Four days in a row.
I weigh myself every morning except on weigh in day. WW tells you not to do this, by the way. They are afraid we will get too upset at the results and quit working the program. So I allow myself to weigh, but also promise myself not to take the results too seriously. Besides, when it shows a gain, it's not exactly hard to figure out why, most of the time.
But this week I have managed to weigh EXACTLY THE SAME for FOUR days in a row. I just don't know how to handle that; it's a new one for me. Up, down...but the same? For four days? Weird.
Other than that it's been a pretty good week. I've taken up a new exercise....ice skating. It's a lot of fun; I've gone twice so far with a friend of mine who is also in WW. I'm thinking about splurging on used skates now. Today, though, it's the gym for me. I have to do something to get a different number tomorrow. I just hope it isn't higher.
It's been so great to get back into core eating. I made a huge batch of pork chops and veggies in the slow cooker and have brought them for lunch most of the week. Last night's dinner: big salad and whole wheat macaroni. It was so easy to get my husband to eat core food. He has liked pretty much everything so far. Today for lunch I had morningstar farms tomato basil burgers...yum! Tonight of course we're going out and I'm planning on getting steak and a baked potato. mmm. Now I'm getting hungry.

Weighing oneself from time to time reminds me of my cousin Shawn who is not obese, but just overweight. He's obsessed with his progress. Even though he doesn't eat at daytime, he gorges on carbs at dinner. Not a good way to look at it from a nondieter's perspective. He's a candidate for diabetes too. The core foodlist from Weight Watchers may be a great idea, thanks to this blog.

hi -
i say good job! i love the chips with salsa, although i realize that it is the salsa that you are supposed to keep and ditch the chips. i can do without the cheese.
i admire everyone's determination to stay with it, because it is so hard!
