Cindy's journal

[cinmell]

Monday- I did the 3 mile WATP but made some bad choices for meals.

Tuesday- I did the 4 mile WATP and I'm on track (so far with meals).

[DoeWDW]

Cindy, hang in there!! Your exercise always amazes me! Maybe you should join Lisa's (ZerasPride) scale challenge - give up that silly scale for a month!

Are you seeing any changes in your measurements?

Hope you are having a :sunny: day!!

[cinmell]

Hi Doreen! :wave:

I took measurements for the first time last week so I'll have to wait and see. I've been doing great with exercise, it's the self control with food that's the problem.

I did the 4 mile WATP yesterday and the 2 mile today along with 100 sit ups. I'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings with weigh day. :sunny:

[DoeWDW]

Cindy, I'll send you extra lightening :wizard: for your weigh-in and lots of :sunny: and best wishes for a wonderful long holiday weekend!

[cinmell]

I did the FIRM Cardio Sculpt and today was weigh day.

I was down 1.6 lbs finally after a long time of not losing. I measured again and I forgot to write down my waist measurement from last week so I'm not sure if there is a change with that :mad: . I don't know why I didn't write it down. There was a difference of an inch and a half in my hips. Is it possible to lose 1.5 inches in a week? Either I measured wrong or had a great week.

[cinmell]

I took last week off from exercise but I did a good job with food. I bought a lot of veggies/salad ingredients to snack on as well as substituting regular foods with low fat foods (cheeses/breads). I didn't weigh in b/c I wanted to take a break from the scale but I wish I did weigh in, but I'll just wait until this Friday.

I did the 2 mile WATP and 100 sit ups today.

[DoeWDW]

Cindy, it's tough taking a break from the scale! I'm doing Lisa's (Zeraspride) 1 month stay off the scale challenge! You only have a few more days to wait - you can stay off that scale until Friday!

Sending you good wishes for a :sunny: day!

[cinmell]

Hi Doreen! I stayed off the scale last Friday and I kind of want to do it again but then I just become so curious if there was a loss or not that I become frustrated I just didn't get on the scale!

I did the 3 mile WATP on Tuesday and the FIRM AB Sculpt on Wednesday along with some are weights. Food has been going ok. I've stocked the fridge with zero points snacks (veggies) and stopped buying Pepsi (although I miss it!).

[cinmell]

Thursday I did the 4 mile WATP and today I did the Firm body sculpt, boy am I sore. My legs feel like rubber and my arms felt fine until I started to vacum. OUCH! But that's good b/c I know I moved and that it's working!

I was planning on weighing in but I'm thinking of staying away from that evil scale for one more week which would be 2 weeks, maybe even a month.

[cinmell]

Saturday I went for a 90 minute walk and it was great! It's been a while since I've exercised on the weekend.

Today I did the 3 mile WATP Express and 100 sit ups. I plan on staying within point range today, hopefully.

[cinmell]

Tuesday- 3 mile WATP and 100 crunches

Wednesday- 40 minute walk and Firm Body Sculpt (OUCH)

I've been doing a pretty good job of staying on top of exercising and I have also been pretty good about eating smaller portions but more frequently throughout the day and making sure the day time snacks are low or zero points.

[cinmell]

Thursday- 4 mile WATP

Friday- 2 mile WATP

Sunday- Walking for an hour

Stayed off the scale again this week but I'll be back on next week to see if there are any changes.

[DoeWDW]

Cindy, have you gotten back on the scale yet?? You seem to be doing so well with your exercise - I'm sure that scale will be moving downward in response!! ::yes::

I'm still on Lisa's stay off the scale challenge, but I can finally weigh on Thursday. The only reason I could stay off for a whole month was that I wasn't eating on plan or exercising and I was AFRAID of what the scale would say! :p

Hope you have a wonderful day! :sunny:

[cinmell]

Hi Doreen :wave: ,

I haven't been on the scale yet. Maybe this week. I didn't exercise last week. My husband worked from home due to the DNC so I was busy trying to keep our 3 year old busy and I just didn't have it in me at night to exercise. The last exercise I did was Sunday 7/25 which was an hour or so walk.

I got back on track yesterday doing the 3 mile watp, 100 crunches and arm weights. I did the 2 mile watp today along with 100 crunches and arm work. I wanted to do the 3 or 4 mile but it was too hot in here, even with the ac.

I haven't been over eating but I have been making some pretty poor choices :rolleyes: and I don't know why. I restocked the fridge with salad stuff and make sure I take vitamins and plenty of water each day. Hopefully I'll get beyond this wall I've hit. :sunny:

[cinmell]

Wed- 3 mile watp and arm wrok

Thurs- 4 mile watp and arm work

Friday- 2 mile

I've been doing better with food choices. I will do weigh in and measuring next Friday 8/13.

[cinmell]

I did 5 miles of WATP and arm weights. I was only planning on doing the 4 mile but my mother stopped by when I was over a mile into it so I just started from the beginning when she left. Weigh in will be Friday!

[cinmell]

I wasn't able to get any exercise in on Tuesday, too busy. I did the 4 mile WATP and arm weights on Wed. and Thurs.

[DoeWDW]

Cindy, I hope all is going well. Just popped in to say hi! :wave2:

[cinmell]

I haven't been keeping on top of journaling but my exercise for the past week was:

Fri 8/13 2 mile watp/arm weights
Monday 8/16 3 mile watp/arm weights
Tues 8/17 FIRM Body Sculpt

I plan on exercising today, I'm just not sure what I'll do yet, busy day ahead.
:sunny:

[cinmell]

Well today starts a new week and a new way of doing things. I am going to start writing down all my points again and I plan on officially rejoining WW. Most of my materials are outdated and I want to do this right!

I think my body has gotten used to the moves in WATP. I'm going to do FIRM this week and I've ordered Abs/Pilates/Yoga dvd set that I'm really excited to try. I'm also debating on whether or not I want to try the new WW Core program.

I've done my 100 crunches today and I want to do a FIRM tape, just not sure which one yet.

:sunny:

Edited to add:
Today turned out to be pretty busy and we are going to see the Wiggles in RI so I chose not to do the firm tapes b/c they take just under an hour to complete. So, I did the 2 mile WATP, arm weights and 100 crunches.

[cinmell]

I decided to rejoin WW officially but I didn't want to do online or go to meetings so I ordered the at home kit last Tuesday and I am eagerly awaiting it's arrival. I have been successful with with adding more vegetables to my diet and eating low fat or no fat products. I've also been drinking plenty of water and I've replaced Pepsi with Diet Sprite when I need that fizz.

I tried my new Pilates dvd for the first time today and I liked it. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I ordered the WW home program and it arrived on Tuesday. I have been reading the materials the past few days and alternating the past 3 days between CORE and points to see which plan I like better. I might be sticking with points but I haven't decided yet.

I also ordered 2 new dvds and one arrived yesterday. I think my body was getting too used to the WATP so I wanted to try something new. We don't have big plans for the holiday weekend which is great b/c I won't have to worry about points!

[DoeWDW]

Cindy, glad to hear you're changing up your exercise routine! Our bodies definitely get used to doing the same old moves and they become less effective, so you're on the right track! I love my Pilates - great combination of stretching and ab-work! I haven't done it in ages, though - maybe it's time for me to revisit it! Thanks for the inspiration!

[cinmell]

On Tuesday I tried TammiLee Webb's I want that body for the first time and I thought it was great. I liked the ab section of this dvd better than the FIRM's Ab dvd.

On Thursday I tried FIRM Calorie Killer for the first time. OMG, what a workout. I couldn't finish the dvd! I was soaked with sweat half way thru but I'm gonna give it another shot on Saturday.


I've been experimenting with CORE and points and I think I might stick with points. I'm going to start tracking the points strictly (again) tomorrow. I was thinking of switching weigh in to Monday but I think I'll keep it at Friday.

Doreen, I enjoyed the pilates too. Did you try it again? :sunny:

[cinmell]

I went walking for 45 minutes on Monday (1.7 miles) and did Pilates and 100 sit ups on Tuesday. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I went for a 2.2 mile walk today. I'm going to try to mix up the exercise so I"m not doing the same thing each day.

I haven't weighed in since Aug 26 so I decided to give it a try today and I was down only 2 pounds from 8/26. I'm happy there was a loss but I was hoping for a little more.

[cinmell]

I did Tamilee Webb's I want that body and boy, can I feel it in my arms and abs! Points went well today.
:sunny:

[cinmell]

I went for a 1.7 mile walk today but I went a bit over on points. Thankfully there are flex points! ;)

[cinmell]

Monday 9/20 I went for a 2.2 mile walk.

Tuesday 9/21 I did Tami Lee Webb's I want those abs.

Wednesday 9/22 I went for a 2.7 mile walk.

Thursday 9/23 I did Tami Lee Webb's I want that body.


Monday 9/27 went for a 3.5 mile walk.

Tues 9/28 I did I want those Abs workout.

Friday 10/1 3.5 mile walk

[cinmell]

I went for a 3.3 mile walk. The WW points systems seems to be going ok for me. I've stayed away from the scale again. I'll weigh in either this week or next week.

[cinmell]

It wasn't a very productive day today, I only managed to do some ab work.

[cinmell]

I went for a 2.3 mile walk today.

[cinmell]

This morning I did Tami Lee Webb's I want those arms and abs. Tomorrow I will go walking and maybe next week I will start up with FIRM or WATP. I haven't done them in a while b/c I've been trying to change my exercise routine.

[cinmell]

I went walking for 2.8 miles on Friday. On Monday I did the 2 mile WATP Express and arm weights.

[cinmell]

I did 2 mile WATP and arm weights this morning. :sunny:

[cinmell]

Wed- 1.7 mile walk
Thurs.- 2 mile WATP and arm weights

[cinmell]

I went for a 1.7 mile walk. I haven't exercised since last Thursday until today and I'm not even going to talk about points :rolleyes: .

I had my brother's wedding over the weekend, my daughter has 2 ear infections and a sinus infection and my best friend's father died so we have been busy with her family. Hopefully things will calm down next week and I will be able to focus again.

[cinmell]

I went for a 2.4 mile walk. I haven't been doing a good job point wise :rolleyes: :rolleyes: so I'm going work on tha, again.

[DoeWDW]

Cindy, life sure gets in the way of our healthy living, doesn't it?? You've had a lot going on and hopefully things are starting to settle down. I know you'll get back in the exercise and WW groove, though! You can do it!! :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

[cinmell]

Hi Doreen, thanks for stopping by. :D Yes, life does really get in the way of weight loss and I don't suppose it's going to get any easier with the holiday season coming up!

Anyways, I went for a 1.6 mile walk today and points are ok. I'm just going to take it one day at a time.

:sunny:

[cinmell]

Monday I went for a 1.7 mile walk and on Tuesday I didn't do any aerobic activity but I did 150 sit ups and arm weights. :sunny:

[cinmell]

The last weigh in I recored was on September 15. I stepped on the scale today. Since 9/15, I have gained 2.2 pounds (9/15-11/30). I've really slacked big timr on exercise and points. I'm quite surprised I've only gained 2.2 pounds (not that I'm happy about it but it could have been worse!).

I'm attempting, yet again, to get back on the right track.

[cinmell]

I have been very lazy and not keeping track or points or even trying to stay within points for that matter. I'm ready to get back on track. I will be doing the January 5 lbs. challenge which will be a good way to get back into the swing of things.

[Desiree]

I'm just now getting back on track too! Best of luck to you with the January challenge and Happy New Year!

[cinmell]

Hi Desiree, thanks for stopping by and good luck to you too! :wave:

Today I started exercise again with the 2 mile WATP and arm weights. I started with WW points yesterday.

I stepped on the scale this morning which wasn't pretty. I gained 7.7 pounds since 10/15 and 5 lbs of that was since November 30th :headache: :earseek: :earseek: but it's my own fault for being lazy.

[cinmell]

Well, I'm back and hopefully for good! I did 100 sit ups today but no aerobic exercise. Points are going well so far and I've tried to keep zero points snacks on hand. Hopfully I can get back into the groove this time around.

[pettyone]

Well, I'm back and hopefully for good! I did 100 sit ups today but no aerobic exercise. Points are going well so far and I've tried to keep zero points snacks on hand. Hopfully I can get back into the groove this time around.

Welcome back!!!

:wizard:

[cinmell]

I decided to go back to WW meetings b/c I obviously don't have the discipline to to this on my own any more. I know I'll be more apt to stick to the plan if I have to "answer" to someone each week and have someone else weigh me.

Wednesday will be my first time back at a meeting, I haven't attended one in a couple of years. I'm actually looking forward to it! :sunny:

[cinmell]

Last night was my first night back on plan in a while and my first time back to a WW meeting in couple of years. I gained back 8.2lbs of the 32.6 I lost since I started back to WISH :guilty: but it's my own fault.

I'm actually excited about points and exercise, for now anyway and I will start up with WATP again today. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I started back with WATP, the one mile along with arm weights. :banana:

[cinmell]

I've been doing great with points since I started back with WW on Wednesday, I hope it will show in this week's weigh in! I did WATP last week but realized how bored I was with it and I figure I have to work back up to FIRM so I ordered WATP Walk and Kick and WATP Walk and Jog. I can't wait to try them. :banana:

[pettyone]

Cindy--

I've got the WATP Walk & Jog!! I like the fact that I can vary the intensity of it so that I don't get bored & can get a decent workout...hope you like it!!

[cinmell]

Hi Tracy! I did the walk and kick today and I liked it, I think I'll try the walk and jog tomorrow. I'm glad to hear you liked it!

Last night was my 2nd weigh in (first since joining last week/being back on points) and I lost 4.2 lbs! I know the loss won't be that big each week but it was a good motivator!

[cinmell]

My points are still going great and I did the WATP Walk and Jog today and some arm weights. This weekend might be a bit of a challenge but I have all of my 35 flex points in case I need to dip into them.

[cinmell]

I went for a 2.2 mile walk and it was great to get outside and walk again after such a long winter! :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

[cinmell]

Today I did WATP Walk & Kick along with arm weights. The weekend wasn't as bad as I thought it would be when it came to points and today is going great so far. Tomorrow night is weigh in and I'm anxious to see what the results will be.

[cinmell]

I was down 2 lbs. to bring my total loss since March 9th to 6.2 lbs. I'm happy with the 2 lbs. loss, but I was thinking it would be a little more since I exercised this week. However, I'm not complaining! :cool1:

It's going to be a trying weekend. We are going to the Outback Thursday night for a birthday celebration for a relative and Sunday is my birthday and Easter so I hope I don't blow it this week!

[cinmell]

Well, I pretty much blew it for this week and I'm not looking forward to weigh in on Wednesday night. Thursday night, Saturday night and yesterday were blah.

Today is going well with points and I did the 3 mile WATP and arm weights.

[pettyone]

This weekend seemed to be tough for everyone!!

Good job on the WATP!! Back on track!! :cheer2:

[cinmell]

Hi Tracy, thanks for stopping by!

Yesterday was a good day. I didn't use my activity points and I had 1.5 of my daily allowance left over. I know you are supposed to use them all but I didn't want them yesterday.

Today I did the WATP Walk and Kick, 100 sit ups and arm weights. I'm still nervous about weight in tomorrow night but it will be motivation for next week!

[cinmell]

I went for a 1.8 mile walk today. I had weigh in and lost .4 lbs. It's not much but I'm happy considering I was expecting a gain b/c I had 3 bad points days this past week. I hope to do much better this week.

[cinmell]

I did WATP 3 mile express this morning in addition to some arm weights. Points are going well and this next week doesn't have much going on so there shouldn't be too many "extra" temptations this week.

[cinmell]

I did the 3 mile watp express today with arm weights.

I had an ok weekend points wise and there's only 2 days until this week's weigh in and I'm curious to see how I did this week.

[cinmell]

Points are going great so far this week. This morning I did the walk and kick dvd and arm weights. One day until this week's weigh in.

[cinmell]

I'm down 2.8 this week. :banana: :banana: This weekend is probably going to be a trainwreck point wise b/c I'm going away for the weekend but I'll do the best I can.

Next week I'm switching my weigh day from Wednesday night to Saturday mornings. I don't like waiting for WW all day on Wednesdays (meetings not until 6:30pm). Hopefully I'll feel better on weight day b/c I won't be waiting until after dinner to weigh in!

[cinmell]

I did arm weights and 3 mile watp this morning. Points are on target so far and I have the rest of the day planned out!

[cinmell]

This morning I did arm weights and 3 mile WATP Express. Points were great yesterday but Friday - Sunday were a bust b/c I was away and ate out all weekend. I have the day planned out for the day so if I stick to them I'll be in good shape.

This week I'm going to switch weigh in/WW meetings from Wednesday nights to Saturday mornings, I think that time will work better for me.

[cinmell]

I did the 3 mile WATP express and arm weights this morning. Points didn't go too well this week and I haven't exercised as much as I planned to. I will find out the damage on Saturday morning at weigh in but I will be following the points and exercise from today on (hopefully not hitting too many bumps along the way! ).

[cinmell]

I did the walk and kick dvd and weights. Tomorrow is weigh day and I'm not looking forward to it. :blush: :rolleyes:

[cinmell]

I'm down .8 this week for a total of 10.2 since March 9th.

[cinmell]

This morning I went for a 2.5 mile walk and this afternoon I did the walk and Kick dvd and 100 sit ups. :sunny:

[cinmell]

Today I did the walk and jog dvd, sit ups and arm weights. Points have been going well the past 2 days (not great on Sunday :rolleyes: ) but I'm back on track.

[cinmell]

I went walking for 3.8 miles and did sit ups. Points didn't go too well at dinner b/c I went out to eat, oh well.

[cinmell]

This morning I did the 4 mile WATP, sit ups and arm weights. I want to be really strict with points today and tomorrow (2 days til weigh in) since I messed up last night when I went out to eat. I'm anxious about this week's weigh in! :crazy:

[cinmell]

This morning I did sit ups and 4 mile watp with weights. My points went well yesterday but I really haven't planned meals for the rest of the day which is when I slip a little but I know I'll stay within my daily points range today mostly b/c tomorrow is weigh in!

[cinmell]

Weigh in was this morning and I'm up .2 lbs. Oh well, could have been worse considering I had a bad points week. Thankfully I kicked up the exercise this past week or it could have been worse.

[cinmell]

This morning I did 3 Mile WATP Express, sit ups and arm weights. I ordered a Tae Bo DVD which is scheduled to arrive within the next 3 days and I'm anxious to try it out. I need something new and I have no desire to do my FIRM dvd's at all!

[cinmell]

This morning I did 3 mile watp and arm weights. I've been doing well with points, even accounting for flex points which I tend to slack off on.

[cinmell]

This morning I tried Billy Blanks' Tae Bo dvd for the first time but only got thru 18 minutes of it :faint: then did my walk and kick dvd.

Yesterday was a bad day, no exercise and no regard for points. We went out for a family dinner to celebrate my grandmother's birthday and I blew it :rolleyes: :sad2: :rolleyes1 but that was only one meal and I'm determined to stay on track again. There are 2 more days until weigh in and I'm not looking forward to it!

[mking624]

Oh I've always wanted to try Tae Bo! I heard it's excellent!! Don't worry about only getting through part of it...you just gotta slowly build up your endurance so you can get through more and more each time you do it!

[cinmell]

Oh I've always wanted to try Tae Bo! I heard it's excellent!! Don't worry about only getting through part of it...you just gotta slowly build up your endurance so you can get through more and more each time you do it!

Oh, I'm still sore! It will definitely take time to build up to being able to finish the entire workout!

On Friday I walked for 1.3 miles and blew it with points.

Today I walked 1.1 miles and points are going well. I was down .6 at weigh in this morning. I wanted it to be a bigger loss but I didn't do well this week point wise so I'm happy with any loss.

[cinmell]

Today I did the 3 mile watp and arm weights. I stayed on track with points Saturday and yesterday but not Sunday. Points are going well so far today but I feel like it's going to be a tough week for some reason.

[plutosmyfav]

Hi Cindy,

Good job with the points so far. I just know you can do it! :cheer2: Here's to getting through a tough week :wizard:

Sunny

[cinmell]

Thanks Sunny! I did the 4 mile watp with weights this morning. Points are fine so far but I have no idea what dinner will be. I'm so sick of the same things over and over.

[cinmell]

This morning I did 3mile watp and walk and kick dvd with arm weights. Points have been going well but we'll see how well this Saturday morning at weigh in.

[cinmell]

I'm down 1.4 for a total of 12 so far. :sunny:

[mking624]

Yeah!!! Way to go, Cindy...that's excellent!! :cheer2:

[cinmell]

Thanks Mary! :wave:

Today and Tuesday I did the 3 mile watp express with arm weights. I'm not looking forward to weigh in on Saturday, this has been my worst week so far. :rolleyes1

[cinmell]

I did the walk and kick dvd and arm weights today. Weigh in is tomorrow and I can't imagine how it's going to go. It was a bad week this week (point wise) but it was my own fault so I'll have to work harder next week!

[cinmell]

I did walk and kick and arm weights today. I also stayed within my points range. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I did walk and kick dvd and arm work. Points are going well and I have the rest of the day planned out so if I stick to it I'll be ok today.

[mking624]

Hi Cindy!! How did your weigh in go? You sound like you're doing really well with the working out!

[cinmell]

Hi Mary!
Last week weigh in was good b/c I was down 1.8. :cool1:

This week's weigh in was this morning and I'm down 2 lbs from last week for a total of 15.8 since March 9, 2005. I was honestly expecting no loss or even a gain this week b/c I barely exercised and slacked off on journaling my points. I've also started drinking a lot of Pepsi this past week which is a major downfall of mine but somehow it all worked out. However, it will be back to exercising this week and journaling everything. Have a good week!

[cinmell]

I did the 3 mile watp dvd this morning. Points are going well so far this week. :sunny:

[cinmell]

Today I did the 3 mile watp express and I'm staying within points today but went a bit off track Tues & Wed. We'll see how it goes on Saturday at weigh in.

[plutosmyfav]

You are doing great, Cindy :cheer2:

Keep up the great work!!!!

Sunny

[cinmell]

You are doing great, Cindy :cheer2:

Keep up the great work!!!!

Sunny
Thank you!!!!

Well today I did the walk and jog dvd with arm weights. I've had a cold most of the week but figured I have to get off my butt. I'm not sure how weigh in will go tomorrow. The weeks I think I did well I lose a little, the weeks I think I did poorly I seem to lose more :confused3 so I'm curious to see tomorrow's results. I think I did ok this week, I could have done better but I also could have definitely done worse!

[cinmell]

I only lost .2 lbs. thiss week but that's not bad considering how I slacked in the points and exercise dept.

[cinmell]

I did the 2 mile watp express today and arm weights. I hope I stay on track with points b/c I haven't been doing too well with them.

[cinmell]

I'm down .8 this week for a total of 16.8 since March 9th. :banana: :banana: I am happy with a loss this week, but I'm hoping for a bigger one next week!

[cinmell]

I did walk and kick dvd and arm toning. This is the first time I've exercised in a few days due to allergies/cold and sunburn.

[cinmell]

This morning I did 40 minutes of toning on my arms, legs, hips, abs and butt. Points are ok this week.

[cinmell]

I did toning exercises and walk and kick dvd. Points are ok this week.

[cinmell]

I'm down 1.8 this week! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[cinmell]

I walked for 90 minutes today. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I did 2 mile watp express and arm weights this morning. Also, as I was journaling my breakfast I realized I have moved into the next point range so I "lose" 2 points per day. I have been going by my previous points range since weigh in on Sat. but never realized I have to change.

[cinmell]

I usually weigh in on Saturdays but I had to go a day early on Friday b/c we went away for the weekend. I was up .6 lbs.

We were away from Friday to Monday and I didn't do a great job of staying on track at all over the weekend. :rolleyes: Hopefully I'll be able to do better this week. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I knew this weigh in wasn't going to be good. We went away last week and we ate out almost every meal and I tried funnel cake and kennel corn for the first time :rolleyes: but they were good ;).

The damage was that I was up 1.8 at weigh in :sad2: :scared1: :sad2: but it was my own fault. I'm looking forward to a loss this week so it's back to exercise and points again.

---------------------------------------------
Monday June 27
I did the 2 mile watp express and arm work. Back on track with points. :sunny:

[cinmell]

Today I did the walk and kick dve and upper body work. Points have been ok this week. I slipped a couple of times but I'm doing MUCH better than last week. Two days until weigh in :rolleyes1 .

[cinmell]

I'm down 1.8 (the same amount I was up last week). :sunny:

[cinmell]

I was up a pound at weigh in. I'm stuck in a rut and I can't seem to get out. I don't have anything coming up in the next few weeks to throw my off track point wise so hopefully I can back to the losing streak I was on a month ago.

[cinmell]

I did the walk/kick dvd and upper body work. I'm hoping this week's weigh in will be better than last week. I haven't been exercising so one of my goal's this week is to get back into an exercise routine.

[cinmell]

I did 2 mile watp express and upper body work today. Two days until weigh in! :scared1:

[cinmell]

I'm down a pound this week. I'm hoping to be down a little more this coming week.

[lillygator]

Yeah for the pound loss!!! :)

[cinmell]

Yeah for the pound loss!!! :)

Thank you!


I did walk and kick dvd with upper body work too this morning. I'm doing ok with points so far the week but could be better.

[cinmell]

I just finished the 3 mile WATP express and upper body exercises. It's too hot for exercising!!!! :faint: ;)

[cinmell]

This morning I did the 3 mile watp and this afternoon I did the 2 mile watp. Weigh in is tomorrow and I can't wait to see how I did!

[cinmell]

I'm back from weigh in and I'm schocked :scared1: :scared1: , I'm up 2.4 lbs!!!!!!!!!!! :faint: :eek: :sad: :sad: I don't know what happened. :confused3 I was back to exercising and snacking on zero point veggies. I thought I had a good points week so I'm really stumped. I've never had a gain that big in one week (while on WW) and just can't figure out why. I have a lot of work to do this week and I guess it's great incentive to do better this week.

[Cruise04]

:wave2:

Sorry to hear about your gain. I had that happen to me when I was on WW one time. I'd go good for a few weeks, kick up the exercise and water and gain. Then I'd drop, then I'd gain. Hopefully this next week you'll do better - and that is incentive, unfortunately!!!!

Keep on :banana: :banana:
Chris

[cinmell]

Thanks Chris! :wave2: I'm hoping for a better week this weigh in.

Today I did 3 mile watp and arm weights.

[cinmell]

I went for a 2 mile walk today and it was VERY HOT! :sunny: I can't wait for the cool down we are supposed to get later on today.

[Cruise04]

Good job on the workout. It's 73 degrees right now here in IL and it's 1:30 - nice and cool, nice and cool!!! Some areas might hit the high 40's tonight - nice sleeping weather. Hope it comes your way soon!

Keep on :banana: :banana:
Chris

[cinmell]

I did the walk and kick dvd and upper body work this morning. Weigh in is tomorrow and I'm soooooo curious to see how it will go. :bitelip:

[Cruise04]

Just wanted to wish you good luck tomorrow on weigh in - hope all goes well!!!!

Keep on :banana: :banana:
Chris

[cinmell]

I'm down 1.2 lbs. for this week. I'm hoping to lose more this coming week!

[lillygator]

WAY TO GO~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

That is great!!

[Cruise04]

Way to go on the loss Cindy - BRAVO!!!!! Keep up the good work and you'll get there!!!!

Keep on :banana: :banana:
Chris

[cinmell]

Thanks Chris!


I did the walk & jog dvd and points went really well today. :)

[lillygator]

Great job!! What DVD is that? I would love to find a jogging DVD that I could do at home...sometimes it is so hard to find a free moment that DH can watch the girls so I can actually go around the block!

[cinmell]

I went walking for 2.5 miles today. :sunny:

The Walk and Jog DVD is by Leslie Sansone (the Walk Away the Pounds Series Lady) and it's only 30 minutes. It's intervals of walking/kicking/knee lifts and side steps and 2-3 minutes intervals of jogging. It's not bad, it gets me moving! During the video, Leslie says due to the the pace of the workout, it supposedly equals a 2.5 mile walk.

[cinmell]

I went for a 2.5 mile walk today.

I wasn't able to go to WW on Saturday so I missed weigh in for the first time since I re-joined on March 9th. I feel so guilty.

[cinmell]

I did my walk and jog dvd and upper body work. Points are going ok this week (not well at all last week). I am absolutely dreading weigh in on Saturday morning.

[cinmell]

I did the 3 mile watp express today and upper body work.

[cinmell]

I went for a 30 minute walk and did the walk and kick dvd. Actually, I had to stop doing the dvd about ten minutes before it ended b/c my daughter ran into the doorknob on the closet door. :rolleyes:

I have weigh in on Saturday but I was thinking about doing WW on my own again b/c I only go to weigh in, I haven't stayed for a meeting in over a month. I'll go the next couple of weeks I guess to see how I do.

[cinmell]

I thought about skipping again today but I went. I was down 1.4 lbs. At least I know not going last week didn't throw me too off track. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I did the walk and jog dvd and points seem to be going well so far this week.

[cinmell]

I did the 2 mile express watp with weights and stretchy band. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I went for a 2.2 mile walk today. Points seem to be ok this week but I'll find out for sure at weigh in on Saturday morning!

[Cruise04]

Congrats on that weight loss Cindy - that is awesome - BRAVO!!!!!! That had to have felt great especially if you were off last week in the exercise field. You are really working out wonderfully and now it's showing!!!! Good job!

Keep on :banana: :banana:
Chris

[cinmell]

Thanks Chris!

This week wasn't so great though, up .4. I didn't exercise as much as I should have and ate over my point range a couple of times.


On Monday I did the walk and kick dvd with arm weights.

[cinmell]

I did my walk and kick dvd with some upper body work. I've been very lazy this week with exercise and points. :rolleyes: Not looking forward to weigh in. :rolleyes1

[cinmell]

Monday---- Walk and jog dvd
Tuesday---- 2 milew WATP Express dvd


I wasn't able to go to weigh in on Saturday. I'm getting better with points and exercise but I still need to stick to the points more, I've been slacking.

[cinmell]

I did 2 mile watp express with stretchie band and arm weights today. Points have been ok.

[lillygator]

Hi Cindy! Sounds like you have been working out quite a bit!! Great job - what exactly is the stretchie band things?

[cinmell]

I just finished the walk and kick dvd and arm weights and stretchie band. I skipped weigh in on 8/27 but on 9/3 I was down 3.8.


Hi lillygator! The strechie band came with one of my watp dvds. It's a long stretchie or elastic type band that adds some resistance for upper body work (arms/chest).

[Cruise04]

Congrats on that weight loss - that is awesome!!!!! And you are really doing well on getting workouts in - you should be very proud of yourself!

Keep on :banana: :banana:
Chris

[cinmell]

Thanks Chris!

Today I did the walk and jog dvd with stretchie band and arm weights. On Tuesday, I went for a 40 minute walk.

[cinmell]

I went for a 3.1 mile walk today. I haven't been exercising much due to a head and chest cold and points haven't been going well at all. I hope to do better when I get rid of this cold.

[cinmell]

I went for a 1.9 mile walk. I've been doing ok with points but haven't stepped on a scale in two weeks. I'm going to face the music on Friday morning and get back on the scale to see how I've done.

[cinmell]

I did the walk and kick dvd with weights and stretchie band today.

[cinmell]

Today I did the 3 mile watp with weights and stretchie band. Points are going really well today.

[cinmell]

Yesterday I went for a 2.7 mile walk and today I went for a 1.8 mile walk. :sunny:

[Cruise04]

Awesome job on the walks that you are getting in Cindy. If you can't swim, might as well use those legs some other way and walking is a great way!!!!! Keep up the good work - hope everything else is going good.

Keep on :banana: :banana:
Chris

[cinmell]

Thanks Chris. :wave2: I've been a little lazy the past few days but got offr my lazy butt today and did the walk and kick dvd with arm weights and stretchie bands.

[cinmell]

I did the walk and jog dvd with arm weights and stretchie band. Today it is back to starting writing points down. I haven't been writing them down or even keeping track of them so it's time to be accountable!

[cinmell]

I did a 1.6 mile walk but I haven't been writing down points since Monday (that only lasted one day :rolleyes1 :rolleyes: ) but I really want to get back on track b/c I don't want to gain back what I've lost so far.

[Cruise04]

Just checking in to see how you are doing. Hope all is going okay!

Keep on :banana: :banana:
Chris

[cinmell]

Hi Chris! I'm here but I've been really lazy and slacking off in the exercise and points departments.

Yesterday I went for a 1.4 mile walk and today I did the 2 mile watp express with stretchie band and arm weights. I'm trying to get back on track with points but I just don't seem to have much will power lately but I have been getting better the past week or so.

[cinmell]

I did the walk and kick dvd with stretchie band and arm weights. Points were ok yesterday but I really have to work on keep the points down at dinner time.

[Cruise04]

Just checking in and hoping you are doing well.

Take care
Keep on :banana: :banana:
Chris

[cinmell]

I'm finally getting back on track, again. :rolleyes: I weighed myself after a long vacation from the scale and saw that I went up 12-13 pounds since October. :scared1: :sad:

Now I'm back to exercise, lots of water, getting rid of Pepsi and counting and keeping strict track of points.

I did the walk and kick dvd and so far points are good for the day. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I did walk and jog kickboxing dvd today and points are going great. But, I had my physical last week and they did blood work for cholesterol. I received a letter today saying I have to go back. I went from 241 two years ago, which was high then, to 274!!!! Since that appointment two years ago I started exercising (with exception of past 2 months) and eating a better. I haven't completely changed my way of eating but have made big changes from what I'm used to. For cheeses(which I LOVE) I switched most to 2%, I used whole wheat oat bran pita pockets instead of white bread or sub roll and eat boar's head roasted turkey breast for lunch instead of ham. For breakfast it's been cheerios or mini shredded wheat or egg whites and dinner is mainly some type of chicken and veggies for snack. I have to go tomorrow for the blood work where I fast and if it's still high she will put me on meds esp. due to my family history. I'm so furious with myself. I'm only 34 and shouldn't need medicine for cholesterol. :sad1:

[cinmell]

I went for a 1.8 mile walk today. I would love for this weather to keep up so I can continue to get out in walk instead of being stuck with doing the dvds at home. It's beautiful out!

[cinmell]

I did the 2 mile watp express today. Points are ok.

[cinmell]

I haven't had much time to exercise the past few days with out of stay relatives in town and my daughter coming down with a stomach virus. Today I was able to get in the 1 mile watp, not much but it's better than nothing. Points are ok but at least I'm keeping track again.

Friday is weigh day and I'm not looking forward to it! :scared1:

[cinmell]

I did the one mile watp express with weights. Points are getting better but I haven't been writing everything down as I should be. I'll be starting that tomorrow.

[cinmell]

I did the one mile watp express with weights. I haven't been exercising too much due to my daughter being home sick and now I'm catching it. :worried: I wish everyone would be healthy again, being sick is making me :crazy: .

[cinmell]

Today I did the one mile watp and some toning. I was away this weekend so points were pretty much a bust but a new week has started!

[cinmell]

I went for a 1.5 mile walk, it was so nice out! :sunny: Points are ok but I could be doing a little better.

[cinmell]

I'm back! I've been eating "a bit" better but I've ignored exercise all together for a few weeks until today. I did the 2 mile WATP Express with arm weights. Gotta get in shape for the Polynesian in May!!! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[cinmell]

On Tuesday I did the 2 mile watp and Thursday I only did the one mile. I've been doing ok with the points.

[cinmell]

I only did the one mile watp express today with weights. I plan to bump it up to the 2 or 3 mile next week or maybe do the kickboxing dvd.

I weiged myself for the first time in a while today and... :rolleyes1 :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: .

[cinmell]

I did 2 mile watp with weights on Monday and walked for 2.1 miles on Tuesday. :sunny:

[cinmell]

I only did a .6 mile walk today. I haven't been feeling well and I hope it passes soon. I'm planning on going walking tomorrow, it's supposed to be gorgeous out. I'm going to charge up the ipod tonight so it will be ready for walking! :sunny:

[lillygator]

Hope you are feeling better by tomorrow!!

[cinmell]

I went for a 1.2 mile walk today and it was soooo nice out! :sunny:

[goldcupmom]

I'm just catching up on journals. I LOVE WATP!! HAve you ever tried her CD's for walking outside. They're good, too!

Hope you're having a good week!

[cinmell]

Well, I've been away for a while and I'm back to start all over. I had my 2nd baby on November 3rd and my exercise routine and WW went out the window during the pregnancy. Now that I'm feeling back to myself and the holidays are over, it's time to get back on track.

I plan to use Friday as my weigh in day each week so I'll just try to get back into the swing of things for the next few days and keep track of points starting Friday.

I have found in the past that I have to ease into it for a week or so otherwise I give up.

[goldcupmom]

Congratulations on the baby, Cindy! Don't worry about the weight, it will come off! Enjoy your little ones & have a Happy, Healthy New Year!

[cinmell]

Thanks for stopping by Julie, and for the words for encouragement.

Last week didn't go quite as I expected. We had my daughter's christening yesterday so I had a lot of running around and errands to do last week. I only did the 1 mile WATP on Tuesday 1/2. I did 50 sit ups today but I should really do some cardio. I'm starting to track WW points today but I have to go shopping and by low point foods for this to work.

[cinmell]

I did the walk and kick dvd (kick boxing) with arm weights along with 100 sit ups. I'm starting to write down points and strictly follow them for the first time in over a year. I hate the first week of this but once I get into the habit it will be easier.

[cinmell]

Wednesday I only managed to do the one mile watp express and weights. I did stay on track with points Tues and Wed. I didn't exercise on Thursday except for walking around the mall. So far I'm track with points for Thursday!

[cinmell]

I'm down 2.2 lbs since last Tuesday. I was hoping for more but I'll take what I can get. I did the walk and jog dvd today and arm weights and I'm on track with points. :)

[cinmell]

I didn't exercise yesterday and today I only did the one mile watp express. It hasn't been a great week exercise/WW points wise.

[cinmell]

Today is weigh down and I'm down 2.8 for the week for a total of 5lbs lost since 1/9. I exercised Monday thru Friday this week which is the first time in a looooong time I've exercised 5 days in a week! I'm hoping to keep that up!

[cinmell]

I only did the one mile watp today and points didn't go well. Hoping for a better day tomorrow but with 2 sick kids at home, the exercise opportunity isn't looking too good.

I ordered the new WW at home materials today and I'm anxious to see the new sliders and info.

[cinmell]

I exercised Monday thru Thursday this week. I was only down .2. Hopefully next week there will be better results.

[cinmell]

I did the walk and kick dvd yesterday and stayed on track with points yesterday, actually had 1 point left over. ;) I was going to blow off exercise for no good reason today but the new Denise Austin Boot Camp DVD that I ordered arrived around 8:30 this morning so I took it as a sign. ;) I did the 20 minute cardio boot camp and 20 minute strength boot camp and boy am I sore! But it felt good to try a different exercise routine and I definitely felt it!

I ordered the new WW materials and I really like them. According to the new points system, I actually have a daily points target that is 2 points highter than the old way!

[cinmell]

I had one point left over yesterday and 3 not used so far today but I may have a snack ;) I did the boot camp dvd again today and my thighs are really sore but I know that means it's working!

[cinmell]

I did the 2 mile watp for abs today and some toning. I stayed on track with points all week so far and hope to keep it up today. :)

[cinmell]

I'm down 1.6 since last week. It seems like it's going soooo slow but at least I"m losing. I did strength training boot camp today so it's the second week in a row of Monday thru Friday exercising. Points went much better this past week than last week so I'm hoping I can keep it up. Total loss since 1/9 is 6.6.

[cinmell]

On Monday I did strength training bootcamp. I didn't exercise on Tuesday, it was the second day my 6 year old was home sick so exercise was pushed to the back burner. Yesterday I did the 2 mile watp and weights and toning exercises. Points have been just ok this week and tomorrow is weigh day so we'll see how it goes then!

[cinmell]

I decided it's time to get back to points and exercising. I decided a long time ago but I'm finally ready. I haven't had an exercise routine or followed points since 4/4.

I finally got back on the scale today expecting the worst but somehow I was down 11.4 pounds since 4/4 & I don't know how but I'm not complaining! So it's time to get back on track pull out the exercise dvd's and points calculators.

Wow! The weight loss is AWESOME!! You must have been doing something right!

Have a great weekend!

[cinmell]

It's been a loooooooong time since I've been on this thread. :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: Once again :rolleyes: , I have to get back on track. I'm going to try to ease back into points again.

Exercise time isn't easy to schedule with a one year old who doesn't nap. :scared1: So, I guess I'll be heading to the mall quite a bit to get some walking in.

[cinmell]

Well I'm back, again. I've gained a lot of weight since the first of February due to thyroid medicine. I was diagnosed with severely over active thryroid. I thought the doctor was wrong b/c I thought overactive thyroid meant you would be really skinny but the endocrinologist said that's not always true. I'm on a 30 mg of Methimazole. I gained 30lbs from 2/2 to April. The doctor still wouldn't lower the dose b/c my numbers hadn't lowered enough. I'm also on 2 blood pressure medicines.

Soooo, here I am back on WW. I just started recording my points this morning . I'm debating on whether I want to follow WW on my own at home or start going to meetings again. I've had success in the past doing it both ways but this time I'm not sure what I want to do. :confused3 My WW books are from 2006 so I'm not sure if much has changed since then.

I was using the WATP dvds successfully but it got too difficult to do with a 1 year old that doesn't nap so I've been trying to get in more walking.

[cinmell]

I joined WW meetings (again) on Tuesday night. The leader was fantastic so I'm sure I will have no trouble going to the meetings b/c she made it fun and interesting. She gave us her phone number and email and to use them any time.

I did very well with the points yesterday and hoping to do the same today. I'm going to start exercising again next week. This week is a little busy so I want to get back on an exercise schedule.

[cinmell]

Weigh in was Tuesday 6/24. I was down 2.8. I'm happy with a loss but I was hoping for a little more since it was the first week.

[cinmell]

I'm down another 2.6 for a total of 5.4 since starting (again) 2 weeks ago. I just need to add some exercise but it's been hard to find the time.

[cinmell]

Just finished the 1 Mile WATP Express and used arm weights.

[cinmell]

Well I'm down 8 lbs since starting back on WW on June 17th. I really haven't been writing down points or exercising so I could have done much better but I'll take the loss so far.

[cinmell]

I can't believe how long I've been away from WISH! :blush: I plan to start WW , AGAIN, tomorrow. I just haven't been able to get motivated. Wish me luck!

[cinmell]

Weigh in was today and I was down 7 lbs! I couldn't believe it. I weighed myself at least 7 times in 2 different rooms, moving the scale to different areas in the room b/c I didn't believe I was down 7lbs in the first week. I know you usually lose the most the first week or 2 but I was still shocked! That was great motivation and I hope I can keep it up the next week!

[cinmell]

I was only down .8 this week. :confused3 I thought I did a good job with points but I guess not.

I'm not doing well with points at all so far this week so I expect this Friday's weigh in to be bad.
