[tbstein]

OK! Only 11 more pounds til 200! I am very excited! Haven't seen that number in oh--10 years!

Best to all!

Great losses everyone!

Tomorrow is my weigh-in day. I'm pretty worried that I didn't do so well this week. I feel too full right now... does that make sense?

Glad to hear someone else thinks in terms of just seeing 199 on the scale! I have lost 35 pounds and am now just 11 pounds away from seeing 199. GOOD LUCK!

I haven't been having good weigh-in days either and I think that this is because of a poor digestive system. Does anyone have tips on keeping things "regular"??? This has been a problem since I was a little kid, and my doctor said could have contributed to weight gain.

Also, Check out my poll on the WISH board about WW Online. I'm looking for some input on points... etc...

Congrats! Last week I was 219.4, so I'm looking for a minimum of 20 lbs. right now. My goal is December 31st. That's like 22 or 23 weeks. I really want to get there!

Just got back from WW. Down 2.6 lbs! I am so excited, but my girlfriends that go with me are mad at me. Oh well, sometimes they lose more than me and I get mad at them too!

Great job!! I just got back from WW. I lost 2.2 this week for a total of 4.8!!
I'm excited, but nervous because I have a hard time sticking with it!! But I just have to..........I want to be under 200 by December. I don't know if that is realistic......although I think it is I am going to be in a friends wedding in december and am going to Disney right after......so I have those events as motivation!!

Yeah! My WI day is tomorrow! Hope to see another decrease! I know it probably won't be 3 pounds again, but I would like to see at least 1!

Good luck to all!

Great losses!

Good luck Wendy! You can do it! As long as you're working the program you'll be OK. Anything in the right direction is a good loss.

I have the same goal. I want to be 199 by 12/31/06. Today I was 216.8 and I KNOW I can get to 199 as long as I keep doing what I've been doing... working the program and getting off my big butt!

This morning one of the WW crew at work and I went upstairs to physical therapy and tried out the exercise balls. We've both decided that we're buying one to have in the office. We're going to spend some time each day sitting on them at our desks. There are a bunch of exercises that we can do while on the phone, even just balancing on the things works the abdominals. My boss laughed and asked me if it wasn't a Worker's Comp risk, but I promised that I wouldn't blame him if I fell off and bumped my head.

 

[misslissa]

Do you ever watch The Office? It's a show on ... I don't know which channel. I find it hilarious 'cause I work in really mundane offices too.

Anyway, one episode featured one of these balls, a really geeky guy was sitting on it at his desk... and another guy came along and poked it with scissors. It was actually pretty funny... but I imagine you would have to have watched it.

I would love if my work would even let me bring one through the door.

So, my big issue is this... DF is out for the night and I feel lonely and go completely off track and eat a big dessert and a huge takeout appetiser. Why do I do this? Things are going so well! Geez! Why am I sabotaging myself???

 

[bettyann29]

Can I join?? I also want to be at 199.. this would be such a big point for me..

I am at a low today.. I desperately need the motivation to get started.. I am tired of being overweight and the worst part is the last 1 1/2 months my knees are just killing me.. Its horrible.. I feel so old.. I know its my weight.. I have never weighed this much before and I have got to lose some weight.. I have so much to look forward to.. I have 3 wonderful children, 2 great step children, a new grand baby, will be going to WDW in September, going on a cruise in October and getting married in April of next year..

I just needed to get this off my chest so that when I wake up tomorrow it will be a brand new day and I plan on starting it right with some fruit and a ride on the exercise bike.. I figure I need to make a daily plan to keep me on track..

Thanks for letting me vent..

Hi bettyann, of course you can join us!! We love new friends!!! When you said "I feel so old" it really struck a cord with me. I'm only 26 years old but with the extra weight I am carrying around I feel much older. I feel like I don't have the energy I should have for someone in her 20's and I know that it is the weight!! By the way, congrats on the new grandbaby!!! And welcome!!!

I know how you feel. I have started so many diets over the years. I'll be 40 in two months and last December I finally thought, if I don't do something, I'm going to have spent my entire adult like in a fat body. I deserve better than that. I tried to think, "what am I gaining by being fat?" "Why am I doing this to myself?"

I guess at the end of the day the key for me is, I deserve better and I KNOW that I do. Its something I have to continually remind myself of though. I've got little signs and slogans all over my house to remind me no matter what room I'm in. I'm in this fight for a reason and I'm not giving up.

I think we all have a tendency to sabotage ourselves. It falls into the 'why me' syndrome society has allowed to develop. I seem to do the same thing. Things go well, and I convince myself that it is just a 'reward' HA! I know better, but still, there I go!

It is hard not to beat yourself up afterward. Guess it is the vicious cycle we fall into while trying to be perfect!

Give yourself a pat on the back for doing great 90% of the time. And just accept the 10% that allows us to fulfill the 90%.

Best of luck!

Wendy

Bettyann! Sending good vibes to you!

I know I have been there. At one point I considered just giving up, with the hip pain, the stroke issue, the weight, etc. But I found the motivation and here I am, nearing my 45th birthday and in better health than in 10 years! I have gotten a new bone doctor, watched my deit, started a mild, but consistant exercise program, and here it is---7 months later, and 40 pounds have finally left all those spots that needed, and some that didn't!
My family has been amazing in encouraging me. As you have mentioned, a daily plan to get on track. And take it one day at a time!

Oh--yeah, venting does help! And here is a great spot, since many of us understand!

Good luck and great losses!

Wendy

 

[tbstein]

Yeah--one more pound lost! At 210 and now just over 10 pounds to be under 200! I hope to make it by Set 14th, my 45th birthday! I really believe I can!

Lots of pixie dust to all on losses this week!

Congrats Wendy! I'm about 7 lbs. behind you. My birthday is Sept 18th, but I really doubt I'll get to 199 by then, although what a present that would be. This is #40 for me. DH & I are going to WDW and Daytona Biketober fest the week of 10/15 though (with two other couples). I'd be over the moon if I was at goal by then. That's 12 weeks to lose 16.8 lbs. It'll be tough, but if I exercise (HA) I can get there...

 

[disneymom3]

bettyann-welcome! I have had struggles with knee pain for the last few years until this summer. I have been working out and drinking water. I have not even lost any weight, but my knees feel so much better. It is such a huge difference. I encourage you to at least start making sure you are drinking lots and lots of water. I really believe it helps.

misslissy--I do the same thing and I have not figured out why yet. The important thing though is to move on. A friend on the DIS just told me that I have to not let the times I mess up or make bad choices define who I am. Just get back on the horse and try it again. You too. You can do it--it's a journey, not a race.

I am doing well as far as the WW online goes. (I will go answer the poll next.)

Glad to see all of you who are getting so close to 199!! Makes me really excited for you. But ya all have to promise to stick with us and not leave when you make it before we do! We need all your input and support in this little group that has developed!
