weigh****cher is helping me get back on track

Hi Everyone, I havent written in a while. I have really been struggling with emotional eating and grazing . So consequently I put on 15lbs over the winter. Yikes!!! It was really scary. I was afraid that I couldnt stop. I was gonna try the time out thing but I couldnt do the only protein shake thing. I am too chicken. So I decieded to try weigh****chers. I really like it. I am doing the core plan, which is really close to south beach but the nice thing is you get 35 points a week to do whatever you want with. I like that it gives me the opportunity to have chocolate or whatever I want and not be blowing it. I started on Monday and I have lost 7lbs already. I am not sure why I have lost so much. I think it is a fluke. But I am grateful. I feel in control again for the first time in months. Yea!!!! It wasnt so much the weight gain that scared me it was the lack of control that I felt. But this seems to be working. I think that I need the accountablity that the meetings give me. Anyway I thought I would share what is working for me. Hope everyone is doing well. Lynn

Hi Lynn~ Good to see ya again!! I know how you're feeling about the weight gain~ I'm struggling with 10 lbs. too. I did WW before the surgery, but I personally didn't like the program for myself. I'm glad it's working for you. 7 lbs. in 1 week is fabulous!! Keep up the great work! Hugs, Kerri

Thanks Kerri, I hope all is well with you. Are you still exercising regularly? I have been doing better now that I am out of school and the wedding is over. Life is a little calmer and I feel like I am getting more in control. Hope its going well with you Lynn

Glad to hear that weigh****chers is working for you. I'm thinking about trying it myself. I go up and down within a 10 pound range (148-158). I hope it continues to work for you. Dawn

Hey you~ How are you feeling???? Are you recovering okay? How's the pain? Email me when you have a chance... Hugs, Kerri

Thanks, Dawn It sounds like you are in a great weight range. I am really enjoying it. I haven't lost anything else since Friday but 7lbs in 5 days was a lot so I am not surprised, plus it is time for TOM for me. I like the core plan, kinda like south beach but with 35 flex points a week to eat what you want. I have a godiva chocolate once a day 2.5 points. I love it and it keeps me from binging on other stuff. Have a great day. Lynn

Hi Lynn I know I haven't been around in forever!! I see I'm not the only one to gain. However, I put on a whopping 18 lbs. I have already lost 3 of it, but that 18 is a REALLY SCARRY number. So I'm slowly getting back to basics, one thing at a time - so I don;t feel overwhelmed. Good Luck!! Sharyn

Good for you Lynn, glad to hear you found something that works for you. Miss you all, life is so busy lately! Wendy

Good luck! Wow everyone looks great!
