Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[CdnBuzzFan]

I was down 1 pound this morning! A WHOLE pound!

 

[pwdebbie]

Our 35th anniversary was Monday, my lunch at Red Lobster came to 27 points (I get 31 a day). Weigh in was Tuesday and I fully expected to not be down anything. Shocker, I was down 3 pounds!

This morning I go to the eTools page to enter my info and I get the message, "You are losing weight too fast. . . . Please slow your weigh loss. If you are unsure about how to slow your weight loss, please speak to a Weight Watchers consultant or your physician." Ummm, right. I know exactly how to slow my weight loss, duh! I wouldn't be going to WW if that was a problem I had!

Then I go to track my breakfast and I get a little pop up message. "Your daily points have been adjusted based on your recent weigh-in. Your new point total is 30."

Ok, they tell me to slow my weight loss, then they take away one daily point. Makes a lot of sense to me. Dh says to just keep eating the way I have and not worry about the single point.

Total loss since joining March 15 is 17.8 lbs. Only 100 or so more to go. That sounds so impossible. I'll be blessed if I have another 50 off over the next year for our 2013 Disney trip. Anything beyond that would be a double blessing.

eTools will tell you that you are losing too fast if you average over two pounds per week, it is just set up that way. I wouldn't worry about it right now, especially since you really are in the beginning of your journey. Just keep doing what you are doing. You are doing great!

I lost only .2 lbs....I know...I shouldn't say only .2 lbs that's a lost not a gain. After losing 2.2 lbs the week before I was disappointed. I'm now at a total of 39 lbs!

After talking to my leader I'm increasing my daily points from 26 to 29. I'm still walking one mile at lunch (5 days a week) and running 3.5 miles 4-5 days a week and walking 1.5mile after my weigh in on Wednesdays; I need the extra calories to burn the fat.

Keep the positive thoughts and be your best friend, you will feel better!

So I've decided to stop weight watchers... I was able to lose 13 pounds, which was all that I really needed to lose. I have been able to manage my weight and keep it stable for the last month and so I'm going to try this whole thing on my own.

Considering I lead tours and the humid summer is coming, plus I'm training for my first marathon, I see a few more pounds coming off, but I'm not too worried about it.

I have my WI today and I don't feel good about it. I feel 'heavy' today.

I thought I was was good this week but looking back I'm not so sure.

DBF was in Barbados so I was better able to plan dinners and exercise but I don't think it worked out too well.

My mistakes were:

1. hoarding points throughout the day and then end up NOT eating them (fell asleep on the couch twice) in the evening. I am under points every day but 2!
   
2. running three days in a row (I'm sore now so I'm probably retaining some water) I want to finish C25K before memorial day so I had to do back to backs this week. I'm back to every other day starting tomorrow.
   
3. upping my weights on the 30DS. My forearm muscles feel really strained. I didn't even attempt 30DS last night or this morning.
   
4. didn't eat any AP and only ate 19 WP (last thursday and friday)

I don't know why my eating habits changed with my DBF out of town. It's like I was afraid to eat too much during the day and ended up with too many at the end of the day. I really thought that being alone for the week (yes, I have a DD but she's NEVER home lol) I'd have a great week!

I'll use this week as a learning curve. I think I need to eat more.

I rarely use my AP and WP. Some days I don't use all of my daily points either. I'm still losing steadily, but I wonder if I would lose more if I ate more.

I'm the same way. I don't use my AP and will use only half of my WP. I will use all my 26 pts per day but I'm losing so slowly. The week that I lost 2.2 lbs was a week that I did use my AP and WP.

I think everyone's bodys are different and you may just need to see which works for you. I'm know I'm trying to do something different this week and I hope it works!

Well...good luck. I think you'll find most would agree that this is not a good idea. At least keep checking in here on a regular basis.

Because of my height and weight, I have a lot of points right now. It just seems like so many!

 

[wvjules]

Well it went better than expected. I lost 1.6. I'm at -16.6. I just took DD to the doctor so I'm not sure if I'm going for my meeting at 5:30 or if I'll just go on Saturday morning.

I learned what I needed to from weight watchers and I lost what I needed to. I was never going to be someone who would stay on the plan their entire life... especially since it ended up only being more frustrating and degrading when nothing was happening when I was following the plan for more than a month. It's not like I am going to go eat like crazy and stop working out... I've been an athlete all my life, I would never be able to fit into that lifestyle.

So considering it's been a week, I'm holding steady on my weight, working out a ton still, and feel less stressed about not worrying about points... actually, for me, it's a great idea.

Isn't it great to hear that you lost when you thought for sure you hadn't? Good job!

 

[nikkistevej]

Ok- I am at a 2.4 loss this week. Now I have lost 11.4 total. Is it weird I have more energy? I still weigh alot!! LOL I have been eating alot healthier, with the occasional "cheat".

Yeah mine too!! I have 36 right now, I can't eat all of them.
