WI day check-in...down 1.2 lbs (or 6 sticks of butter )

School vacation is next week...I'll be checking in here for motivation. I don't do well when I'm home all day. Thanks for all the great ideas and support here!

What about doing some "staycation" stuff in your area so you're not home all day? Not sure if your sons are up to it, but maybe visiting a zoo or some museums or something else would help while you're out of school. I know a lot of us have trouble on the weekends because we're home and around food all the time. I do better if I remove myself.

Congrats on your 6 sticks of butter! That is great.

That's the spirit!

Ok, I'm a little freaked out. There is someone over on the WW boards who has taken my "I Love Jake Ryan" Avatar from this board, and is using it as their Avatar over there. I made that Avatar myself, and have been using it here on the Disboards for years.

It kinda makes me want to change my avatar, but people here know my posts by it. What would you do?

 

[DVCBELLE]

Do you know her?

You should definitely be flattered BUT I don't know how I feel about someone taking an avatar without asking!! You could make a new Jake Ryan avatar!

Morning Friends,

TGIF - I am so ready for the weekend. My DD and I are going with her school choir (and about 200 other people) on a bus trip to NYC tomorrow to see the Broadway show "The Admas Family" Sounds like a fun day, but they are calling for rain, so it will be wet.

I can't decide what to do about eating though - we are taking breakfast with us on the bus, then have free time for lunch and dinner is italian, chicken parm and pasta, salad and tiramisu for dessert - not to healthy. I'm taking along snacks, but hoping I can salvage the day and not blow my great week!

Sounds like everyone is doing well - congrats to all the losers this week - unfortunately I wasn't one of them - but I am back on track!

Have a GREAT day!

Congrats!!

My kids had there break the last week of March. We stayed home but kept busy. I did the Wii Fit with my kids a few times which was fun to have them all together being silly. We spent a day at the mall & made healthy choices at the food court (While my kids ate McDonalds) We took a day trip to another city. We also baked fat free muffins & made crock pot chicken. Anything to keep your focus. Losing weight is all in our heads so we can't lose focus. Good luck & have fun.

I was a bit nervous with WI yesterday since on Wed. I went to Chick Fil A for dinner. I really shouldn't have ordered a banana pudding milkshake but told myself I would have a sip or two and then give it to my son to finish. Well....he didn't want it and I couldn't let it go to waste! Luckily DH helped me out a little bit but I'm sure I had at least half of it. Anyway, WI yesterday I am down 1.6! I'm so happy I can occasionally have my shake and drink it too!

I ate so awful yesterday and it was the first day that I didn't track at all! Bummer!! Back on the wagon today!

Omg, get out! I can't believe that someone would use something that was so specific to a person. I love looking for your Jake Ryan avatar and your Modern family with reference to Costco, love all of these things and it is unique to you like you said. Can you slightly alter your I love Jake Ryan avatar, although you shouldn't have to. Maybe if the person sees you have done this they will get a clue that at least they should have PM'd you to ask if it was ok.

Good luck with your college visit -- both food-wise and college-wise. Remember what you've learned and stay focused!

I am thrilled and proud to report my WI this morning put me at 25 pounds total lost!! Yes, I'm crowing, because I worked hard for it. We all are! I still have some to go before I hit my ultimate goal, but no matter...I've been on a cloud all day.

...and I'm going shopping for a few new duds this weekend. At first, my old ones looked ok, but now they just look awful. New "25" jeans, here I come!

Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!!

Great job everyone! Keep on keeping on

I was down .6 today, which I'm more than happy with, but my big news to share was the my leader asked me to speak with our group about how the theme of the week - making "me" time - is what drove me to WW in the first place. I was shocked that she wanted me to share, and then that there were so many members nodding and agreeing with what I was saying. It was truly amazing, and I just love what the program has done for me. So awesome!

Hi everyone
Just wanted to share my news...I was running yesterday and got hIt by a car. I am very lucky I broke my wrist and nothing moRe serious. Very sore of course but luCky. So no work for a while and certainly no running. Thanks for listening

 

[karliebug]

I had to skip WI this week becasue of an issue with my 16 yr. old. She is battling depression and is having a really bad time lately. Anyway, my home scale says a loss of 2 pounds so I am going with that. I am trying to get medication for my DD but family dr. says they won't prescribe them for kids and the wait to see a psychiatrist is weeks away. I may take her to the ER and see if a dr. there will prescribe for her. I did take her for counseling and the psychologist says she definitely needs it . A little prayer and pixie dust sent this way would be appreciated.

Hang in there, that can not be an easy situation. I really hope the best for you and your daughter and she gets the help she needs.

OMG I'm so glad it wasn't worse! That is my biggest fear about running. Sending you hugs and good vibes for a quick recovery.
