i think you are doing great on WW. i love there program, at my heaviest i weight 270 now am still a chunky girl at 208, but look and feel lots better. i know i have a long way to go, but WW can work for people they just have to give it a couple weeks to feel like you are not starving to death.

Roni, that post just made me cry. I’m always failing weight watchers because I’ll gain or feel bloated and think I failed and then crash on some horrible junk food and then say to myself “this has to be normal” I’m just so glad that I can see that the scale may hold a number, but you’re right if your clothes fit and you feel healthier … THAT is what counts. You are an inspiration.

I said this in a post but I need to say it again....

"I have to thank you ALL for you wonderful comments the other day. Every one I got put an enormous smile on my face and it makes this all worth it. It really does. The site has become so much more then just my accountability and it truly is amazing."

I really don't know what to say. I am speechless for this kind of support. SPEECHLESS!

I have been meaning to post on this but things have been so crazy lately. Let me start by being honest and saying what I mean: "Screw them!";

Some people are just never happy with themselves and they need to take it out on someone else. Anyone who reads your blog (and who has successfully done any sort of weight loss themselves) realizes that there is fluctuation in weight. Those comments about your TT are just garbage, and I hope you realize it. (I know you do!)

You look great, you are a true inspiration, and I love your sites, you have helped me learn to cook so much healthier. You go girl! ;)

Roni - I'm trying not to sit here and fume about the bonehead comments, but if you can let it go, so can I! ;)

Everyone with half a brain knows that no one maintains at the exact same weight all the time... even "skinny" folks that didn't lose a ton of weight and become a inspiration to an entire Internet full of people!

Keep up the good work and thank you for continuing to share yuor journey with us.

I am also on WW and I thought it was strange people getting so upset about not calling it a diet. That is the ENTIRE idea of WW really – learning to eat and exercise in a way to optimize and maintain your health. My experience on the WW boards has been that they lose their minds when people call it a diet, since it is about changing your life.

Congratulations on your continued success! I hope to be maintaining one day in the not too distant future, too. Also, is this an okay time for me to say I made delicata squash fries tonight and they ROCKED!!!! Man, they were good!

Roni,
Thanks for mentioning Flore, it really makes sense, and I am going to try that. The idiotic remarks from those pertaining to your TT are out of pure JEALOUSY :) you look Maahvalous :) Thanks for your inspiration!

Love ya Roni…stop by everyday to see what you are up to. Everyone has something to say, but good for you for not taking it to heart. WW works for some and not for others…oh well :) I am doing very well on WW because I now have the tools and knowledge to make the right choices…and still live my life…I don’t know how that won’t work for some but hey sometimes people just don’t like it when life gets to easy. Anyway, keep on posting and I will keep on reading…have a great day!!

People post on the message boards asking about Flore, which is kinda funny for a few reasons. Core people are very evangelical about their choice of plan (myself included). So that would be like walking into a temple and asking everyone when they think Jesus is coming back. :-)

The whole point of Core is to learn to listen to your body. Obviously, portions are important, but if learn when you’re really hungry, you’ll stop eating. I think Core’s just about the easiest thing ever. :-)
