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!

Oooh! Sorry your up 4lbs. Enjoy your conference and enjoy your time at WDW.

Are you able to save any of your points for later in the evening? Have a big bowl of fruit and yogurt or a smoothie or a bagel and peanut butter??? Something to fill you up.

A little late in posting the results of Tuesday's weigh-in ...

I was down 3 pounds - was up 3.4 the previous week so I am "almost" back on track.

This week I walked 3 miles four times - still haven't gotten up the nerve to run at all, but soon - I promise

Sorry you were up. I've been struggling with night time munchies, too. Lately I've been having 1/2 cup of fiber one, a cup of frozen berries, and a small yogurt or some skim milk. The frozen berries make it kind of ice creamy and the fiber makes it filling. It's 3 or 4 points, but really takes care of the munchies.

Have a great time at Coronado. I also want to hear about Star Tours if you do it.

This made me LOL. My secretary came in to see what was up.

I just started weight watchers last week. Yesterday was my first weigh in and after a horrible week with strep throat and bronchitis I was down 2.4 pounds. Was hoping for a little more but I will take it. Cant wait to get to know you all!

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.

Love this! Completely agree -- thanks for posting.

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.

YAY!! That's great!

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.

Feels awesome, huh?? I, too, am at a weight I haven't seen since 2004. Yay, us!

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!

FAN-TA-STIC!! Congrats on a blockbuster first week! I know what you mean about being embarrassed, but WOW, you obviously followed the plan and it WORKED...that's super. I'm glad you like the program, and yes...loads of support here. Welcome!

Conrats to everyone for doing wo well at their weigh-ins! My first weigh-in is Saturday morning. I feel like I've been doing pretty well so, we'll see.

Break a leg tomorrow! Let us know how the first one goes.

I had my first WI today and I am down 4lbs. Woo hoo! I hope it continues next week.

WHEEEEE!! Welcome to the club -- congrats on an awesome first week!

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)

Hoorary! And "bravo" indeed! Two of my co-workers have been inspired and joined WW online as well.

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

LOL...love it! I was pretty bummed about a loss of .2 at WI this morning (though I know the two Memorial Day cook-outs were to blame), but this made me smile and feel so much better. I got rid of 195 chocolate chips this week...which I would *loved* to devour.

I just started weight watchers last week. Yesterday was my first weigh in and after a horrible week with strep throat and bronchitis I was down 2.4 pounds. Was hoping for a little more but I will take it. Cant wait to get to know you all!

Sorry to hear you were so sick this week but happy you had success at WI! Congrats on your first week!!

Finally finished watching "Days of Our Lives" and can head to bed. 'Night, all. Here's to a FABULOUS weekend!

[NC State]

Wow! That must have been a wonderful feeling.

It did, now I know I can do because I feel like a "leader". They are coming to me asking me "how would you count this" questions. I can't believe how WW has changed me.

...now I know I can do because I feel like a "leader". They are coming to me asking me "how would you count this" questions. I can't believe how WW has changed me.

My co-workers do the same, and it's really cute! A couple weeks ago, the three of us attended the same luncheon, and both "newbies" came to my office afterwards asking about how I counted the salad, soup and sandwich. Sometimes, my boss will text me from a restaurant asking how many points are such-and-such or will send a note at supper-time asking my advice.

Keep up the GREAT work!

Hi everyone
I'm back from Disney (actually got home last Saturday). We had a great time! Enjoyed lots of good food...I did the best I could, and did have things like cookies from the Germany bakery (when did that get there??? I never noticed it before so I think it's new?) and funnel cakes, but I always shared with someone. My biggest downfall was the drinks! DD is 21 now and wanted to have margaritas in Mexico or mojitos by the pool....I found myself having more than I should


I didn't WI until today though and I am up .8 from before our trip. I am good with that

I have been having such a hard time lately between not exercising the way I usually do and not having a meeting that I go to regularly. It seems every time I have a meeting I think I can commit to, something else comes up and I have to stop attending that particular meeting. I need meetings, so I decided to make Sunday mornings "my" meeting from now on.

I was actually talking with a friend yesterday (who is also a Lifetimer) and she asked if she could come with me. She is also having trouble sticking to a regular meeting, so hopefully she and I will be going together every Sunday morning. We used to go together when I first joined WW in 2007(she actually inspired me to join WW)I enjoy having someone to go with every week so I hope we can continue to encourage each other to succeed!

I have missed a lot of reading since we were away, so congrats to those that are doing well and higs to those that are struggling!

Had first WI yesterday, down 4.4lbs so I am happy. This is going to be a tough week though, today is my daughter's high school graduation and that means dinner out, Thursday is our end of the year luncheon at school. I am hoping my 49 plus points and walking will keep me on track!

 

[acf_1991]

I've decided I want to join weight watchers. I'm looking to lose about 40 pounds and I need the extra support. The only problem is that I can't seem to find out the price for in person meetings anywhere, including on the official ww website. Does anyone know where I can find out this information or if anyone is willing to tell me how much you pay? Im not sure if the price is the same everywhere so if it helps I'm located in l.a California. Please help someone! I would really appreciate it.

the price in most places across the country will be $39.95 for a monthly pass which incluces online access as well as unlimited meetings, or $14 per week. Here in MA we also have a 17 week pass for $209; I'm not sure if that is available nationwide though. Hope that helps and welcome!

Hope we all had good weekends. I managed to stay OP this weekend thankfully, so that's 2 weekends in a row that I was an .

I am hoping to be down 8 more lbs before we leave for Disney & then hope I don't gain it all back during the trip.

 

[BabyTigger99]

Well, I made it through DSD's graduation party. I was so busy, I didn't have to worry about pigging out!!! I had a hot dog on a bun, and some taco salad. Didn't even give in and have a cupcake (however, there is one sitting in my fridge that has my name on it for tomorrow after weigh in!).

I have determined that I really can't eat 29 points a day. It doesn't work for me. I have been doing some reading online, and people are saying that their leaders told them that 29 is more of a guide, not something hard and fast like it used to be on the other programs. I usually get around 26 points a day or so, and that is what works.

Welcome back, did you get to ride star tours? How was it if you did, we are leaving this weekend to go down for a very casual trip. Ok, so give me your tips on really not gaining any weight. Good luck to you and your friend sticking to the new Sunday routine. It's good to have a buddy.

Had first WI yesterday, down 4.4lbs so I am happy. This is going to be a tough week though, today is my daughter's high school graduation and that means dinner out, Thursday is our end of the year luncheon at school. I am hoping my 49 plus points and walking will keep me on track!

Great job on the 4.4 . Hope you were able to survive DD graduation.
