Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[sjms71]

So after 2 weeks in Disney & a week of procrastinating about getting back on WW's I am back.

We had the QSDP (free) at Disney & I came back with a gain but I am not complaining because I ate what I wanted & was happy with that..I knew I would be up. So it's time to get back into the groove & get off the last 25 lbs or so.

Welcome back, go get those last 25

Oh, anything different at Disney I should know about? We leave in two weeks.

hi everyone
trying to get back into the groove of sticking to my daily PPV but struggling...no idea why just seems to fall apart every afternoon. So frustrating! Figures, as soon as I feel in control, I lose it again I'll just keep dong my best and it will click on again at some point.

No WI for me this Sunday as our meetings were closed due to Irene, but I know I'm up, just not sure how much.

Going to try Power Yoga tonight with DD...I've never done yoga (power or otherwise). Does anyone here do power yoga? What should I expect? Is it a good workout or more stretching?

Hope you all are doing well this week!

Can't help you with yoga, but let us know how you like it. Good luck getting back on track!

Just back from weigh in. Boy, it was good to be back after not having a meeting last week! Down 1 pound over two weeks, which I am pleased with, since I threw myself a MAJOR pity party last week, and ate everything in sight!

Yay! great job

I like your idea! Next year I plan on doing a bakery crawl. I'm going to eat as many cupcakes as I can and then do a cupcake report instead of a trip report! What do ya think of that idea?!!

I knew you would! That sounds so fun and good. I wouldn't be able to do that with family with their eyes watching me.

I haven't been on here much lately and signed up for WW online a few weeks ago and already completely abandonded it. Right after I signed up online, my husband and I got temporary custody of my sister's 3 children (long story but they are being railroaded by Children's Services after they took their infant daughter to the ER with bruises bc her 2 yr old sister fell on her). Hubby & I went from no children to a 2yr old and 5 month old twins. Needless to say, WW and counting points (heck even trying to cook a meal at home is an amazing feat these days!) has been the last thing on my mind. I am so bummed bc I was so excited about WW and now I barely have time to shower! I am so ready for our trip in a few weeks...hopefully we make it out of the room bc we are both beyond exhausted!

Wow I don't know what to say, I really hope everything works out for your family. But as Jessie said try to make small doable changes, healthy choices, portion control. Go on your vacation and enjoy. Hopefully when you get home things are less crazy and you can focus on you and get back on the program. Good luck, and even though you may not be doing WW full force keep us posted on what's going on or if you just need to vent.

Well...I'll probably share. I figure I should only eat half of each cupcake!

Remember a while back, I said I couldn't find any butter finger chocolate bars (in my whole province!) to make my mini version of Disney's butter finger cupcake? Well, I walked into the grocery store this morning and there they were!! Just little ones in a package of 8 for $1. I bought two packages but I was thinking that I should have bought more. Now, I'm going to have to make some cupcakes!!!

It's Monday, so how did our weekend challenge go? Saturday was a little tricky for me with no power. We went out to eat, but I think I did ok. Hope everyone was able to survive the weekend .

I did manage to survive the weekend. I decided that I wanted a decent loss this week so I thought that I wouldn't use any of my weeklies. By Sunday morning, I hadn't used any but the scale hadn't budged one bit so I decided that maybe I wasn't eating enough -- now there all gone (I ate most of them today) but my guess is that I will be up tomorrow at WI.

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

I missed my weigh in today. I didn't leave home early enough to stop in and I didn't want to make DS late for his swimming. I'll try again tomorrow.

Well, I did my WI today and I was up 0.6#. That's over a 2 week period of not doing a good job tracking; it coulda been worse. So, I'm rededicated to tracking this week and I'm pretty sure it's going to work.

My real problem lately is snacking after 8:00 p.m. I usually don't get home until 6:30 or so and, by the time I get in some exercise, I'm eating dinner at 7:30 or 8:00. If I could STOP after dinner, I'd be okay. But . . . that's when what DH and DD are snacking on after they ate dinner earlier than me looks too good to pass up. I need some major behavior modification and I think I'm going to have to pay DD16 to help me. She'll do almost anything for money, so it should work.

Why can't they snack before you get home and eat dinner with you???

Hey guys, Its been a rough few weeks. I've slipped into a bad habit of not tracking after dinner and done some mindless snacking. I've gained almost 10 lbs since my July vacation.

Today is September 1st and I am starting fresh. I have identified some trigger foods that I simply can not have in my house.

Today is a fresh start.

Hello my WW buddies. I fell off the WW wagon for two days celebrating my 47th birthday....but I lost .2 this week. I have one more day (Sunday) for my last birthday celebration and back on program 100% before my vacation. Hope everyone has a good week and keep thinking happy thoughts!

 

[Sandi]

We're all on different schedules. DH and DD16 are healthy and in normal weight ranges, so it's not really fair to ask them to change what they're doing to accommodate me. I can exercise control -- I've done it before. The last few weeks is when I got lax. We snacked on fruit last night, and DH ate his frozen yogurt in the dining room, so progress is being made.

Today is a new day and a fresh start. At least you caught yourself at 10 pounds Toni-Ann! We've all been there and the real winners are those who make a change at 10 pounds instead of throwing in the towel and letting another 30 pounds add on. You're going to be okay. Tracking really is the key, isn't it?

Happy Birthday! How nice to lose even if you felt like you fell off the wagon. Obviously, you didn't take a horrible tumble. Keep up the good work!

Oh Stephanie, that is so great!!!!! Yea you!!!! Three cheers for you

Are you walking on air now? How the heck did you lose 3.2 pounds at this stage? You are an amazing inspiration. So proud of you; I bet your family is, too.

THANK YOU!!!!!! I am walking on air for sure. Lots of protein this week and because I am home I worked out an abnormal amount cause well I really wanted to make goal this week. I did like 3 20 minute workouts a day. I know a lot and I normally wouldn't do that but I didn't think that much weight would come off. Next week our meeting site is closed and then I will be away.

After finishing my first week, where I carefully weighed and tracked everything, except for when I was away on my retreat I GAINED 1.2 lbs.

I'm sort of disappointed. I really felt like I was careful too at the retreat, I had a turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato, no mayo. But we did have pasta and meat sauce and it was hard to eye ball how much pasta I took. I was so careful at home as well.

I feel like I am doing something wrong, how can one bowl of pasta blow it? I'm so sad

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Oh my gosh!!! You did it!!! I'm so happy, I could cry!! That's a wonderful loss as well. Congrats on making goal! Will you be celebrating with everyone tonight???

Hi all,
I am not trying to hijack your thread here, but I have a questions for all you WW'ers. I was looking online last night and was trying to decided if I should join the online program, however I hesitated because the program has been completely changed since I was last a member.
So my question for you ladies is how do you feel about the new points plus program and do you feel that you are as successful with this plan then the previous version of WW'ers?
Thanks for any input! I desperately need to lose at least 50 more pounds.

Truthfully, I am struggling on Points plus. I lost 53 pound on the old program between April and Nov 2010. I lost 9 pounds since the program changed to Points plus Nov 28th 2010. I've since gained 10 lbs back.

Part of me has been seriously considering a return to the old program
