RAFL wk 5/ THTP wk 9 - Laura (LJ)

Congrats on your loss, Laura! And keep doing what you 're doing, because those smaller losses really
add up in the end. Your leader might be right about the fat. I know I lose better when I eat a
little fat, although I sometimes find it hard to "waste" points on such small amounts of fat. I wish
you all the best in making the right choices at your daughter's party!

I'm very disappointed that my loss this week was so small. I was extremely careful about what I
ate this week. Only used a handful of flexpoints and did not eat any of my AP.

I showed this weeks journal to my leader this morning. She said they were perfect but to vary my
breakfasts, add some protein to them and to include

I never thought about it before Laura, but your ww leader might have a very good point. Fat is
another one of those contradictory thinking type of things ... we don't like to use it because it is
higher in points, but the body also has to have it and it does seem to aid a bit in weightloss. I do
also remember going through the same thing when I was actively trying to lose ... added something as
simple as olive oil into my cooking and the weight started declining again too. What was interesting
(for me anyway) was that I didn't count that additional point or two - played it by ear to see what
would happen. And not counting them didn't seem to slow anything down.

I do wonder though, if maybe you aren't eating enough ... and that could slow your weightloss down.
Not eating your flexpoints OR activity points might be cutting back too much. Maybe try not using
the flex, but at least eating your activity points?

But even a bit more than half a pound is a great loss, so keep hanging in there!

I'm going to add Peanut butter back into the mix to give me some variety for breakfast. I always
forget that 1TBS is only 2 points. The normal serving size is 2TBS for 5 points. I put 1TBS on my
english muffin this morning and it was just the right amount. 2 TBS would have been too much peanut
butter and way too many points for the meal.

I found some olive oil in the cabinet and will ask DH to start using it every once in a while. Maybe
I'll get some full fat dressing for dipping my veggies at lunch. That ought to help too. I guess I
could also use real margarine (I can't believe it's not butter) on my veggies. I have avoided all
fat products and maybe that's what causing the problem.

As for the number of points, that's one that I have never quite figured out. I'm inclined to just
use the flex points when we eat out if need be. That way I don't have to be overly concerned if I
under estimate the points for that meal. Trying to figure out the points when I go to the Chinese
buffet each tuesday night has been difficult. I am being more careful about what I pick and limiting
the amount of food I consume but I know that I go over in points those nights. I've also tried other
combinations-no AP-most flexpoints, no AP-some flexpoints ,AP-some flexpoints, and AP- most
flexpoints without much difference in the results. I have never figured out what the right
combination is for my body which is why I have been very frustrated lately.

It can be disheartening when the scale seems indifferent to our hard efforts. On the other hand,
down is DOWN!! So despite your disappointment, I'll offer my congratulations. Your dedication to

Happy birthday to your daughter. Enjoy your celebrating.

Thanks Lesanne. I did survive the birthday party. Ate close to 23 points yesterday afternoon/night.
I ended up going door to door in the cold handing out flyers for a meeting coming up. Came home at
10pm and had another slice of pizza. arrgghh. Only used 5 flexpoint though so it wasn't a total
disaster. My living room is however as thats where the girls spent the night.

For some reason lately I have kept the amount of fat at a bare minimum. 1% milk, no marg on my

Thanks Fred. I will add some fat into my meals. Yesterday it was peanut butter on an english muffin
for breakfast plus a small amount on my popcorn at the movies. I think the lack of fat started big
time when I came back from my mothers. While I was at her place we had twice weekly cookout/cocktail
parties where dip and chips and other higher/normal fat content foods were present. Here at home
everything is LF or FF. I'll start by using margarine on my steamed veggies at night plus some
peanut butter as a snack at night. Peanut butter and celery comes to might as a nice evening snack.

Yup, can't cut out all fat. I usually saute in about 1t to 1T of olive oil. But wind up with
peanut butter thinly spread as the ski lunch.

September.
