Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[msylvester01]

Good Morning everyone!

weight in today, down 1.2

I wish it was more but a loss is a loss. I am doing this with some ladies from the office and one of them is already down over 10 pounds! i WISH! I need the motivation to start exercising. In the past I try the full on workout videos, am sore the next morning and chicken out.

What kind of exercise are you doing for those just starting off? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for being here! I know we can do this together.

HEY! 1.2 is great! In fact, any loss is good. Congrats on that!

I am using my treadmill right now. I had knee surgery in November and still having issues with my knee. I think the treadmill is making the knee a bit better. I also walk up and down my stairs as I need to and even when I don't need to. I have a membership to an exercise place but they mostly do aerobics and my knee dr. does not want me doing that right now.

So, keep moving forward!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!

Thought I'd check in as here is much nicer than WW boards... Week 2 done and even confused about a LOT of stuff, somehow I've dropped 12.6 pounds ( no fainting, i have a LOT to lose)...

Tried to get an Essentials members kit from a store near me, and was told point blank that unless I converted my online membership and joined the meetings only, not even the meetings pas s, they can't sell me anything, not books, not food, not anything. They also didn't have anything related diabetes wise, " Don't you have a doctor for that?" Um, if that was working, i wouldn't be here and asking for help and playing for your program.

So I went shopping, but instead of chocolate i found these really neat containers for lunches. They're OGGI, called Chill and Go. They have a mini freezer pack that fits into the container, and the one I got was the 32 oz. size that has a separate 4 oz. dressing container, and the big container separated in three parts. There's even a fork and soon that snaps into the lid. Perfect for lunch salads!

Are you serious??!! You should have been able to make that purchase. Try another location. Anyone should be able to come in off the street and purchase products.

So how are Thursdays going for you? You dont post about that anymore. Let us know if you need our help.

How are things going with your son?

I love turkey bacon, it's only 1 pt per slice.

This is what I usually make, but DH was cooking and made the pork sausage links. I need to get something that DH and the kids will eat. I'm trying hard to find things the whole family can change to.

Congratulations on your loss! That is success! Losing between 1-2 lbs a week means you're doing it right. Lose too fast and it could mean you're not getting all you need to satisfy you.

My exercise has been shoveling snow for 30 minutes 2 days ago and I do the Walk Away the Pounds dvds. This is a great starting out workout for me while I try to get the program under way.

Congratulations on your weight loss! What a great start!
I'm glad you like it here. I do too! It's hard to navigate to the right boards online to get the help you need.

That's wrong that they turned you away. Maybe it's different manager styles at the meeting places. Is there any locations that you could try besides that one?



Today has been much better on eating. I will be grocery shopping in awhile after I finish up my list and menu for the week.

I found this and thought some of you may be interested. It's a Disney food blog on eating healthy at WDW.

http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2010/02/04/eating-healthy-in-walt-disney-world/

It gives healthy suggestions at some of the restaurants and gives the nutrition info on the Mickey Bar.

The Butter Finger Cupcake didn't get mentioned so I guess it's not healthy!

I'm here. Barely, but I am here.

I just can't seem to get my head back on straight. Gained back about half of what I had lost.

Just had to share my news. I was able to walk/run for 2.16 miles in 30 mins today, I can feel myself getting stronger each day!

Well, at least we have confirmation now. It was so unclear before.

Like Jessie said, let us know how we can help. It's good to see you post here again.

Ugh, still plugging along here. I am soooo close to goal, I don't know why I am sabatoging myself!!! Our at work meetings are still up in the air, and I think that is really really bothering me! My schedule at night is SUPER BUSY, and the at work meetings during my lunch hour were perfect. As of last week, we were 3 people short of getting our meetings back.

[BabyTigger99]

Woohoo!! Just got word today that starting next Tuesday, we will get our At Work meetings back!!!!!!

How are things going with your son?

Yes, been going to meetings I was up 1lb last week. Had a terrible weekend food wise again and got on the scaler his morning and I am up..........a lot . I am not really hungry but I have an increase in appetite like no ones business. TMI ALERT, I've been having spotting issues for months. Went to dr's and she thinks it may be a form of endometriosis or possible periomenapause. Anyway, she started me on a new medication the middle of December. I am thinking the medicine is just messing me up, I want to eat all the time, I'm tired, unmotivated to do anything. I go see her for a check up in like 3 weeks so, we will see. Adam is doing much better. He has stayed in his room and slept through the night since the beginning of December with no problems. Thanks for asking .

TONI-ANN: sorry you are struggling but glad you are still hanging in there. Sometimes we need a break from tracking and life but, we all know you have it in you to do this. We are here if you need us .

GREAT JOB!!!!!!

 

[sjms71]

In case anyone needs a little extra motivation like me

 

[kinntj]

Woohoo!! Just got word today that starting next Tuesday, we will get our At Work meetings back!!!!!!

That will be nice and convenient for you. YAY!

In case anyone needs a little extra motivation like me

Absolutely true! Some days you need extra motivation just to make it through.

Friday and Saturday was tough. I used quite a bit of weekly points to get me through. Sunday was a great on plan day for me and didn't use all of my points. I had 4 left and felt I didn't need those.

I'm trying to find more vegetarian meals to fit into plan. I don't think I could go full out vegetarian, but feel that I could help things along by eating a lot less. Beef is the first thing I'll cut out of my diet completely. I feel I really don't need it and neither does my body. DH still wants to eat beef, so I'll make him something once every 2 weeks for a treat.

Just started the WW online (not much a meeting type) and lost 3.5 in the second week! Always been active but finding my issue was with the portion sizes. Have had a few days where I'm absolutely starving, but also finding how filling a salad can be with just a couple ounces of fresh mozzerella cheese can be (the stuff packaged in water, not the bagged kind - and SO yummy!). Love the online boards/challenges too. They do really provide alot of support.

3.5 down, 23 to go!
