Newbie success so far

Welcome aboard Will, and congrats on your super losses so far. I agree with everything you have
written ... especially your motto that one day alone is not a killer. That's the best thing about
ww, it IS a program you can follow for the rest of your life. If I splurge one meal or one day, I
can always get right back where I want to be at the first opportunity. I've followed ww since Feb.
2002, honestly can say that I never once have been unhappy or had deprived feelings. I eat what I
want - just have learned to make smarter choices and control portions.

Enjoy those *real* sodies now. <g> As your daily point allowances decrease (they will as you lose
weight) you might have to find somewhere to let loose of a few points. I found that soda was one
place I had to give on. Now I have maybe 1 soda a week ... if that. <sigh>

Keep up the great work and I wish the best to you and your wife for continued success on your
journey. You've found a great place to be for advice, hints, tips, support and a gentle kick in
the behind if you feel you need it (you have to ask for it though). I hope to hear more from you
in the future.

I finally decided that it was time to lose the extra weight. In my highscool days I was always
around 180 pounds. It's ironic because I can still remember a time when I was desperately trying to
put weight on. I wanted to get to 200 pounds as I was starting to weight train.

Well as I got older and the metabolism started to slow a bit I got to 200 and even more. A few
months ago I had topped out at 230. I am 5'9 and that weight was way to much for me.

My biggest vices have always been fastfood (especially pizza) and sodas. I tried atkins but the
inability to drink sodas and eat bread on that diet ultimately doomed me. My wife said that she
wanted to try ww a few weeks ago and I told her I would try it with her. We weighed in exactly
three weeks ago and I was at 221 pounds.

I followed the points very closely and was able to lose 5 pounds down to 216 in the first week.
This was great because I still got to drink my 2 cokes a day and I was eating well with good low
point snacks. I figured that it was that magic first week weight loss that I have heard so many
people talk about and that it would slow down pretty fast.

Well at the end of two weeks at our second weigh in, I had lost another 5 pounds down to 211. This
was great because I had even slipped up once during the week and had a late night pizza snack. As
of today, in my third week I am down to 206. The weight has come off very quickly.

I think the biggest keys have been exercise and meal/snack planning. My wife and I shop together
for specific meals that will be filling and taste great. She made enchilladas that were delicious
and only about 7 points for a nice sized serving. We also eat lots of pop corn and fruit. I ride a
stationary bike at least 5 times a week for 20 minutes as well.

I live by a motto that one day cannot make or break you. It comes in handy in the best of times and
the worst of times. So many people give up if they have a bad day. The trick is to just get back to
the plan the next day. We all slip up every once in a while. Don't let that be an excuse to give
up. Additionally, nobody ever met there goal in a single day. Make a plan for the long term that's
fun and that you can commit to.

You seem to have the right attitude and certainly are doing extremely well.

Yup, with WW, there is not STOPPER. A bad day, is just that ONE BAD DAY. You do not need
induction or anything else to return to program. And as you've learned - eat in moderation and
still feel full.

Welcome to the group, Will. I love your attitude and your progress so far. You are dong great. As
someone has pointed out you may want to learn to limit your soda intake. Not only do they add extra
points to your day but also a lot of sodium. I used to drink a lot of diet pepsi until I noticed how
much sodium there is in a bottle. I have learned to drink water, fruit flavored seltzer or Very
Fine's Fruit 2 O flavored water. All with splenda and low sodium.

Here's a short synopsis by Joyce -

How many points you can eat is only based on your current weight, as you lose weight those points
allowed will decrease (logic is that your body will need less to operate). At 183 pounds and based
on the new US flexpoints system, you will have a set point target of 24. In addition to this you are
allowed 35 flexpoints to be used throughout the week ... as well as any activity points you earn on
a particular day. When your weight drops to 175, your target drops to 22 points ... weight reaches
150, target once again drop to 20 points. 3 servings of dairy of recommended per day, 5 servings of
fruit and veggies, minimum of 6 glasses of water.

To calculate food and activity points, I love this computer desktop calculator ...
xmission.compoints.exeOpen ↗

WW suggests your ideal weight should be somewhere between 116 and 145 depending on your age.

The basic plan is easy. Eat at least your minimum daily number of points. Points do not carry over
from day to day. You are allotted 35 weekly flexpoints to be used at your discretion ... can divide
them up and use daily (would be an additional 5 points per day) or save them and use them for a
special occassion during the week. Activity points are earned based when exercising, but can ONLY be
used on the day they are earned.

If you can afford $15/month, the online ww program might be a great thing for you to look into.
There is lots of information available, as well as the food point database and journaling system.

Disclaimer: As an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, asdww is unusual in that most of the people who
participate are respectful, considerate folks who freely share their experience with and knowledge
of WW, weight loss, and maintenance. Yet occasionally, spammers, trolls, and flamers show up to post
advertising, false information, insults, and the like. Nearly all of the time, people like this are
just trying to yank someone's chain. Most of the regulars on this newsgroup offer their experience
as a suggestion to try if you're stuck, but are quick to advise that each person has to find what
works for him/herself. If someone posts something that doesn't sound right to you, ask the
newsgroup, ask your WW leader, or ask your health professional.

Much success on your weight loss journey! WW works!
