It takes such effort to lose a pound or two which can return for no apparent reason. Leslie I know you are looking for support and inspiration - I'm looking to you to get me started. Was it the WW diet or the meeting support that helped you most?

I also love yoga, but I've never tried weight watchers. It must be nice to share on a weekly basis and have a set value for food. I usually just mentally add up the calories. It's a good thing that we live in such beautiful, walkable places. Van Isle is amazing, so is my North Van. Tomorrow I'm off to England and get to walk beside the Thames every day, all summer. :DVeronica Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288280932510764014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-80212821097325979862015-06-26T20:18:31.673-07:002015-06-26T20:18:31.673-07:00I'm just working my weight back to where I lik...I'm just working my weight back to where I like it best as well. It's too easy to fool myself on holiday and away from the regular schedule. I've also found WW a good way to get some healthy habits in place, and although I've maintained for the last year and a half without the meetings, the scales last month showed me that I need some reinforcements. . . your summary here is helpful, thanks! (I still think you'd make a really good WW leader yourself)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-72906342047934191172015-06-26T18:25:32.764-07:002015-06-26T18:25:32.764-07:00Yes Hostess, get back to those meetings. When I lo...Yes Hostess, get back to those meetings. When I lost about the same as you or a little more, I promised myself that I would stay for the meeting and that I owed it to myself. It’s so easy to lose focus and get back into old habits and meetings are a way of reminding ourselves. Also, I always felt that I could help others to believe that could do it, sort of like we were a big team. I also ‘shopped’ around to find a meeting and leader that I was happy with. I found photos of my not so slim self helped to motivate me not to go backwards! The rewards are definitely worth it. I have hardly any hip pain now and feel/look so much fitter. Go girl!

I had a salmon salad and white wine but no Ponderosa cake at the break. Measuring the food and eating mostly vegetables and fish is not that difficult. Sheila is right about going to meetings. My walking and drinking less wine during my Oaxaca stay brought my BP right down.We will be healthier if we can keep the numbers down.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-19866867704143908942015-06-26T14:10:34.734-07:002015-06-26T14:10:34.734-07:00I would only weight yourself at the same time of d...I would only weight yourself at the same time of day ...early morning is best.
