This is what sort of Human I am:)

Candy StriperYou scored 76% Do Gooder, 72% Drive, and 64% Intellect! (That's STRIPER, not Stripper) You are a very helpful person indeed, always ready to lend a hand, ear, shoulder, or any other body part that may be required. You are warm and caring, as well as resourceful and effective. You are actually one of the best categories of human beings on this test. You're smart, but not too smart for your own good. I think you could benefit from some self-preservation because you are such an unselfish giver who is willing to help at a moment's notice. Not that that's a bad thing, just make some time for yourself now and then. The world would benefit from more people like you. All human being categories are: Lazy SOB, Rebel w/out a Cause, Evil Mastermind, Henchman, Criminal, Dictator, Frat Boy, Socialite, Philosopher, Stunt Double, Upstanding Citizen, Teacher, Cheerleader, Sister Mary DoGood, Benefactor, Loyal Sidekick, Candy Striper, Goody Two-Shoes. My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 55% on Do Gooder You scored higher than 70% on Drive You scored higher than 37% on Intellect

Well its that dreaded day before weigh in...I often wonder if other people feel the same before weighing in..........As I really want to lose the 1.3kg so I can get my new charm, It is weighing heavily on my mind...but I am feeling really blah...real bloated etc., after effects of TTOM....I have been really good as usual with my tracking, but the weather hasn't been kind for walking etc.,

I only lost 200gms last week and was sooooooo disappointed and concerned as I did everything right...I feel very anxious as I have been walking every day again and watching every little thing I put into my mouth....Maybe I am getting compulsive?
Who knows...anyways got a family party tonight:(

I did 21,208 steps yesterday, but my program only allows 3 points for just over 8,000 steps...odd I thought...Did an amazing walk in the rain and gale force winds yesterday, was a real challenge for me as I haven't been able to do that for years:)
Have a great weekend

Have to keep plodding along...I really don't understand why I didn't lose more...anyone got any ideas??
Cheers Lynne....

One more day before weigh in...I hate having to wait...impatient bugga I am....Had a lovely coffee with Tina and my daughter Kristy-Lynne yesterday morning...its always nice to compare notes and get some more information on WW....I found my recipe book from 2002 WW and planned 5 great meals for this week, the first one I made last night for dinner was Chicken Korma...I thoroughly enjoyed it as did my hubby and daughter, but son hated all the red and green capsicum in it.....lol....not going to have it with rice again and its such a piddly amount for the 63gms of small serve recommended...next time shall have jacket potatoes with it....ever weighed 63g of rice to see how much you get for 2.5 points??
Just had to add a postscript onto this blog.....I found this ladies cool website and got a very interesting idea off it....Hubby bought me this gorgeous bracelet today to add charms to whenever I lose 5kgs....so what do u reckon guys out there?.... You going to do it for your special person too.....
Have a great day
Lynne...

Finally back on again

I had trouble logging onto my blog for some reason, so yeah I am back again.....lol
Thanks to suzie for all her great comments on my site, it helps to hear feedback from people, I am having coffee with Tina this morning at my house. Tina is a awe inspiring lady from our WW meeting here in Mandurah, she has lost 40plus kilos.
Update ya all later
Love Lynne

Happy father's day Guys!!
Went out to visit hubby's parents for fathers day.....everyone sat around having yummy boiled fruit cake...but I was strong and didn't have any...I am so glad i resisted cos 50g is 2.5 points...not worth the points I figured....I did have to take sugar as there was no artifical sweetner...I must remember next time to take my own with me as 1 tsp sugar is .5 point....

Just had to write this in folks....
I have stopped my diabetes medication as my sugar levels are fantastic, all thanks to my new lifestyle and also have halved my anti depressants, which I am so rapt about and had to also buy new clothes...what a chore...not!!
Was a great feeling not to have to go to the big plus sizes.....makes one feel great about the journey to a new me...so watch out world here I come!!

Pedometer

Finally worked out how to calibrate my pedometer, its amazing the difference it makes when you have your correct step measured and put your updated weight into it...so yeah I am rather pleased...bought one also for my youngest daughter so she doesn't feel left out of it when she walks with us....
Does anyone know of a teenager website or forums for kids doing weight watchers?
It would be such a help if I could find one as Brianna needs to chat to others of similiar age for support also....
Cheers Lynne

Updated Pic

Well here goes...an updated pic of me 4 weeks into weight watchers...can you notice the difference?...not sure I can...but I can in my clothes....Have a great weekend everyone...
Love Lynne...
