Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

Another reason to subscribe to the e-mails. Even though we all know everything about WDW, it's always fun to read about it. Since Disney is what originally brought us to the DisBoards and WW is our common denominator, I thought I'd post the link to the article (not sure if you need to be a subscriber to read it).

I didn't WI last week, but am down .8 lbs from 2 weeks ago. Now if I could just keep it off for the next 2 weeks I'll be good .

Off to the World on Thursday so have a great couple of weeks everyone. Can't wait to hear about the new plan. The leader teased about it today .

Holy cow!! Just back from weigh in, and I am down 2.2 pounds! Guess all that Black Friday shopping really burned off my Thanksgiving. Well, not so much the meal itself, because I was pretty good, and took small portions. What got me was the dish of nuts that was sitting next to me as we were watching the Packer game!! 7.6 pounds from goal!!!

Thanks for the link. When I went to WDW back in Sept, I didn't pick the "lighter" meals and I still lost weight. It was all the walking I did at WDW.

I'm going to be up again this week. And there's no justification for it again either. I even still had a couple of my 49 points left!

Things better improve this week or I just might have to bake something!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Up .8 this morning.

 

[NC State]

Wow, I'm thankful that Thanksgiving has come and gone. I enjoyed it way too much; however, I looked at it as ONE day and one day only and I lost 1.6 lbs this week! I'm at a total of 35.6 lbs total lost so far! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and keep those positive thoughts.

I was a little surprised this morning that, when I went onto the WW foodtracker, I was informed that my daily PP value was decreased. Yea! (There was a lot of sarcasm there my friends.) I now have 3 PP less per day. Maybe that will shake things up for me so I can get rid of the final 10 pounds that have been haunting me for the last several months. I kind of wish the computer would have waited until after my meeting next week when I would have gotten the background for the changes -- and what other changes are coming.

Do you think this is part of the "new" points system for next year?
Interesting...

Well, I am back up..Yuck. But, not as much as I thought I would be.
Still trying to work up my walking, my knee is giving me heck. Going back to knee doctor on Wed. and hopefully he will tell me what is going on.
I know it has only been 5 weeks from surgery..but come on!

You can still wait for your meeting next week, Sandi! You dont have to start today. Just pretend you dont know yet. But you're right -- maybe this will help you with those last 10 lbs.

HELP!!!

I can't stop thinking of warm, chewy, soft and gooey fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies!

Wasn't that a treat? I'm so HAPPY I have 3 points less per day. NOT.

I know, right?

Maybe I'll take Jessie's advice and pretend to not know. (Of course, I think all the pretending is what got me into this mess.)

Look at it this way -- if it helps you lose, it's a good thing, right? I was always excited when my points went down on the old plan because it meant I was losing weight and that was the whole point of being at WW in the first place.

 

[cepmom]

Hang in there guys until your meetings next week...the point change may not be as bad as you think.....

 

[pinkxray]

Add me to the list of those who lost 3 points

We were told that we can stay at the 29 as long as we have been happy with our weight loss so I am sticking with the 29 until I get to a point where I stop losing.

I am not worried about it. I rarely use all of my weeklies and never use my activities so even if I do change to 26, I will just be using more of those which means I would still be eating the same amount anyway.

Was everyone's daily points supposed to change? Because I'm still at 29. Very intrigued by the new program, and I was down 2.2 today!

Hope all is well -

Hi All! I'm new here - glad to find a WW thread, although the thread is HUGE and therefore I haven't read much of it yet. Background on me, I'm 35, 2 kiddos and married. Live in the Pacific NW and work full time. I started WW on Sept 18th and I'm down 25 lbs so far. Loving the program! Have our very first trip to DW in late March, so hoping to lose another 25 before then.
