Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[sjms71]

So, at weigh in I am down .4 today. I knew my 1 lb week was short lived, oh well. Now only 9.2 lbs to go.

Thanks so much for all of your super helpful words of wisdom, online WW buddies. My "friend" is morbidly obese, and I think she's having a lot of troubles with my success because she hasn't had her a-ha moment yet to be motivated to get healthier. We've talked for years about how we'd feel better losing weight, getting healthier, etc. As I've shared here before, I finally had my realization last fall/winter about how I deserved to be healthier. She just can't seem to find her motivation, and apparently has decided it's my fault. It's sad, and I'll support her however I can, but I'm really tired of her trying to drag me down.

Thanks again for all your help - it's very much appreciated! Hope everyone is having a great day, and I'm still messing with photobucket so I can eventually post "before" and "now" pics.

OMG that breakfast looks a lot yummier than mine!

So now for my official "Wendie Plan" Report. I LOST 3.8 POUNDS THIS WEEK!!!!

I have been really affraid to use my weeklies since the new program started, but this week I used 29 of them and I LOST 3.8 LBS!

I would definately reccomend this method for people in a weight loss funk.

I am going to do this for at least one more week. Like I said before, the planning has really helped me stay on track, and the accountability here has made me really look at my GHG's and make sure I get them in.

That's unbelievable! Way to go, girl! I'm glad you found a way to make this work. Here's to another great week!

That's almost half a pound. Think of it in terms of chocolate -- it's a lot!!! You're doing so well, you know! So now you've got a little less than a bag of potatoes to go. Just think of it each week as taking a couple of potatoes out of that bag.

Thanks again for all your help - it's very much appreciated! Hope everyone is having a great day, and I'm still messing with photobucket so I can eventually post "before" and "now" pics.

I've never used photo bucket but Tiny Pic is pretty easy. You might want to give that a try. Good luck. I cant wait to see your pictures.

I almost forgot...I weighed in yesterday. Since I didn't weigh in last Wednesday, I dont know what the difference is but I'm exactly 1 pound below my goal weight. I'm regretting not having weighed in last week. I just should have gotten on the scale with my eyes closed and gotten one of the receptionists to write it down for me so I could look at it later.

 

[Twingle]

I think I've figured out Photobucket! Thanks so much for all your help and patience friends!

Here's me last October, right before Halloween:

Here's me this morning, 36 pounds lighter (sorry for the poor quality!)

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Here's what I'm having for lunch today.



1% Milk 1Cup -- 3pts
2 Herb and Garlic Chicken Skewers, President's Choice Blue Menu, 1pt@ -- 2pts
Couscous 1/3 Cup -- 3pts
Broccoli -- 0pts
Grapes 1Cup -- 0pts

Eight points for lunch which includes 1 dairy serving, a little less than 1 lean protein serving and 3 fruit/veggie servings.

I might get supper uploaded later but I may not -- I have to be at work at 5:45. I think this is the only day that I will be doing this!

That is terrific Toni-Ann! What a great shot in the arm. Take that Mom!

Going in the right direction Stephanie. Congrats!

I don't think I could "forget" a loss. That must be very satisfying. Good job. And thanks for posting your food photos -- healthy food can be food porn, too!

You look FANTASTIC!! Loving your rockin' hair too!

I second that!

Wow! You look amazing! I'm glad you figured out how to post. I love before and after pictures.

Thanks everyone! It was a big holy sh!t moment for me, I've never done a side by side comparison like that. My hair is nuts, thanks so much for the compliments. I had super straight, fine hair until I had my girls, and now it's curly, and seven years later all I know to do with it is wash it - my hairdresser just cuts it really, really well.

And, since I've learned how to use Photobucket, this is the sign my family made me for my last 5k:

Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart, for always being so kind and supportive. It makes SUCH a huge difference to have that support there. You guys rock.

 

[cepmom]

thanks everyone!! Weighed in today and I am up 1.6 from last WI on 4/28, which I am okay with because I have not been able to do ANY exercise for a month. But I was under (just barely) "that number I did not want to see" I am really going to try and stay the same over this vacation. Even though I won't walk as much as I usually do at WDW, I will probably be walking more then I have around the house the past month. If I can do it, I will be thrilled!

Good luck at your weigh-in Cepmom! I'm so excited that your going to WDW tomorrow! I'm glad you could get a scooter but it's too bad that you will not be able to do the walking so I wont mention the Butterfinger Cupcake at Staring Roles Cafe in Hollywood Studios. This is what it looks like -- if you see it, scoot away really fast!



Have a wonderful time!

thanks!! I don't really like butterfingers so I think I'm all set there haha!

Good luck with your weigh in! I think you made the right choice by renting the scooter. I was reading about someone on one of the DVC boards who was put at the very end of the hallway at BWV (that's a LOOOONNNNNGGG hallway) and her DH had a hard time getting around but refused to rent a scooter outside the parks because he thought it would be a PITB. It ended up being a bigger PITB to walk the long hallways but he was still too stubborn to rent one from an outside company.

Do the kid's meals at WDW really work for you? I think that many of them are way too fast-foodish and full of fat. Maybe you can choose salads, or grapes instead of fries, or even veggie burgers instead of the real thing. My DD is a vegetarian so I we end up eating at places that offer non-traditional CS food. I really like the Lighthouse Sandwich at Columbia Harbor House (it's hummus and broccoli slaw) and the fruit salad at Flame Tree BBQ. Sunshine Seasons also has some really good food. In any case, I'm jealous! Have a great time!


.

I've had the kids meals before, but I can't remember right now what I had!! I wouldn't get the chicken nugget type things or mac & cheese. Maybe at Flame Tree BBQ I had chicken leg and maybe something at Sunshine Seasons from the kids menu. I seem to remember they used to have a grilled chicken option for kids before, but maybe they don't anymore. The fruit platter at Flame Tree is awesome!!! Definitely getting that again this year. the Lighthouse sandwich also sounds good...may have to try that too!! thanks!

OK. That looks a lot better than my Tuna on Low Calorie Wheat bread. How the heck is that only 1/3 cup of couscous? Is that 1/3 cup uncooked?

Okay, that made me laugh out loud Thanks so much for that! You rock.

Man, I haven't been on lately....been trying to keep up with my son's busy schedule! Hopefully after this weekend we will get a break. I did make it to my WI today and am down 3.4 this week!!! I only have 1.4 left of my WDW gain and I'll be back to where I was before WDW. One week of weight gain and 2 weeks taking it back off...I guess it could be worse (and I probably should wait until next week to see if I really did it in 2 weeks).

I had a NSV yesterday too. I went to the doctor yesterday and he looked at my chart and said "you are a much leaner person than the last time I saw you". About 21 lbs. lighter! That was nice to hear. Of course, their scale is nicer the WW ones at meeting. If I was using their scale, I would be what I was before WDW!

I had an ultrasound on my thyroid today too. He suspects I have a nodule. Not too sure about what that means yet but I guess I will find out next week. He said it can't be too serious or I wouldn't have been able to lose weight like have been so I guess that's good news.

Now to go catch up on posts. I already see a really yummy lunch and a picture of someone that looks awesome! Have a great weekend everyone!!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

OK, here's supper.



1 Schnieders Octoberfest Sausage -- 7pts
Basmati Rice 1/2 Cup -- 2pts
Carrots, Green Beans -- 0pts

The salad which would have counted for my 2 oil points is not in the photo because I didn't have time to make it before I left for work and I wasn't going to eat it at 9pm when I got home so no healthy oils today. No whole grains today either but I did get all my dairy, all my fruits and veggies and most of my lean proteins.

I took a banana to work with me and when I got home, I snacked on jello with plain greek yogurt for 2pts.

So this was a 29 point day and I didn't dip into my weeklies.

Something I noticed about doing this today was that it kept me honest. I ate everything that I should (oil excluded ) and wasn't actually hungry between meals.

I might do this again but not anytime soon. It's a bit of a pain. Is anyone else up to the challenge of posting pictures of their day???

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Well, it is cooked but it may not be 1/3 of a cup. It's more then 1/4 but less than 1/2. I just didn't know what else to call it!

WI this morning, and I'm thrilled with a 2.4 pound loss! I have *no* idea how, considering I ate an entire medium (veggie) pizza from Domino's over two days at the beginning of my week. It was also my TOM. Looking back over my WW online chart, it seems I have slow losses the two weeks leading up to my TOM (PMS, water retension?) and then have a really good loss that actual week. Funny how our bodies keep/use some food...never know what you'll find when you step on the scale.

With today's WI, I also passed the 30 pounds GONE mark!! Crazy-happy with that.

Happy Friday everyone...keep up the GREAT work! Here's to a super weekend of good choices and some outdoor activity points earned. (It is supposed to finally be warm and sunny here in Indy!)
