542.0. "I try to loose weigth next year" by VNABRW::KAMIR () Fri Dec 29 1989 08:37

    hello!
    
    I tried to loose weigth a lot of times, somtimes with more somtimes
    with less success. Now I want to start the new year with
    weigth-watchers. I am 183cm tall and 214 pounds. Is there anyone
    (I want to loose 50 pounds of weigth) who will keep contact with
    me to strengthen my mind during the next few month?
    
    I wish all of you a happy successfull new year

    I've lost 110+lbs in the last 8 months (thats 50 kg) and am by no means
    the biggest loser here.
    
    Have fun,
    
    Andy

542.3We're all in this togetherCOOKIE::WILCOXDatabase Systems/WestFri Dec 29 1989 13:0214
Karl, you can probably count on most of us to help you out!  Sometimes
all it takes is a freindly pat on the back when you need it.  We're all
in this together.

I think you'll enjoy the WW program, I really do.  Even when I don't follow
it to the letter I notice that I have made great changes in my overall
eating patterns.  I dont' eat as much as often as I used to.

We're here for you!

Happy new year and happy new you!

542.5..I feel good..VNABRW::KAMIRWed Jan 17 1990 11:0412
    Hello again!
    
    Now I am the 10th day on the WW Program and have lost 5 lbs. Now
    I am adding once a week a "ONE HOUR SQASH PARTY" with friends.
    Last week (the first three days of it) were very hard for me, but
    now I feel great. I think I will reach my goal......

	The cravings for fatty foods will probably disappear sometime
    before your 3rd week on the diet, if you are abe to not cheat until
    then.

542.10is that normal?VNABRW::KAMIRTue Feb 13 1990 09:3010
    .....up to now 12 lbs minus, but it seems to me that it is slowing
    down....
    
    is that normal? I have not changed the diet nor my habit to sqash
    once a week.

542.11Patience is a virtue...ULTRA::DWINELLSMon Feb 19 1990 14:0913
    On most diets, you tend to loose fast at first, but then things slow
    down to a more normal pace. I laugh at any diet program that advertises
    a "quick lose plan". 
    
    I suggest that you stick to your regiment and you will soon see the
    pounds melt away. Dieting re-enforces the cliche "Good things come to
    those who wait".
    
    Keep in mind... You didn't gain the weight overnight, so don't expect
    to loose if that fast either.
    
    Good luck!!
