Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[CdnBuzzFan]

CDNBuzzFan, I've had both and I much prefer the WW BBQ Popchips. (I have the cheddar popchips at 3pts though?)

As for being exposed to the whole bag? I count out the serving size and then put the bag away. It's actually a lot more than I thought it would be.

Today I tried the Aloha Almond bar. It was good but wow was it hard.

I tried them earlier this afternoon and I much prefer the WW BBQ popped chips as well. I just checked the nutrition facts label after reading your post and the ones I have are 2 pts. I did what you said, too. I measured out one serving (20g) and then measured out two more servings and put them in ziploc bags and put them in the package so they'll be ready to grab the next time I want them.

While I do prefer the WW chips over these, WW wants $10 a box and Walmart only wants $2.95 so I just may buy another box of these at some point.

Well ... I hit my goal on the nose. I gained 3 lbs over 2 weeks. I'm OK with that and I'll be working on shedding my WDW gain in the next couple weeks.

I have been MIA for a few weeks . . . just a lot going on with work, class, my step-daughter being here, church, etc. But, I am happy to report that I have lost 29.5 pounds now and have surpassed a 10% weight loss!! I set my next goal weight this morning, too - I think it makes it easier to set "mini-goals" than to think about the daunting number of pounds I still need to lose in order to get to my final goal weight.

For Easter, I made ham for DH and my step-daughter, but I had ham steak since it was much more point-friendly. Our sides were Sour Cream and Garlic Mashed Potatoes (4 points for 3/4 cup) and Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cheese (2 points per serving) - both WW recipes and DH and the kid loved both of them!!! I also made an angel food cake, using only a 20oz. can of light pie filling as the ingredients (I used cherry pie filling because that's what the store had). It was DELICIOUS!!! A serving (which is supposed to be 1/24 of the cake) is only 2 points . . . I cut it into 12 pieces, though, so 4 points.

Have another busy week coming up - we're leaving on the 21st to spend a week at a pet-friendly cabin in the Smoky Mountains. I see several long days at work in my future!!

Hoope everyone has had a great week!

Wow! Congrats to a lot of u on your progress! Didn't do my weigh in cause I've been sick w chest cold. Hope to have good results next week and get back to exercise.

I had lost 1.4 last Thursday, but went away for the weekend for a scrapbook thing. I didn't do great over the weekend, but wasn't that bad. I am on a mission now- need to lose 2.2 lbs to meet my 5% goal by Thursday. I really hope I do!! Any suggestions for weigh in day?? i have to go after work, so I will have eaten. Does too much water make you gain more?

What's for dinner everyone????

Drawing a blank on what to have and didn't thaw out anything......

Thanks!

I'm not sure what I am having tonight, but last night I had a DELICIOUS taco salad. It had a bunch of veggies, boneless skinless chicken breast, a tiny bit of low fat retried beans, a little reduced fat cheese, pico de gallo, salsa, and nonfat Greek yogurt. It was 7 points total and it was huge! You could cut out the meat or cheese to make it less.

We're having pasta with meatballs and homemade sauce. Cucumbers with our 2 tsps of oil and carrots which I will cook in with the pasta.

I baked 2 chocolate cakes today...

Anyone hit a plateau when they started an exercise program? 4 weeks, no change. Losing inches and toning since starting Jillian Michaels Body Revolution but no scale change.

I did it! I ran my first 5K this past Saturday. I ran 3.1 miles in 37.5? mins. It was the first time running outside. I was very happy because that's the same time I log in the gym. Looking forward to my WI tomorrow night.

End of fifth week and I'm down 14.8 lbs. Lost 4.0 (and reached 5%) this week which helps make up for the .6 increase last week. Dd that I attend meetings with (and who I swear I am going to take to WDW one day for a mother / daughter trip to give her a break from her four kids) lost 4.8. She thinks she'll reach 10% next week. She joined two weeks before me and was my incentive.

I'm doing the same thing... or well, was. I gained 3 pounds two weeks ago and now I've already dropped those three pounds and I'm dropping more. My body is getting toner and my stomach is getting flatter (thank god). One of my goals was to get a tone enough stomach where I could run in just shorts and a sports bra since it gets super hot out here in Florida.

Just remember, that muscle weighs more than fat. Not everything is about the scale number, but it's also about the mirror. How are you feeling about yourself? Are you liking the way you're looking? Etc...

I lost 2.2 lbs this week for a total lost of 38.8 lbs! I have 18.6 lbs to lose until I reach my goal weight.

My 5K on Saturday was great! It was my first time running outside and I logged the same time I did in the gym 37.5? mins. I was also 8th in my age group (45-49). I was so proud to see my husband and daughter there with me. I think they are now wanting to start training.

I'm now looking at a 5K on May 12th....I just want to keep going! Yesterday I ran for 3.5 miles so I'm not just stopping at 3.1 miles.

I feel so much better, keep the postive thoughts....you can do it, just don't give up!

That is fantastic, Stephanie! I really want to work up to a 5K in the future! You are an inspiration!
