I'm down 2 lbs this week!! I'm SOOO happy - I counted points and saved all my flex for a party Saturday night and super bowl madness yesterday. but still weighing in on the day after that was a little scary! I got my first 5 lb sticker and as an adult I shouldn't have been quite so excited but I am!
Now onto that 7 layer mexican dip I told you all about
1/4 Cup - 2 points

1 c ff sour cream
2 Tbsp taco seasoning
9 oz ff bean dip (heaping cup)
3/4 c guacamole
1/4 c low fat cheese
4 med green onions chopped
1 small tomato chopped
6 olives chopped

Combine sour cream and taco seasoning
Spread beans on bottom of 12" dish
Layer other ingredients in order given.

I made one for the super bowl and one for saturday night and both got raves so it's highly suggested!

As an aside in my meeting tonight they had a new cookbook - Comfort Foods it had some yummy recipes in it. I didn't have my wallet with me so I'll definitely pick it up next week.

Keep up the great work everyone!! Have a great week!

Sorry to ramble.... I just had to get my confessions out! I hate feeling guilty like this. Hopefully I'll remember this feeling next time. I intended to get up and exercise today and be really good points wise. Well, I didn't exercise. I got busy doing other stuff and it started getting late and I was making excuses for myself...."it's that TOM and I feel blah", "it's so cold, I just want to take a hot shower and put warm pj's on". I am a mess!

You've confessed, and now you need to FORGIVE YOURSELF! Tomorrow is another day - a fresh start! Everyone has a day or two off now and then. When you get up tomorrow morning, make the choice to get back to work! You can do it

Considering the weekend you had I think you did pretty well so give yourself a pat on the back for doing your best. Did you do better than you would have a few months ago?? Then that's an accomplishment so be happy about that - drink lots of water and get moving that little indiscretion will be history before you know it.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

I'm back on track today. I made sure I exercised before I even allowed myself to get on the computer.

I did a quick weigh-in yesterday and was down 2 lbs. for 6 days. So today I get on the scales for my weekly check-in and now it is 1.5 lbs. Oh well, it will catch up soon.

So, 1.5 lbs. this week for a total of 9.5 lbs. in 4 weeks. I told my husband the other day as we went out to lunch (Applebee's where I can count points) that saying I lost 10 lbs. in one month sounds great, but knowing there are still another 113 to go sounds so overwhelming. So tonight I am going to sit down and break it up into smaller more manageable goals with dates also. I realized that at 10 lbs. a month, it will take me a year to get this weight off. That seems like such a long time. Oh well, I guess it's like having a baby (if you are an elephant).

Awesome job!!! You are doing GREAT! Steady weight loss is the healthiest way to lose. It may seem like it's going to take a long time to reach your goal - but...how long did it take to put ON that weight? More than one year I'm willing to bet. Be patient...it'll take time...but it is oh so worth it !!

Hello, WW newbie here. I started by doing the free online trial and lost 7 pounds that first week. I decided to continue!! 1 more pound, gone with this week's weigh in! Any points, tips, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing the flex plan, by the way.

 

[TenThousandVolts]

Welcome LoveThatTink!!!
I have had 2 terrible days. I didn't count points at all. I am back to counting points today and I weigh-in tomorrow. I just hope I didn't gain anything from my 2 bad days.
Sounds like everyone is losing- great job-
Nateandapril- don't worry, you will push past this platteau- just stick to it.
Good day everyone!!!

 

[natenapril]

Welcome Lovethattink!!

COgrats on the weight loss Disneyeveryyear!!! You are loosing and that great!

Keep up the good work ladies! I am working harder on journaling and getting those darn veggies in!

Today was an ok day until this evening! I worked out for about 1 1/2 hrs today and was felt great. Guess what? All that exercise made me so hungry! I did ok w/supper but I was still hungry. So I cooked chocolate chip cookies for my DS' lunch tomorrow (Yeah sure! ). So anyway I had 4 cookies and I blew my great day!

I get the urge to snack around 3 or 4 in the afternoon but it usually goes away. I think the exercise is increasing my appetite. Does anyone else have this problem? I hardly ever eat after supper but lately I've had a real problem w/this.

Tomorrow is another day! Onward and downward!

[lovethattink]

Thanks for the welcome!

Joanne, I thought maybe it was just me. I am eating better, excercising, have a ton more energy, and feeling hungrier than ever for sweets!

 

[natenapril]

I hit a tough spot in the afternoon too. I have been trying to stick with a 100 cal snack (100 cal oreas or pringles etc). You are doing really great with exercising!

I realized that at 10 lbs. a month, it will take me a year to get this weight off. That seems like such a long time. Oh well, I guess it's like having a baby (if you are an elephant).

This made me laugh.

Anyway, this was my first actual week starting WW and my weigh-in was today--down 4.4 lbs. I was kind of hoping for more since it is my first week, but considering that it was my TOM, I guess it's not too bad. I hardly used any of my flex points and some days didn't even reach my points for the day. Do you think that's a bad thing? I've did really well drinking all my water in the beginning, but it kind of tapered off. I'm trying to drink more. I want to make sure that I get some exercise in this week since I did absolutely none last week.

Marshmelo--I would have done way worse with that meal you cooked. Alice Springs Chicken....yum....Congrats on doing so well so far!

 

[TenThousandVolts]

Good job PrincessAurora- you are on your way.

Good news- Even after my EMBARRASSINGLY HORRIBLE eating on Monday and Tues I still lost 1 pound. I really thought I was going to gain so I am perfectly happy with 1 pound.

I am down 9 pounds total in 3 weeks.
I am going to stick to it this week 100% - no fooling around- Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

Yahoo! Nicely done.

I don't have my next weigh-in until Tuesday - but it's more than just a weigh-in. It's my complete body composition & measurements as well. My scale has been inching downward ever so slowly, so I'm hoping that I'll find that I'm adding muscle and creating a leaner body.... ...either way, I have to be oh-so-perfect for the next 4 days.

 

[Marshmelo]

Congratulations disneyeveryyear! That was so funny about the elephant
Welcome lovethattink! Good job with your loss so far!!
Yay TenThousandVolts! Good for you for getting back on track!
Great Job PrincessAurora!
Good Luck to natenapril and AKAsnowwhite Keep on keepin' on...we can all do this together!!

Well, I stayed the same this week, but I'm happy with that....as you all read about my tough week and slip ups. I have exercised the past three days, so I guess that probably helped. I hope to have a good week and reach my 10 lb loss next week!

Have a good week everyone!

 

[natenapril]

I think it is important to eat all of your points everyday. Your extra points are your choice.

. I hardly used any of my flex points and some days didn't even reach my points for the day. Do you think that's a bad thing? I've did really well drinking all my water in the beginning, but it kind of tapered off.

I agree - make sure you eat all your points. You need to keep healthy. As natenapril said the flex points are your choice. When I was enrolled in WW and went to the meetings - I was actually losing weight too quickly (yeah this sounds great but its not healthy at all) so the leader said to make sure I eat all the points per day and for my situation to use all my flex points. It slowed down my weight loss to a healthy pace.

Good luck. Onward and downward!

I blew it yesterday. We went to MGM for a few hours and ate at the Sci-Fi drive in. I ended up using most of my weekly points at one shot, ugh! Today, I'm going to have to be more self-disciplined! All the walking I did at MGM only counted for 1 point.

I will excercise and stay in my points today!

Do you live close by to DISNEY or are you on vacation?
I LOVE the Sci-Fi, especially the Rueben and the Onion Rings.
How do you calculate the walking to be 1 point? I always use 30 minutes of moderate exercise as 2 points but I think I may have made that up.
Anyway- You will do better today- nobody is perfect.
