Weight Watchers is changing the way I approach my fitness

[Pat AKA mustski]

So lesson learned... when in Italy ... I told my waiter that the bread and wine here is soooo good, I could live on bread and wine alone. He brought me better bread and better wine! You guys, I am in so much trouble!

When you make a conscious choice to indulge, savor it. Savor each bite. Savor the experience.

I hope the bread and wine made you close your eyes, put your head back, and revel in the moment.

Sounds like a good foot massage.
Seriously, Pat, enjoy every morsel of your trip.

I haven't been tracking for the past couple of days and I have felt awful about it. This morning I was afraid to step on to the scale because I had no idea what it would be. 186? 184? I really couldn't tell from my body what it would be. Since we got back I haven't been walking or been on the bike so I really didn't know.

This doesn't excuse me from not getting back on track but actually gives me the encouragement to do so.

Nah. When I'm in Yurp I drop like 3kg/week - and I consume far more of both bread and wine than you do.

@mustski I encountered a working scale halfway through the trip and I was terrified. But knowing that I had gained 2 lb. told me what I had to do for the rest of the trip.

You have a little more leeway, methinks, so I wouldn't agonize over it. Enjoy.

Does anyone have a link to the most current weight and/or BMI standards?

Thanks.

I started googling that and came across a margarita recipe. It was like a shortcut to happiness with my current weight and BMI.

This was "reviewed" in May 2019 .

This is the chart that came with my WW Scale I got for my birthday

The WW plan is making a change in November and you'd think the WW members are being drawn and quartered.

My thought is, WW is not going to do something that will blow up on them, or set their members up for failure.
I look forward to seeing what's new on this plan. And, from what I gather, the current Freestyle plan will still be an option.

That chart reminds me of "I'm not Overweight ... I'm Undertall", except it's

My BMI is not too high ... my age is too low

@Pat AKA mustski how's it going?

I've been seeing a lot of posts on FB WW Freestyle talking about the start of holiday tracking, beginning with halloween candy.
This may be a time to amp up the tips and tricks for surviving holiday habits.

I think I'm going to have Cuties oranges as halloween treats this year. Maybe we'll break down and get some candy.

Candy... whazzat???

Keep in mind that many parents will just toss fresh fruit if they don't know who gave it.

Last year I decided to buy something I wouldn't eat myself and ended up with Pixie Stix. Loved them as a kid though. My neighbor was so appalled by the fact that I was basically handing out pure sugar, that I think I have to do it again. There's what, a tsp of sugar full of artificial flavors and colors in each little tube? Compared to the calorie count of your average full size treat, it seems pretty harmless. But I did also pick up a bag of mini Playdoh containers at Costco already.

Someone else mentioned that so I picked up a giant container of Utz pretzel in mini packages.

I eat pretzels but they don't tempt me a lot.

We just got off the cruise ship today and are headed to Rome- the land of great bread, great pasta, and wine. I haven’t been able to weigh in yet so YIKES- no idea. My clothes still fit but definitely feel a tad snugger! I predict a few zero point weeks upon my return!

 

[Pat AKA mustski]

I can still move as I did manage to climb to the top of the Acropolis in Athens. According to Serie, it was 4 miles and 14 flights of stairs!

 

[Philpug]

I have been hovering around that 183 range, just below and just above but I feel pretty good. If I drop a few pounds, great but I don't want to go above 185.

Just got my blood work back from my doctors so aside from my vitamin B12 and D3 levels being low my bad cholesterol is slightly elevated so I need to work on that. Going to start with cutting back on red meat and going from there. I still haven't been able to embrace one "diet" choice or the other so I'm doing what I consider hybrid behaviors from the keto and vegetarian lifestyles.
