Today, I weighed in at WW and lost 3.75 pounds! I've been following the WW points system with Maximized Living recipes/food choices. It hasn't even been hard! I have a new love of guacamole and celery. Almond butter and celery rocks, too! I made meatloaf last night and saved me some for tonight's dinner. I need to do the dishes, I'm not used to cooking this much!
My leader started discussing my goal weight. I told her that I wanted to be around 130 pounds, which is well within the BMI range of 120-150 pounds (as per WW) for my height of 5'5". She told me that I need a doctor's note if I want to go below 138. The reason I am confused is because I joined WW 2 years ago at 146 and got to 138. I never reached my 10% goal and they never made me stop at this weight. I ended up quitting right around then, but still..why do I have to stop at this weight now? Because I started at a higher weight than before? Oh, well. I guess I will have to waste a $20 copay on an visit to the doctor to ask for a note. I don't even remember the last time I was at the doctor's...I just don't want to give in and say yeah, okay 138 is my goal. I will be happy there, but it's not the number I want to be at.
I shouldn't focus on the numbers so much, but I was at 132 at one point and I want to be there again. I have 8.5 pounds before I reach 138, so once I get there, I will just keep going. I have a feeling that my body will let me know what weight it's comfortable at. If I'm eating the same amount of points and I'm still losing big numbers each week, I have a feeling that I'm able to keep going. I feel that my body will hit a plateau once it's where it wants to be.
After all, eating the same amount of points and giving my body as much food as it needs will keep me within the healthy weight range, it's just up to my body to figure out where it wants to me be at (within reason, of course).
