I do like how it helps you count activity points. I signed up for sparkpeople, and also found it a little 'too friendly.' You can get lost on the site.<BR/>I love WW and am really glad I went back to it. I'm following my own WW-esque plan and am doing great.Kim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396647068873438643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29126203.post-52987744024424702212007-04-06T21:00:00.000-04:002007-04-06T21:00:00.000-04:00I became a life time member with Weight Watchers f...I became a life time member with Weight Watchers five times! Yes, five times. Because I was so hard on myself, when I regained my weight I would rejoin at a new location rather than telling them I was a lifetime member. I truly believe of all the "diets" it truly is the best, since it is the closest to "real life." What I have come to learn about myself (after losing and gaining over 1000 pounds in my adult life) is that I don't want to be on a diet. I want to change my lifestyle and eat healthy and live my life.<BR/><BR/>Since 12.27 (105 days) I have lost 29.5 pounds by not dieting. It seems to have averaged one pound every three days and I am totally excited about it...sorry about my long comment - your great post got me thinking about how I am feeling doing what I am doing.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, JudiJudi Finneranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09267048424002472482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29126203.post-52785945981277098512007-04-06T17:14:00.000-04:002007-04-06T17:14:00.000-04:00i think thats a great idea, allow yourself to be i...i think thats a great idea, allow yourself to be imperfect. otherwise you will be so rigid when it comes to what you eat, how much you exercise, etc. that one day you will just snap. be flexible. you have to live your life and enjoy each day. that may not always involve a slice of pizza and a beer...but hey, sometimes it does! <BR/><BR/>you can do it, and your running in intervals sounds great! i did that the other day, its really invigorating to run FAST! :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409602430307800207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29126203.post-46123299052509262832007-04-06T15:55:00.000-04:002007-04-06T15:55:00.000-04:00Hey Jodi!I've tagged you!Hey Jodi!<BR/>I've tagged you!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818129339628645284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29126203.post-2603293072681032642007-04-06T10:37:00.000-04:002007-04-06T10:37:00.000-04:00that really is the crux isn't it? i struggle with ...that really is the crux isn't it? i struggle with that as well. this is a great post! thanks for sharing.Sizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182860438430294750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29126203.post-67301538807970343202007-04-05T22:44:00.000-04:002007-04-05T22:44:00.000-04:00Great post, Jodi!

And that means pizza or chocolate on occasion, and NO - it shouldn't make us any less of a person. I'm glad you're recommitting to something that makes you feel focussed.<BR/><BR/>Great work on C25K!

I like eTools because it's simple, but to be honest, I lost my original 75 lbs. using a pad and paper to journal. The techie geek in me thought it would be fun to try something new and so far so good...but the tracking does lean me towards obsessive behavior. This is my trial week, if I feel like I can't deal with it, I'm back to pen and paper and once a week scale WI's at home.<BR/><BR/>FooFoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760251696973129676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29126203.post-89550978374684485932007-04-05T18:15:00.000-04:002007-04-05T18:15:00.000-04:00Wow.

I read your post literally 10 minutes after writing a post on my blog about how I was letting weight loss affect my happiness about going on a trip. Thank you for writing this post, it's exactly what I needed. No more beating myself up.

But I think it's kind of motivating to mess around with it, looking at different articles and taking quizzes and stuff. <BR/><BR/>I personally haven't had the desire to do WW. I think it seems like a great program, and if followed correctly, it seems to work really well for people. I just like the thought of doing it my own way, and not having to pay for it.i i eeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965669520527591687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29126203.post-86518949508367339332007-04-05T13:18:00.000-04:002007-04-05T13:18:00.000-04:00Hey Jodi,I have been on and off weight watchers fo...Hey Jodi,<BR/>I have been on and off weight watchers for 4 years and I have recommited again, since February. I think things are going much better since I am following core. <BR/><BR/>I still beat myself up though because I am never happy no matter at what size I am, it is something I have to work on. I think that weight watchers is great but again as we all know to lose weight it is a simple science, although not simple to do. Burn more than you consume right, easier said than done. <BR/><BR/>I attend meetings and I am an online memeber, I need all the support I can get, I love etools just because I track everything I eat and can build my own recipes, try it out for a month and if you don't like it or need it, unsubscribe. Hope that helps babes hang in there :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29126203.post-2500998800531302342007-04-05T12:48:00.000-04:002007-04-05T12:48:00.000-04:00Great post.I most def used to beat myself up, thou...Great post.I most def used to beat myself up, though I would never say so on my blog. I'm past that now and can honestly say that I am happy where I am now, even though I want to continue losing, I can acutally live with myself right now, we are not all meant to be a siz 2. <BR/>I've been following WW again since Jan (seriously) and for the first time in a long time, I can say that I have been doing the best that I can and that's all I can do. I don't freak out if I had a bad day and don't stress over special occasions anymore. I am able to move on.<BR/><BR/>As for WW online vs. Sparkpeople..I signed up for sparkpeople once and it seemed like there was "too much" on the site and I found that annoying, the tons of emails I got from them didn't help either.<BR/><BR/>Suff on my mutt, love it.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818129339628645284noreply@blogger.com
