Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[cepmom]

had 3 bad days...Sunday I don't know what happened but I overate(but stayed within the weekly points so I was ok with it) but Halloween night and last night?? Ugh!So much candy! I asked the girls to put it out of my sight, which they didn't and I started picking. I just got home from work and put it all in their rooms with the doors shut. I am determined to stop this today, and not let it snowball the rest of the week!

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!

congrats!!

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.

hang in there Robin! Perimenopause sucks

 

[cepmom]

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!

congrats! good luck on Thursday!

I'm in the same boat. Which one of us should paddle and which should steer? We need to find land SOON!

What a surprise I had at the scale this week. I lost 1.2 lbs! I'm now at a total of 35.2 lbs with 25 lbs to go! Two weeks on oatmeal for breakfast and watching the sweets worked this week. I even went out on Friday night to Outback but I didn't go over my points! I only got to the gym one time so I know I got to do better next week. Keep the positive thoughts...it really helps!

Good Morning ladies!! Went to meeting to find out we didn't have a meeting again, but we did have a weigh in. I was up 1lb from 2 weeks ago but still within my 2lb range so all's good.

Jess and Robin, sorry you both are struggling a little, Jess you can still do it and robin periomenopause just stinks and screws you up so it may be out of your control. As long as you are tracking and staying on plan that's what matters.

Stephanie, great job on your weight loss this week here's to the next 25!

I broke my promise. I'm not going to a meeting tomorrow ... because I went to one today! I was ... get this ... DOWN 1.8 lbs. Who knew? That's a great loss for me, even over 3 weeks as I average about 1/2 lb per week. And the topic was very appropriate for me. It's about not letting the number on the scale get you down or to make you think you "got away" with something. Which is EXACTLY what happened to me. I stood on the scale on the morning of my weigh-in for the last 2 weeks and the number was not what I wanted so I ducked the meeting hoping that it would be better "next week". I KNOW that doesn't work so I don't know why I do it *sigh*.

Anyway ... my leader had given people a challenge last week to keep off your home scale for the week. I am thinking about trying it this week even though her challenge is over. Is anyone with me?

OK..I'll give it a shot. You may have to remind me though because I get on about 4 times a day.

Congrats on such a great loss!

Awesome job robin, this is the boost you needed . Challenge excepted, I'm in , no scale for a week.

It's a "snowtober miracle"........that I only gained 1 lb. this week.

Had a wedding on Saturday-harrowing ride to the reception in the snow with tree branches falling all around us followed by an open bar and yummy food-then no power at home for 4 days-lots of eating out.

I'm not worried-I will be tracking this week. The one plus side was that trick or treat was the night of the wedding so no candy in my house to tempt me. My daughter got to go to a halloween dance so she had a lot of fun without all the junk food.

UGH- this is so hard for me too!

Congrats on all the losses and congrats to everybody still working it!

I have not been motivated at all lately.....missed last weeks meeting and have not stopped eating candy ALL week.

Going to meeting in 1/2 hr.

Really not going to be pretty.

 

[averill94]

Face the music time..... I still did not look at my book but I was told that I am up 2. Unfortunately that was a relief I was expecting 4-5!!!! (Well maybe the total is higher since I gained 1 3 weeks ago)


So here I am again - motivated to have a great week AND to take the no scale at home challenge. This will be tough.


Heres for getting really honest: about a month ago I finally found the bakery 3 towns away that makes these incedible pretzel rolls. They are pretty small but at the time I didnt even eat a whole one because I was really tracking. Fast forward to to a week later I went in on a Sunday afternoon to get them for dinner "Sorry sold out"
Yesterday I was there by 8:15AM- "Sorry they wont be out until 11:30" ?!?! Really, is somebody tring to send me a message or what!

I am done with getting those pretzel rolls.

I had a rocky weekend. We tailgated on Saturday with wings and light beer (although I rode my bike to the game and counted the AP!) on Saturday and drove to Chicago to see my mom. I ate "out" for lunch and dinner and ate a salad for lunch and then at Panda Express for dinner. I *just* remembered as I am writing this that I could have gone 50-50 on fried rice and the veggies for my side. I only ate 1/2 the rice so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I had one of their "Wok Smart" entrees to balance out the "Golden Treasure Shrimp" which were breaded. I didn't know until I started eating them and they were too good to not eat. Next time I'll get 2 "Wok Smart" entrees as they are under 250 calories each.

Anyway ... I have not stepped on the scale! It calls to me every morning, but I ignore it. I don't know if I will have a loss since I was unable to track as well as I would like to have.

averill94, hang in there! I admire that you went to the meeting even though you knew you were up. I did not have that strength last month.

Had my knee surgery on Thursday. Did not make it to weigh in tonight.
Will have to wait till next week. Weighed myself and have lost 1 lb. That is a good thing. I know I have lost because I can WEAR MY WEDDiNG RING again!
Hopefully will make it to next weeks meeting.

I just rejoined WW last Tuesday and have my first weigh in today. I have done WW before online but seem to lack the motivation doing it myself. I am hoping by going to the meetings and getting weighed in will help me.

I am so nervous about trying to start WW again right before the holidays and hope sharing with others will make it easier.

I tried it online for free and it did not motivate me either. There is something about being in a room with others trying to lose weight, just like me.
If someone loses .4, we cheer, if they lose 2.4, we cheer. It is nice to have that support. I did not go last night due to my knee. I am hoping to drive over tonight and at least get weighed. I am anxious to see if I really did lose another pound.
Good luck to you! You can do it!!

WELCOME! I joined right before the holidays too. That's how I knew I was serious this time. Wasn't waiting until January . Good luck!

Hope everyone is staying strong with robin's challenge not to step on the scale.

Just back from weigh in. Down .6 pounds for this week. It was about what I figured it would be. Can't complain, though. In looking back at my weight record, the last time I lost less than one pound at a weigh in was October 4th. As of right now, I am 12 pounds from goal!! I was hoping to make it by Christmastime, so that probably isn't going to happen, but I should be close!! I am hoping to reach my goal by youngest DS's second birthday the end of January.

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Hope everyone is staying strong with robin's challenge not to step on the scale.

Ooops! I forgot.

 

[sjms71]

Ok, it's way to quiet on here lately . Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday.
