Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[NC State]

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)

It saddens me to tell all of you that my co-work that gave me the "bravo" sticker Friday morning passed away Saturday evening. She knew her health wasn't good and just wanted to feel better. I'm so sorry I couldn't have been there sooner for her. Now I need to contact my WW leader to let her know.

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.

hi Stephanie
sorry, we did not ride Star Tours...we are not fans of the motion picture type rides. DD and I always feel sick after them. We did 2 days at Universal before heading to Disney and had more than enough motion picture type rides there...Spiderman, The Simpsons etc.I can do just about any roller coaster out there, but put me on a ride with a movie and I'm done

Honestly, I think waiting a week after returning from WDW helped a ton with my WI results this week! We stopped at a grocery store down there and bought yogurt, Kashi granola bars, fruit and I brought some WW cinnamon pop crisps and ranch multigrain snacks with me from home. Having some healthy snacks on hand was a huge help. Of course, lots of water too. For meals, I usually chose some kind of grilled chicken or fish entree, I did not order appetizers or desserts(if the kids got dessert, I would take a bite of theirs) One day I did not have lunch because I just wasn't hungry and we didn't have any plans to go anywhere that day.

At counter service places, I ordered the kids sweet & sour chicken from Sunshine Seasons, the fruit plate at Flame Tree BBQ, a chicken wrap at Pecos Bill's, veggie stir fry at the China Pavilion and a salad at Electric Umbrella. I'm sure there is more I'm missing but that's what popping into my head right now

good luck and have fun on your trip...I'm sure you'll do fine!

I plan to pick up a lot of healthy snacks and stuff when we get down there. We have been on the dining plan the last several trips. We are not doing any dining plan and we are not staying on property this time either, I know . We will be staying in a condo so I will have a kitchen to make a good breakfast and pack snacks for the parks.

we didn't do the dining plan this trip either so maybe that was the biggest help of all we only had 4 sit down meals the whole 8 nights.

Being able to cook your own meals in the condo will be a big help too

[acf_1991]

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!

Thanks for the info

Hey DIS just checking in...I haven't been on here as much as I would like to but I plan to come on more regularly!

Anyways I have been doing pretty well with WW now that I have started again. I have actually "splurged" a few times and I still have 10 WP left for this week! Whoohoo! I was so afraid I was going to screw it all up because one night last week I had a few and ate a large order of McDonalds french fries...the next morning when I plugged it all in to my calculator I was pleasantly surprised that I still had WP left after that LOL. That's the great thing about WW is that I was able to do that and not feel like a failure and I will probably still lose some weight this week! Whoo!

Weigh in is tomorrow can't wait to see how I did. It feels good to be back OP!

Proud mom interruption: DD16's JV tennis coach gave her the MVP award at last night's award/celebration dinner. She isn't the best player, but she works hard, is reliable, and a supportive teammate. Those attributes cover a number of people on this thread, too.

Just back from weigh in. Thought it wasn't going to be great, considering we had DSD's graduation party, and it is TOM for me, but I am down another 4.2 pounds, for a grand total of 16 pounds lost since being on WW!

great job! could be the shoulder is just strained. I'd give it a few days of rest and ice to see if it improves at all. Hope it feels better for you soon

[vickalamode]

Yay! Down 1.8lbs from the last time I weighed myself before I fell off track when I moved which was over a month ago. I am still "up" about 2 pounds from the lowest weight I got to since I started but hopefully that will be gone in the next couple of weeks too!
