Wonderings .....
I really can't think of a title today. I am tired but wanting to wait up for BF. He is out of town for work this evening so not sure when he is getting home. I feel lost without him this evening (pathetic eh!)
Results for today:
1) track food DONE
2) under 20 pts DONE 19 1/2 used
3) weights NOT DONE
4) 1/2 hr walk DONE 1 hour and 5 mins walked today
5) water DONE I am still drinking water - ever since I gave up coke I am so damn thirsty!
6) 3 servings DONE (just)
7) healthy snacks DONE
8) plan daily food DONE
9) no diet coke DONE 4 weeks tomorrow
10) update journal DONE
It must be my week to receive compliments about my weight loss ... got a few more today. I am learning to accept them a bit more and am starting to think I actually deserve them! I am not vain but I am starting to like the way I look .. ok I have still got a long way to go and a lot of bits to improve on but I am getting there. I had a shower tonight and looked at my hips (sorry too much info eh) and actually thought 'shit where have I gone' .. I didn't look thin but I am so much smaller than I used to be. Sometimes I don't see how much I have lost and other times it hits me. Don't you think it would be really interesting, for just one day, to go back to the weight we started at! Now then we would always notice the difference!
I got asked again about my goal weight and how much more I am going to lose. I had originally set it for 75 .. then 69 but I think I want to go lower than that. I can't imagine my body being the way I want it after I have lost another 5 kgs (I weighed in at 74 this morning). And to be honest at the moment I am finding the whole points/exercise thing brilliant. I am actually really loving it and it is really working for me... so a big part of me is scared that when I hit my goal weight I won't know what to do anymore. So (my stupid part of my brain) is telling me that I should just keep on losing! I told someone today I was going to lose weight until I disappear! I know I am going to have to figure out the whole maintaining weight thing soon but at the moment I am just happy to keep on losing.
It is even weird that I am starting to think about how I am going to maintain my goal weight. I started this year thinking I was going to be fat forever and weighing over 20kgs more than I do now and now I am wondering how light I am going to go!
How did everyone else chose a goal weight? How do you know how thin you want to be? ....
I am off to bed ... will warm the bed up for BF

I completely understand how you feel with BF away - I feel like that when Al is away.
I think that you should have a look at yourself and set your goal as you are happy with how you look. My goal was originally 66 but I couldn't get past 67 and I was happy with how I looked so I changed my GW to 67 - then went up to 86 and am now back down to 66-67 and trying to maintain. This is the part that I always battle with - I find maintaining harder than losing. I am supposed to be eating 26 points per day on WW but most days I only eat about 18-20 because that is all I need to not feel hungry - have to try to work my way around that. Sometimes if you eat more and exercise more you are okay - I'm not too much help with this because I am still battling along myself.
On the compliments front I have had quite a few lately and I also find it quite difficult to accept them but I am starting to like how I look and be happy with who I am and the self confidence that I now have is just amazing.
Well better end this book before there is no space left for anyone else - you are doing an amzing job - keep it up and before you know it those last pesky 5kg will be gone - you will be amazed at the difference that 5kgs can make - I was !
Take care and have a great week !

Great going on your checklist Nancy. I can't believe it has been 4 weeks with a d.coke! WOW.
I chose my weight as being in the middle of the range for my height. It is also the weight ww put on me back in 1995. I am very open, however, to listening to my body and adjusting the weight (up or down) as I get closer to it. I think up is the more realistic of the two.
Have fun looking at yourself. Join the mirror whore group. I am one. And so is Paulene. We all should be :) Have a great weekend
I am actually no where near any goal weight at the moment although I have mini goals along the way to get me there. I suppose it all comes down to being comfortable at a weight you think you can maintain. Weighing in at a monsterous 133kg's to begin with I have a mini goal to get to double digits and then to get to 80kg's. I suppose when I get there I will re-evaluate the situation to see where I will go from there but at the moment it is hard for me to imagine being that thin!!! Hope this has made some sense. XX
I am also going to revaluate when I get lower and see how I feel!
Congrats for staying off the diet coke:)
You are doing so well! Great to get compliments too. Good luck with deciding on your goal weight. You will know once you get close to it.
Hi Nancy! I found your site through Mary's blog. :) I am still so far from goal that I can't have any idea about what weight will suit me, but it seems a lot of people have similar struggles with trying to figure out what they should make their goal for maintenance as you are. I'm definitely interested to know what you end up deciding, so I'll be following along with you. :)
Good question! I am going through these thoughts now too. I think I've decided that 70kg is my absolute minimum and my new focus is learning how to cook more and tone my body. I've realised that I can keep losing but my body isn't going to look any better no matter how much I lose unless I start toning/weight training. I don't want my bones to stick out either.
