Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

This isn't true. When you get close to where you want to be, go see your doctor. If you and he agree on a healthy weight for you, weight watchers will accept that weight as your goal. You will need a note from your physician.

That is good to know, because I know a healthy weight for me is supposed to be 121-159, and I was going to try to be 170-180. Which for me is healthy according to my doctor.

Oh! Thanks for that info. I believe it will come in handy!

So I had a decent week, but considering I was doing so well all week, I definitely didn't get the final number that I was expecting. I think I sabotaged myself on my last day when I gave into a few cravings... Still, down .5 so I can't be too mad.

At WDW now! I met Robin on Saturday. Her DD and DH were doing dive quest, so we met at the tank. It was nice to put a person with our thread-starter!

Ate at Flying Fish on Saturday night. Fabulous! And, wait for it . . . I didn't clean my plate and was very satisfied. I think I may gain a little on this trip, but that's ok.

Giving myself 10 points of wiggle room this week (WP's I don't use). Hopefully I see a loss tomorrow!

 

[WDWRids]

That is great. Good job!! I have 70 to lose by my 40th bday in January- so 7 lbs a month. I know it is coming off quicker because I am heavier now- so I am trying to get a jump start.

I'm right there with you!!! Turning 40 in December and have 50 pounds to drop. I know we can do it!!!!

Hey me too! I'll be 40 on December 8.

My goal right now is 30 by Memorial Day then the remaining 30 by Thanksgiving or earlier that way when I turn 40 I'll be rocking the bikini bod on a cruise, hopefully.

I was really successful on WW last year, and then due to moving and a really stressful home life I gained the weight back...not an excuse I know, but I definitely did a lot of emotional eating due to being trapped in my house all the time and not being allowed to do anything besides sit at home on the computer or couch and eat. I am out of that situation for now and hopefully will never feel as stressed and depressed as I did this past year ever again.

Re-committed to WW 2 weeks ago and have lost 7 pounds so far. I need to lose another 20 before I am back to where I left off last year before life got in the way and I stopped doing it. I hope I can keep it up, I really want to, I am just feeling extremely discouraged due to how miserable this last year has been. Hoping I can be strong and keep myself on track this time.

 

[wvjules]

Oh, I originally came here to worry about Easter. It is my first holiday on WW. I'm not too worried about Easter candy. I'm not one that really likes peeps or jelly beans. I'm more worried about dinner. And to add to that we are going to opening day on Friday so there's lots of crap there. (All winter I've been looking forward to ballpark food.) And then we're going to Roy's Hawaiian Fusion for dinner. It's going to be a calorie bomb 3 days. I should prepare myself for a no loss or gain week next Friday. Friday the 13th, hah! I guess that's what WPs are for, right? I will have to amp up my APs next week too.

"God grant me the serenity not to stuff myself with the Easter ham and fixins. In Weight Watcher's name I pray. Amen!"

Glad to see you back. The best thing you can do is not even dwell on the last year but let it give you strength. You can't change it, it is what it is. Just move forward. You can do it! Great job on the 7lbs loss so far!

Don't stress to much about it. Instead of thinking what you can't have have a plan going in. If you are cooking it's a little easier. Save your WP's and get in an extra workout like you said. Drink lots of water and enjoy. Just remember, it's a Holi-DAY not a Holi-WEEK

I am popping in here because I joined WW (again) last weekend. Doing the online program and in the first week I dropped 4 pounds! But very worried about this week as I have a rather sudden trip to take and will be eating on the run where ever I can find it and/or meals fixed by others with very little input from me. I have already lost 50 pounds following South Beach and am trying to stick with the lean protein/veggies/less carbs (and only good ones) model but needed the structure to my meals that WW provides.

In the past I loved dottis weight loss zone and had everything downloaded on my palm pilot. Now of course it is available as an app for my ipod touch so wondering if anyone has any opinions on the app? Since it is $2.99 I don't want to spend the money if it won't be useful. I won't have internet connectivity most of the time and will be eating several meals in airport or area restaurants. Are there any other apps that are useful to use while offline?

I did print off the Simply Filling list and am wondering if I should try to just stick with that (if I can ) while I am gone.

Would appreciate any advice. I don't want to undo a hard fought week and end up with a significant gain when I get home on Monday.

Welcome, congrats on your success your first week! I use this site: exercise4wightloss. They have a great restaurant base with WW points. They have just developed an app too, nutriscore2go. They are still adding stuff so think the website has more info at this point. Good luck!

JESSIE, where are you? Hope you're ok.

I'm in my third week and Easter will be my first real challenge. Family dinner here with my offspring on Saturday and then a place you might know -- Friendly Farms -- for Easter dinner with my parents from Delaware and sister's family from Frederick. Have a great time at the O's game and save your points for dinner.

So, I had my monthly weigh in today. I am exactly where I was four weeks ago, at 70.6 pounds lost. The last four weeks were really hard. I really got off track, but thankfully I was able to find my way back. Now to decide if I want to go a little bit lower than I am. I have three goals I really would like to hit. The first would be to get into the 120s (I am at 132.2 right now). Second goal would be to hit 75 pounds lost (which would be 127.8 pounds), and third would be to hit 125.

I have been doing good the past couple of days. This morning for breakfast I had a smorgasboard of fruit (orange, strawberries, and blackberries) with a little bit of whipped cream for the strawberries and some 2% cottage cheese for breakfast. 3PP, I'll take it!

The thing I like about WW is I can "cheat" without "cheating" so then I don't get discouraged. The other day I didn't follow WW at all, went out to eat twice and finished the night off with 4 glasses of wine. I was WELL ABOVE my daily PP allowance but I still had 30WP left and 16 unused AP. So, I "cheated" but it wasn't really cheating. The only negative was that this was all the night before my weigh in, so I didn't "lose" much but next week it will probably be more.

Also...meat lovers will appreciate this...my grocery store sells really yummy ribeye steaks, but when I'm at the meat section I usually only see ones that are close to a pound. When I was shopping yesterday I looked at the steaks and found a ribeye that was small and only half a pound! Going to treat myself to a nice juicy steak this week...it's still a lot of pp but I will just eat lots of fruits and veggies for breakfast and lunch that day.

 

[averill94]

Vicki alamode- That sounds yummy and at least you are planning for that steak! I made a flank steak on Saturday and it was really tasty.


Sandi- Have a wonderful trip! So glad you enjoyed Flyin Fish! Have a ressie there for next trip.


Hope everyone has a great day!
Margaret

So I haven't been tracking lately. I was trying the whole "Not track and see how you do" thing and then I just got lazy and haven't tracked in like a week.

I'm going to start tracking today (after the BBQ that had tons of food, but went well). I figured it would probably be smart considering my plan did drop by a point today.

The good news is that I have been doing pretty decent. I've been slightly dropping and staying somewhat consistent. I just want to get through this rut that I'm in though and start moving closer to my goal than .5 each week...
