Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

I am greatful my doctor and mother gave the okay to join weight watchers so wish me luck the goal is to go from 144 to 115

 

[NC State]

Well, I ate more fruits and raw vegetables this week. I lost 2.8 lb this week, which brings me to a grand total of 29.4 lbs! I'm half way to my goal and I feel so good about it!

 

[sjms71]

howdy everyone!! been a while since i posted on here and weighted in yesterday and gained .2 but kinda slacked off but now back in the grind and got 22 lbs to be under 200 which is my goal to be around by nov well hope everyone has a good week

Not a bad gain, good luck reaching your next goal.

Weigh in was yesterday, it was crazy busy at work and home, so I didn't get to post, but I am down another 1.4 pounds! Probably not going to make my goal of getting 40 pounds by next weigh in, but I am okay with that! Every pound is another pound gone for good!!

Way to go and great attitude!

Hi all...thought I would check in. So last week was my 6 month weigh-in...not very good timing since I just returned from 10 days in Montreal! I was very happy with a loss of .8. I guess it paid off to make choices between appetizers and dessert and using the hotel's gym every morning, plus all the walking!!!!!!! I have a pedometer...the one from WW and one day we walked almost 10 miles and I had 19 points! YIKES!

Anyway, I am almost half way to my goal. Total loss right now is 88 pounds. By next summer I want to be at goal, I'll be 50 July 2nd and we are celebrating with a two week trip to WDW! First 5 nights, just DH and I and then next 9 nights (5 more WDW and 4 at Universal) with my DD and DS (ages 21, and 17). I am so looking forward to it. DD and DS are having mixed feelings between having the house to themselves for six days and missing WDW for six days, lol!

Even though this will be our 8th trip as a family we are still so excited!

Have a good week everyone!

P.S. If you like coffee flavored ice cream try the WW Giant Latte bar...only 2 points and sometimes I push it off the stick into a bowl and add different fruits. I feel like I am having a sundae!

Wow 88 lbs is very impressive, keep it up, you can do it.

You should feel good Stephanie, great job! As they say "if you kind of do it, it kind of works. If you really do it, it really works!"

Great Job Toni-Ann

 

[sjms71]

Back from weigh in and managed to be down .4 . After last weekends binge eating I am shocked I am not up. Hope all other Thursday WI's are good.

Sandi Hope you are having a great time. Can't wait to hear all about your trip.

Jess We haven't heard from you in a while so hope you are hanging in too!!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

I can always count on you, Stephanie, to miss me when I'm gone!

We went to my mother's in Nova Scotia for a week and just got back yesterday afternoon. Havent faced the music yet. Maybe I'll get on my home scale tomorrow. I'm back on track at the moment today anyway which is a good thing. My meals for the week are all planned out and I just got back from the grocery store so I have no excuses!

We had connecting flights to Ottawa both ways this time so I spent a lot of time in airports during our two travel days. Those toilets that flush automatically stress me out!

 

[cepmom]

hey guys....quick question! I am meeting friends tonight for Thai food and I have no idea what to order that is WW freindly! I never go for Thai food and don't even really know what to expect. Anyone have any good suggestions? I am not fussy about food for the most part but I do want to make the best WW choice possible. Help!

I've never eaten Thai food but wont the restaurant have a website with the menu and the nutritional information? You could try that. Let us know how you make out.

After I posted, I said to myself Oh wait I think she was away to her mom's. I am sure the scale won't be bad and I have no doubts you'll stay on track!

website, yes; nutritional info, no. one good thing....the woman that chose this particular restaurant is a WW'er and just became a Lifetime member, so I am depending on her to help me choose the right stuff! I always like to have some sort of idea before going in though too.

OMG Stephanie, after reading some of your posts, I was afraid you'd have a gain. You worry too much. Good job.

WDW is wonderful, but I'm totally not tracking and am eating too much. The good thing is that we're getting lots of exercise. So far, we've done both waterparks and are heading back to Typhoon Lagoon tomorrow. I've also managed to run a couple of mornings (which seems redundant with all the walking we've been doing).

Those toilets are all over WDW! They go off when they shouldn't and I hate that. So, I feel your pain Jessie.

There are a few Thai dishes that automatically pop up when you enter them on the website. Otherwise, you can ask the restaurant about the ingredients and do a fairly decent job estimating. I love Thai.

what happens when u go over your points bottom line I had a bad day food choice wise

 

[Coach Rick]

Ok, I just started WW's two weeks ago, first week I lost 5.4 pounds, second week, not so good, just down .6. I am panic'ed just a bit. I leave for WDW Tuesday, and the Dream next Sunday. While I feel fairly confident, emphasis on "FAIRLY" because I can track on my phone, but on the ship I will have no way to track...I so don't want to do what little progress I have made, but I don't want to be so concerned that I can't enjoy the cruise. I know with the wealth of knowledge here somebody will come along and settle me down.

SOunds like you are having an awesome trip! I ended up ordering a grilled shrimp with vegetables in a garlic sauce with brown rice on the side. No idea how many points but I think I am okay. It was so good!

what happens when u go over your points bottom line I had a bad day food choice wise

We all have those days....basically you just add up all yourpoints, if you go over your daily points, deduct the extra pioints from your weekly extra points and start again tomorrow. I hope today is a better day for you!

even though your second WI ws "only" .6, you are down 6 lbs in 2 weeks; an average of 3 lbs per week which is really good Going on vacation is always a little harder because you aren't preparing any of the food yourself, but you just have to do the best you can in making choices and estimating points values. The nice thing about a Disney trip is all the walking you do...it will really help to offset the eating out. Use the stairs on the ship whenever you can, walk deck 4, use the gym in the morning etc. On the buffets, take a walk through the whole line first to see what is available, then go back and make your choices. Eat enough to be satisfied, not stuffed. Good luck and have a great time!

Honestly, wasn't expecting a loss this week. As of Monday I was 6lbs up! I know some of that was water weight but didn't think I could recover from that.

 

[sjms71]

Well if I go over all my daily and my weekly points. I just wipe the slate clean and start fresh, do my best to move on and make healthy choices and drink a lot of water to flush my system out. Good luck, I had one of the worse weekends I've ever had since joining and I recovered .

Cepmom offers great advise and not sure if there is much I can add. Pick which meal you don't mind "splurging" the rest go easy. Try to keep your water up and squeeze in some exercise which should be easy with walking or swimming. Most of all enjoy yourself. Going on vacation is a part of life, WW is a lifestyle change. The important thing is when you hit that " bump in the road" you are able to pick up and get back on the program.
