New to the WISH board

[Nancy]

Hi...I want to join in the fun. I joined WW last week and had my first weigh in today. I lost a whole 5 pounds!! I am so excited about it..even though I know it's just a lot of water. 5 lbs is 5 lbs.

I'll take the weight loss anyway I can!

Hi Nancy. Welcome to the WISH board!

Sounds like you're off to a good start! I'm sure you'll find a lot of familiar "faces" here, so you should feel right at home.

 

[Nancy]

Yep i do see some familiar faces here. How is everyone doing? (Other than getting nice and fit)

Welcome to our friendly little "neighborhood, Nancy." And, don't forget to pick up your W.I.S.H. clippy. Edited to add: I think you're gonna like this bunch of "losers."

Pat

232 days and counting . . . again!

Hi Nancy! Welcome, welcome! I am new to WISH too (I keep saying "new", but pretty soon I'll have a few weeks under my belt and will stop saying I am "new"). A 5 lb weight loss your first week is terrific! There are many others here that are doing WW too, so I am sure you will get all sorts of help from them, and from everyone else too. Yes, grab your little clippie art thingy. As you will note I am probably one of the only WISHer's without the little clippiee art thingy. The clippie art thingy is too much pressure for me, but I am promoting it and suggesting you get one anyway, otherwise nativetxn (Katholyn) will give you grief...I speak from experience...trust me. (Couldn't resist, Katholyn!). I am so glad you are here with us, Nancy!

Hi Nancy

We started WW at the same time. Man 5lbs. that is amazing, I only lost .8 but I'm hoping for better results week. I got you know what the day after the weigh in so I'm thinking that would account for 1 or 2 pounds (bad timing) Well I'm glad you are here and I'm glad I'm here

Alice

Ps. Any tips you pick up I would love to hear about.

 

[Nancy]

Thanks for the warm welcoms. So far i love WW. I have been able to eat almost everything I normally would with just a little modification. I did have to give up my MAJOR Pepsi habit though...I haven't had 1 Pepsi in 1 full week now.

When I get a few extra minutes I will add the clippie to my sig.

Welcome to WISH!

I am glad that you are enjoying WW. I really love the WW program and for me it is easy to live with since I don't have to really give anything up.

I know how hard the soda habit can be to give up. I myself was a pretty major Coke addict but I have had only 1 since starting WW. When I need a soda I have switched over to Diet Sprite or Diet Pepsi. Both are 0 points and so I can have them guilt-free and don't have to worry about using 3 pts. for a regular soda. I learned that I really need a "fizzy" drink every now and then.

Come visit us often to give and get support!

WOW A clippie your very first week- weigh to go! Please share any tips or challenges- we all like to read what's working- keep up the Pepsi deprivation- you'll feel alot better about it and eventually it'll taste way too sweet!
Great job!!

I just really stopped the Pepsi and no more take out lunches! I work in a grocery store so I'm buying my WW dinners or Lean Cuisine, adding a salad and FF dressing (that I bring from home) and I'm all set! Plus drinking HUGE amounts of water...I hardly ever drank water before!) My bad time is around 9-10 in the evening. I want to munch on chips and dip so bad...so I get my popcorn, measure out 3 cups and eat it very slowly!
