Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

Better week this week for me. I have eaten oatmeal each day and I didn't feel hungry before lunch, plus I walked four days this week. With all that, I lost 1 lb! This brings me to a total of 34 lbs off!

That's great Stephanie! Yea you. You have lost 136 sticks of butter. Wow!

 

[NC State]

Thank you, I do feel so much better. I have another 26 lbs to go, I wonder if I can do at times.

Everyone seems to be doing great here before the holiday season. I think it's great to go into the holidays on a high note - it should be easier to keep on going!

I do have a question on tracking. I've been an online member for quite a few months, but haven't really gotten my act together. So...I've made a promise to myself to start tracking again.

I love the way many foods come up when you type them in (and even some restaurants), but it looks to me like Arby's is not on there. Anyway, I ate at Arby's today for lunch and the sandwich that I had was 12 points. I went ahead and added it in the quick add with the 12 points, but while I was on Arby's website, I figured the points on a lot of their sandwiches. Is there a way to store these on my tracker for a quick reference when I eat there again?

It doesn't look like you can save a food that you add through your quick add as a favorite, so I wasn't sure if it is possible.

Thanks for your help. Everyone on here is so motivational! I weigh in on Wednesday mornings at home and I lost 1 pound this week, so I'm at least headed in the right direction, but I've got a long way to go!

Good job to both of you. Ski_mom, you should be able to put in the foods and save. I think once you are done putting in info it asks you if you want to add to tracker and I think you can exit out after that.

I wonder if I can do at times.

YES YOU CAN!!?

Keep up the good work everyone! I love the recipe reviews, some of those look really yummy.

Lost another 2lbs for total 10.8, I am .2 shy of my 5% - I am vowing to track better this week. (And avoid that darn Halloween candy my DMIL sent up for the kids-devil dogs and peanut butter cups )

weighed in last night and was up .2. I didn't feel too bad about it though because I have been in such pain with my back that I was comforting myself with food and not tracking. I have 3 ruptured discs in my lower back and have to wait until next Friday to get a spinal epidural which is supposed to work wonders. I really hope so, because I am walking with a cane and every step is painful. I am back to tracking today and hoping for a decent loss next week.

Hey Karliebug-

It is Friday! Just want you to know that we are thinking of you and hope everything goes well today. Hope you get some relief.

Let us know how you make out

Thanks so much! I went back in and see how to do it. I'm going to add some of the things that I look up so they'll be there next time I want to use them.

Thanks again!

My weigh in this past Monday was good. I lost 1.6 lbs! My total is 6.6 lbs in 6 weeks! The week before I did not lose, but did not gain either!

I have knee surgery coming up November 3rd...so i am not so sure how I will do the week following. It may be nice if I can't get to the fridge! LOL!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and great weigh in!

 

[cepmom]

hey guys...better WI in today; down 4.8 lbs Planning on another good week of tracking this week. Hope you all are having a good week!

CONGRATS! that is amazing!

 

[cepmom]

CONGRATS! that is amazing!

thanks lisajl, last weeks WI was extra high, partly because of excess water retention due to my cycle, but it sure feels great to see the 4.8 loss! I think my official gain last week was 5.6, so I got most of it back off again

 

[averill94]

Great weigh ins everybody ! Wish I could join you but I didnt even go yesterday.....First time for me (only other time was due to hurricane and being in WDW).

So before I go downhill -what is the policy? My usual WI day is Sunday. Can I go today or tomorrow and then go back to normal on November 6th?

I am pretty sure it is 1X per week ...does that mean any day?

Thank you
Margaret

Hey friends, Good luck to all with Trick-or-Treating tonight. We bought the candy last night and I had two mini-Baby Ruth bars already. DD17 and I purposely bought candy we didn't love (there is nothing I hate or won't eat ) and even that didn't work.

We have TOT'ing from 6:00 until 8:00 and by about 7:15, those kids will get a lot of candy because I want to be rid of it!

 

[sjms71]

Hope everyone survived last night. I did good ate only one tiny butterfinger. However, DD had a Halloween get together last night with a handful of her friends and somebody brought a bag of BBQ chips into this house. I didn't do to bad with them so all's good. Ok, so started something new, working out with kettlebells, oh man what a workout. Haven't been doing it long enough to notice anything but I'll keep you posted.

Cepmom,lisajl and jadeblue13, I don't think I congratulated you for your great weigh ins last week .

 

[BabyTigger99]

Well, I was a good girl last night, no candy for me!! But, after weigh in this morning, all bets are off!!

 

[lisajl]

down .6! I am happy! I wish it could have been more, but at least I lost something! A friend of mine lost 4 lbs! My sister lost 1.8 and made her 5% goal. So happy for her!

Maybe in two weeks I will meet my goal. With my knee surgery on Thur, I am not sure what exercising I will be able to do.

Good luck everyone!

great attitude it does all add up! That is awesome that you have friends and family on this journey too. Good luck on Thursday, don't stress too much about exercising. Maybe after a few days you can do some light weights with your arms and upper body.

 

[BabyTigger99]

Woohoo!! 1.6 pounds down yesterday, and I hit 55 pounds (well, 55.2 if you want to be specific!). I attempted running yesterday, and realized that I have no need to run, even if like a tiger was chasing me. It is NOT my thing!! I am more serious about adding strength training into my routine, and I would really like to be doing sit ups every day (my mid-section is lumpy).

My motivation for the week:
We had a lady at the meeting yesterday who hit goal. The meetings I go to are At Work, and very small (usually 8 people at the meeting, or there abouts). She lost...132 pounds!!!! Amazing!!! She has been at it for 2 years and 5 months, and she had no idea she even hit her goal! Last week she had a gain, and needed to lose 2.8 to hit goal this week, and she had said there was no way that was going to happen, because she had been within 2 pounds of goal for the last 6 weeks. So she stepped on the scale, and didn't even notice what the number said, just noticed that she was down, so she was happy, and our leader said "Mary, you just hit your goal!!" It was so awesome and motivating!

I had a crappy few weeks. My perimenopause symptoms are back and my weight loss has come to an abrupt halt. I have skipped 3 meetings because I'm up and I keep on thinking that I would go to a Friday meeting or next week's meeting and then I skip that too. *sigh* I promise to you and me that I will go to Friday's meeting.
