Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[Sandi]

Hello everyone!

I popped into the WW Center this morning (before breakfast) for a sneak peak at the scale and I was down 4.4lbs. It's not official until my weigh-in tomorrow so I'll have to keep my fingers crossed (and my mouth shut) all day today.

Have a good one!

I hope tomorrow's "official" is right there for you! So, is your mouth shut to keep from talking about it or eating?

 

[mommykds]

Ooooh, sorry to hear that. I guess it happens to all of us. I had a 3-day binge last week. Hope you're back on track today.

must have been something in the air yesterday...I used half my weekly points yesterday aloneI just never felt satisfied no matter what I ate and I feel the same way today. Trying really hard to reign it in today though. Hope your day is better today.

Have so totally been there! You will get back on track!!

Thanks everyone. I had a not so great morning food wise but the plan is not to waste another minute & get right back on the plan. I have dinner & my snacks planned for the rest of the day so no going off track. I have become so complacent with my 40lb loss that I feel like I am "done" Even though I know I will never be done with healthy eating. I still have at least 30 to go so I can't just give up. We have had day trips & events this summer that have derailed my losing so I am just maintaining at this point. Being at Disney later this summer will also not help with losing more. I am just hovering at the same weight I was a month ago. I know for some people the winter & holidays are a hard time for losing, but for me the summer is impossible due to vacations & lack of structure.

Thanks for the support.

Just back from my weigh in!!! Down 3.6 pounds, for a total of 31.6 pounds!! My next goal is to hit 35 pounds by the time I turn 35, which is on August 15th, although my weigh in will actually be on August 16th. I knew this week would be good, after last week's not so good weigh in. I just love this program. If you work the program, the program works for you!

I'm down almost 10 pounds my first month, but the last few days I can't stop eating, ugh!!!! I'm trying so hard to get back on track, I don't want to mess up all of my hard work now.

Just for for the eating part! Very funny!

Thank you! Wow...you've been to Disney a ton of times!

Well said! ...and happy birthday now because I'll likely not remember next month!

Stay focused, Kim, and you'll see 10 pounds before you know it!

Sorry you are having a tough time losing weight. Maybe if you can give us a typical day: what you eat, what your exercise is and how long. Maybe one of us will see something you can tweak.

Ok here is my typical day of eating.

Coffee with skim and sugar
oatmeal with skim

fruit

3 oz turkey with lettuce tomato and mayo on the side on regular whole wheat

dinner is usually a protein with vegetables and sometimes brown rice or whole wheat pasta

a snack at night - possibly a 2 pt bar or an ice cream bar

I drink all my water.

My workout is 4 -5 times a week and it's an hour of boot camp training which is usually a run, more cardio, weights, push ups and a bunch of other stuff. I burn 500 to 700 calories in an hour.

I don't eat my activity points

I take prescription water pills daily due to edema in my legs.

I am 5'4" and weigh 170, but wear a size 8 or 10 comfortably.

Please help me figure out why I can't lose an ounce. I am extremely frustrated and almost ready to throw in the towel.

Is it possible that you aren't eating enough??

Congrats on 10lbs down!
Hang in there! I am feeling the same way..think of all the work you have done & do not want to go back & lose it all over again.

 

[mommykds]

CdnBuzzFan,
Hope you have a great WI today!

 

[mommykds]

So after a bad 2 1/2 days I am back & focused. I helped my kids finish off a tray of brownies for breakfast yesterday & then shook myself off & got right back to WW's. I had PB sandwich & peach for lunch, then dinner was a huge salad with beans & avocado & a skinny cow cone. Today the scale is where I was before the weekend (which is still higher than I wanted to be at this date) however it's not a gain. My goal for right now was to be 170 but I am 178. I know once the kids are back in school I will start losing again but right now I am just focusing on not gaining.

Hope you all have a great day.

Tuesday nights is my cheat night. We usually go out to eat for dinner, and I eat what I want, and totally don't feel guilty about it at all. Last night we were supposed to go for Mexican, but ended up at Applebee's. And....I ended up with the WW Cajun Lime Tilapia!! Tried to be bad, and I couldn't! I did have some of the potato twisters DH ordered, but I was good on my entree.

Oh, forgot to mention that I had an "ah-ha!" moment this morning. Youngest DS had a photo shoot for an ad this morning. Afterwards, he came to my office until my dad was able to pick him up. My parking spot is probably 4 blocks from work. I had to carry him (he is almost 18 months and weights probably 27 pounds) for 3 of those blocks, because of traffic. It is sooo hot out today, and I was so sweaty after I was done carrying him. Then I began to think, hmmm, I used to carry that around every day before I started WW, and, unlike DS, I couldn't just put it down. Totally put everything in perspective!

Hey All,

Glad to see so many of us staying on track and getting back on track. Great Job to everyone. I think Jess is keeping us in suspense on her fabulous weigh in. It's ok Jess you can brag . Hope everyone else had an awesome Wednesday weigh in.

As for me, I am holding steady so far this week. I really didn't think I did too bad when my friend was here for a long weekend but, that annoying TOM is in full swing and I hate it. As if it doesn't already make me moody enough it's got to make the scale mess with my head too . I really want to eat a bag of chips right now but, I am staying strong and NOT giving in to any cravings.

With you there...that TOM can make the cravings be terrible. There are days where I think my poor DH doesn't know what to do with me. I am moody to begin with, but then I am trying to not give in to my cravings, too, so I think I am doubly moody....if that is even possible!

WI tomorrow!!! Trying to be very good today, going to try to get a bit of a work out in tonight. Way way way to hot here to do anything outside. Hope you are all having a great day!

YES, I can say from first hand experience it is completely possible, I am worse than usual this month and my family is staying clear of me. I made sure I don't have any of my trigger foods in the house and have been staying away from the store too.
