Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[BabyTigger99]

So, I am working on my resume right now. I haven't done my resume in probably 13 years! But, I have decided that I am going to apply to be a leader in my area. My WW leader is really excited, and she said to let me know as soon as I do my application, and she will let her boss know. Still not sure if it is going to fit into my schedule, but I figured I will go and see what it is about.

We're going to be at WDW for Spring Break too! We'll be there from 3/29 - 4/5. It would be fun to meet up .

Oh, that would be so cool. We're arriving late in the afternoon on 3/30 and leaving on 4/7. I'll pm you!

So jealous , I want to go with you guys. You better take a picture if you meet up!

Hi everyone -

A bit of a long stroy, so I'll attempt to keep it abbreviated; I started my WW journey 5 weeks ago. Now, when I did my beginning wt, it was on a really old, really crappy spring scale that's probably about 20 yrs old. I knew it was a bit of a piece of garbage, since it always gave different wt readings each time you stepped on it (even one right after the other!!), and would often bounce back to below zero when you stepped off.
I know, bad idea, but honestly couldn't afford to buy a new on at that time.

Annnnnyways, my start weight (on the old scale) was 184. I finally scraped up enough $ to buy myself a good digital scale the other night!! I weighed myself that a.m. on my old scale, and came in at 175; I tried out my new scale, and it came up as 183

So now I'm, a) feeling really, really defeated, and b) not sure what to do as far as my weight tracker on my WW profile! Should I adjust my beggining weight, or should I just enter the "correct" weight from the new scale?

I can't believe how much this has set me back

don't feel defeated. If it were me I would just keep the original weigh in. Stick to one scale and just go from there. I hate that that stupid "square" we step on has so much power over us .

Decided to treat myself to a new swimsuit at Target for an incentive. Purchaed it this morning, and received two coupons for pastries at Starbucks. Ironic, yes?

You're so funny

Good luck! Let me know how it goes. My leader keeps telling me I should be come a leader. So, I would love for you too keep us posted on it.

I'm sure it will Stephanie. I'm loving the SFT. I almost think you need to do the regular tracking for awhile so you have a better sense of your body, portion sizes, and how you feel when you're comfortably full. That takes awhile -- like 2 years for me. But, switching to SFT has been good for me and I'm hopeful I'll be able to stick with it on vacation.

Have a great vacation!

Great idea, Jill! Let us know what happens.

Have a great trip! What will you be doing in Florida? Will you still be checking in as usual?

I am down another 1.6! This is the first time in LONG time that I have lost on 4 successive weigh-ins as I usually roller-coaster up and down.

There was a big disappointment at my meeting today. My long-time leader quit this week. She was a leader for over 20 years and was the "face" of Weight Watchers here in Madison. She left without any notice to the members ... I suspect that it would have been too hard to face the disappointment of meeting after meeting. Anyway, the "new" leader is perfectly nice so we'll be fine but everyone will miss Dawn .

Yes, Florida, Vero Beach the first week. We are planning Busch Gardens and Sea World the second week. We will be making a stop in Atlanta the last weekend on our way home. Of course I'll be checking in with you guys. Weather is suppose to be really nasty tomorrow so hope that won't delay us from driving any. We have Disney tickets still but not sure if we will use them this trip.

Way to go Robin . Sorry about your leader.

I'm glad things are working out at the scale for you, Robin. It's disappointing to lose a leader, I know, but WW sometimes loses members when a leader leaves and she may not have been allowed to let you know she was quitting. I hope you are happy with the new one.

Congratulations on your loss Robin! You're on a roll.

Sorry about your leader leaving. I hope the new person keeps you inspired.

Any word on if WW is doing their 5k's again this year? I really enjoyed it in 2011!

 

[KristinS]

After a bad week and no difference on the scale, I'm down another 1.5 this week. I think I've discovered I can barely touch only about half of my Weekly Allowance point to see any change.

 

[slp1650]

I'm back! I just got internet a few hours ago and jeez I've missed so much! I'm going to try and get into everything again over the next few days.

As for where I've been on WW... I gained for the first time last week (+1 pound), but I dropped .5 this week. It was really more cause I ate like crap after the Princess Half Marathon and went up really high at the beginning of the week and then regained control and dropped the reaming few days.

We're doing it in Ontario so I would assume that the states is doing it again as well.

I'm not expecting a loss this week. I used up all of my WPA's by Thursday and I'm eating everything in site since then. I hate when I do that. I'm trying to put the breaks on today but it's only 3:30. There is a lot of time between now and my Wednesday morning weigh-in.

Oh, my goodness. I know how you feel. I think I ate all my WPs yesterday -- yup in one day within about one hour. Yikes. There is a lot of time between now and Wednesday morning and that's not a good thing at this rate.

Stay strong Jessie. Here's to getting back under control.

I am really happy to say that I was down 1.8 today at weigh in...but along with that my total points decreased by 1.!!!

I had a hard enough time sticking to 29 then 28 now 27.

How do you guys do it? The lady that weighed me in said I dont have to do 27 if I do not want to. I will give it a try. I feel like I am finally on a good streak here!

Thank you!

I hope evrybody had a good weekend

I just read through your blog-running thoughts! It is awesome. Congrats on the 1/2 marathon. That is so impressive! The pics are great and you look beautiful!
