Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[BabyTigger99]

Woohoo, lots of successes this week!! Great job everyone!!!

 

[mlktwins]

All the great WI's are awesome!!! Keep up the good work!

I didn't post last week -- I'm not even sure I posted the week before. I think I was up .4 a few weeks ago, then up 1 lb the next week, down 1lb last week, and up 1 lb this week. I guess I should be thankful that I'm not just making big gains without any losing in there . I'm stressing about getting ready for the trip and Christmas and I eat when I'm stressed!

I am leaving for the World in 2 weeks and 1 day. I'm upset with myself that I'm not at goal like I intended when I started in June. I have lost 10 lbs and need 6 more to reach my 10% and probably another 10 after that to goal. I know I can do this so I'm going to work hard for the next 2 weeks, try not to overdue at Disney for 2 weeks, and then seriously get back on track and finish this thing!

I can say that it's hard I can't get out and walk for my exercise like I did during the summer. That is really hurting my efforts right now. DH needs to move my treadmill from our old house to our new house and I will be good to go.

Thanks for letting me vent and listening !!

Hope everyone has a good week!

Great job on the weight loss everyone!

It was my second weigh in today and I am down .8lbs this week but since I lost 6.6 my first weigh I expected a small loss today. I will take what I can get.

I signed up for my first 5k that will be on Thanksgiving, the Turkey Trot. I started Couch to 5k in Sept so that I could do this. I am usually awful about overindulging on Thanksgiving but this year am hoping to keep it under control and running 3.1 miles that morning is a great way to start the day.

SOrry but I need to vent too!!

Had a great OP day yesterday until I blew it by eating oh like 5 kit kats from my DDs halloween bag. They went down so easy and tasted so great but of course I regret it now!!!!!!

So disappointed......


Hang in there everybody

Hang in there everybody

This is a very tough time of year, I am having a little bit of a struggle maintenancing myself. Just hang in and try to muster through the rest of the year the best you can.

Though no one can make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending!

Keep goin you can do it!

 

[Sandi]

Good morning all!

Jadeblue13, great job last week on hitting that goal

Vickie, welcome back girl!

Our thread is slowing down , Jess, Sandi, Robin and Toni-Ann, hope you are all still hanging in there.


Have a great week everyone

Hey Stephanie, I'm here. I've just been really busy with work and have had to travel a great deal, so it's been hard to follow the WW plan as well as I'd like. I'm also HATING the time change. I know it happens every year and I somehow dealt with it last year, but I just am not in the mood to go for a walk or run after work when it is so dark out. I do okay on the weekends, but that leaves 5 days where I need to do better.

Love your quote there! I haven't done a WI in a couple of weeks because I've been traveling. I'm here today and am going to go face the scales. I think it won't be pretty, but I'm starting from now!

glad you are ok and still here. I do not envy you ( not to sound discouraging ). Work, traveling and having to exercise at the end of the day .....ugh. But I know if anyone can do its you, stay strong girl, I'm always thinkin about you.

Thanks for the quote ~ that is GREAT! Not just for WW but so many things in life. Love it!

I'm still trying to find a balance with Maintenance. Even though it has been several months, I'm still tracking (most days...I admit I've missed a few and have to go back and try to remember) and weigh myself each day to make sure I'm on track. So far, I've been able to stay within the two-pounds-over-goal range, but this morning for the first time, I am three pounds over goal. Not awful, but I do NOT want to let myself get out of control.

Congrats on the successes this week!! Only three more days of work until the weekend when I can again go running in the daylight!

 

[BabyTigger99]

Wow did I get a shock at weigh in yesterday...down 2 pounds!!! I never expected that big of a loss this far along in the process!! I now officially am the weight that it says on my driver's license!!! And, I am 10 pounds from goal...or, I should say, what I think my goal weight is going to be.

Even more amazing to me...my BMI is NORMAL!!!! When I started my journey in May, my BMI was 34.8, which put me in the obese range. As of yesterday, it was 24.9!! And, a quick calculation showed that I have lost 28.5% of my starting body weight!!!

Oh, and how did I celebrate?? Ate cheesecake!! But, I watched The Biggest Loser while I was eating it, so that balances it out, doesn't it??

Thanks. I'm always thankful for this thread on the Disboards. I had a gain at my WI today, but it was not unexpected. Still playing with the last 10 pounds (well, 9, but . . .). One would think I'd just get it done.

Okay, 3 pounds over goal is not out of control. You've been doing great on maintenance. You're going to be fine when next you WI because you are IN CONTROL!!!! And I totally know what you mean about running in the daylight!

Hey Everyone! I'm glad so many of you have had great losses lately. I'm down for the second week in a row! 2.4lbs today. My leader asked me if I did anything different this week. I told him, "Yes! I followed the Program!!

I'm spending the afternoon listening to Christmas music on the radio and making gingerbread cupcakes! DS is home in an hour so I have to get back to it.

Great job Jess! Christmas music......that will officially start for me a week from tomorrow as I am getting my turkey ready. Hey Jess, wanted to ask you, I have trouble with my pie crust every year. I know you bake a lot, maybe not pies but if you do any tips?

Just returned from WI...I'm up .4 this week. What scares me is that we have an office party on Tuesday and then Thanksgiving on Thursday....I hope I can stay strong!

 

[pinkxray]

GREAT JOB I have wanted to run a 5k but, well just haven't, good luck, we will virtually cheer ou on .

Thanks for the virtual cheering. I will need all the help I can get to finish.

I am terrified of all of the goodies that will be in our dept. next week. Every one always brings in stuff they have been baking and it will be torture not to try everything.

Good Luck, stay strong! Try to bring something WW friendly like a veggie platter, fruit tray (or edible arrangement,mmmmmm) that you can eat and not feel left out.

We are a week away from Thanksgiving

Just curious on what your plan of attack is? Will you skip weigh in that week, accept that you will gain or sticking with WW recipes to stay on points?

Normally I am the type that would just totally indulge and accept the gain that needs to be lost again. Not this year. I have another 10-15lbs until goal and I am determined to get there by the end of Jan. Not more slacking off for me.

However I will enjoy myself but take a few point cutting dishes to my mom's house for dinner.

I am going to remember that it is Thanksgiving DAY and not weekend or week. I will not partake in over eating all of the extras the day before or take any leftovers home for that weekend.

Thanksgiving Day will be a light breakfast, light lunch so that I don't feel starving by the time dinner comes. Usually I skip breakfast and lunch and snack on chips all day until dinner

I plan on eating all of my favorites and not really counting points but I will bring a veggie platter to alternate with the crackers/cheese,a jar of fat free gravy(not a big homeade gravy fan) to lower the points of the dinner and I will bring the WW Crustless Pumpkin Pie,topped with crushed ginger snaps and fat cool whip to replace the very point heavy pumpkin pie.

I will also be working out that morning to earn some activity points.

What are you doing this Thanksgiving?

I do bake pies, Stephanie, and my pie crust tip is buy frozen! Sorry I couldn't be more help. Mostly everything I bake is from scratch but I've always used a frozen pie crust. What trouble do you usually have??

 

[Sandi]

My plan of attack for Thanksgiving is to go to Canada where it will just be Thursday. DH, DD17, and I are doing our celebration without a food focus. Last year we went to Switzerland and I lost 2#. We reserve Christmas for families, but Thanksgiving is ours.

On the piecrust issue, Pillsbury refrigerated crusts are better than what I can do from scratch --- and much easier.

I am going to remember that it is Thanksgiving DAY and not weekend or week. I will not partake in over eating all .

What are you doing this Thanksgiving?

I am going to remember that it is a DAY!!! Not three days. I will stay on plan the rest of the week but will enjoy Thanksgiving, especially since my Mom is hosting. I might make a chocolate pudding pie to bring and I will use skim plus and the fat free cool whip.

My first leader gave us a strategy:

print up calendars for Nov and Dec and mark off the days that you know will be tough to stay OP: Chrstimas Thanksgiving, New Years and parties. Then you can work around those days by really staying OP the rest. It actaully worked well for me last year so I might do it again.
