Good Morning ladies - it has been sooooo long since I checked in here - I'm so glad to see that you are still here.

I have hit rock bottom with my weight - my weight today is at the highest that its ever been. I can't beleive that I have left it get this bad. Unfortunately I can't unring the bell - I just need to move forward. I gained over 30 pounds since this time last year (and that doesn't even count the weight that I lost this year and gained back). All the added pounds has increase the problems that I am having with the pain in my feet, which now included pain in my legs. It hurts to walk and there is no way I can jog, and I so miss that.

So I am come here looking for support as I restart my WW journey. I will be purchasing my monthly pass online this morning and going back to my meetings on Saturday - although I am so embarassed to go back weighing what I do, but I know I must do it.

My goals for the week:

1. Rejoin WW - get out and read all my old materials
2. Rejoin the gym
3. Contact the gym trainer and set up a meeting to discuss my exercise needs
4. Start tracking my food

Thanks for listening - looking forward to getting back into the group!

Welcome back! I was wondering where you'd been. Dont get yourself down about having gained the weight back. I know it's not very easy to deal with but we've all been there. Lots of people leave WW, gain the weight back and never come back but you've made the right decision to return and that's the first part of getting this fixed. You've made goals and commitments and that's an important next step. You're on the right track!

Thank you Jill for the before and after pictures. You look great!!! You are an inspiration to all of us!!!

Back from DL and completed my first half marathon.... yep, I made it all 13.1 miles... YEAH!!! Enjoyed the race and of course DL.... I WI tomorrow so I will see what damage I did to my weight loss journey. I did stay away from all of the bakery goodies and only had one bite of a Dole Whip (Really hard to do, but I did it).... I did shed my usually tears as I left Main Street, but am comforted by the knowledge that I will be to WDW in 2013....

Hope everyone had a great weekend and that the next week is OP and terrific!!!! BELIEVE!!!

Wow, ran a marathon AND stayed away from bakery , now that is an inspiration. Good luck tomorrow, I'm sure you'll have great results.

Congratulations on completing the half marathon. Now you need to get one of those 13.1 stickers for your car! And, like Stephanie said, staying away from the bakery, too -- whoa, you're a rock star.

Hi Tammy and welcome back. Coming back to this thread is a great first step and you have some wonderful goals for the week. Don't worry that anyone at WW is going to scold you or anything. That isn't what it's about. I was in your shoes a couple of years ago. I had achieved lifetime at WW and thought I could do it all myself. Well, I was okay for about a year and then I gained 40+ pounds and reached a weight that was my highest ever. WW welcomed me back with open arms and great support. Plus, we have our sisters on this thread. You can do this!

Congrats on the half! I'm going to be doing the Princess in just a few weeks.

Are you going to be doing the WDW marathon in 2013 or just visiting? I'm planning on doing the full then.

Good job passing up the bakery and dole whips. I understand how hard it is! I went to Epcot last night and only had a hot chocolate which I was proud of with all those delicious treats and drinks they're always selling.

Has anyone been to Disneys Vero Beach Resort? My inlaws have a timeshare in Vero beach(not the Disney resort). They are not going down there this year and their week happens to fall during our break so we are going in March. Just wondering if it's worth going to have a meal there? If anyone has some input that would be great .

 

[BabyTigger99]

Thank you all for the positive response to my pictures. Sometimes I still can't believe that either one is actually me!!

First week on maintenance, and I actually lost 1.2 pounds. So I am officially at 70.4 pounds lost, which I did want to hit, to be able to say that I lost 70 pounds.

Hi All! I just joined WW today. I'm doing the monthly pass--so going to meetings (the location is so convenient--I can go during the work day at lunch) and do the online tools.

I had joined WW in college (when I was 20 or so) and lost 25-30 pounds. It was a huge accomplishment and I kept the weight off for 7 years (and even lost a bit more on my own when I was 24. I'm 27 and the weight has crept up on me since I got married in September. (Check out my in-progress honeymoon Trip Report--all we did was EAT!) It has been challenging in general to keep the weight off since it is SO EASY just to eat the same amount of food as my DH eats.

The one positive thing going for me is that I joined a gym as I was toning up for my wedding and I can truly say that I enjoy working out--especially group classes (Zumba, Boot Camp, etc.).

I weighed in today--and yikes! I just got weighed on Friday at the doctor and the weight at the scale today was 2 lbs more.

Just wanted to introduce myself--hope you all have a great day!

Thank you!! I am hoping to complete my CTC next year with the Princess in February and the DL Half Labor Day weekend. That is my goal at least...

Great job passing up the goodies in Epcot.... That is not easy... The carmel corn is a hard one for me to pass up...

Good luck at the Princess, I am sure you will have a great time!!

 

[TiggerFan3590]

WI today, up 1.2, but not letting it get me down. One day at a time, one meal at a time.... I do BELIEVE!!

I did the coast to coast with those two races last year and it was awesome! I absolutely love the C2C medal and I'm kinda sad I won't be able to get it this year.

omg, that is my favorite snack now.....who knew werthers caramel corn was the bomb!

just joined WW last week and looking forward to reading this thread!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Well, today is my weigh in day and I have no idea what to expect BECAUSE... I havent been on my scale since last Wednesday morning. I'm freaking out just a little!! Hopefully, I'll be down at least .5. I'll let you know this aft what happens.

Wow Jessie, that's a whole week without getting on the scale! I have my fingers crossed that you'll be duly rewarded for your abstinence.

Jessie....that is a HUGE accomplishment. Good luck today and no matter what the scale says, you set a goal and stuck to it.....BRAVO .

You'll do great at your weigh in today!

You are an inspiration to not look at the scale all the time. I'll admit that I am addicted to getting on the scale throughout the day to see where I am and I really do need to stop. I think I'll just get on it in the mornings and then put it away till the next morning to see where I am. Maybe I'll eventually get to the same place as you where I'll only be looking at it once a week.

Thanks, Guys!

Hi everyone!! I just started WW today. I was on it back in 2004 and I lost 50lbs then I thought I could do it alone, and gained back 50+ after that.

It took me 8 years to finally realize that I can't do it alone and I need the support of other people and the program.

So....Hi!
