Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

Weighed in last night and lost 6.2 pounds this week!! I worked hard and am training for the princess half so Im glad it paid off. I really needed to see a good number and I am pleased with 6.2!!

I'm all set to make this recipe for dinner tonight, however, there are no instructions on what to do with the sauce. Do I marinate the chicken in it, use it to baste the chicken while it's cooking or dip the chicken in it after it's on our plates? Or are there any other suggestions? Dinner is in 3 1/2 hours. Thanks for your help.

Jessie, I think I would either brush it on the chicken right before serving or dip it after it's plated. I think that will be tastier than basting or marinating the chicken in it. Because the recipe calls for you to mix up the sauce while the chicken is cooking, that would suggest that it would be served with the cooked chicken. Let us know how you like it. It sounds good.

Wow! That's terrific. You can't expect that every week, but it must have been a great encouragement for you. Isn't it great when hard work so clearly pays off!?!

You are so sweet. Those "up weeks" with no logical basis are hard to take. But it's the long term results that matter. My leader always has us look at a whole month or more to see what's "really" going on. And, darn her, she is usually right!

I forgot to answer your question earlier about watching carbs. Yes, I have been paying a lot more attention to my carb intake and I think it is making a difference. I did have two hamburger buns during the last week (when I was down 0.4) and I had pretty much cut out bread the week before when I lost 2.4. So, even with only a two week test, I believe the carb intake will make a difference, so I'm just going to be more aware.

I hope you have a fabulous vacation. Check in with us while you're gone if you can. And, as you consider a "bad" choice, think about you DISboards WW friends. (Of course, we'll all support you in whatever you choose, but the fact that you think about it is an NSV!)

Thanks Sandi, it is so great to know I can come on here and you all will be here for me no matter what my choices are. I will be eating out some our first week but making 90% all my meals the 2nd. I decided to leave my scale at home as a test to myself with portion sizes and see if I can "eye" it and not over do it. I am glad you found something that works for you with keeping your carbs in check.

I weighed in on Wednesday but didn't stay for my meeting. I made the transition from jeans to shorts and was down 1.0lb. I think I'll keep doing my official monthly WI wearing jeans but I'll do the rest of them in shorts.

Good for you Jess on the 1lb. You are a braver girl than I, I've never weighed in with jeans

WOW, that is awesome glad to see your efforts paid off. The only way I would lose 6 lbs in a week is if I got pregnant and 9 months later gave birth!!

On my way to Florida hoping to hit Hollywood Studios a little today. Yesterday was my baby's 5th grade graduation. I can't believe I will be leaving the elementary school forever . That school has been my life for the last 8 years. Have a wonderful weekend all check in with you later.

Stephanie,
Have a great time!

Up 2lbs this week. No reason so I am bummed. I almost cracked the other day & had a binge of cupcakes but I distracted myself & let it pass. Glad I did.

Sandi, I used it as a dip and it was very good. I find the sesame oil strong so I only used 1/2 a tablespoon. It had a very nice creamy texture and a wonderful peanut butter flavour. DS wouldn't eat it but he wont eat anything.

So, you weigh in wearing shorts in the winter???


I hope you made it to Florida OK. Congratulations (I think) on your son's graduation. I have 1 more year of elementary school left and I've been worrying about it since last year. Apparently, it's not cool to have your mother walk with you to school once you start middle school. I'm going to have a majorly hard time letting him go alone. It seems that it's also not cool to have your mother volunteer at your middle school either. I'm going to be completely gray from all my worrying by the time he starts 6th grade and I already dont have a lot of brown hair left!

Anyway, enjoy your time on vacation. I really hope that being able to make your own meals helps. Have a magical time!

I don't wear shorts all winter but I will wear capris or very light workout pants that are long but no jeans. My kids take the bus, I carpooled before this year and DH finally put his foot down and said they are old enought to take the bus. However, I would not really want them to walk to school by themselves either. I go get them at the bus stop everyday and walk them home and that is only 3 houses away.

On to disney report. We did make it to DHS. We did mostly star wars weekend stuff. Rode the new Star Tours, it's good the new graphics are amazing. However, I didn't have the reaction that it is the best ride ever.

Thanks, Sandi, I know you and a lot of people get the frustration. I was up .8 today. Not sure why but whatever, I am going on vacation as of this weekend. Anyway, you are an inspiration too and I can't wait to see some photos.

that's frustrating to be up with no good explanation, but I know you'll hang in there and let it pass. SOmetimes our bodies do weird things...the most important thing is to not give in and give up, because it will balance out eventually. Hope you have an awesome trip!!

Hi All...I am back on WW for the third time in about 8 years...had my week 2 weigh in tonight and I am down 2.8lbs. I am really liking the points plus program. I have read through the last few pages of this thread and it seems like a really supportive group..which is def something I need.

looking forward to talking to y'all!

dahly

Welcome and congrats on the loss!

My WI this morning went well...down 2.2 for the week and really happy! Especially since I had my first taste of Taco Bell since January...Mmmmm! The Rancho(?) Fresco Chicken Soft Tacos are only 4pts each...tasted SO good!

Here's to smart choices this weekend!

awesome!! I love Taco Bell

I weighed in on Wednesday but didn't stay for my meeting. I made the transition from jeans to shorts and was down 1.0lb. I think I'll keep doing my official monthly WI wearing jeans but I'll do the rest of them in shorts.

you are braver than me, weighing in in jeans!! I only did one time, the first night I joined. it was lightweight yoga pants or shorts from then on

Wow!! Awesome job!

as I posted above to Stephanie, sometimes our bodies just do weird things. Hang in there, keep working the program and it will balance out.



I just returned from my meeting and I am down 2 lbs this week
I started to get back to exercising; walked 3 times outside instead of the gym because the weather was beautiful here. My leg is a little sore from the increase in activity and I felt completely out of shape, but it felt good to be doing something again!

Well, I skipped church this morning to do the WW 5K walk. DS9 came with me. He ran most of the way and I was almost crawling for the last few steps! We did it in about 50 minutes and it was about 6670 steps. I think I did it too fast because I was pretty exhausted by the time I got home. At least I can say that I did it and have earned my 5K charm! I've been thinking that I'd like to do the Disney half marathon in 2013 and that this might be a good place to begin, however, I'm thinking now that this is the prefect place to quit!

Hope everyone is having great weekend.

 

[stitch1986]

Hello everyone! I joined WW (again) this past week & I will be going to the meetings. I was planning on doing it at home on my own but we'll see how the meetings go.

So far this week there have been 2 days that I have had 1-2 points left over from my daily points allowance. If we have points left over, can we add them to the 49 weekly points allowance that we are allowed to use? I know you are supposed to use all of your daily points but I was wondering on the rare (very rare ) occasion that I don't use them all, can they be used later in the week or is it use it or lose it?

Also, I would like to use etools or at least check it out. I can't find a code to sign up in any of the materials I received when I signed up at the WW center. How do I get the code? My next meeting is Wednesday but I was hoping to get onto etools to check it out prior to the meeting.

Thanks!

welcome!!! for the leftover daily points, you can not add them to your weekly points plus allowance. Use it or lose it, they do not roll over Same for the weekly points, use them within the week; no carrying over to the next week.

for the etools, did you sign up for the monthly pass or weekly? Monthly pass is $39.95 a month and includes etools. The receptionist would have given you a temporary monthly pass with a user name printed on it. That is what you use to log in to etools. If you only signed up for the weekly membership ($14 per week) it does not include etools.

If you did sign up for the monthly pass, and do not have your temporary monthly pass card, call the 800 number listed on your program materials and get a person to walk you through the login procedure.

Hope that helps!

Hey guys I've done really well the last few days. Tracking, active, and OP.

Let me just ask you guys something. Is it just me, or, are the people on the "official" WW message boards the snarkiest bunch of people you ever met? I hang out over on the WW website a little bit every day, but every time I post something on the boards over there, I get the most condesending answers. I just don't find those boards encouraging at all.

Thats why I hang over here with you guys!

yes!! I thought they were pretty snarky myself so I never go there anymore. Who needs that???? Hope the rest of your week goes well

Thank you!

I signed up for the weekly membership. I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue to attend meetings or go out on my own so that is why I went with the weekly membership. Can you use etools if you don't have a monthly pass?

you can sign up for online only, which is something like 3 months for $50ish(does not include meetings/weigh in's), then pay the $14 per week at the WW meeting. But if you are going to stick with meetings, the monthly pass is the better deal. Everyone is different, but personally I find the meetings key to succesful weight loss. I could never do it online only.
