Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[pwdebbie]

So, I had my monthly weigh in today. I am exactly where I was four weeks ago, at 70.6 pounds lost. The last four weeks were really hard. I really got off track, but thankfully I was able to find my way back. Now to decide if I want to go a little bit lower than I am. I have three goals I really would like to hit. The first would be to get into the 120s (I am at 132.2 right now). Second goal would be to hit 75 pounds lost (which would be 127.8 pounds), and third would be to hit 125.

I just found and read some of your Journey thread. You are inspiring! I love your before and after pic. Congratulations to you!

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

I could really use some inspiration. Is there a link you could post? I'd love to read your journey.


*ETA* I found it and just started reading. I saw your before and after...WOW! Great job.

Thank you ladies for your kind words! It is a journey that I am very proud of!

JESSIE, where are you? Hope you're ok.

I'm here, Steph! and I'm fine. I've just been doing other things. We had a family over for dinner on Saturday and I spent a lot of time getting ready for them. DS asked why I was going to so much trouble when they would only be here for a couple of hours... I thought that was cute. This week on Good Friday, we're having my sister and her BF over for dinner (it's also my birthday that day but we dont have to talk about that! sad2 Just busy that's all. I actually havent even lurked for about three pages.

Anyway, the receptionist at my meeting performed an Easter miracle this morning -- instead of having gained about 5 pounds, I was actually down 0.7 . I happily accepted that! Good luck to you tomorrow at your meeting.

You have done so well, Jill! I'm glad you're back on track. For me, the maintenance part of the program is much, much more difficult than the weight loss part was. Good luck with your decision; I'm sure you'll be able to accomplish whatever you choose to do.

I'm down another .6 lbs for a total of 37.6 lbs!

I will take a lost of any kind over a gain. Slow going but it's so easy and I feel so much better. Less than two weeks before my 5K so I'm really sticking to it. No excesses, I'm going to the gym more and more! It's also so nice to see my daughter Amanda getting into healthy eating and going to Zumba classes...she's also the captain of her office Biggest Loser team. It's fun to share ideas and recipes.

Keep the positive thoughts and throw out the negative ways of life...you will feel so much better!

I forgot to post my weigh-in this week. Had to switch my day from Thursday to Tuesday (at least for soccer season) so only had five days between weigh-ins. This was the end of week three for me. Down 3 lbs for a total loss of 11.4 lbs. My clothes don't feel any different but I was able to put on a pair of zipper jeans (instead of elastic waist) so I guess something good is happening.

Wow girl, you have been keeping busy. BTW, love the new picture of you. Congrats on your loss this week. also, a day early, you look great so don't stress about it. But I know what you mean, I celebrated mine a few weeks ago . I must say the year of the "40th" was actually a pretty good year but it's over so movin on .

Great job Stephanie! . I was thinking about you the other day with your 5k coming up. You'll do great, and that is awesome you have your daughter to share this journey with you. Keep up the good work both of you .

I have had a very bad week!

I did something to my neck (a kink in it) and haven't exercised other than doing JM on Tuesday morning. I haven't even ran.

Tuesday night we met up with my cousin in DC and I had a fajita platter and a skinny margaritta. Today I really broke down and had McDonald's (and not a salad either!) for lunch.

Next week, I'm going carb-free M-F to try to undo some of the damage tomorrow's ballgame, dinner out, and Easter will do. I will be happy not to have gained tomorrow. I'm chalking this week up to a learning experience (lol) and am starting fresh on Monday. No point in starting fresh before then. I don't mean I'm going to not follow the program or count points the rest of the week. I'm just not expecting much from this week.

we all have weeks like that, hang in there just stay focused and you will pull through this bump. .

Last week I had gained 1.6 while eating just about half my weekly allowance. Now that's a hard one to work through!

Decided to use all my daily points on "real" foods, then if I wanted dessert to go into my Weekly. I only did Pilates once this week (vs 3 times last week), which I felt bad about. I ate way more many of my Weeklies than I had been eating.

But today...3 pounds down! So I'm at 14 lbs total.

Just another 70 to go. But hey, at least I'm not still going UP!

Happy Easter, Everyone!

Hello everyone! I am new to this thread. This is my third try on Weight Watchers. It is the only thing that has ever worked for me, but I was never in the right mindset before to stay with it. This time, I have so much more determination and a positive attitude. I really believe I will stay with it this time! I am looking forward to following along here with y'all!

Yay!

This is my 4th time through, and I've always given up before I get anywhere near goal. But the Points Plus program is so cool, I REALLY like it. I can see success in my future, and it sounds like you do too! Yay!

Thank you! I'm so looking forward to doing this. I just started running in January, it's so new to me I don't know what to expect.

Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Ugh! Up 2 lbs here since Sat. a.m Have to get rid of that by tomorrow night for the WW weigh in. And yet I stayed within my points for the most part, only went into the 49 WP on Sunday at a restaurant and that was just a few points. Dh got a warning from his doc that his cholesterol was creeping up, so he cut out ice cream and TastyKlairs last week. Lost 9 lbs. Why why why?
