Topic: RE: Goals for May and week of May 3rd
I totally agree Sherrie. I need a person to person weigh in. My weekend eating can blow my whole week. When I did WW I went on Mondays. It concerns me that the only TOPS meeting I found was on a Thursday. Times were too early for those who work. they have already told me I will need a replacement at some point. I am not old enough so they want to wait. One knee is gone already.

Molly....I think the important thing is to be accountable on the scale to someone face to face like you said. At least that's what works best for me. I can too easily let myself go astray if not for that fact. Have had a very emotional/stressful weekend and hate to think what food choices I might have made if I didn't know I had to get on that scale at WW tomorrow morning at 9AM.
Water aerobics is the only thing I can do exercise wise....need a total knee replacement.

Chellelynn,
That is a very impressive number of inches shed. WOW!
I chart all my stuff too...I'm kind of nut about that sort of stuff...I build charts and graphs...LOL!
Glad you'll be sticking around.....I'd miss you if you left.

yes Ruth I do take measurements I have not taken them for about a month now but last I checked I had lost 100.25" total off my entire body, that is from my neck down to my calves, I have a chart that tells where to measure, so yes I have lost more inches that pounds. Im ready to stop stressing! but I will still come around and post, I love you all too much to leave!

Thanks for the encouragement! I need all the positive thoughts and support I can round up.
The fear has kept me paralyzed and grounded for too many years....I need to face it, try to overcome it instead of just giving in to it without a fight. I accept that the final outcome may be that I decide not to fly but at least I'm trying to conquer it.
Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing Sherrie. I know it is hard to beat WW but I cant afford them right now and I have to do something face to face to get back in the groove of being a loser.
I noticed the interesting exchange and your comments regarding TOPS. I have heard good things and bad things about them. I will be trying it out for myself to see for myself and then I will let you know what my opinion is....:-) I will reserve my opinions until I have tried them out for at least 3 months.
We all have to find our way and do what works for us. what works for me may not work for others. since I know this I don't take opinions personally at all. All of us are entitled to our own opinions.
I love your goals and I am so envious of you being able to do water aerobics. I have to find me a Saturday evening class. I just have not given this enough due diligence and because of my bad knees, I really need to do this soon. Thanks again for sharing! and have a good month and week!!

Molly...please don't take my comments about TOPS (in another post) personally! I believe every WOE works if you work it!! Just my personal experience with some people I knew that triggered that remark. Your goals sound great....keep up the good work.
I have also set a goal for May of an 8 pound weight loss....273.5 on 5/1 on my scale at home. I know the WW scale will differ as I weigh first thing in the morning naked and last time I joined WW, they discouraged that!
So my goal for May is to weigh 265 (guess that's 8.5lb) by June 1st. Haven't seen the 260's in a couple of years and looking forward to it.
I'm also going to try to get in my water aerobics 3x/week.

Topic: Goals for May and week of May 3rd
My goal this week is eat more veggies and less carbs and continue with protein 1st. I also want to continue with my exercising 5 or more days per week. Absolutely no fast foods this week
My May goal is to lose 8 pounds. To make this happen I have to be more mindful of my food choices, meaning make healthier food choices most days and keep exercise steady. I will be visiting my very 1st TOPS meeting this week also.
In the month of April I exercised 5 days for 2 weeks and 6 days the other 2 weeks and did not lose a pound for the month. I did maintain so I am happy no overall gain and I am still down 8 pounds since vowing to get back on track in March.
I am also very proud that I made it back to the health club in April finally after not going there in over a year.
1st day back was April 22nd. I was glad to see old faces and they welcomed me back without too many questions and once I went back that 1st day it was like I had never stopped. Of course my body said otherwise! lol! 
It is a good pain though. The 1st day broke the ice for me and I was back on gear. The machines work better than anything I can do at home, especially when it comes to strenght training. 
Goal regarding gym is to get there at least 3 days a week.
Enough about me, does anyone want to share their goals for the week and/or month? It helps putting it in writing. What about your successes for the month of April? Sharing helps us who need some inspiration.
Have a good week!!

Sherrie,
So sorry to hear about your mom and brother. I hope both will be home and doing well very soon!
CONGRATS on having the inner strength and determination to stay focused and stick with your healthy choices!!!! It is hard on any day but 100x more when faced with such stresses.
Please let me know how you do at your WW WI tomorrow. I go to meetings on Friday morning but might be switching to Tuesday mornings...not sure yet. Anyhow, I'm lifetime but plan on going every week....at least until I go on vacation.
Keep us posted on your mom and brother and also on how you are doing.
Be well
Best wishes to you all.
Ruth
