Newest update (3-14-19)! I reached goal again. Now I'm 1.5 pounds under goal. Not sure if I'll reset my goal weight, or just keep doing my thing. I'll be 68 in July, so some time has passed... but it seems because I lost so slowly this time, I'm finding it rather easy to maintain AND slowly drop a little more. I'm using plain old CICO right now, and it's working for me. YAY!!! lol

Time for an update! I'll be a 66 year old woman next month! I am no longer using the WW system. I stalled on it, and simply couldn't get it to work for me after a certain point. So I tried a few different plans, and finally found Slimming World, a diet plan that started in England and finally made it's way over here to the States. It's a bit different here than across the big pond, due to the American diet recommendations (seems we suggest more dairy/calcium intake than they do over there), but whatever... it actually worked for me, with no counting of anything. Eat loads of free foods, count ONLY my syns (the bad foods! lol). And I made goal last April! YAY ME! Maintained for 2 months and then our world started to fall apart... and I discovered something I never knew about myself... I'm a stress eater! (Always thought I was just a glutton, eating for pure flavor.) WELL, push came to shove, and I gained 24 pounds back again. While Slimming World still works for me, I no longer pay a monthly fee, and feel I do better when I post online, makes me more accountable to myself and the entire world! lol SO... here I am, going at it again. At least I only need to drop 24 pounds this time around, right? Ok, that's my update, now back to regularly scheduled program, as Char Gets Thin! rofl
