I also lost my weight on W.W. and then it quit working for me. Since I quit I gained a little, worked out with a personal trainer for a year and learned to eat really really healthy delicious 'clean' foods. Lost a little, gained it back. Right now I am trying to maintain at a higher weight than is recommended on the charts, but it just might be right for me. I'm glad you're eating a little more, and it sounds like a little better food.debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-90427855823628221652010-10-22T10:39:43.630-04:002010-10-22T10:39:43.630-04:00Congratulations on doing what YOU feel is right. ...Congratulations on doing what YOU feel is right. <br /><br />Here's the deal: tracking, counting (point, calories, fat grams, whatever) can be good short term, but doesn't work in the long run.<br /><br />As you've found this week, by tuning in more to you and what your body wants -- you've lost weight.<br /><br />I think it's time for you to get to the core of WHY you gained weight in the first place. And don't tell me it's because of the food -- it's never ONLY about that.<br /><br />Once you get there, feel better in your skin (yes, it IS possible), you can forget all the 'tracking' and going to meetings feel like a failure. (that's why I'm not 'big' on those programs).<br /><br />Seriously, everything you said in your post is what I hear all the time from my clients. And there IS another way of doing it -- and it's not another diet or tracking system.<br /><br />It's about finding what works for YOU. I help my clients get to that place. Because it's so difficult to see it yourself. And as you said -- you KNOW all the 'diet' and healthy stuff...what to eat, what not to eat.<br /><br />That's not the issue - it's something more.<br /><br />And I'm proud you walked away from what wasn't working for you!Dinneen @EatWithoutGuilthttp://www.EatWithoutGuilt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-63951462807634835882010-10-08T13:56:05.996-04:002010-10-08T13:56:05.996-04:00you've definitely got to do what works for you...you've definitely got to do what works for you! kudos on the loss! that said, ww does seem to work for me, when I track what I eat (I keep a journal of what food I eat and what emotions I'm feeling, because I'm a former binge eater). one thing I *definitely* noticed on ww, though, is that "mixing it up" generally works for me-- that is, some times I follow the plan very closely, and other times I'm more relaxed about it (still journal, though). inevitably, after a period of eating *more* calories, I experience a big-ish loss. I guess that's what flex points are for, but the ww program I follow was pre-flex points. <br /><br />anyway: do whatever works for you, and don't forget to pat yourself on the back for maintaining the bulk of your weight loss!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-55292392497321784452010-10-05T15:20:29.516-04:002010-10-05T15:20:29.516-04:00I think it's great that you have re-evaluated ...I think it's great that you have re-evaluated what you need to do to maintain!

I am not even counting points now and I have lost 19 pounds since August 27th.<br /><br />I bet you feel better too. I know I do. WW got me started, but I didn't need it for life. I've got this now.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301763232264453237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-36706258428588280342010-10-03T13:40:32.253-04:002010-10-03T13:40:32.253-04:00Good for you for eating more.

You can add the 35 weekly points and your earned APs and be doing the same thing as adding more calories. <br /><br />Anyhow, sounds like a change up is what you need right now, so good luck.wahoostampingirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399270304341123753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380136761770650017.post-1802291384644184722010-10-03T13:09:46.707-04:002010-10-03T13:09:46.707-04:00Good for you!
