Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[Worfiedoodles]

Down 3.6 at this morning's weigh-in, so the 3 lbs from last week are gone, plus more! Down a total of 17.4, a new low for me. I have to weigh in Wednesday night next week (travelling after that), so hopefully I will manage a loss by then. I have a lot of incentive to get through this weekend without going crazy!

Oh! In my meeting someone brought FiberOne brownies. They are just 2 pts+ each, and look really good!

WTG! Awesome wi

I have one cup of coffee, every morning, I don't use sugar in hot coffee but iced coffee I do. 1 Tbsp is only 1 point, and 2 tbsp of half and half is 1 point, so if that is enough for you one good cup of coffee is only 2 points. I usually eat fruit for breakfast, so my early morning points are only 2. If I am feeling really hungry I will have a fiber bar which is 3 points, so its not so crazy. Hope this helps.

Yes thanks! I have tried coffee with just fat free half & half for 3 days now & yuck! DH says I will get used to it but I don't think so.


We are going for Mexican tonight. Yum....I have my points saved & can't wait.


Congrats to all the losers this week! Great job!!!

I don't like fat free half and half either. I just measure out what I need, it really is amazing how much I used to use before WW. I don't miss the extra at all anymore.

So the fundraiser last night was a DISASTER!!

Open Bar, stations of chinese food all mixed and tossed in sauce, premixed salad in dressing, a pasta bar, a sliders bar and a mashed potato bar...not a plain piece of chicken or anything not drenched in sauce in sight...Luckily I had a late breakfast and a midafternoon snack had 21 points going into dinner and I had not dipped into my weeklies at all - I couldn't even begin to determine how many points I had - but I am sure it was below 70!!

This morning I feel yucky - I didn't overindulge but it was just more junk than my body has grown accustomed too!! I also am glad that I don't feel it was worth the price I am probably going to pay on the scale tomorrow - which I guess is a victory!

I'm soo excited and I have to share this with people who will understand. At my co-workers urging (LOL I think they were sick of my pants falling down), I finally went pants shopping today and was down a size!!! I was dancing in the changing room!!

Woo Hoo - isn't it a great feeling to buy a new size - I have been "Shopping" in my closet, but have bought a few new shirts!

Had my WI today - was down 2.0! QUOTE]

Congrats

Sounds like a tough night - I indulged too much last week and on Friday I kept telling my DH I felt like a pufferfish Keep drinking the water and you will better soon!

 

[dthogue]

Yup! It was Wednesday. Pizza and Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing. I didn't really like my cake but from the amount that I ate of it, you would have trouble believing that I didn't like it!

Thanks for remembering!

Happy Belated Birthday - I LOVE red velvet cake and red velvet whoopie pies even more!!

Happy Sunday Afternoon,

It is quiet in here this weekend - hope everyone is having nice Spring weather and is busy outside.

DD and I ran our third 5k yesterday - she did really well and me well I fininshed, but I was hoping to improve my time, but I stayed the same as the last one. Although this course had a few hills, but I am proud of myself for fininshing it.

I had a great OP day yesterday and so far today is going well. I don't weigh in til Tuesday this week, so I'm hoping for a good result.

My DD is singing the National Anthem at a local AHL Hockey game tonight with her school choir, so we are off to that - I have my snacks packed and will have dinner when we get home - no good choices for me at the game

Have a great night!

Congrats on your 3rd 5K!!

We went to a Lake Erie Monsters game last night (we are huge hockey fans) and I had the best intentions on being good but ended up eating almost half of my DD's hot pretzel. Who is your local team? Hope your DD has a wonderful time!

 

[mrzrich]

Just had breakfast for dinner. Yummy! When DH woke this AM he said he wanted Pancakes, bacon and eggs. I hate spending those kind of points on breakfast, so we decided to have it for dinner. I know that mathematically I COULD have had it for breakfast and chose a light dinner. But I know myself, I would have been picking all night. Doing it this way I am STUFFED!

Hershey Bears - I ended up having 2 chciken strips, french fries and part of a pretzel The choir sang the National Anthem beautifully - I was one proud mamma!

I agree with your logic - I would never spend points like that on breakfast, no matter what it was, but I would eat that same thing for dinner - funny how our mind works If I have a light dinner (I usually allow 10 points for dinner), I would still be hungry afterwards.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. My weekend was pretty uneventful however, I have a VERY busy week ahead of me . I hope everyone has a great week.

 

[DVCBELLE]

Happy Monday..weighed in this morning only down .2 but since I had a bad night on Saturday I am happy I didn't gain...here's hoping it will look better next week!!!

Hi all, I'm back from our wonderful WDW trip. We got back yesterday afternoon and I was too bushed to check in with you all. Looks like I missed a lot of action here! I think when I left we were at about page 3 or 4 and now I'm posting on page 16. I skipped around some to catch up a bit. Welcome to new folks and it's great to see the thread regulars offering such great advice and help.

Our trip was great. We stayed 4 nights at Pop Century and then switched over to Fort Wilderness for the last 5 nights. We've stayed at Pop several times and it was great (as usual). The Fort Wilderness Cabin was a new experience and it was fine, but we probably won't be staying there again. The grounds are beautiful and it reminded me of camping as a kid, but I missed the convenience of a real CS restaurant and it didn't feel Disney enough for me and DD16.

I didn't track for the whole time we were gone, but I made some pretty healthy choices over all. Also, I NEVER cleaned my plate. We had some terrific dining experiences and I have been cured of the "you must eat it all or you don't get your money's worth" curse. Our special meals were at Narcoossee's, Whispering Canyon, Teppan Edo, Sci-Fi Dine In, Crystal Palace, Sanaa, and Hoop Dee Doo Revue. For CS meals, DD16 and I would typically split a meal and we'd be perfectly satisfied and happy. I did find a new favorite treat, however, and that is the coconut frozen bar at the new Mexico CS restaurant. I'm so glad we didn't discover it until the end of our trip. I have no idea how many calories are in those ice-pops, but I know it's not good. They were yummy and beat Dole-whips by a mile.

I was able to run once at Pop and twice at FW. Both resorts have wonderful running paths. I especially liked running at FW -- lovely sidewalks through wooded areas to the lake with lots of wildlife (deer, squirrels, etc.).

I'm waiting for my official WI on Wednesday to know "the truth" about how I did. I feel like I may have had a modest gain, but it will be okay because I definitely went beyond the points allotted.

Here's looking at a good week for all of us!

Happy Monday everyone! I had a busy, food-filled weekend and I am ready to give 100% for the rest of the week. I tracked everything, but I don't have a lot of extra points left. I guess I'll just have to exercise to get more .

I have had a lot of menopausal symptoms in the last month so I have had to add a cup of soy milk to my day, so that's a loss of 21 points per week that I would rather use for something that actually tasted good. I just blended a 1/2 of mixed berries with it so it was better ... time to go and buy some interesting frozen fruits.

Welcome Home Sandi - sounds like you had a great trip with lots of great meals. We are staying at Pop in August - glad to hear there's a place to run!

 

[NC State]

Sounds like everyone is doing good. I had my WI this past Wednesday and got very busy and couldn't post. I had lost another .8 which brings me to 9.8 lbs in five weeks. I know I didn't do good this weekend. We plan for a big event that was three days of fair food...I tried really hard but I gave in a few times. We'll see how bad on Wednesday night.

Welcome back, Sandi! Sounds like you had a wonderful trip and made good choices. No Butter Finger cupcake I presume?!

My weekend -- Sunday in particular -- was filled with chocolate and fresh baked homemade bread.

 

[Fall1]

DH is away on his first business trip ever and I am so tempted to eat. I know it's totally emotional, but I want sugar. I'm doing ok so far, I'm just afraid I'm going to lose it!

I'm supposed to WI tonight, but I'll have to go tomorrow instead.
