Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[lisajl]

Had weigh in tonight and DOWN .4!!!! Hooray!
I did not think I would lose over Christmas, but I tried very hard not to over indulge.

Good luck everyone!
down to 169---want to be 140.

 

[BabyTigger99]

Oh my gosh!! Lost 1.4 this week!! I figured I would get enough to hit 65 pounds lost (I was .6 away from it), but man, I CRUSHED IT!! I think what might have helped with such a big number was that I ended up going to Zumba at the Y this morning at 5:45, which I never do. I had been wide awake since about 4:15 in the morning, so I figured why not! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend my regular at work meeting, because our leader had a family emergency over the holidays, so she had to cancel the meeting today. So, now I will share my joy with my at work group next week. Two pounds from goal!!

That's FANTASTIC!!! Go! Go! Go! Go!


My WIs on Friday mornings, and I've avoided the scale this week (where I'm usually an every-other-day kind of gal). I indulged more than I would have liked but enjoyed myself after nearly a YEAR on WW and being "good". It was a wonderful Christmas, and I'm not going to beat myself up for what I'm sure will be a gain. Fingers crossed it isn't a "WHOA"!

A very happy belated Merry Christmas to all ~ best feet forward for a successful New Year!

Well, it's finally beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. We got snow last evening and today it's absolutely freezing outside.

I don't think I posted last week but I was down 2.7. Today I was up 0.2. Not too bad considering some of the gains that I say at the scale last night when I worked.

BabyTigger99: Congrats on being so close to your goal. I hit my goal around the middle of January; maybe you'll hit yours next week!

Have a great week, Everyone!

How did YOUR weigh-in go yesterday...??

How did YOUR weigh-in go yesterday...??

ok I started to type a entire dissertation on my holiday or should I say holi-week and my iPad glitches up and blanked out of the screen . Anyway, I was up a lot, lets say +5 . I hope a lot is water weight. I retain a lot of water when I don't eat right. There just was too much yummy food around. Plus I swear my MIL tries to sabotage me, I am smaller than her now and I think she is jealous, whole other story. She made all this food that only I like not my husband or kids just me. However, no one made me put the food in my mouth I did that all on my own. Thank goodness new years is a nonevent for us. I have been back on track this week since Tuesday, which was brutal. Man oh man. Had a migraine all day was sick to my stomach and I had a little kidney discomfort but I am fine now. I just get mad at myself for going back to old habits, eating like every bite would be my last forever. Ok dissertation over, so proud of everyone that was able to stay in control.

Had my first WI in two weeks today - I was up 3.8, and totally expected it. Haven't been following program, the holidays, and the passing of the daughter of one of our friends just took it right out of me. Definately back on track now, looking forward to getting to goal in 2012 - so close now!

Hope everyone is doing well and has a Happy New Year - I don't post on here often, but read it almost every day - everyone is very inspiring to me!

I am planning to start WW for 2012. My first meeting will be next Tuesday. In my town, there are two group leaders. One does Tuesday meetings including a 5:30pm one, and the other leaders does two meetings on Saturday morning. I was planning to get the $39.95 monthly plan where I can go as many times as I want, plus get use of the internet site.

QUESTION: Would you go to both meetings to check out the different group leaders? Does anyone ever go to two meetings a week?

I tried WW many years ago, but am definitely out of the loop now. I need to lose over 100 pounds. And, learn how to exercise

Thanks for any assistance, Cindy

Thank you! It went well - down 1.6! I haven't been very good since then though...need to get back to it!

I would definately go to both meetings - that's exactly what I did when I joined. The first meeting I went to was okay, the leader was fine, and the group was nice. But, the second meeting I went to the leader just blew me away with her insights and personality, and the group there was so amazing and welcoming. I hadn't even planned on going to the 2nd meeting, but the original meeting I went to was sold out of the items I wanted to purchase, and the receptionist told me that if I went to the other one, I'd be able to buy what I wanted.

I'll occasionally go to two meetings a week - sometimes if I really need to have a refresher on what was said, or if I can't stay for a whole meeting, I'll go to the second one.

Good luck to you - you can totally do this! The support here is wonderful, and we've all been there. Can't wait to hear about your journey!

Welcome Cindy I also would check out both meetings to see what would be the best fit for you and the monthly pass is the way to go. We only have meetings on Thursday in my town so I only attend one but I got lucky cause I have a great meeting. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Great job with the losses! To anyone who gained, keep on tracking and doing your best.

I didn't post last week, gained 1 lb before Christmas and then cheated and had the stomach flu after Christmas so lost 1.4 for total 14.4 lost.

We had a great time last night with friends at a family game night- I ate lots of little goodies interspersed with lots of veggies then blew it today with our traditional pork, sauerkraut and spaetzle-YUM!

Best wishes for great weigh ins in 2012!

Hello all! I'm hoping you can help me with something.

I love weight watchers, I do really good with it when I follow it diligently. I want (need) to go back but due to health issues I am now on coumadin. Because of that I have to be very careful about my Vitamin K levels, which of course consists of leafy green veggies. So salads and veggies I have to be very careful about. It's a bummer because I eat a lot of salads and love my veggies.

Anyway, I came a cross a great website for people who want to diet while on coumadin. It has great recipes and will even construct weekly menus and shopping lists. When I put the nutritional values into a WW calculators some of the recipes had kinda high point values. Problem is, with the new system I don't know how many more points I would get compared to the old system. I can't find one of my old points calculators to do a ratio comparison. Did you find that when it went from the old system to the new system your daily points value increased a lot?

I'm trying to figure out which way to go. Thanks so much!

Ok--so last week I was down 0.4 lbs and this week....down 1.4 lbs!!!

Hooray! I am back on track. So I am back at 11.8 lb loss.
I have 5.6 lbs to lose for my 10% goal and 22 beyond that to meet my ultimate goal.

Ok...so here we go...1 pound at a time!
