Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[NC State]

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.

I had the Weight Mgt. Asian Chicken Salad, it was a lot of salad! (and no cheesecake!)

 

[YO's Mom]

I just joined WW last week and had my first weigh in on Tues. Pleased and embarrassed to say that I lost 12.2 pounds in my first week. Pleased, because, man, that's a lot of weight. Embarrassed because obviously I must be pretty heavy in the first place to be able to lose 12.2 pounds in a week. My 8 year old, bless her heart, said, "You're just like one of those Biggest Loser people, Mommy!" Um, yeah. Unfortunately, I am!

I'm finding the program easy to do. I haven't started with any exercise yet other than trying to walk around the building at work a bit and climbing the stairs instead of using the elevator. Now that the weather is warmer and the rain has let up, I'd like to get out and walk some.

Just wanted to check in here. My at work meeting isn't really all that supportive so I thought I'd try to find some online support!

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!

Welcome! I'm glad you are able to make the program work for you.

Hey All, just back from WI and I am down 2.4.

Yipee!!!

Well after last weeks gain I am happy to report I am down 4lbs this weeks WI. I have now entered the 170's which I have not seen since 2004.

Nice loss!! Keep up the great work!

I would have had the cheesecake!

Congratulations on your loss! That's wonderful for your first week. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the program. Also, I see you're family is looking forward to your first trip to WDW. I'm sure you'll have a great trip!

I'm glad you joined us. This is a great group of people who are very supportive and helpful. Personally, other than the convenience, I wouldn't find an "at work" WW group helpful to me. I like my WW Leader and group at the WW establishment. Maybe your at work group will turn out better than you think! Anyway, feel free to turn to this group any time you need a hug or a push or a kick in the butt. It's a journey that will take you to a better place.

As Jessie pointed out, you have a WDW trip planned in 5 months. There is nothing like a WDW trip to motivate you to get in better shape. You'll be glad you walked the stairs at work when you're walking 10 miles a day at WDW.

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)!

Thanks Sandi, check up went well. Thyroid levels are perfect so can't blame that on slow weight loss. I don't have a thyroid condition but she checks all the time. I have a pituitary tumor and messes up all my hormones. Anyway, she is very happy with my weight loss. I was talking to her about where I want to be weight wise and she looked at me funny and said but that is what you weigh? The medical assistant typed the wrong weight in the computer. I was like boy if only it were that easy . She kind of said the same thing as your Dr and is fine with the weight I am now. I want to give it until the end of July, at least and see what the scale looks like then. I also couldn't believe how low my bp was. I never really had high bp but it's never been 104/70.

Well after last weeks gain I am happy to report I am down 4lbs this weeks WI. I have now entered the 170's which I have not seen since 2004.

I just hope I can keep my focus now that the kids will be home & going on vacation.

Wow, that is great!!!

I came into work today and a co-worker handed me a "bravo" sticker. At first I thought, wow, that looks like a WW sticker. Then she tells me that I'm the one that encourage her to make the first step to a WW meeting and she joined last night. She told me that I was always positive and acted like I felt so much better and she wanted to feel that way too. I had no idea that I had started something. I had another co-worker to start the program last week too! What a great way to start a day ;0)

Stephanie that is wonderful, and it kind of fits in to the meeting top of the week!!!! That is the best compliment!!!.......................BRAVO

 

[Sandi]

At the lower right of the message you want to quote are both the word "quote" and then a symbol quote. Use the symbol for multi-quotes (allows you to go to different messages) and then, when you have the last message you want to quote, hit quote. It was a "duh" moment for me when someone explained it to me. I think it was a friend on this thread.

I've always found you inspirational, too. What a great compliment and a terrific way to start the day and weekend.

I'm looking for the list that I saw a few months back that gave you an idea on what your weight lost would equal.
Example .2 lbs = bar of soap, 5 lb = one bag of sugar.

I would like to print it off for my co-workers that just joined. Thank you everyone!

Those are all great, but I always need the most encouragement when it's "only 0.2#" -- the less than one pound stuff. That is still progress, but it doesn't always feel like progress. My WW leader uses sticks of butter to represent the quarter pounds -- I've heard others talk about bars of soap. What are some other "less than one pound" measures? It took me a year to lose a cinder block -- one stick of butter at a time.

Hey guys. I was up 4 lbs at my WI Wednesday. I know I over ate a little, but 4 lbs was unexpected. I start every morning on program, but I am finding myself very hungry at night. My motavation is slipping and I need to get back on track before I gain all my weight back.

Right now I am in the car on my way to Coronado Springs. We are attending a conference for families of the handicapped. We may head to DHS to ride the new Star Wars ride, but being Star Wars Weekend we may skip it and wait till August. My FL resident seasonal passes are blacked out from Mid June until the Mid August, so this will be our only chance until then.

After I return, I will re commit to the plan, but this weekend, I think I just need to give myself a break. I know tomorrow we will be having dinner at Sweet Tomatoes. Gotta love the 4 for $19.99 coupons!

0.2 = about 195 chocolate chips! (ask me how I know that... )

It's probably just a fluke. I know I over did it 2 weekends ago too and I was 2lbs up the day of weigh in. However, those 2lbs quickly came off so leads me to think it really wasn't 2lbs of weight. I know you will be back on track once you get home. Have a great time a Coronado and the parks. If you ride star tours let us know how it is. I am leaving next Friday so we can make the end of SWW. Can't wait to ride the new star tours.
