As of today, that's how long I've maintained at my Weight Watchers goal weight. For the past couple of months or so, I've actually been 3-6 pounds lower

YAY! Big congrats!just_jeffJuly 25 2004, 11:53:47 UTC
Very cool that you're there and maintaining.
Ten or so to go for me. I'm about ten pounds down, but have been stuck there for a few weeks after a nice, sane, happy, pound a week drop for a while. For me, just tracking what I eat, what I weigh, and how many evil carby-goodness beers I consume, makes a big difference--choosing ignorance turned out not to be the best course of action, go figure...
31 pounds to get to goal weight. i think i started about oct. 12 last fall and finished on jan. 24. held steady for a few months and then dropped a couple more
Congratulations! Maintenance is even more of an accomplishment than the original loss, I think. I'm thinking of starting WW myself--I lost a bunch of weight already with Sugarbusters, but have some more to go and need some new inspiration. Did you do it online or go to meetings? Were they totally cheesy or actually helpful?
Also (and yes, I am throwing all my questions into one steaming comment jambalaya), if a girl were to purchase her first Old 97s CD, which one should she get?
what has been your experience with sugarbusters? i am not rigorous about my carbs, but i have cut way back on the bad kind. and i know that some things will really set me off into bad eating and craziness.
i did online only. i knew that realistically i wasn't going to get to any of the meetings around here because of where and when they were. the lj community ww _users is pretty helpful.
since you already like alt-country, i would say get either "drag it up," which comes out tuesday, or "too far to care." "drag it up" is uniformly good. i think it has some of their best songwriting, and i love the raw, unvarnished production. "too far to care" has a couple of clunkers, but overall it's a great album. it has most of their great, barn-burning twangy-punk songs.
Thanks for the tips. I will go check out ww_users. Sugarbusters was a godsend for me; I started doing it when my doctor told me that the only way she'd seen people lose weight and keep it off was with either Sugarbusters or Weight Watchers. In two years I've lost 38 pounds (and I'm not even that strict about it), but I haven't lost any for the last several months and I have about 25 more to go before I'm in the normal BMI range for my height . . . so I'm thinking it's time to switch tactics.

I think feeling better about who you are is a huge step, regardless of what it took to get you there.

are you still counting points?
I'm having a hard time with maintenance. Last weigh in I was 1 lb over my goal at 129 lbs.

quitting smoking really messed up my metabolism.
