Wanting to WISH and needing a buddy!!

[DisneyDoll10/28]

You are not the only one in the boat Danielle-I have stayed the same.......but for me it's more of a "whew", I did not gain anything! I did try to not "stuff" myself at the 2 BBQ's we had, which I think really helped........also, no alcohol at all......DH wondered who I was! I am in no way an alcoholic-I am a social drinker though, it really is the only time I will drink and after realizing how many calories were in one lousy bottle-not worth my time. Now comes the BIG issue-Wednesday am we leave for Branson. I am packing a lot of food since we are staying in a condo, and trying to be very cautious of what I pack, but I know we will be eating out and at the parks.......
BTW Danielle, if you go to the WW site and subscribe (free) to the weekly newsletters, you will get recipes sent to you in the newsletter every week....or if you want I can forward them to you (PM me your email). I also get the WW magazine which was about $10 to recieve that has reciepes.....if you know how to get the points, then you can really customize any recipe you have-it just takes some time! Let me know what I can help with, I am here

Well here is to us not gaining anything! I hear you with the alcohol though!! I only drink on Saturdays when we go out and let me tell you, its really hard to NOT drink.

Thanks for the offer to foward me things, thats sweet! I'll sign up for the newsletter since its free. I'm having a hard time remembering which fruits and veggies DO have points... any help there?

I walked with the dog when I got home for about 20 minutes but now that means its almost 8 and I haven't eaten anything for dinner. I guess its off to find something.

Thanks for the encouragement! I really needed it. Lets keep on loosing!!!

Hidy ho all! I'm in the same boat with ya'll so don't feel alone. I didn't lose any weight either. I've tightened the reins a little.

I'm a social drinker also. It is so hard not to order a drink when I go out to eat. Then I think about the calories and it being harder to lose weight after having the drink which stops me from ordering it.

I know I'm going to do better this week. Everyone keep a stiff upper lip. We can do this!

I'm here if anyone needs to talk or be motivated. Just let me know.

 

[DisneyDoll10/28]

Totally. I completely blew it with fast food tonight. UGH!! I swear though, by the time I think about dinner its 830!!! I'm sure things will be better once DH has a regular hours job. Then he'll be asking when dinner is and I won't get so side tracked.

HOWEVER, the upside to today is that my wonderful mom bought me a subscription to WW online!!!!! She is the best. So I am going to try and make a game plan off of that for grocery shopping this weekend. When I put in my height and age, it came back with a healthy weight of 113-135. Okay I was hoping to hit 150 and be healthy, now they are telling me what I thought was my goal weight is still 15lbs heavier than what I should be. Here's the thing... I'm a curvy girl. I've got a rear that some women would be jealous of. I know where my hip bones are and I LIKE THEM THERE!! 135 would be waay to thin, I think.... any comments? I want to be healthy, I want to be skinner.... I don't want to be Nicole Kidman. (unless i get the money and the hubby! )

Hang in there! Take it one day at a time. Trust me I have my moments too. Take baby steps at first. Make realistic goals that you know you can achieve. If you have a bad day, just pick yourself up dust yourself off & do better tomorrow. Don't dwell on it. Put it behind you & move on. I hope this helps.

Everyone keep up the good work!

Hi all!

Danielle - I thought I'd come over here and join the thread!

I'm Jenn and I haven't had my first weigh in yet - but have been doing this for almost 3 weeks. I didn't have access to a scale until last Thursday so I got my "starting weight" after 10 days. Now Sunday will be my W/I day weekly. And I'm a little irritated...I am getting mighty puffy this week and there are other signs that it's TOM so my first W/I might have monthly water retention...

Otherwise, I'm on WW online and loving it. It's still novel to me though, so here's hoping I can keep it going.

Nice to meet you all!

 

[sebfigmin]

How's everyone doing? I'm doing pretty good here. I went over a little on my calories and fat grams today but I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I'll just plan on making better choices tomorrow. I've done good working out. I worked out Monday, Wednesday & Today. I plan on working out tomorrow too. My official weigh-in day is Monday so I'm getting excited about that. I wish everyone the best of luck.

Keep up the great work!

You can do it!

 

[DisneyDoll10/28]

Hi guys!! Jenn welcome back to our happy thread!

Lisa, thanks for the motivation. It is really needed!!

Where are the rest of our girls??

The rest of this week I've blown off. There has been so much happening in my life that I couldn't keep to a regime of dieting. Not that I did emotional binge eating, it was just that things that normally don't happen, happened this week and threw me off completely!! Monday is my weigh in day and I will start fresh again. Since I am now a happy member of WWonline as well, I'm hoping that this will keep me more on track.


OT: I interviewed at the disney store today for part time work. I think that'd be fun!!

Have a great weekend everyone and I'll check in soon!!

Here is to a healthier, slimmer US!! WHOO HOO

DisneyDoll10/28,
Your welcome! I need to be motivated too. I also know that other people need to be motivated. I'm just trying to help out the others. Good luck on getting the job at the Disney Store.

I made better choices today so I am happier about today than yesterday. However, it has been a little crazy the past 2 days. I took my DM to the emergency room yesterday afternoon. They admitted her at 3:00 this morning. I went ahead & stayed the night since it was so late. Trying to make healthy choices at 10:30p.m. when a lot of places are closed, isn't easy. I'm going to put it behind me & try to do better.

Keep up the good work everyone!

You can do it!

 

[DisneyDoll10/28]

Lisa how is your DM doing? I'm sending prayers and hope your way. Try to make the best choices you can in this hard time.

Today was my weigh in day. I didn't expect to loose anything from last week since I veered off for the last part of the week due to empty fridge (well empty of healthy food) and empty wallet.

I went to the grocery store after work today and am all geared up to go. Even with the fact I had to do lunch at McDonalds because i was running SO late today, I still have 5 pts left for the day and I'm very full. So thats good. I'm exhausted today though so no exercise.

I'm having issues navigating the WW website. Its begining to be very frustrating.

OT: I did get the Disney Store job whoo hoo . AND Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix ROCKED!

Have a great week ladies, check in with us and let us know how you are doing!!

We are in this together and CAN DO IT!!!!!

 

[paper1225]

DisneyDoll10/28,

Thank you for the prayers & hope. Also, thank you for asking about my DM. She's still in the hospital. They confirmed today what is wrong with her. Thankfully, it isn't anything too major. Now, she's on the mend. She'll have to take it one step & one day at a time. I believe she'll bec discharged from the hospital tomorrow. This won't be soon enough for her. She wants to get home. I can't blame her. When she gets home, she'll just have to take it easy and take better care of herself.

Yesterday was my offiicial weigh-in day. I got on & off the scale 4 times just to confirm I lost the weight I did. After confirming it, I can report that I lost 9.1 lbs. in 1 week. I still cannot believe it.

I've been busy taking care of my DM this week what with her being in the hospital. We're going to do something together Saturday. We haven't decided what yet. Hope everyone is having a good week! Ya'll keep in touch. Don't be strangers! : - )

It sounds like everyone else is making progress too.

Keep up the good work!

Keep reaching for those goals!

You can do it!

CONGRATS about the weigh in, and you mom coming home-woohoo, two great things all at once!

Glad to hear that your DM is doing better! Thats wonderful news!!

And holy cow, what a weight loss! Thats an amazing accomplishement! So PROUD OF YOU!!!

I have to say that I'm starting to get discouraged at my very slooooow weight loss. I know that everyone's body is different but I think to myself if I'm destined to not loose it fast, then why bother at all?? Its silly thinking and definately de-motivating..... but I can't help it. Even my almost 60 year old aunt is loosing weight faster than me.... what am I doing wrong?

Today has been good. Other than my lunch... It just didn't taste very good but that was my own fault. I'm thawing chicken out right now for dinner. I'm trying my very best but I'm seeming to get no where.

I'll keep trying though. The only thing I'm about to loose is weight!

 

[sebfigmin]

Lisa,

CONGRATS about the weigh in, and you mom coming home-woohoo, two great things all at once!

Amy, Thank you! It is greatly appreciated. I was right. They discharged my DM today. She is now at her home taking easy which I'm very glad of. Thanks again!

DisneyDoll10/28, Thank you very much! As I mentioned earlier, she's at home which I am very thankful for and so is she.

Regarding my weight loss, I couldn't believe it. I got off & on the scale 4 times Monday just to be sure. I'm very proud of myself too.

Weight loss is normally very slow for me which is another reason why I couldn't believe my weight loss. I know how hard it is but be strong. You can do this. Take it one day at a time. As you mentioned, everyone is different. We all lose weight differently. You need to know and accept that. Just like there have been weeks where they have lost more weight than you, there will be weeks where you lose more weight than them. Are you keeping a food journal? Are you drinking 64 oz. of water a day? Are you exercising on a regular basis? If you aren't doing these things, they are very important in your weight loss journey. I hope this helps. Hang in there! You have support here if you need it!

 

[sebfigmin]

Alright, where is everyone? Hope you all are having a great weekend. Mine is going pretty good. I worked out yesterday & today. I've done good with the food too.

Everyone keep up the good work!

You can do it!

 

[slk537]

Hi all!!! Hope you're all having a grand weekend.

I was SO frustrated this morning - last week had a great 5 pound loss and today nothing. Total break even.

I have edema in my legs which fluctuates depending on my hormones - some days no water, some days more. Today, I do have it. I can feel the water in there and while it isn't as bad as it can be, it's there. So intellectually I KNOW that's why there was no loss and the loss will show up once the water weight is gone, but it is still frustrating.

I have 32 flex points left this week so my plan is to have a treat today, stay within my point range and drink more water this week.

Hope everything is going well with all of you!!

Jenn.

 

[DisneyDoll10/28]

Hi guys!

Weigh in tomorrow morning and I'm not too excited. I did pretty good this week but once again my weekends are my down fall. I swear I can plan all I want for the weekends but as soon as 6 hits Friday night, all my good efforts go down the drain.

I learned about a new bike trail near the house that you can walk on and bring dogs so I'm going to try that out... its super long so hopefully that will get my excercise juices flowing. I really need to start going to bed earlier so I can get up earlier and excercise. I really like the Pilates DVD I got and I definately felt it the next day when I did it last week.

We had been having my mother watch our new puppy while we were at work which meant that we usually met up at her house to pick him up. Which is great except that I swear my mothers house is a time sucker! I blink and its 8 and we haven't done anything bit sit and talk. We are no longer dropping him off there in the mornings (more because my stepfather is having an issue with the dogs housetraining problems than anything else) so hopefully I can just come home and be productive. Hopefully.

I truly don't know how you women out there with kids do it. Kudos.

Have a great week girls and I'll update tomorrow with my weigh in and hopefully good news!!!
