My next goal is 285. Yes, it's only 4 pounds but it keeps me motivated when it is super-achievable. I want to be 285 or less for the Reunion and I like to give myself ample time to do that since my weight loss is slow.
It took me 5 weeks to lose 6 pounds after stalling twice! When I look back and my food journal, I can see that I had either too much meat or processed food and not enough exercise.
I was exhausted last night so I did 12 minutes on the stationary bike and burned 90 calores. I'll take it, it's enough to keep my metabolism in check!

Way to go, Yo!!! You are a MACHINE!

I weighed in - down .8. I am ssssuuuuppppeeerrr excited I crossed THE threshold I had set for myself I think two months ago. I had set backs and lags and poor eating... but I finally did it. Now onto my next goal. I have set my next goal to materialize by November 18 weigh in. It is to lose another 10 lbs. That gives me 10 weeks. So, 1 lb per week give or take seems pretty reasonable for my body right now.
Today I had my super duper cannot live without coffee - 6 pts
Protien shake - 5 points
Bean Burrito 12 points
Orange 0
Apple 0
So I can have my eggs and black bean mixutre with a big lovely salad for supper. That will be my remaining 6 pts.
I am going to a family reunion this weekend, lots of triggers. But I think I will do okay. I am taking cut up veges for snacks and making sure I eat healthy. My father and two brothers ALWAYS make comments about my weight. I stopped talking to each of them after I politely (and then not so politely) asked them to stop asking me about my weight as the second question into any conversation we had. They did not stop, so I stopped all communication. It was truly the last straw.
So.... thankfully there will be chocolate cake for my grandmothers birthday with ice cream. I am allergic to chocolate and can't eat dairy so I am alll good in that department. And I know members of my family will comment on what I put in my mouth as per my comment above. So... joy joy fun fun.
But... I crossed my THRESHOLD and I am staying on track. And Thursday Zumba is back in October. My life is pretty darn great!!!

Good luck at the reunion. I hope the McNasties keep a lid on it.
As for calling WW... I'm not a phone person.
But I did do additional searching online and think a point per slice is more than fair.
