Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

Does anyone know how many points a Kaki Gori at Epcot might be? Trying to find loew point snacks and meals since we are on the dining plan (free) for our next trip.

According to eTools a snow cone is 3 points. The Kaki Goris are pretty big, so I might go with 5 points.

That sounds like safe guess, thank you. I try to keep my snacks to 2 or 3 points but I'll make an exception in Disney. Does anyone know of a list or web site that estimates the Points+ for meals and snacks at WDW? I did read the WW article that suggests different meals and snacks including a Dole Whip, Citrus Swirl and Smoothies.

Thank you Jess for the recipe. I'll let you know when I make it!

I think I need to go back and eat like pig at Disney. This week I didn't go over any points, but I didn't do any walking except for 30 mins at the gym. I lost .2 lbs this week when before a week after Disney I had lost 1.4 lbs. I'm at a total of 33.2 lbs. I guess it goes to show you got to get up and move to lose!

Sometimes there is no reason to why we lose or don't. I can have a week where I do everything perfect and only lose .4 or I can have an "off" week and be down 2lbs. You are going in the right direction, great job

Hi everybody. I weighed in tonight. I'm down another pound. That makes it 10 pounds in 3 weeks. So far, still loving this program. I am making a commitment to move more this week. I have not been exercising at all.

Woohoo keep it up

 

[sjms71]

am down .2 this week. Not much, I started doing kickboxing this week so thought it would be more but it wasn't meant to be I guess. Still within my weight range. Entering my last week maintenance . So, providing I don't have a major gain this week. I will officially be a lifetimer next week . I still want to work on losing a few lbs so I don't have to stress so much over the upcoming holidays. I even got to fill in the paper work today so it's already for next week.

Hello, Everyone. I am back again. Haven't been on this thread in a long time. I lost 30 pounds last fall on WW only to gain most of it back. I just can't seem to stick with it. I re-joined last week and have lost a few pounds so I am getting back on track. I really don't have a support system at home so I am hoping you girls (and guys, if there are any) can be my support.

That's wonderful! So inspirational. I really hope I get there some day. Congratulations! You must be so proud of yourself!

I will officially be a lifetimer next week .

Whoo Double Hoo! I can't remember, are you just starting your maintenance? My leader said last week that a new Lifetime member had to maintain their weight no more than 2 lbs above OR below their goal weight for some number of weeks. That was to discourage people from picking a goal weight that was too high.

Yes, I have to maintain within 2 lbs above or below for 6 weeks. Next week will be my 6th weigh in so official lifetime. It will be my 2 year anniversary almost to the day too. I joined 10/15/09. I hit goal a week before I left for 2 weeks of disney. I was about 1.4 below goal at that time. Due to vacation I am 1.4 above but within the 2lbs. I really want to lose another 3-5 below goal weight by the holidays if I can just to have a buffer.

Also, robin, glad to see your mom is doing better. Hope the transition of going home is ok after all this time and everything that has happened. Glad you are back too .

Welcome back Karliebug! Great to be back on track. For me going to meetings is so important because there isnt ANY support at home.
Have a great week

You know, I agree with you somewhat. Although I've found that I tend to lose more on weeks when I eat more, whether I move or not. I think that's because I usually don't have a big appetite, or fall asleep too early, and eat less than I'm supposed to. If it weren't for a glass of wine, I wouldn't make my minimum points most days!

Good luck next week! You can do it! When I tell people that I'm lifetime, they do a double take since I'm not at my goal weight, so now I've stopped telling people that.

Well, I'm down another 1.5#. Not much, but I'll take it! I have a busy day ahead. First, I have my DAR meeting, then I'm off to my daughter's college to spend the day and stay over night with her. I'm so excited! However, due to her living in a house this year, not having a never ending food supply, having to cook most of her food, and not begin able to afford to eat out all the time, means that she already has planned for us to eat dinner at a highly recommended local place. I checked the online menu—what little there is—and it doesn't look good. They have fried Oreos. Oh well, I can be good. Fried Oreos don't even sound appetizing to me

Have a great weekend everyone!

Welcome back! Try not to think about what you loss and gained back. What's done is done. It's not always an easy journey but you can do it .

Just back from a run/walk. Gotta hate my short stumpy legs. There was a tall long legged woman at the park who was just walking at a slow even pace. She lapped my like 3 times, and I was running some of the time!

Hey, don' sell yourself short, who cares if she lapped you. What matters is you were out there moving, great job .

 

[Disneylvr]

Another 3.2lbs gone! 12.2 since I joined on 9/17.

 

[jadeblue13]

Well, had a short week weigh in due to a death in the family - lost 2.4 for a total loss of 9.2 Unfortunately with the traveling to the funeral, stress eating,etc I think I have gained some back. We shall see. I'm trying to get back on a healthy schedule of eating and tracking points. TTFN

sorry to hear you had a death in the family. However, great job on the 2.4. Ya never know maybe you didn't gain it back, drink lots of water .

As for me one weekend day down and my eating was spot on. It's just me and DD this weekend. She wanted Chinese takeout this afternoon, so I ate at home and took her to order what she wanted. I can't believe I didn't cave when I got to the restaurant. Let's hope tonight goes just as well and tomorrow too. Now off to watch Lion King 3D with DD!

 

[averill94]

Weighed in yesterday...down 1#! I will take it.

THis has been so slow for me but at least I am still on the road to goal and I have kept off 33 lbs.

This week will be my year anniv with WW!

 

[BabyTigger99]

So, I was in pity mode all week since my weigh in last week. Tracked in my head, but not on eTools like I usually do. Didn't put anything in my WISH journal. Had chips 4 nights (cookies, too!). Didn't exercise at all on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday...and now I have come to my conclusion!!! I was burnt out. I wasn't eating enough. I was being a miserable hag. Stepped on the scale this morning for a peek, and I am down at least a pound!! And, I am a much happier person!!!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

YAHHHHH! I survived Thanksgiving Dinner with the inlaws yesterday!!!!! I managed to escape dessert even though the food pushers were out in full force. My SIL brought a homemade chocolate 4-layer cake with custard on the inside and chocolate icing on the outside and it looked and smelled soooo good. I just knew that one bite would set me off and I would have eaten everything in sight until the end of the day tomorrow.

I didn't tell you but at my weigh in last Wednesday I was up 4.7 pounds and I did it in just 4 days. This week will be different.
