Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[Disneycrazedmomof2]

Good morning! Weighed in & I am down 3lbs this week! So happy since I lost .5lb last week. I seem to do that, a small loss one week & a larger one the next week. I still have far to go though. Hoping to be "photo ready" (where I don't hate looking at a picture of myself) by August when we go to WDW.

Good luck all!

By the way, my DH wants to take me out for Mother's Day. I really want to go somewhere I can stay OP. What are you all doing? Any suggestions? (no seafood) Thanks!


Disneycrazedmomof2,
Welcome & congrats on 40lbs so far!!!!

Congrats on your 3 lbs! I have had that same experience with the new PointsPlus. I seemed to be pretty consistent when I was a WW memeber with the old points. I will have a small gain, or small loss, then a BIG loss all at once. Someone at my meeting told me it had something to do with how much protien you eat that week. Lots of protein is apparetnly essential for good health... and weight loss. So, I try to add some every time I eat, but we all know how that goes sometimes. Keep up the good work!

ok, Jess, so you won't be by yourself

Before WW with shorter hair I would say this was 4 months before I joined.

This is during ww taken March of 2011. Me and DH at the CR at Disney.

I know isn't it a great craft room.....NOT I have a friend that owns a scrapbook store and I help out now and then, teach some classes. I do have a craft room but mine is a mess right now. It's our bonus room and I have a corner and kids have the rest. I've been trying to kick my husband out of his office but he won't give it up.

Oh, and thank you very much for the compliment. As I was posting the 2nd picture I was like ooh, can I see bones, .

Beautiful!!!!!! Great job!!

I am not as "after" as I would like so I would be happy to post a picture when you can see the results as well as you ladies did.

Hey, it's the dining room table for me!

I know what you're saying about the bones. I was a little uncomfortable with the bones around my neck and shoulders showing at first but then I realized its sort of like getting a sticker in the meeting. It's a bonus for all the hard work I did!

Excellent! You look great. So glad you posted your pictures. I cant recall how much you've lost.

I love that we've all posted Disney pictures!

 

[robinb]

Wow! Your DD looks JUST like your 'after' picture.

Mine use to be my dining room table until, I decided to take over our playroom. It's huge and with no more barbie houses and train sets there is plenty of room for me. I like the boney badge of honor thing too.

Wow! Your DD looks JUST like your 'after' picture.

. Everyone says that about Sarah. However, she has my husbands long arms and legs.

I am down .4 lbs today. I would normally be pretty happy with that, but I tracked every single point that went into my mouth (OK, I didn't track some 0 point foods) AND I worked my butt off earning 28 activity points and I left 10 of those untouched. The .4 seems so ... paltry. Especially when I gained 2 lbs (total) the last two weeks.

Maybe your C25K training hasn't caught up with you yet. I forget what week you are on like 4-5? You said you are eating most your activity pts. so hang in there girl, it is very frustrating when you bust your butt and you don't get the results you want.

Hey Robin, hang in there! I'm with Stephanie and I think it's going to catch up with you really soon. I've been there (heck, I am there!), so I totally understand. I think, however, it's sort of like getting an "A" instead of an "A+" -- so you're still a total Rock Star to lose the equivalent of a medium to large apple (okay, give me some slack -- I was looking for something different than the sticks of butter, and Google gave me an apple).

Right on Sandi, love it!!! And it fits right in with the A, A+, apple.

Good morning, Hope everyone has a Happy Mother's Day.... & we all stay OP!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Yes, Good Morning Everyone! Hope you all have a happy Mother's Day. DS gave me my gift from school yesterday because he insisted that it needed to be watered and cared for right away and couldn't wait until Sunday morning.

I went to Sears yesterday afternoon for a bra fitting. Everything seems to be back where they should be for now!

Hi Ladies. I have been reading through your thread today and you guys are really inspiring!!

I am thinking hard on joining WW (again) on Monday. I have joined and quit several times and may have even posted on one of these WW threads before. I just have a hard time getting myself started on the program and end up quitting. I am determined to make this time different. I have to.

I am almost at 100 lbs overweight and am starting to see some health problems coming my way. That is something I have never had to think about before. I was overweight but healthy now I am seeing some joint problems starting and am having a lot of acid reflux.

Besides the fact that something as simple as trying on clothes depresses me for days and I have started ordering all my clothes online to keep it from happening.

Soooo, the only person that can change this is me. Even though I have quit the program before, I know its the best one out there and I know if I will work the program it will work for me. I am very curious about the new plan and have heard a lot of good things about it. Have all of you changed to the new plan or are any of you still doing the old one?

I think it's great that you know "it's time" for me. I went through the samething as you. Once I started WW it seemed that everything feel into place. I feel so much better and I can't wait to plan my meals for the next day.
This is 'YOUR' life and it's time to enjoy it!
