Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[Twingle]

Hello my WW buddies! I've just registered for the 2012 Princess 1/2, didn't know if any others on this thread would be joining me? It's my first 1/2, and my first Disney race!

Hello all! I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. I was so excited that I managed to only use a few weekly points with this weekend. We grilled out, but we grilled turkey burgers, asparagus, pineapple, and peaches. The asparagus and the pineapple were especially tasty! Low points, too - just the olive oil on the asparagus! Loved it! Anyway, my first weight watcher weigh in isn't until Thursday, but I am already down a bit. Sooooo happy about that for my first week. We are going out of town for this coming weekend, so I hope I can stay in points! We are staying at a friend's house, and they are fixing the food, so I hope it is healthy!!!

Have a great day all!

I've been lurking on your thread and think its time to become a member. 5 years ago I lost 50 pounds on the weight watchers core program in 7 months with no exercise. I managed to keep it off for a while by adding exercise. But now its up and I'm 20 pounds away from gaining the entire thing back. I have been struggling horribly. I don't have an issue with exercise I have been working out steady for the last few years and just within the last few months signed up for boot camp training. For 4 months now I have been working out 5 times a week. I've only lost 6 pounds but lost 4% body fat and a ton of inches. I am so frustrated with myself, I obsess about the number on the scale. It just doesn't move. I also attend ww faithfully every week for the last 6 years. I don't know what else to do. I just said to my hubby maybe I need to go back to working out 2 times a day again just to shake things up. Does anyone have any suggestions for me I am open to anything at this point? I look in the mirror and all I see is the old me again. I am 5'4" 170 lbs and wear a size 8 or 10. I try to be happy and accept it but I know what I used to be and I want it back again. I've had my thyroid tested and its fine. I've tried all diets.

Oh man, I would love to be 170 and be able to wear a size 8 or 10. I am 5'4" and (as of today) 175.4, and I still wear a size 16! I haven't dropped a size at all (which is HIGHLY frustrating!).

Hi all!
I'm totally new to WW. Glad to see discussion here on the DIS because I'm definately NOT new to it! I love it here. I came to this forum to see if anyone can calculate my DH's daily points. I joined WW online. I want him to follow it with me for a couple of weeks (at least) to hopefully get him to join too. I know he'd do better tracking online too, but he doesn't want to spend the money (yet.) I want to show him he can easily stick with it and convince him that it's money well spent. BUT in the meanwhile, I'd like to know his points...Please help. We've just been guessing
He's 6 foot
weighs 202lbs
40 years old
(Does activity matter in calculations anymore? He's on his feet all day. Nothing heavy though.)
I didn't find anywhere on the website to calculate his points (maybe because they want him to join first?!) But I heard there calculators will do that. Can anyone help me out, please? Thanks! (I'll make a separate post too to try to reach more people to get a quick answer.)

Thanks so much! He was using a calculation off the internet that we just figured out was the last program. So he was trying to stick to 36 points per day. He'll be so happy with 42! Maybe happy enough to sign up and use the website! Right now he keeps asking me to look stuff up for him. At least he's playing along!

One more question...
From my searches it appears there is not a WW app for windows 7 phones. Is that correct?

Morning Ladies,

Its been awhile since I've posted (and read the thread), but I've come back for your wonderful support. I have fallen hard from the WW train and I need to get my motivation back and get back on track. I have gained 15 pounds since April 23 (when I broke the bone in my foot) - and that is so embarassing to admit . I have returned to all my bad eating habits (eating everything in sight, eating all the time, getting up and eating in the middle of the night, and basically thinking about eating all the time.

I haven't been to a meeting in weeks, so that hasn't helped me. I wake up in the morning and say that this the day that I get back on track and then til the end of the day, I've fallen again.

So I thought if I come back to my WW friends here - so I can get motivated to get going once again!!!

Here is my plan - I will renew my monthly pass today and will go to a meeting tomorrow morning. I am exercising everyday (slowly getting back into walking/ light jog) - I have restarted the C25K program. I printed my tracker out and will track my eating and stick my points allowance today.

I'm trying to take it one meal at a time, one day at a time, one week at a time.

I have a goal to lose these 15 pounds by the time we leave for Disney on August 6th - I know it might not be a realistic goal, but one I am going to shoot for anyway.

Thanks for letting me vent - I will go back and read the pages I missed to see how everyone is doing!

hey Tammy
I've been thinking about you as well and I am glad to see you back here. I can totally feel your pain and have been in the same boat for a while now also. These injuries can really sideline you . I am glad to see you getting back into walking/jogging...you'll get back to where you were eventually...take it slow and keep at it.

I haven't been running at all since my accident on April 15th...I try to walk as much as I can but it hasn't been consistant. I really miss running and don't want this accident to be the end of it. I am going to have to start back at square one with C25K too.

We can do it!!

Bleh, cramps! I hate it! Grumblegrumble

4th of July was great -- though too much champagne was consumed by this girl Food-wise, I did well. I probably blew through about 20 WPs on the champagne, but I had planned for that, so I'm okay with it.

Today was supposed to be my weigh in day, but I was at my boyfriend's this morning so I didn't get to weigh in on my home scale. I'll move it to Wednesday morning instead. I want to make sure I'm consistent with using the same scale for every weigh in. Any loss will make me happy -- even if it's only a few ounces. As long as the scale is moving in the right direction, I'm satisfied

Welcome back to some and welcome to the newbies (I'm a newbie, too, but there seem to be some even newer-newbies, which is great!). Hope you all had a great day!

hey everyone! hope everyone's 4th was good so weighted in today and lost 1.1 making it total 10 lbs since may 29

Is it ok for a UK WW-er to join in here?

I've lost 21 pounds over the past year but I still have somewhere between 7-14 pounds to go and now it so slow, so I would love to chat with you!

I am so glad to see you back. I have been struggling since shortly after Mother's day to really be on program.

I do great one day, then over eat the next. I am eating despite being full, just because the food is there.

This morning like most mornings this month, I am awake and ready to eat on program.

Just back from my weigh in. I wasn't expecting much. Didn't track at all since Friday, and we were up north at my parents cabin. However, my mom did a great job of having fruits and veggies always sitting in the fridge to eat. Plus, we always went for a walk in the evening. I ate stuff that really wasn't good, but I did everything in moderation (well, except for my mom's potato salad, love that stuff!). I must have been subconsciously been keeping track, though, because I lost 3 pounds!!

3lbs! Awesome job

Welcome, a few of us are on those last few and it's slow going for us too. Hang in there.

DW ordered a WW PointsPlus kit from Ebay but it didn't come with anything that calculates our daily points allowance. Does the WW PontsPlus pocket calculator do this?

I'm an in-person meeting person with e-tools, too. I don't use the pocket calculator because I use the e-tools version, but I don't think it tells you the total points per day. That is based on factors such as current weight, lifestyle, etc. The leaders calculated it for me at my first meeting. would think a kit without the fundamentals wouldn't give you the full picture. I'm sure that's part of WW's plan to make money.

the little blue Points Plus calculator does have a feature that will calculate your daily points plus allowance for you, as well as calculate the points plus values for foods

I woke up this morning and decided that in an effort to attain my goal of running the Princess Half marathon for my 40th Birthday next February, I needed a shorter goal to get me on my way. So, I have decided to run in the Disney Halloween 5K at Animal Kingdom on Oct 1st. Anyone care to join me?

Oh how I wish I could! I would love to do something like that!

I have to go to the dentist today....I can't stand going to the dentist.... Here's hoping for a good report!

The good news is that I have a hard time eating when I am nervous, so I don't think staying in my points today will be difficult. Anyway, hope you guys all have a great day!

Can't join you IRL, but I'd run it virtually with you! Hope to see you at the Princess 1/2!

I lost another 1.2 lbs this week! That brings me up to 24.2 lbs in 18 weeks (started 3/2/11). I'm just 71 days from my Disney trip. I'm feeling better and having more energy than ever! Keep thinking positive and the weight will come off!
