Okay, no messing around as I'm too depressed to fool around. Actually, I'm not depressed and my leader noted that my Lifetime book's 26 rows (weeks) were filled and that in the main, I've stayed pretty much constant over those 26 weeks and that's damn near half a year. It is HALF A YEAR. And it is really more than half a year since there were a number of missed weeks in there. And today I've also filled up my first Lifetime booklet.
So without much further ado (Lesanne is now gnawing the bones of that fried fish):
Gain: 1.2 Current: 158.8
Fred 219.2/158.8/164. (Lifetime July 2003) Started WW: Oct 29, 2002
Sorry for the gain but the important part is that you are still under your WW goal. That's what really counts here. I know "you know who" has beat you out this week but I think this little competition of yours is what is keeping going as well as below goal.

Good thing your leader was there ready with some perspective. You've been steadily maintaining that clothes cushion since meeting your personal goal. Have you even once gotten to 160?
Congrats Fred on filling your 1st of many lifetime books.

Maybe but maybe not. I don't think so but my numbers are somewhat warped by the shorts-Tshirt factor. I don't recall exactly when I changed wardrobe but think I can figure it out. I now subtract the clothing difference from my WI to get a shorts-Tshirt value (g)
Since the excel sheet is behind here lurking I will see if I've had two up weeks in a row..... actually, there have been a few 3 week in a row ups. So I guess I will not sweat this. But I do need to get control on the snacking. But I do need to get control on the snacking. But I do need to get control on the snacking......
And now that I made a doc's appt for next week, I will have to fast for 12 hours (checking total blood cholesterol levels) in the evening - that should help (G)
Thanks. Yes, I hope to keep the lifetime books coming and always under goal (fingers crossed)

Well, not all my snacking is junk food - I do a lot of dried fruit. In the old days it would have been cheese, cheese and chocolate and potato chips along with the fruit. so this is better but I need to still get control. I don't know how Skinny Cows rate for nutrition. (G)

Thanks. How's life on your side of the "hand grenade" line? Details: some wife of a Ft Lewis soldier drove to the wrong Vancouver (yours) and tried crossing the border with a grenade in the glove compartment!!!! Closed and backed up the border for a few hours the other day.
And for more clarification - while the locals are not often confused, years ago someone goofed when they named two cities within hours of each other Vancouver. The one everyone knows in Canada and the one down by the Oregon border near Portland in Washington state. But it has confused some.

For some reason I gravitate towards the salty stuff at night for snacks. Not a good thing. We had bought pretzals for my daughters birthday party and I had been eating them one handful at a time. I threw the bag away yesterday as it was the only way to stop me from finishing the bag.
Skinny cows are my dessert most nights. The snacking goes on around 8-9pm mostly because I have points left over. I've started to stop worrying about finishing up my points. I don't need any extra stress in my life right now.

That's interesting. As I think about it, I guess that I WAS a big salty snack person, including the chips and cheeses as well as a sweet snacker. But I am not really missing the salty ones now. There has been a bag of pretzels both downstairs and in a drawer at work and I have not had any for 2-3 weeks. Maybe I have licked that one. Now the sweets are driving me more and maybe that is carbo addiction??

just to interrupt here, and say well done. 1/2 a year is an awesome thing. Life would be wrong if there weren't ups and downs in there, but you're doing what we're supposed to do - to Maintain - and that's a pretty good example for us all 🙂
just don't go getting all complacent on us now...........*grin*
