Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[sjms71]

I thought I'd share a recipe with you that I made for supper tonight. Here's the link: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Zucchini-Noodles-2/Detail.aspx?ms=1&prop25=33990108&prop26=WhatsCooking&prop27=2010-03-18&prop28=PhotoArea2&prop29=Photo_3&me=1

Zucchini Noodles. They were pretty good. I used 2t of oil instead of the butter and I didn't add the salt & pepper to taste or the Parmesan cheese (but that was just to save on points). We love garlic so I used 5 - 6 cloves. I think I've found a new way to serve zucchini!

Ooh thanks for posting. I have eaten a lot of zucchini this summer, will make this when I get home.

I'm down another .6 this week for a total of 30.8, I'm glad I'm losing but I feel like I'm spinning my wheels. I know I need to kick up my work outs. I'm keeping my positive thoughts and know that I'm on the right track.

And I'm exceedingly jealous. Good luck with your WI tomorrow!

Good for you! Was it less fruit?

Maintenance is going, it's very hard not to be in the weight loss frame of mind. I am trying to eat more points but having a hard time doing it, I know strange. The fact that this week has been very busy with getting ready to leave this weekend and several Dr.'s appts this week hasn't helped. Having some "girl" issues so had to have a ultrasound today and extensive hormonal blood work and everything came back ok. The only thing is I have a pituitary tumor and my levels are higher than normal so maybe that's it. I feel fine and glad to hear my ultrasound didn't show any problems with girly parts so no worries. Anyway, that all has preoccupied my mind all week. Can't bring myself to cut back on exercise either. My plan is to weigh in on Friday so I'll let you know how I did. Hope everyone else is having a good week.

I think it may have been the fruit. I really didn't do anything else. I'm cutting back this week again but I also plan to start weighing in wearing jeans from now on through the winter so there may not be as much of a difference next week.

How did you like the zucchini noodles???

Good luck with your WI in tomorrow. I'm happy that your ultrasound was fine and that you can go to Disney without having to worry about that. Pop in before you leave!

Great job Steph! Keep it up.

Oh man, yesterday was TOTALLY my cheat day for the week! Tailgate party at work, pizza for dinner, and chips and guac when the Packers were making my blood pressure raise at the end of the game last night!!! Back on track today, enjoying my oatmeal, and already planning a big workout at the Y.

 

[sjms71]

Back from my first maintenance weigh in and up 1lb. I think due to the holiday weekend. Kids were at grandparents so DH and I went out to dinner 2x's. I am 100% fine with the gain. I am still 1lb below goal. Hope I can control myself at Disney.

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

I'm sorry you're up, Stephanie, but you have 5 more weigh-ins to play around with. Were you given any advice at the scale today? Just wondering if you were asked to keep things the same or to adjust your daily points allowance at all.

Make good and healthy decisions while you are at Disney and stay away from the cupcakes. Are you staying on property with the DDP this time? I think you're leaving tomorrow but I could be wrong about that. Anyway, have a great time and we'll all be thinking of you.

Honestly, no biggie about being up. I know it was all the going out to eat and I am below goal still, but thanks. Ok, I went to a WW center location, everything is computerized so she didn't say anything about weigh in just stuck a printed sticker in my book. So, I didn't stay for the meeting just left I was looking at it in the car and the sticker has my weight, then +/- 0 and total 0?. So not sure what that means. Anyway, like I said no biggie I'll figure it out when I get back. Our trip is kind of broken up. We are staying off site for first few days. My kids don't get out of school till the 13 so that is when we are going to Disney property. A few weeks ago my husband said oh heck with it they get good grades let's pull them out and go earlier. So, after emailing all the teachers to make sure they wouldn't miss too much they are missing two days. They both made honor roll so that was good. They usually get out on a Friday but it fell different this quarter.

Hey there! I just found this great thread! I have been on WW for a month now and i'm down 4 lbs. This past week I gained .4 lbs. I didn't do what I needed to for the week. I need to kick it up with the exercise. I have a mini goal of 18lbs by Oct. 13 and feel like i'm struggling some to meet that goal. This week is a new week so i'll try harder.


Congrats to those of you that have lost this week. Keep up the great work! Those of you that haven't keep on pushing! You can do it!

Welcome! Keep up the good work. Are you doing online or going to meetings, and when is your weigh in day? Good luck this coming week.

 

[MAD4EEYORE]

Thanks! I go to weekly meetings. My weigh in day is Thursday. I also track my points online. Which is very helpful especially when eating out.

Is there a big difference between going to meeting or doing it online?

However you decide to do the program is a good step . I was just wondering. Personally I love the meetings and my weigh in day is Thursday too.

Hi MAD4EEYORE! Welcome to the thread. We're always excited when new members join. Congrats on your 4lbs gone! Mini goals are always great to have because they help keep us motivated and on track to the ultimate goal of reaching Lifetime. I think, though, that your goal of 18 pounds in 2 months would be a struggle for most of us. You'll need to lose almost 3 pounds each week from now until then to reach that goal. Good luck with your challenge but you may want to consider adjusting the terms of your goal a little. For example, last month you lost 4 pounds so why not do something like say this month you'll lose 5 pounds and anything more than that will be a wonderful bonus!

I really enjoy going to the meetings as well and I weigh in on Wednesdays!

 

[MAD4EEYORE]

I love the meetings and have a great leader. I enjoy talking to the group and hearing about what they do. We have a lot of regulars and after the meeting we get together and go walking at the local park. I think if I only did WW online i'd get bored and discouraged. I also like tracking my points on etools. They also have some wonderful recipes. This week I made a key lime pie that has 5 points per slice. I was craving it.

cdnBuzzFan Thanks! I see what you are saying and it is a challenge. I know it may not be possible to lose that much but I need to push myself. I haven't been trying as hard as I should. My goal this week is to walk at least 15 mins every day and to drink my 6 glasses of water a day. I won't be disapointed if I don't lose that much. I leave on the 13th of Oct. on a cruise and would like to be down as much as I can between now and then. Whatever number that may be as long as I know in my heart I tried my best.

It is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL September day!! I will absolutely be headed out for a walk this afternoon. Went to DS's football game, cleaned my family room carpet, and now just watching a little Badgers football while I have some lunch. According to my scale at home, I am gotten rid of the pound I gained from the huge amounts of game day food I ate on Thursday. I am really hoping for a great loss on Tuesday. My goal would be to get into the 150s!!

 

[Sandi]

Wow, have we ever gone a whole day without any posts? Sunday was tough for me -- actually, the whole weekend was a bust. But, I think I scratched a few itches and am back on track today.

Hope you all had a better weekend than I did! Here's to a great week. I hope we hear from Stephanie while she is on her WDW trip.

Hang in there Sandi, I know you'll have a great week.. I didn't make the best food choice yesterday but I did walk 10 miles. Yeah, my family loves carrabbas, so bad for you. I usually get chicken but got my favorite pasta and almost licked the plate clean . We were at epcot yesterday and it was DEAD. not sure if it was cause it was 9/11. Anyway, at MK today. I will report later. Have a great week everyone!

I came over to the WISH board to ask a question and found this thread!

I started with WW on May 28th and have lost 27 lbs. I do the online version and really like it. Many, many years ago, I did the meetings and felt like it was one more thing I had to do. I really like the online version and feel that it is just what I needed.

I have some pretty severe neck issues (had surgery and a year and a half ago but it didn't work - will be having surgery again soon) so it limits my exercise. I read about a Leslie Sansone indoor walking video on a thread here on the Dis and acquired one. It's been a big help.

Now to my question, can anybody who is using the online version tell me where I can find my ultimate goal weight (meaning when I'm ready to begin maintenance)? I know it showed it when I first signed up, but I can't find it on the site now. I know they probably want you to focus on the short term goals, and that's great, I just want to remind myself of what the ultimate goal is.

Thanks for any help!
