First time I've been in range since June 2, which was right before the 10 week trip to England. DW's 5 day diet the week before dropped 3lb so it is very nice to see another pound come off this week. |

The new plan doesn't count points for any fresh fruit or most vegetables. The formula assigns lower point values for protein, too. It looks like it is about 1100 to 1300 calories a day plus the fruit/vegetable calories. Activity is separate.
Interestingly points for swimming went down while points for high intensity went up, compared to the old plan. I found a gym that I really like a couple of weeks ago and have been going there pretty consistently so far.
If we can all hang on through the end of the year we'll be a step ahead come January.

Congratulations you two, nice work!!!

I will just have to cut back on the chocolate and pizza, AND get back on the bike. I get plenty of exercise outside in the summertime, but winter is pretty much the ultimate "indoor sport" opportunity. 
On a more serious note, my weight has fluctuated all my life. I still keep my eye on the 177.5 lb data point in late 2008 when I first started posting here.
A 6 lb net gain over 2 years is still OK in my book. I ain't 20 anymore.

Haven't weighed in since I bottomed out at 180 in the summer.
I've ballooned to 201.6. I usually lose/gain 20 pounds every year so I'm not concerned, but I'm restarting my spring training (and weekly weigh-ins) now.
12/15/2010 201.6

Managed to hang onto the weight loss for 2 weeks now. However, we were out shopping yesterday and picked up a load of edible goodies for the 2 weeks we'll be spending with the kids in Austin over Christmas and New Year so I'm not going to get used used to being in range

Apparently, had a little too much sushi, mexican, and beer this past weekend. 
Congrats Moemg and Alan on your continued weight loss! This thread really is great motivation to lose or maintain (whichever your goal).

Holy cr*p! Good work, especially at this time of year with all the temptations around. Enjoy the heck out of your holiday!
Holy cr*p for you, too! Great work to you as well for losing at this time of year.
