Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

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.

There are stairs!! We moved some tonight. We had some stuff at DH's cousins house (she let us store some stuff in her basement for a little while) and over to my parents' house. We have been living in a little bitty place for the past 2 years during DH's undergrad years, so we needed to store some stuff elsewhere. It was hot hot hot outside!!! Coming out from inside feels like you are walking into a bathtub! Should be a very interesting weekend when we pack up the truck. Highs in the 90s and very humid.

Weekend coming up!!! Gotta stay OP this time!!

Don't forget to drink lots of water while you are moving. I bet you earn some nice activity points too. Good luck

It's Friday morning -- so the start of the weekend (well, in about 8 hours for me). I did a good job tracking on Wednesday and Thursday and have even tracked points for breakfast today. It's my "no excuses" week and hopefully that will show up on the scale next Wednesday.

I know our friends in Canada have a long weekend. What are we planning so we can stay on track for the weekend? I know there is one person who is never hungry on the weekend (do you sense my jealousy?), but for the rest of us, it's work.

Here's to a successful weekend!

Well, motivation is going to be my motivation! I was down on my scale this morning which I found very motivating so that's going to keep me motivated until next week. I cant weigh in on Wednesday so I'm going to try to stay motivated until Tuesday morning and weigh in then. Are we feeling motivated for the weekend yet??? I'm trying to send out motivating vibes this morning. Is it working? I'm making myself laugh, anyone else with me on that?

I am with ya, I agree with Jessie, motivation will be my motivation too!! Who else is with us?

Motivation is my motivation. Love it. You two are a couple of nuts, but you're successful nuts, so I'm following your lead. I'm hopeful our team will get bigger (meaning more people, not that we'll get bigger because, of course, we're motivated to stay motivated to lose weight).

Just think of your favorite snack you want to have next week at Disney and you can only have it or share it with your DD if you are really good from now until then .

Ooooh. That could work. No coconut ice pops from La Hacienda unless . . . You are so wise!

I see from your ticker that you will be going to the water parks, Sandi. Do you have a favourite one? We enjoyed Blizzard Beach the most last year. It had a lot quite a few slides that DS would go on.

My favorite is Typhoon Lagoon. I love the water coasters and the wave pool. But, I enjoy the Blizzard Beach family raft ride and the racing tobogans, too. I did Slush Gusher last time -- I just can't bring myself to do Summit Plummit. I have Premium AP because we like the WPs so much. DD has "plus" options left on old non-expiring tickets, so it's a relative bargain to go. Just thinking about it is getting me excited about our trip.

Maitenance is HARD, yo! Three weeks so far and holding steady, but I'm still learning how much I can eat and of what without the scales going nuts or just feeling bad in the gut (and not sitting well in my stomach). I feeling I'm doing well with continuing to eat healthy options which allowing myself some freedom and treats.

The Indiana State Fair (where I work) starts next Friday, and I'm going to wear my pedometer to see how much I walk during the day...like a mini-WDW! I've never been one to go nuts with Fair food, so I don't think that will be a problem. I'm going shopping tomorrow for the "Fair snacks" to keep in my office!

Have a safe, smart weekend of choices, everyone!

I read this this morning and thought I'd post here:

"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." This quote from Robert Collier

I know the weekend is tough for most of us, we are in this together and we can do it! Have a great weekend everyone.

 

[sjms71]

Hey Robin and Toni-Ann hope you both are doing ok. I think I can speak for everyone that we are thinking about you two.

 

[Twingle]

Quick question - I know that somewhere there is a list about what each loss is equal to - like a stick a butter, or a water bottle and what not. Anyone know where I can find it? Thanks!

 

[contempory4me]

I was on vaca this week and determined to be one of those WW members who lost, I did! down 1.8
At the meeting this week a woman was celebrating her 91st bday- are you ready for this.....she was also celebrating a 25lb weight loss! just thought that I would pass on that tidbit of motivation, has anyone motivated you this week?

Have a great rest of the weekend!!
Kate

just back from Wi and I was up .4....I am little disappointed, but if I am being honest with myself, I didn't track as well as I should have and my TOM started yesterday. I did walk a ton on the beach; almost 6 miles each day so maybe it's some water retention

Anyway...a new week and a new commitment to tracking each day!

 

[mrzrich]

Hey guys! Just got home last night from 5 days in St Augustine. Had fun, did a lot of walking. I didn't track very well and I'm sure I put on a few pounds. Back on track this AM!

 

[DisneyKim68]

Just got back from a 7 mile walk/run. Working on my training for the Tinkerbell 1/2. We finally got some rain last night, but that made it very humid this morning, yuck! I plan to put my aching feet up and watch Shark Week for the rest of the day, lol!

 

[Sandi]

Happy Monday all! Glad to see Toni-Ann is reporting in. We missed you!

Hey Kim, what a run/walk. 7 miles is great. How many long days like that do you do in a week? In the humidity, I'm just dripping when I get done, so I really feel like I've done something. Of course, my family points me to the shower straight away.

Here's to a good week for all of us!

Just one long one a week, and then around 30-50 minutes 4 other days of the week. I'm in AZ so I'm not used to humidity, but we do get humid for a few weeks each summer. I think I'd rather just have the heat!
