I found out when I registered for ww online. My magic number is 18.

The number of points are dependent on your level of exercise, how much you weigh now, how much weight you plan to lose, etc.

If you need any maps or any help planning, I'm happy to help.


My kids like eating at Biergarten, Trails End, Whispering Canyon, and Sci Fi.

Thanks for the offer and info. I may need some help but I think I'm doing ok right now. We have ressies at RainForest Cafe in DTD for arrival night and ADRs for Donald's Breakfastaurus (wanted to meet Mickey and Donald first thing - its the last seating but thats ok we'll have brunch), Sci Fi (DS7 thinks this is so cool), lunch at CRT for DD4's 5th bday w/BBB (in the MK) before, and Ohana's breakfast (gotta meet Stitch). We're staying at OKW so I might make one for Olivia's - not sure if its all that busy there. Also ordered MNSSHP tickets today and we already have tickets for SeaWorld that I bought for our May trip. So we're pretty booked. I wanted to try to get CP for DD2but I don't want to be too scheduled...I guess I could schedule it and then if we're too tired I could cancel it. I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks.

natenapril: So sorry to hear about your cancelled trip but WOW 7 hrs from DL - theres your silver lining. DD4 is feeling better today...still a bad cough and runny nose but the fever is gone. Thanks!

I weighed in today and I'm up 1.5 lbs so I guess I didn't lose that 2 lbs but I did lose .50. My magic number.

Well time to get on that TM. Have a good night. Onward and downward!!!!

Hi everyone I just posted on the main wish board, but wanted to reply on this thread since I started WW online last week....first weigh in ...Friday! So far I'm liking it and it's keeping me on track much better than other things I've tried. I just wanted to do a quick hello so you know who I am before I go chiming in. I hope everyone is doing great!

 

[natenapril]

Welcome ChiTown!!! Jump on in!!

Welcome ChiTownZee!!!

Today I am all out of whack- I got a new scale because my old scale was weighing me 5 pounds too light. I always knew that but I am having a psychological problem with this new scale- it is like I just gained 5 pounds for no reason. Anway- I am glad I have an accurate scale and I need to not focus on the number so much as the progress- On the bright side- now I am over 150 so I can eat 22 points each day instead of 20! So if I was going to gain 5 'theoretical' pounds- at least they got me an extra snack per day!
Have a good day everyone!

Sorry, if these questions repeat much of this thread. It's pretty long and read only a few pages.
I am contemplating WW online. It seems that some here have tried it. Do you like it? Are you getting your support here? How long did you originally sign up for -- one month, three?
I asked this on the budget board, but have so far only had 1 reply: a very nice one suggesting I would get help over here
Amazon is offering 25% off Weight Watchers online. There is a spot to enter additional promotion code and price will update.
Anyone know of any promo codes I could stack on the 25% off?

I haven't been to WW in 2 or 3 years. I have been successful with WW at least 6 times, but maintenance is tough. I became a lifetime member after my first experience. I know it is a good program that works.

So, I started to wonder if I should just get out my old program since it has worked before and start on my own. Opinions?

Is there a group here that is using WW online or on their own. Since I didn't read the entire thread, I can't quite tell.

TIA to anyone who replies.

I originally set out to do the free trial offer they were advertising for New Year's. I lost 7 pounds during the free trial. That was incentive enough to stay on past the trial. I think it was then $39.99 the first month, now it's $16.95 per month. Since the free trial, the most I have lost in a week was 2 pounds. Usually I seem to remain the same or lose 1 pound. I've gone from a size 14 to a size 10 pants and a size 8 shirt. So I am very happy!

The group here on the dis has been both an inspiration and great support.

we are now being diverted to California!! So the good news is we will be 7 hours from Disneyland

We LOVED every minute we were in DisneyLand (hence the tag... ) I hope you enjoy your time in Ca.

I can completely relate to the stress eating. I too have been so out of control busy - and it's oh so hard not to eat on the run. Lots of planning (for someone who is trying to lose weight, I certainly obsess about food a lot! ) and LOTS of forgiving myself and moving on. At this point, I'm still maintaining - which is my goal until spring sports wind down and I can get back into a dinner time routine that is more reasonable for me.

<sigh> back to work...another busy day...

 

[natenapril]

AKASnowWhite, I was really disappointed at first but after checking out the Disneyland board here I am excited!


WendyisDarling, IMO(because I can be cheap) I would skip paying for the online since you know the program. You can get support here for free But like I said I am cheap

WendyisDArling!!!

Just checking in- I have been doing well with my eating- I must walk today- I haven't gotten out to walk since Sunday.
Have a great day everyone!

 

[natenapril]

DOing pretty good here too!! Staying within my points and walking in the evenings with my family. Last night we had a lot to do because my DH leaves this weekend for 6 weeks . Hopefully I can stay on top of eating right while he is gone. Sometimes it just easier to pick up something quick when I have been home all day with 3 kids

Onward and Downward ladies!

I can imagine everything is harder when your DH is gone. Keep up the good work- you can do it!

I weighed this morning for the first time.....5.5 lbs for my first 8 days! I went out to lunch yesterday with my cousin so we did applebees...I had the onion soup, which was good and the chicken and portobella sandwhich which was just ok....I'd rather have the talapia!

It's raining here - and I can't tell you how HAPPY that makes me The weather is supposed to be cruddy all day and into tomorrow. Why so happy??? NO SPORTS! Everything will be cancelled and we can have a good old fashioned DINNER AT HOME (and at a reasonable hour as well ) Who woulda thought a rainy day could bring so much joy....

 

[natenapril]

I was just thinking the same thing. DS7's soccer coach just called and said practice was cancelled due to rain, rain and more rain so I put on a sad face for DS and then a little hooray for me!!! My friend and I were just talking about our boys and their little league schedule...how busy they are and they're only 7 (almost 8). And thats just one child...I don't know how I'll do it when the other 2 get going. Split myself in three i guess, hahahaha!

Have a great dinner - we're having pizza delivered! I need to go to the grocery store but I hate going when its pouring outside...everything gets soaked!

Hope all is well w/everyone. Just wanted to let you know that our computer is going in the shop for a few days as its acting really weird and we keep getting all these popups about virus activities and spyware - I have no clue whats going on. So I won't be on for a few days. Good luck to all and I'll post when I can!

Onward and downward!

I just got back from a weekend away- it was a family emergency and I did terrible with my eating- McDonalds twice and a bunch of other bad, bad choices. I didn't have anytime to plan and prepare to eat right while I was away. Back in the saddle tomorrow.
