Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[CdnBuzzFan]

Okay, so there will be at least 3 of us planning to behave this week. The more the merrier, right?

What does one do for a Civic Holiday? Is food involved?

Seriously? Come on, Sandi, when is food NOT involved!!

Lots of people go camping this weekend. We're not campers -- I dont do bugs. It also ties together the two most popular weeks for vacations. It's like any other long summer weekend -- BBQ's, family, friends. There are a few celebrations at city hall but we never attend. We'll just be sitting around and doing stuff around the house.

You are too funny. And you don't do bugs. That's tag-fairy worthy. Love it.

Not looking forward to my WI tonight...I just can't seem to eat enough. I look though my FJ and I think I'm missing vegetables and that's why I'm not full after meals.

Up .4 that's not too bad. I'm going to try to be good this week and get back to the gym with my carrots!

Not too bad Steph, hang in there you can do it. Gym and carrots will certainly help .

That really isn't too bad. You faced the scales and are marching forward. The carrots and gym will get you where you want to be. Good luck this week Stephanie.

Nope! My secret stash is in the bottom of my china cabinet, in my cookie cutter drawer beneath my aprons and in my baking cupboard in a container underneath 3 bags of milk chocolate chips and a bag of brown sugar. I have 14 mars bars in that container!

to funny!! I bought a small bag of pretzel m&m's last week when I was in my out of control craving week, but was good. I threatened my kids if they touched them they would regret it. I allowed myself 3 everyday. I couldn't keep a stash like that around it would be to dangerous for me.

I am back from weigh in and although I knew I would have a loss this week I really wasn't expecting anything near this, honestly........I loss 2lbs . I almost cried at the scale, I just couldn't believe it. ONLY 4LBS TO GOAL!!!

Now if I can only keep this momentum up for the last 4 I will just be so happy.

Way to go Stephanie, and all the other losers this week!!

I didn't think I had a secret stash of candy, however, when I was cleaning this weekend, I came across two bags of Reese eggs and one bag of mini Easter Kit Kats. And, for the record, they tasted fine....

Congrats! I hope to be just where you are someday! I hope that last 4 come off super super quickly!

WI this morning was okay - down .6. I am happy I wasn't up! This week should be interesting! Moving week is here! We are packing up this weekend, and we move out Monday morning. Only an hour and a half from where we are now, but it is still a big move for us. Here's hoping I get LOTS of activity points!

That is AWESOME! Congratulations. Two pounds is amazing at this stage of the game. I'm in awe.

Congratulations on your loss. That's more than 2 sticks of butter. Good luck with your move. Are stairs involved? You get extra points for that.

That is so great, I know you feel great. How long has it taken you to reach this?

I started March 2 and my goal is 60 lbs, I have only lost 26 lbs so far.

Hey Stephanie, don't say "only 26 pounds." That is 26 pounds gone. Go find a 2 year old somewhere and carry him/her around for a day. Does that child weigh "only 26 pounds"? You're averaging more than 5 pounds a month. That is a very healthy way to do it. You are much more likely to keep off slowly lost weight. Give yourself some well deserved credit!

 

[sjms71]

Thank you everyone! honestly I really don't know how I managed it. I stayed on plan worked out the same as always for the most part and I have not been even losing a lb. So I was surprised and happy today at the scale.

Very well said!

Well, as Sandi said slow weight loss is better. So, with that said I joined WW on October 15, 2009 and I have averaged .9lbs a week according to my WW weight graph. My total weight loss at goal will be 71.2lbs. As most of you know my kids go to year round schools and are off every 9 weeks and we go away pretty much every break. I guess what I am trying to say is I have incorporated the plan with my life with many vacations and holidays. Although some people may be able to have loss the same amount of weight in a year or less I am happy with the fact that I have been able to live my life on the plan even if it took a little longer.
