Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

My WI is Wednesday night....we had those torandos in the area so we have been without power as of Saturday at 3:00pm until today (Tuesday) at lunch. That meant that I have eaten every meal out! I really don't know if I can take a WI this week.

Thank goodness, you are all right. I have been so worried about you. I wasn't sure how hard your area was hit. Holly Springs was hit pretty hard. Honestly, the fact that I go and weigh in when I know it's been a bad week is such a huge step for me. You should go even if you take a "pass" at the scale. Again, glad you are ok.

We had one to hit within a mile of the house. We were very lucky our road is still blocked. Many in our area have no homes.

We don't get many tornadoes where I am. I just can't imagine being that close to one. You were very lucky.

I'm back from my meeting and I'm down 4.5. That's the best loss I've had in a very long time. That certainly makes up for my 3.3 gain last week. We were talking about fruit servings today and from what she was describing, I think I eat way too much. I've probably already had 5 or 6 servings and it's not even lunch time yet!

I was thinking about going skating today but it's raining and cold here and I've been freezing all morning. Maybe I'll just stay home and baking something. That will make my kitchen nice and warm.

Holy Cow that is awesome . I can't believe you can lose all that and not exercise. I am so jealous, but in a good way, cause I am happy for you. Keep it up

Oh my - how scary for you - glad that you are ok!

Congrats on the loss - I know that I really need to watch my fruit servings too - I try to limit it to 3-4 a day - where I get in trouble is when I start eating the grapes, and things that I cut up and put in a bowl like cantaloupe, melon and such.

Great loss Jessie. I think I found your loss in my gain -- up 3.6. That completely erased my WDW trip loss and then some. Grrr. But, I know I didn't track honestly this past week, so I started fresh today. In fact, I was a total loser and begged for a tracking buddy at my meeting today. A very nice lady stayed after to offer to be my buddy for next week. I bought a 3 month tracker and, knowing that Pam will see my tracker next week, I'm hopeful that will be the motivation I need to get this done. I track on-line, but the wheels fall off at night. With the booklet tracker, I will have it available all the time.

Hopefully the other Wednesday WI people will mirror Jessie and not me! Good luck all.

So, the termite guy is coming today so pleeeeease everyone keep your fingers crossed for me that it isn't anything major. This could be a huge budget buster and I am selfish and don't want to give up my next vacation .

I know! It just doesn't seem right, does it.

So, yes we have a few of those little buggers . Our house is fine however, they are in the outside of the garage door frame. The guy was like what we have is typical for NC and no big deal. Well, it's a big deal to me just having one!!! Anyway, he says there is no "4 alarm" fire to treat yesterday. He quoted us $900. He is a local guy not one of these chain businesses. My neighbor uses him. Dh knows someone at work that just had their house checked so we will probably get another estimate from them. We will have to replace the molding around the frame of the garage too. No real visible damage but they are behind there. So, although not a vacation budget buster not happy about having to spend the money. But I want these things gone!!!

Enjoy it

Last night I posted that I had eaten out every meal since Saturday afternoon because we had no power. I was thinking of taking a pass but then I really wanted to see how I did. I took my Dining Out book for each meal. I'm so glad I did, I lost 1.8 lbs this week...that makes 14 lbs in 7 weeks. I'm so glad I stayed postive and kept telling myself to stay on program. I hope everyone has a good WI this week....stay postive!

See, great job

Ok just made a pie I normally make for holidays and I wanted to try to make it WW friendly. We all know those "dirt" pies with Oreos and pudding... It's my family's fave no bake dessert. It ended up only being 7.75 points for an 8th of the pie (Which is pretty big after I sliced it up)

Big box of sugar free chocolate jello pudding- 5pts
2 & 1/2 cups skim milk (for the pudding)-5pts
1 chocolate ready crust-22pts
1 & 1/4 cup of cool whip- 12pts (could use the sugar free or fat free versions for even less points)
12 Oreos crushed- 18pts (no getting around that, but I think they have a sugar free version in my grocery store)

Prepare the pudding using the pie filling directions and set in the fridge to chill for 5-10 minutes. Put the cookies in a ziplock and crush. In a bowl mix the cooled pudding with the softened cool whip. Once combined fold in the cookies. Pour mixture into the ready crust and chill in the fridge for an hour and then it should be firm enough to cut into slices. an 1/8th of the pie is 7.75pts and even my mother who hates all things sugar free and diet inhaled the pie lol!

Enjoy!

Congratulations!!!!

I find that if I eat too much fruit I do not lose as much weekly. Maybe I am carb sensitive or something but too much fruit for me equals little or no loss.

That is great that you were able to make good choices while dining out.
