Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

Ok- I am at a 2.4 loss this week. Now I have lost 11.4 total. Is it weird I have more energy? I still weigh alot!! LOL I have been eating alot healthier, with the occasional "cheat".

It is not weird at all! A little bit makes a big difference! Also, you are fueling your body with healthy things!

I was lugging a bag of bird seed up the steps when I realized that my body used to carry that amount of weight around all the time! No wonder we have more energy -- we aren't carrying around the load we used to. Just wait till we get to goal -- there will be no stopping us! Those who used to wait for us as we lagged behind will be struggling to keep us. Already my dh wants to know where the fire is when we walk the dog.

Oh my points decreased. I'm down to 30 now. Ugh!

I was always excited each time my points went down. It meant that I was getting closer to my weight loss goal!

That is so true! Carry a 10 pound bag of potatoes around for a while. That is just 10 pounds of your weight! I have already noticed that I move faster just walking around the house or at work.

Found out at my meeting today that there is going to be a WW recruiter at our meeting next week! Would love to work for the company once I make Lifetime - the company, the program, and especially my leader have been AMAZING, and I'd love to have the chance to pay it forward.

That's awesome! I bet it would be a fun job!

Hi Everyone! I just joined weight watchers and have my 2nd meeting tomorrow morning. I'm anxious to see how much weight I lost. I'm a stress eater and my 3 kids are a huge amount of stress It's crazy...now that I'm accountable to everything I put in my mouth I can't believe how much mindless eating I did. Everytime the kids stress me out I feel like I want to throw something in my mouth so bad...and obviously I can't do that now so I'm sure it will take some getting used to. But I've stayed on program all week and only used 5 of my 49 anytime points. 32 pound weight loss goal here I come!

Good for you! You are so right! WW makes you become so aware of what you're eating.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I'm a sharer so I will share a true story. DH works mid to 2nd shift. He works at home so he's in the basement but I'm still alone with the kids for the majority of the day. I get up with them cause he sleeps in from working "late" and then I have to bathe them and feed them lunch and dinner by myself and then I put them all to bed.

Anyway the two boys were arguing and the baby was whining so I put on a cartoon and asked them to just chill for a little bit. I then grabbed a hoho and a Dr. Pepper and locked myself in the bathroom (which is steps from my living room so I was able to hear the kids). It was the only way I knew I'd get a couple minutes to stuff my face and eat in peace.

I was telling DH about it and he said that I had issues if I was hiding in the bathroom to eat junk food, and he's right. That pop is like a drug addiction, and no one drinks it but me. I won't even buy it, my mom buys it and I just take a couple bottles from her house and hide it in the back of my fridge.

I feel so much better this week. I quit the pop cold turkey and much of my bloat has gone down. I don't even miss the pop all that much. I've noticed that even though I want to stress eat, now that I've cut out so many carbs the cravings aren't nearly as bad.

Thank you so much for telling your story. We all have reasons why we eat. I had a stressful job and a serious addiction to Oreo Blasts from Sonic. I am so happy to hear about your fresh start! Please keep coming back and tell us about your progress or if you need encouragement. We're all in this together!

My daughter joined nine weeks ago. She has four kids and says pretty much the same thing you said. When she started WW she also began the "Couch to 5K" program. Last week she finished the program and today she is running her first 5K!

Good Point! I was thinking that when I picked up a 14 lb kitty litter box - "Almost all of this weight used to be on me!! Love your dh's comment about the fire!

OK - gotta go exercise!!

Congrats to everyone on your weight loss this week . I kind of miss those days weighing to see the number go down.

Welcome I loved your story! I can speak for myself in saying I have been there. The stress of kids and the mindless eating. I told my husband one time that I was so stressed I needed a cupcake cause it was like a giant hug . As a huge stress eater too, I can also say it will get better, I no longer feel that pull towards food when I'm stressed.

Today is weigh-in day...drumroll please...

4.6 pounds! I can't believe it!

WOW! great job!
