Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[sjms71]

Sandi are you back from CA?

Well, a lose is a lose is a lose. I knew it wasn't going to be a good weigh in. Down .6 pounds. Back to getting back on track!

Great attitude, down is better than up

hey guys
just checking in. Have had a good couple of days tracking and thinking before eating. Walked 10 miles in the past 2 days and also ran 2 miles last week! My legs are still feeling it thoughIt will be slow, but I am determined to get back to running

I found out I have a labrum tear in my shoulder from the accident in April...not sure how we are going to procede with that. Following up with my Dr in August. I don't want to let it go, but really not sure if I need surgery either. We shall see what the next month brings.

hope everyone else is having a good week!

sorry you are still having some trouble from your accident, but keep up the great work getting back on track.

That's definitely the best way to look at it - at least the numbers are going in the right direction! Good luck til next weigh in

Sandi are you back from CA?

Yes, ma'am. Been back in the office for 2 days and I feel like I've done 2 weeks worth of work in that time. Getting ready to go on vacation and cleaning everything up after vacation is almost more than I can bear. But, going on another vacation next month -- to WDW!

I have my WI tomorrow and I fear it will not be good. We ate lots of delicious seafood in Monterey and the rest of the coast and then Chinese in San Francisco's Chinatown. I did get lots of walking in though and we did some hiking and kayaking. Not enough to offset the calories though.

Hi everyone I've been kinda missing from the boards. Just got frustrated at my 1st week WI, where I gained a pound! I couldn't believe it! I guess TOM might have had something to do with that, or the fact that I reintroduced carbs after being on Atkins. But whatever it was, I didn't give up, despite how sad and frustrated I was. Weighed in this morning, down 2.6! I KNOW I need to get more active if I want to lose weight. Hard to get inspired, especially in this heat, but I'm trying.

I also think I get too many points (29). I usually have at least 5 left after dinner... so I mentally count fruit now. I could so easily go overboard on fruit, so this is a good idea for me, I think. We'll see what happens.

Hi, we just got back from seeing family in NYC. I did not stay OP all week & ate what ever I wanted but not to excess. We had a lot of good Italian food.
I checked the scale this am & I was up 3lbs, which I honestly thought would be much more so I will take it.

Hope everyone has been doing well. Here's to a good week OP!

 

[BabyTigger99]

Okay, I am back on track and feel sooooo much better!! We did go out for dinner last night, which we like to do on my weigh in night. Had Mexican, my favorite. Unfortunately, half of one of my molars broke off, so I am going in for a crown today (my 2nd in the last three months!).

 

[Sandi]

Back from my WI and . . . wait for it . . . I was DOWN 0.2 pounds. That's almost a whole stick of butter. And, that's after a vacation week in California! I'd been ignoring the home scale since we got back on Sunday and said I would just face the WW scale like a big girl. The receptionist weighing me in was a little surprised at my unbridled joy in losing 0.2, but I explained what my expectation was and then she understood.

So, like a previous poster, I'm proof that you can lose weight on vacation -- even if you don't track on paper. Don't go crazy with eating and get some exercise.

What a relief!

How many points do you think a paninni with chicken, roasted peppers and mozarella is? I only ate half of it.

Home from WI. Down 3.6!

This week is turning out to be a very stressful week . My best friend called me and told me she was going to go back to Mississippi from Pa via North Carolina. I am so excited I haven't seen here in a long time even though we talk almost everyday. But she is coming with her 3 girls, so I've been trying to "white glove" clean my house. Plus we started school on Monday and my son is in Middle school now. My 8 th grader is easy does all her homework without me sitting on her, Adam not so much......it's going to be a looooong year. And I didn't really track today and I know I didn't eat all my points.

Wow...I can't believe it, I have lost 25.6 lbs since March 2nd. It's been so easy and I feel so much better! I average about 1.34 lbs lost per week. WW has helped me make the right food choices and I never go to bed hungry. I started in a 16W and now in a size 14. I have a great team of support at home and work (plus a great Weight Watchers leader). My supporters are my biggest help, plus getting to the gym. I sleep better too! Just 32 lbs more until I'm at my goal!

I met someone at my meeting with a DIS t-shirt on, I'm hopeing she will join in on the WW board with us.

Hope everyone has a great week!

 

[Zoo Keeper]

My first weigh in this morning after starting back on the plan....and I'm down 10 lbs!!
I know I won't see that next week but it feels good now.

 

[Holly324]

I am slightly nervous for WI tomorrow morning....we have been packing and getting ready to move. I have been OP, but have used all my extra points. Here is hoping for a loss!!!

Even though you've got some stress going on, it sounds like you'll have a fun time with your friend and her girls. I'm sure she isn't coming to see your super clean house -- she wants to see you!

Congratulations on your success! You're a WW poster girl.

That's amazing. It's nice to start out of the block with a big loss. Keep to the plan and you'll do well over the long haul.

Let us know how you do. I find that sometimes the WI's I'm nervous about are ones I didn't need to worry over. The points are there to use when you need them, so you should be fine. Seems like you should get Activity Points for packing -- that's work!

Hang in there. Enjoy time with your friend & don't worry if the house is spotless, real friends don't mind some dust bunnies.

Wow, that is great! I have the same to go to goal. Keep up the good work!

Ugh, I am hurting today. Took a walk with my parents when I went to pick DS up at their house, stepped wrong on a part of the road, rolled my ankle and ended up face down on the road!! I just want to go back to bed!!!
