Weight Watchers Chat -- Part III

[sjms71]

WI day today. Down 4.4 lbs for a total of 13.2. Hubby was down 6 lbs for a total of 19. We were both surprised to have such big losses.

Today has been blown out of the water though. We are taking a mini vacay and are eating out tonight and tomorrow. Then on Saturday I'm going on a wine tour. Yikes. I just plan on being really good in between and doing my best to muddle through. I brought some fruit for the watermark tomorrow. That and all the chasing the kids around should help counteract it a little I hope.

Hope everyone is doing well!

WI last night. Down 2.6!

Very impressive! Great job to the both of you oh and staycool's hubby too

My meeting starts in about an hour. I'm going but I dont want to. It's my official monthly staff weigh-in today and I'm going to see that my efforts this week have not been rewarded with a loss again! I'll have to do better this week, maybe eat less cherries. I'll let you know later how I did.

There have been some amazing results at the scale from you guys this week. Good luck to the rest of you who still have to weigh in.

Hope your weigh in went ok Jess!

Up .1 today. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to try harder this week.

All last week I was on vacation. The first three days I did really good, then the last six days not so good. Out of the nine days on vacation I could only run two days. I knew I was going to gain so no surprise. I did gain 1.4 lbs; I thought it would be more so I'm OK with it. I'm back on program and I'm back walking a mile at lunch and running 4.5 miles in one hour each day. It felt good to have a "fall off the wagon" I was ready to get back eating healthy and running again.

Hope everyone has a great week!

I have a trip to Disneyland coming up in a couple of weeks, and I'm a little nervous! There are certain treats I love to have when I'm there and since I know I won't be back for a while, I know I won't want to skip them!

I know exactly what you mean. I'm dreaming of all the cupcakes I'm going to have! It's kind of scary.

A tenth of a pound could be humidity in your shirt. Don't worry about that. I'm sure you'll more than make up for that next week Jessie.

Here's what I've told myself -- Allow the treats I really want and can't have often, pass on the things that I can get anywhere. We're planning a trip to WDW in 2013 and I already know a few things that I am going to have even if they do kill the points. I'm going to eat as healthy as possible but I will have those few things that are unique to me that I can't get anywhere else. My husband calls his dieting method, "All things in moderation." I think that will be my vacation motto.

 

[keahgirl8]

That's what I am going to try to do. I just don't like it when I can't track everything. I have to stop being such a control freak!

When you put marinades on meat, do you count extra points for that? I'm talking things like lemon juice with olive oil plus spices, not anything that will truly stick to it and no sugar added things. I just want to make sure I'm doing this right. Thanks!

 

[keahgirl8]

I do if it has oil or sugar. I usually just guesstimate! I know that is a no-no, but sometimes you have to!

And another question. Does anyone have a good recipe for zucchini bread? I love zucchini bread. Just want to make some that I can eat. lol

Do you like chocolate? I have a great recipe for a chocolate zucchini loaf. It's really moist.

That sounds really good!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Here's the recipe I use for chocolate zucchini loaf.

You can portion control it if you like by baking it in a muffin pan instead of a loaf pan. I've also made it by adding a few chocolate chips!

I LOOOVE chocolate. lol It is one of my biggest downfalls.

Hi all,

I'm Jen a Disney lover and on WW. Just got home from 3 weeks in Florida with our first Disney cruise in the middle of that time. Just joined today so am new posting, but was so happy to find a WW group on here. I've been doing WW since Feb 2011 and am down 22lbs overall, heading towards me goal with another 25 to go.

Look forward to getting to know you all and supporting each other in WW and enjoying treats while on vacations!

 

[StayCool]

I'm dying tonight! All I want to do is eat and of course nothing good for me either! Ugh. Here's to hoping I can maintain my sanity until I can finally pass out!!

Welcome! We had someone in our meeting that had just returned from a cruise and of course the question was, "So, how much did you gain?" She actually LOST four pounds while on the cruise. How was the cruise for you?

I hope when I go on our cruise I will be down that much!

That's such an interesting point! In that past (not when I was on WW) I always lost weight on a cruise. I assume it's because I was so much more active. It certainly reinforces the idea that activity really helps weight loss.

I'm leaving in August for a 12 dayland trip to Scotland and am hoping to be able to stay on plan. This will be my first trip since starting WW and I'm a little anxious--so wish me well.

I already had a "ooops" this morning. DH and I stopped by First Watch (a breakfast/brunch/lunch place) and the omelet I picked was 17 points!!! OUCH! It was the one with mushrooms, onion, a sprinkling of ham and swiss cheese. I should have checked the points before ordering I have so much to learn!
