Weight Watchers Chat -- Part III

Down 1.2 this week.... less than a pound until my 10%

Felt like I was wearing someone else's clothes at work yesterday... too big and baggy.... don't really want to buy new stuff yet though. All in all I guess it's a good problem to have!

Mermaid02 I found your 1.2 because I gained it this week. O well, I'm not letting it get me down; I leave Saturday for WDW!!! I'm taking a break from counting points and going to enjoy my vacation!

congrats to everyone who was a loser this week and WAY TO GO on getting into those smaller sizes girls!

Sorry you are up Steph. Towards the end I struggled with the same 3 lbs for months. But glad to see it's not getting you down. Have a magical trip please let us know how the new fantasyland is looking. I'm jealous . If kids were still in year round schools we would be leaving on Saturday too.

Wow, the pictures are great!!!

I had my first weigh in today, I am down 5.6 pounds! Yay! I went for a 2 mile walk today. I hope to work up to running. I always used to say that the only reason for running is something chasing you....but I might have to revise that statement. It is to fit into your favorite jeans!

If you want to start running and you are like me and had no uh experience with running, google Jeff Galloway's conditioning plan. It's baby steps to running. I'm convinced he's a genius. I've been following the plan and can see that I'm making progress.

Great! I will have to check that out! Thank you!

Ok, everyone. I just LOVE inspirational weight loss photos. So, I went through all 3 boards and compiled links to all our WW Disboarder's who have posted: before/during & before/after photos. Hope this continues to inspire everyone and show that WW WORKS!!!

Totally inspirational and YOU look fabulous!

I see that the weekly points reset on Sunday. Is there anyway to change that to reset on my weigh in day?

Yes. At the WW website on your Plan Manager page, you should see a Settings Icon. Click on that. Then, at Settings, click on the "Set Weight & Goals" tab. That brings you to a page where you can change your weigh in day. Sunday is a default day. My WI day is Wednesday.

Let us know if you have any trouble with that.

DITTO - everyone looks GREAT!! .. I am currently on doing the BL Fall Challenge and WW on my own.. (financial reasons) I have all the Points+ stuff and the calculator and the pedometer and a 3 month journal. I weigh in every friday on the thread. I take Zumba twice a week for activity. trying to make it my lifestyle now vs. dieting and now my goal is to post a picture of before and after! I just find that post to be so inspiring! thank you and congrats to everyone..

 

[sjms71]

Anyone else takes pictures please feel free to add to the post or I can do it. Also, maybe we should add the picture post to the first post of the thread? Not sure if this is possible or how to do it. So, if anyone does feel free. We need to keep adding to it . Good luck everyone!

That's a great idea. I think pwDebbie would need to edit her kick-off post.

I think so too! How are you doing Sandi? How's your daughter? Are you still doing Zumba? Questions, questions, questions.......haha

Sandi thank you for the help. I clicked on the plan manager page, but I do not have a settings tab. All I can see are the tracker, progress reports, find and explore, recipe builder, etc.

I thought I was pretty computer savvy, but the WW apps and website are difficult to use!

On the home page- click on Track Your Weight. Then in the top right where it says your current weight, there is a pencil next to it. Click on the pencil. You should see where it says your Weigh In Day, and there's an Edit button to the right of it. Hope this helps

What apps do people like for the iPhone? I found one that looks similar to points and its called "bites" and "bites plus".

I'm a little irritated....I used the WW scanner and it said my hummus and pretzel chips combo was 2 points and it was 7!!!

Wearing another pair of pants that have been in my closet hiding......yeah! Can't wait for this weekend to remove bigger clothes from my closet.

Missed swimming last night because I had a college parent night at dd's school. I will swim tonight though!

Dumb question....does anyone have a different "week" when points reset than their weigh in day? I weigh in on Fridays, but hate having my points bank start that day. I have a fear of using up my points and was thinking it would help if I started tracking my week on a Wednesday.

Yay! let us know how dr visit goes

I was down 53 pounds per their scales! And that was with eating lunch at a restaurant (crab dip w/crostini, garden salad, half a Chicken Chesapeake sandwich on ciabata roll) beforehand. My doc says she will continue to watch my bp and the meds may be lowered in the future, but since I'm finally in the 120/80 range with the med, she isn't ready to take me off of it. Fine with me as it is a diuretic and my ankles and calves still swell (as you could see in my pics). Then she gave me bad news -- her dh had a job relocation and they are moving so now I will have to pick a new doctor (well actually PA or NP) to see.

I put a link to your post in the first post. If you can update your post when someone shares pictures, that would work great.

I tried to just copy / paste your post but the links didn't work when I did that, so it was simpler to just link to your post. I hope you don't mind. If keeping that post updated is a problem, I'll go ahead and change the first post so that I can keep it updated.

I'm a little bit weary today and not thinking clearly -- pulled an all-nighter at the birthing center with a friend who delivered her 8 lb 14.9 oz Christmas week Disney souvenir this morning at 6:13 a.m. This was their fourth girl (no boys) and second Disney souvenir. The first souvenir turned 2 on Sept. 1.

My points reset on my weigh in day which is Thursdays, I think most everyone resets their WI day. I posted this a few post ago but I like pts plus diary, and nutriscore2go apps.

First thanks for linking photo post. Sounds like a great drs visit. I am in a similar situation my dr left her practice the end of July and and still looking for another. Good luck.
