I think this will only be an added benefit for both of you.
It's always much more enjoyable to have someone else to share our joys and trials with. I see you've
also set a mini-goal for yourself ... I like it! Very realistic goal with the holiday season in full
swing now, yet still looking at being DOWN. Wow - your strength amazes me!

You're making great progress. You prove that sticking with the program brings results. Maybe not
consistently. Maybe not when we want them. But over time, the weight does indeed come off. Those
fluctuations can be maddening, though.

Everyone should have such an encouraging and supportive MD. You've got a keeper!

Just the original Cheerios in the yellow box. I do top them with about a

Thanks Joyce, I actually had set that goal when the NYNY challenge started, but I never joined the
challenge officially. I wanted a realistic goal and I really wanted to see the change on the scale
to the next decade. I look at my weight loss in those small increments, otherwise is it so
overwhelming with the amount of weight I need to lose. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.

every post congratulating though, so I prefer to do it in one post when I start a new thread.

After jumping around for the past month, I have finally had a significant loss. For the past four
weeks, I have gained or lost small amounts.

+1.8 -1.0 +0.2 THIS WEEK -4.2

When I bought cereal last, I got some Cheerios, I have found that I have good losses when I am
eating Cheerios for breakfast.

I had pizza this week too, I planned for it though. Only had an apple

it was a fundraiser night at the pizza place.

Also had my annual physical and my doctor was thrilled that I was 2 lbs lower than I was a year
ago and told me to keep up the good work. I

asked

him about what my goal should be and he would not give me a specific
