Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

I'm up 0.5. No explanation.

Today is DD's 16th birthday, so I hope I don't have too much trouble navigating through her dinner and cake choices.

Today is my DD birthday too! She turns 12 today and I've been 'budgeting' my points all day so that I can enjoy her birthday dinner at Red Robin. Hope your DD has a awesome 16th birthday!

Well, I decided to face the music (actually the scale ) today and was down 3.6 lbs! That is for two weeks but I'm thrilled since I've kinda been at a plateau for a few weeks. Only .4 lbs till I hit my 10% and 25 lbs!!

You know, I try and use some common sense. If I am putting apples into an apple pie, all the points would count. But, if I'm making a waldorf salad, I don't count the apples and celery, just the yogurt dressing and nuts. Or if I am sauteing apples and onions for a side dish for pork, I don't count it either.

I wouldn't count the fruit in a smoothie.

Thank you for the waldorf salad idea! After I saw that mentioned, I went on a 'me' grocery trip today and included those ingredients so I could make it. Sometimes it seems like I'm so focused on making sure I buy what the kids need that I forget about myself.

I'm up 0.5. No explanation.

I know this doesn't help much, but that could be the humidity, your clothes, or any number of things. There probably is no logical explanation and it will right itself next week.

FANTASTIC!! Congrats! There's nothing like the sigh of relief or thrill that comes from seeing an unexpected/surprise/pleasant lesser number pop up on that scale.

Happy Birthday to your DD, too!

I did ok almost all day... until I got home and there was all this FROSTING everywhere!! I LOVE frosting. Had too much of it, but did ok otherwise. Tomorrow is another day, right?

congrats to everyone who lost weight this week.

I am a online subscriber just because I am always on my phone and I work at a dr's office so a scale is there when I need to weigh in
I started WW beginning of may and started at 234 now 232 so 2 lbs lost so far havent weighted in recently will wait til next monday to see how my exercise and my nutrition goes.
Today I was good I had all 5 meals and i am not as starving as I usually am when I only eat 3 times a day, to think having 5 meals makes a difference. I also am taking multi and fish oil and I am not as tired as I usually am when I get toward the end of day.
Hope everyone had a good evening!

I had my Endocrine appt yesterday and the doctor call me her "poster child" for today. Not only am I happy that she called me a child, but I have lost weight (19 lbs), my blood pressure is down and she's taking me off the meds for four months!

I had another one of those weekends that I ate and ate with no gym time! The Brass Lantern on Friday and the Cheesecake Factory on Monday. I did lose .2 lbs which brings me to a total of 19 lbs in 13 weeks. Not bad when I just knew I had gained. My leader told me to look at it as if I had lost a bar of soap off my butt!

Last night's meeting was about thanking our "supporting actors". I wanted to thank YOU! You are my number one support and I couldn't do this without your support. Keep the positive thoughts!

Congratulations on your wonderful medical news and on your loss. The little losses add up.

I agree with you about this board and all the support we get and give. I really look to this team as my safety net, cheer squad, and so much more. My family does a fine job for me, but they do not really know what we're going thru. You guys do and you get it. Hugs all around!

That's what happened to me last week. Hang in there & just keep doing what you're doing & good luck for a loss next week.

Wonderful news!!! What did you end up having at Cheesecake Factory? I love that place but we don't go very often as I am too tempted.

You are so right. My family has been super supportive & DH has made very sweet comments to me which I am so happy about. However unless you deal with this on a daily basis then you don't know how hard it can be sometimes. Food is all around us & there is no escaping it because we need it for nutrition. But food is also used for celebrations, sickness, comfort, distraction, reward, & socialization. This journey we are all on has to be on our minds all the time so we can be successful in our ultimate goal. I am glad to have found this group.

Oh man, give me some strength today! It is one of the attorney's 60th birthday today, and there is TONS of food around today!!! I actually shut my office door, and am trying to keep to myself and my work as much as I can!! This will be a challenge!!

Hey All, just back from WI and I am down 2.4. So, lost the 2 lbs I was up last week and down .4 from my weight 2 weeks ago. I am off to the Endo. for my check up, I know there is some reading I need to catch up on here so I will post more later. Have a great day everyone.

I'd be shutting my door, too. At my firm, we decided to celebrate all birthdays for the month on the first Friday at 3:00 with a treat in the kitchen. So, tomorrow is the day here. There will likely be cupcakes, ice cream cake, or pie. I'll go in the kitchen (unless I can get on a call with a client!) at 3:00, wish the folks a happy birthday, get a Coke Zero and call it good. No one pressures anyone to eat anything. I hope you can avoid the temptations. If not, remember that moderation works pretty well.

2.4 is great Stephanie. I'm glad you had a good week. Hope all went well with your check up. I bet you'll be another "poster child" (like NC State)!
