Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[Coach Rick]

Thanks so much for your advice on my cruise. Yeah, they do have many healthier choices now both in the parks and on the ship..My biggest worry is the lack of being able to get to my online tracker. Guess I will just have to do the best I can with the OLD FASHION way...

Biggest thing besides being down 6 is I feel great, more energy than I have had for some time now, and dog gone if my pants don't fit me better! Most likely I will still keep my tshirt on in the pools...don't want to scare the kids now

I will be sure to come back and visit and let you know how I made out...

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

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.

Hi Rick! You know, you could always purchase one of Weight Watchers little points clickers. It's discrete and easy to use. You dont have to write anything down, just adjust the arrows up or down when you eat something or earn activity points. You could also bring a couple of trackers that are available at the meetings if you would rather track on paper. Congratulations on those 10 pounds gone!

So...I faced the music today and I'm up about 5 pounds on my scale. I'm still on track and sticking to my points so we'll see how things look on Wednesday for my weigh in. I should probably confess that while I am up those 5 lbs, I enjoyed every bite!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

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

I just knew I wasn't alone on this!

Good for you! While I know that the gain can mess with your head, I'm so glad that you enjoyed yourself while eating the food, that it wasn't for comfort, or stress, or bordom.

I've managed to maintain this summer, no real losses or gains. I love having the kids home for summer break, but holy moses it messes with the daily schedule. I'm looking forward to them going back on the 24th, if nothing else, so I can get back into the swing of things!

Hope everyone is having a great day and a fantastic weekend!

Yep, I have a calculator on my smart phone, and I can shut off the transmitters and it still works, in other words, doesn't require to log into the ww server. So that will work just fine and I will put everything into a spreadsheet. Can you tell I really want this weight loss to stick this time?

My sister is on the cruise with us, and she is a certified cross fit trainer now, and big into the paleo diet program, which she has said is very similar to ww2, so I am sure she will help keep me on the straight and narrow...

Now, I wonder how many points plus a Bahama Mama is...

sounds like your sis will be able to keep you on track. As for Bahamas Mama about 6-7 p+ .

just back from WI and I am down 2.2 this week I had a somewhat challenging week as I went out to dinner twice, had cake for DD on Wednesday and had her birthday party with friends yesterday with pizza, more cake and loads of chips etc. I did have some of her cake on Wednesday but tried my best to estimate points for that, I declined the pizza yesterday(really a huge victory for me since I loooove pizza) and I declined her cake yesterday since it was store bought and not particularly wonderful.

Although I do have to admit, I had a quick taste of the frosting as I was putting the cover back on it, then decided I was going to have a *small* piece, but the cover was stuck on and I had to struggle to get it back off. After a few seconds of struggling to remove the cover, I had the sense to walk away from it and put it in the fridge in the basement for the night thank God for the stuck cover or it may have gotten ugly

Just in the past week I have really started to feel better. My accident in April really knocked me on my butt not only physically but emotionally as well. It sure feels good to feel back in control of myself for a change

So now I have .6 to go to meet my mini goal of losing 2.8 by next Sunday...wish me luck!

Great job you really hit a lot of obstacles this week too!

I love that you posted your pictures while wearing the same shirt. It makes it easier to see that amount of difference you've made. You've done a terrific job so far!

thank you yea my manager said it is better to use same clothing so that some clothes fit differently

i also tried for the BL they had a open casting call and i got a call back but he just wanted to tell me i would of been in but I didnt weight heavy enough and then he wanted to know my wt loss and he was so down to earth but kinda excited and took it as a compliment lol

so how was everyone's weekend?

 

[acf_1991]

Okay so I had my first official weigh in.. im proud to say I lost 3lbs :woohoo I as very nervous because since this Is my first time ever doing ww, I didn't think i was doing so good with tracking points and such and I wasn't eating healthy the whole time. (i ate out twice) but now that I see that I really can do it im even MORE motivated. This week im going to focus on eating breakfast every morning because that's something I don't do, and talk a walk for at least 30mins a day. thank you for all of everyones support and advice so far!

 

[NC State]

Woohoo 3lbs. Is great for your first week. Breakfast is a MUST!! I never ate breakfast. Now on WW it's one of my biggest meals. I find if I eat a really good breakfast my entire day goes well. Good luck this week.

I had a bad weekend...I ate non stop...so glad to be back at work!

Sorry you had a bad weekend. It happens to all of us. Get back on track today, up your water if you can and if you can add a few minutes to your workout too. Don't beat yourself up over it, you've done so well Steph. .

weekends are so hard! Hang in there...hope today is a better day

 

[sjms71]

I had a pretty good weekend, at least much better than my food frenzie last weekend . My 6 year old niece was here since Wednesday and went back home yesterday, so that kept me very busy. I managed to also workout everyday so I am REALLY hoping for a good weigh in this week {fingers crossed}.

I'm back from my WDW trip and don't have a countdown ticker anymore. Boo hoo. DD16 and I are going to have to do something about that!

I think I'm going to wait to step on the scale at my regular WI at WW on Wednesday. I think there is a gain in my future, but boy did we have fun playing and eating. Our TS meals included Le Cellier, Prime Time, Via Napoli, Tokyo Dining, Teppan Edo, and Boma. All were delish! I'm proud to say that I only cleaned my plate at Le Cellier (yes, that's the kind of success I'm proud of now -- pitiful, huh).

Well, a ton of work is waiting for me. Here's to a great week. I'm jealous of all of you going to WDW and/or cruises in the near future. If you have extra room in a suitcase, I'd like to go along.

Welcome back to the real world. Sounds like you had a great time. We love Le Cellier, it's my kids favorite place too. Question, was the tiki room in soft opening? If so, did you go and how was it?

We expected that the Tiki Room would be in soft opening at least a day or so before today, but we did not find that it was. We went over there a few times to see if we could sneak in, but it was not to be. We really thought we would luck out yesterday with it; they were working on last minute touches and the CM we talked with said that he didn't think they'd be doing a soft opening for guests at all. (Not sure that he was in the know, but . . . )
