We Could All Use a Little Help from our Friends...Come Join Us! :)

[HERSEY]

Good morning! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Yesterday I went a little off. We saw Harry Potter I had to have popcorn. I did have a salad for lunch and drank my water. So hopefully I still am on target.

I weighed in yesterday, down 2.5 pounds for the week.

I was hoping for more but I was pleased. I did not do that well over the weekend. Not terribly, I was not so strict though and I think I didn't lose as much as I could have.

Yesterday was much better.

Everyone is doing so well. Keep it up.

Congrats to both of you!

I didn't feel well enough to go to the gym yesterday, but I'm feeling better today so I have my bag packed and plan on working out tonight. I didn't have any trouble staying on track with my eating yesterday since my tummy felt so off, but now that I'm feeling better, I hope can do as well today.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning, I plan on doing good today. I just did 33 minutes on the treadmill and had coffee, a lite english muffin with a smear of peanut butter this moring and now I am having a glass of water and banana.

Tonight I am making meatloaf, mashed potatoes and corn. I am going to alter my meatloaf to be lower fat (using egg whites and oatmeal). The potatoes are the boxed kind so I'll see what that entails.

We are joining WW tonight.

Thanks again for all of the support. I really feel like this thread is motviating me...

How about you guys???

I'm too scared to start a weigh-in day... I know I should pick a day...but geezz....an offical weigh-in day terrifies me...does everyone have an offical day? Or do some people just judge by their clothes? Is that strange?

Here to meeting our goals!!!

I did set my weight in day for Fri but we are weighing in at WW tonight so I guess I'll change my day. Its just easier to keep track if you set a date...maybe you can do every 2 weeks. I guess weighing weekly keeps my honest!!!

Welcome to all our new posters! I am glad to see others following WW. I am trying to sell BF on doing it with me, but he wanted to wait until the weekend to hear about it. (Too much info processing, I guess, lol)

Did you get him to join?

I trying to follow WW since I think that is the easiest. I drank my water today yeh me. Drinking water is as much of a struggle and exercise with me.

I hate drinking water too. I tend to drink it fast to get it over with...

I lost 2 lbs and I didn't think I lost anything.

Hope everyone has a great day I'll try to check in later before my nose become one with my new book.

Yeah Janice!!!

It can be so discouraging to work so hard but wait so long to see the results. I worked a 12 hour shift today. Drove an hour there & an hour home. Came home & walked for 1/2 an hour & then did jumping jacks. I'm debating whether or not to do 20 minutes on the stepper before heading to bed. I just wonder, will it really matter? It seems that whether I work out for an hour or 1/2 an hour the results are the same. I'd just love to be one of those people who can lose 5 lbs in a week.

I know I'm late on this response but I think you did enough for the day...you need to relax too and you did exercise so be done!!!

Hello it's your happy plumpy Disneygal here.

I hope that it's ok for me to join! I am a lurker....but time to engage!
Beth

Welcome!!!

Those days of losing 5 pounds per week are definitely over for me. Between my age, underactive thyroid and being on a beta-blocker for high blood pressure, I have a really hard time losing weight.
On the positive side, I had a good weekend. I ate well and I was active, so I feel good. I am really going to try extra hard this week, so I can at least be close to my goal.

I don't think I can be a 5# loser anymore either. I am in the process of finding out what is wrong with my thyroid (I have an endocrinologist appt on Thurs).

Good morning! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Yesterday I went a little off. We saw Harry Potter I had to have popcorn. I did have a salad for lunch and drank my water. So hopefully I still am on target.

I can never pass up the popcorn!!!

wow 2.5 lbs in a week would be a dream to me! The only time i lost that much was the weigh in after disney..where i knew my regular eating would get that "mouse house" weight off....good job to you!

i have weigh in tonight, and as always, am nervous about it. i did MUCH MUCH better with the exercising this week but i was still over the amount of flex points by quite a few...so we'll see...have a great day everyone..drink your water!

Good Luck tonight! You HAD to remind me to drink my water, didn't ya? I better go get a glass!

 

[HERSEY]

I have to admit drinking all this water is certainly helping me stay honest. I'm to full of water to eat .

Today I had my cereal and coffee WW something or other frozen not to memoriable. baked chicken and a salad for dinner.

Thanks to all of you helping to keep me on track. Who ever said dieting is easy was either not telling the truth or working for one of those diet plans.

Good Morning All!

We joined WW!!!! We are both (DH Tom and I) pretty excited...hopefully half the excitement will stick!

I am off to a good start today. Just got off the treadmill, eating some light toast and drinking my water.

Have a great day all!

awesome! Good luck with it!!! It def. works, although i joined 10 weeks ago and have only lost/and kept off 3.8 lbs...granted i have been super social lately, and not exercising as much as i should..so i am sure that is why..WW worked for me before..and i will make it work again..i think you will really like it!
I am sad today about the lack of weight loss though, but i suppose i won't give up and just keep going.. making healthy choices along the way...

So far, this week I've been eating pretty well. I just need to exercise more. By the time I get home, cook, clean up and do some chores, I'm too lazy to exercise.

I work 3 blocks from my home, so I walk. I have been trying to make a habit out of walking 5 or 6 blocks out of the way before work so I get a little more exercise in.

This morning I decided to kick it up a notch, and even though I only had 10 minutes to get to work, I walked very, very fast for the full 10 minutes. I did arrive at work sweating, but so what. I cooled off soon enough.

I figure every little bit helps.

 

[TheBeadPirate]

Just a quick check in today. I've dropped 5 lbs since the last "official" weigh in. Let's see if I can keep it off for a week and I'll call it officially lost. That'll make 10 lbs down since I started on the Alli.

I've been watching fat/cal intake, drinking less soda, more crystal light. I need to work on the exercise- I'm just so wiped by the time I get home! I think I'm suffering from some anemia(I cut my red meat intake by prolly 75%) so I'm getting an iron supplement to go with my vitamin. I've got so many bruises now I look like a dalmatian!

Lauren- I finally remembered the fakey peanut butter stuff! It's Better'n Peanut Butter. www.betternpeanutbutter.com 2Tbsp serving has 100 cal, 2.5g fat. Dairy free, gluten free- no sat fat, no trans fat, no cholesterol, no preservatives. And only 2 WW points(per website).

Kinda weird when you first taste it but it reminds me of nutella only a little less chocolatey.

Good Morning All!

Our first day of WW went really great! Hopefully every day will be like that (well, mostly everyday! ).

I am getting ready to get on the treadmill.

Have a great day all!

Lori, thanks for the PB info. Gives me a great reason to visit New Hope, PA!!!

I totally fell of WW the last 2 days. I did great all day and then I pigged out on Ice Cream. Why I don't know! I haven't eaten ice cream in months even without the diet. The ice cream thats in the freezer has been there for at least a month and I never even looked at it! ARGHHH!

Doing better this morning. I had 1 egg, onion, slice of light cheese and some blueberries.

Forget about yesterday. Focus on today and JUST today. That's how I try to get through the rough patches.

 

[OKWAnneMarie]

Last night after dinner and a few chores I went out for a walk. I walked around my neighborhood very briskly for about 30 minutes. I am going to try to do this again tonight.

This morning, before work, I walked briskly for 15 minutes. I really do need to do other exercise also, but I'm happy that at least I am doing something.

Good luck to everyone today.

 

[HERSEY]

I did pretty good today for breakfast cereal with yogurt, lunch was WW fetticinni with brocolli, dinner grilled pork chop spinach and tomato salad and a little bit of noodles. I drank my water today too. If nothing else drinking this water is filling me up I don't want to snack.

Good Morning, Everyone!
