How was this week, Stephanie??

Hello everyone, still up 1.4 So, I loss 2.6 this week, I think. Which is good but I busted my butt and was starving with 26-29 pts. Hope everyone else has a good weigh in through the rest of the week.

TiggerFan have a magical time in DL, check in with us if you can.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Down .4 for total loss of 14.2 lbs.

I bought some jeans in sz 16-the button pins I bought were not holiding anymore for the 18s (too much extra fabric I guess)

I'm trying to get to 15 next week- for some reason I am fixated on this number even though my 10% is 23 lbs. I want a 5lb sticker for my book

Have great weigh ins this week! And have fun at Disney tiggerfan! We miss it already and were just there in early Dec.

Great job. You got both a NSV and a scale victory. I'm sure you'll get another 5 lb sticker next week. Isn't it funny how much those little rewards mean? It's like we're in kindergarten! I love them, too.

 

[BabyTigger99]

I love getting the stickers!! I carry both my old PointsPlus guide and the new PointsPlus2012 guide, because my stickers are all in the old one!!

So it's looking like I'll be losing another pound this week... However, this week has been one of those NSV's. My reason for losing weight was more for me. I wanted to feel good about myself and I'm getting to that point.

I started wearing some tank tops this week and I'm looking pretty good in them! Even though my scale is starting to go haywire, I'm visually seeing the results of WW and I'm feeling so much better!

So like I said... whether I've lost .1 or 3 pounds on Sunday for me weigh in, this week has definitely been a Non Scale Victory week!

Wednesday night before bed, I had one foot on the scale and before I could put the other foot on, I heard Sandi's voice telling me to get off!

You have to hide the scale Jessie!

...so I got off. I didn't get on at all yesterday and I was sooooo distracted the entrie day, it wasn't funny. All I could think of was what do I weigh today, what do I weigh today.

I'm going to try not to get on all week but it's making Wednesday seem like a month away instead of just a few days.

We've decided what to have for supper on Super Bowl Sunday.



Steak sandwiches and butternut squash fries! Still working on what to have for snacks.

I made the Green Monster Smoothie from the Skinnytaste website this week and it was really good! I was skeptical that a smoothie would fill me up and keep me from getting too hungry, but I was fine all the way to lunch time! I made it with powered PB instead of real PB which cut the points down to a total of 4 points for a HUGE smoothie. Here is the recipe: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/01/skinny-green-monster-smoothie.html

I am ashamed to say that I skipped my meeting this week. I just couldn't face the official scale when I knew that it would be up again. HOWEVER ... BabyTigger99 really inspired me by reaching her goal (what is your first name? I am totally spacing it out) so I have tracked the last two days including eating out last night.

I have a feeling you are not rooting for the Giants either

Robin, I saw that and it looked interesting. I'm glad you posted you liked it. Don't be ashamed either, we all get that sometimes we just don't want to get on the scale. I'm glad you found some new inspiration, you can do this . How's your mom doing?

I am Jill.

Way to go on the tracking!!! I spent the two weeks before hitting goal tracking religiously!! I am gotten a little lax on it, and it showed when I had a gain on the scale. Keep it up! You can do it!!!

I'll do what DS does -- rout for whoever wins!

Boo to me... I guess I'm glad I'm online and not a meeting gal because I gained 4 pounds somehow with conference and TOM... no clue how that happened. I know that if I had to go to a meeting I would either be bursting into tears or ditching it, so at least my misery was contained to my house. So depressing to see the chart hike back up from it's slide down, though....

Don't let the gain get you down. Unfortunately, life just happens some weeks and you gain. Make a short term goal right now to just focus on losing those 4 pounds. Then give yourself a reward at the end of it (a favorite treat perhaps?). Then get back to where you were on you plan and keep heading forward!

Good luck!

Slp1650 is right, don't let it discourage you, but let it be a motivator. And it's probably not an accurate 4lb gain. You said TOM and if you were eating more restaurant food while at conference, some is excess water weight. Drink more water and keep going with tracking. This is a lifestyle change and life happens, so we will have conferences, parties, vacations and sometimes a gain. Your success will show by getting back on track, don't let that stupid number on the scale control you .

Hi all!
Just started my WW journey last Sunday, and I'm finding the prospect of getting on the scale tomorrow more than a little daunting

Had a bit of a tough week in regards to eating (I was at a conference for the latter half of the week), and there were a couple of days where I went over my daily allowance of points (28 right now)
I still have about 13 of those "weekly points" left, so does that mean that I'm doing okay?

The amount of weight that I need to lose (by the end of it, about 45lb) just seems completely overwhelming to me, especially since I feel like there's just so much on my plate right now, btwn my kids, working FT, taking care of elderly parents, etc. I need to make keeping myself strong and healthy a priority, but the whole thing scares me more than just a little bit!!

 

[slp1650]

Had my weigh in today and I hit my first goal! I've lost 5% of my body weight, meaning I'm down 9 pounds since I started! My next goal is another 6 pounds down.

I am kind of nervous for this next set because where I am at now is where I've always stopped losing weight in the past. It's going to be hard, but I guess we'll see how it goes.

Still today was a good day!

Congratulations on taking the first step. My first suggestion for you is to not think about having to lose 45 lbs. Break it into more reasonable pieces. Shoot for 5 pounds to start. It might take a month to get there (although the first month you'll likely see a larger loss), but you WILL get there. Then choose another short term goal. That way you'll see lots of successful benchmarks as you go.

You have a lot going on in your life with family, job, etc. But you do need to say that YOU are important, too. If you're not around and in good health, no one else benefits. There will be a few weeks in the year when maybe you won't have any eating/exercise/stress challenges, but those are pretty rare. Every week -- heck, every day -- is a challenge. But you can do it!

Good luck!
