I have a lazy question. Do you know how many points are in the smoothie? I mean, I know I could enter it all but I was wondering if you figured it out yet. I'm glad you're feeling better, you look fantastic!

Cathy, First, I want to ask you, how can you look at those pictures and not be proud of yourself? You look fantastic! I read through all of the comments up until now and I have to say I agree with ALL OF THEM. But I also wanted to tell you that I just had this same conversation with my Weight Watchers leader. I have been bouncing up and down 3-5 pounds for the past month. Part of me feels like I've just been a bit sloppy. I've been doing the same type of exercise for so long that maybe my body is bored (like my brain) and has decided to stop losing. The weather isn't helping me one little bit. I feel like so many people have been saying they're frustrated and stuck and sick of it, just these past few weeks. February is a bitch, I think. And it's kicking my Weight Watchin' butt. So I've decided to try and change things up. I got a step aerobic video and step, I'm ditching the treadmill for a month, and I'm working in two days of strength training (video) a week. I'm gonna stop goofing with my points and do the program, using all of my extra points. I'm giving it a month and I'm gonna see if it makes a difference. I've been at the 75 pound mark for too long. I can complain and moan, but I really can't give up. If I'm upset now, I'll be in some serious trouble if I go back to where I started. I've been at this for 2 years and 11 months. I lost 50 pounds in the first 7 months. You do the math. But the one thing I know for sure is that backwards is not an option. I hear from some women in my meetings that when they were stuck they started the strength training and it really pushed them through. I know one woman who lost 100 pounds and then hit a plateau that lasted YEARS. She started strength training 2-3 times a week (she is a runner by the way) and in a few weeks the scale started moving again. She went on to lose 40 more pounds. Don't lose hope. You've done fabulous things for your body. It will repay you by sticking around alot longer.

I'm a stream of consciousness blogger. Sometimes it works, sometimes notsomuch. I try to get over there at least once a week. Since I haven't really kept up with the scrapbooking it helps me keep some sort of story going. So, I head on over and just think about what's going on, and start typing. Seriously, I almost never edit, except to throw in a couple of pictures here and there. Maybe that's why I have so few readers! LOL!

Thanks, ladies! I know, we think that with the kids out of the house for a few hours we'll get something done, but I end up spending almost as much time at their schools (three different ones this year)! *waiting for Christmas break*
