Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[Alice_in_Wonderland]

Hi all, I am thinking about rejoining WW. I have never had much success with WW but there really aren't any other options. Can someone please offer me some advice about what caused them to be successful with WW? I really need some good advice!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say that I did my first 5k this morning!!!!

I started the Couch to 5k program in Sept and can't believe I made it all the way through. I am so proud that I jogged the whole way with NO walking breaks at all.

Whoo hoo for you !!! I started the Couch to 5K program about 3 times but never finished it. I think I got all the way to week 5 and then I got sick and that was it. I never got back to it. I know you'll be fine at your next weigh in .

Weigh wise it has been a tough weekend. So much holiday temptation but I have been jogging and doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Ripped dvd which is killer.

I am hoping to have any lose on Tues. but it will be tough to pull off. I think I should be happy if I manage to maintain this month.


Those butterfinger blondies sounds so good. I wish I never clicked on the link.

You go girl!! hope you have a great weigh in.

Hey there. I'm glad you're back . Having reread your blog, I have a could suggestions for your success with WW. First off, I would suggest that you commit to WW for a set period of time ... say 3-months. You seem to bounce around looking for quick answers everywhere and it seems that you don't wait long enough for the results to arrive. Secondly, set realistic goals. You seem to get disappointed when you don't lost 5 lbs in a week. That only happens on the Biggest Loser, not in real life. Lastly, you may want to consider the "simply filling" technique since you don't need to count points as much. If you already eat healthy foods, that may be an easier program for you.

Well, WW to me is the only realistic program. It allows you to really learn how to eat a healthy lifestyle and portion control. I can see how this may cause some to struggle with the program too cause you really do have the freedom to choose the foods you want within your points. Someone could eat all their points in snickers bars, not lose weight and say, I stayed within my points . Not to say you did this at all. I can see how something like Atkins can be "easy" to follow, this what you CAN eat and this is what you CAN'T. With WW you have choices how to use your points. And with free fruits now and they just came out with a PowerStart menu for a week which seems very easy to follow. The most important thing for me is the support. This thread and my WW meetings, you will stumble and fall along the way but it's the support that helps you dust yourself off and keep going . Hope some of my insight helped, its a great program, what the heck, you have nothing to lose but weight . There are lot of us on here that are beginners, doing the program a while and lifetime members so, if you have any other questions someone can help. Good luck, hope you give it another shot.

There is a light at the end of my tunnel!! I have hit the 130s, and I am 4.4 pounds away from goal!! We started a new session of At Work this week, so we had lots of new members. I gave out whatever tips I could to get people to be successful, because this is a program that I know works, as long as you put the work into it!

I'm up 0.2 today. I HAVE to be down next week!

 

[NC State]

I lost 1.4 this week. I didn't eat out, I stayed within my points and I went to the gym more. So I'm back to my 35.6 total lost! I'm not going to stress over the week of Christmas because come January, I'm right back on the program. Next Wednesday is my office party so I'm not sure if I want to weigh in...keep the positive thoughts they really help to reach your goal!

I'm right there with you Stephanie. I lost 1.4 this week, too. I seem to be back on track . . . for now.

Taking DD17 and her friend to Chicago tomorrow for the weekend. My sister is joining us. It'll be a girls' shopping trip -- part of DD17's Christmas gift. I know we're going to want Chicago pizza and other treats. I'm going to enjoy in moderation and not stress about it. I'll make sure to get exercise and hopefully won't do too much damage.

Attempting to stay on track this week! I may try Simply Filling and see how it goes for me.Today we learned other ways to be flexible within the plan- especially with the holidays coming.

Happy Holidays!

Hi all! Just back from 2+ weeks in Disney World. As of this morning, on my scale, I lost about 2 lbs while I was there. Not sure how that happened. Will probably gain it back in the next couple of days of home cooking -- LOL, but will officially start again with WI on Tuesday. Can't wait to hear about the new plan. My dad lost 8.4 lbs last week.

 

[NC State]

It was all the walking...I couldn't beleive it when I came home from WDW and I had lost too because I didn't slow down eating!

WOW everyone Great job, you guys are knocking it out of the park.

I however have lost total control of everything WW. Kids are home, been running around running errands and eating out, baking cookies galore and taste testing them and worse thing of all not exercising. Like I said I've lost total control of myself. Very afraid to get on the scale. I am getting a grip today, I know the holiday will be coming up this weekend but I will stay within my points this week and exercise everyday NO MATTER WHAT . Have a awesome week everyone!
