Weight Watchers Chat -- Part III

[shinysparklybubbles]

It will tell you calories burned (mine does anyway). I have read that 80 calories = 1AP, but don't quote me on that!

Too late, you are quoted

May I join in? I am starting WW on line and have 70 pounds to lose. I have a lot of difficulty staying on track. Even my excuses have excuses. Karen

Welcome!

That looks really helpful. Kind of a silly question but can this be done on a treadmill?

Of course! Just know that once you get on real ground, it's different. I had two on-the-ground runs this week (was easier than going to the Y this week), and they were HARD. Of course, the fact that I'm in Week 8 of my C25K program, and doing 28 minutes of jogging at a time, did not make it any easier! I think I'm going to do Week 8 at least twice.

Weigh-in day! I am down 1.6 pounds this week for a total of 16.8 pounds.

I am leaving for 3 days to go to a relative's wedding, so I am not too sure about my weigh-in next wednesday! We'll be on the road for those 3 days, eating out and everything.

Congrats on everyone on their losses this week! Let's keep it up!

Really focus on hydration through the whole trip, and especially on the way home! Driving and flying cause me, at least, to retain water like crazy! Drink drink drink (and use the facilities when needed, of course).

Lost 2.2 this week.... good loss, but I lost 6 last week so it was a bit of a let down. Total loss 18.6 since Memorial Day.

Amazing losses! Congrats! I promise that eventually you will see *any* loss as a victory. With my first .2 loss during this time through, there was a moment of "ugh", but then I realized that I certainly wouldn't think it was "small" if it had been a gain! A loss is a loss is a loss! At least your body is slowing down slowly. Just keep on going!

Last night was my 25th WI. I thought for sure I was going to reach the 50 lb mark, even my scale at home said so. I needed to lose 2.4 lbs to reach it this week. I was all set up for victory when she said, "Good job Deb, two tenths of a pound." Huh? Two tenths? What happened? I know what I ate yesterday and I still had nine points left. Oh well. Am I allowed to think that something might have been wrong with their scale?

Only if you think there's something wrong on a really good loss day. Kidding.

Just keep doing what you've been doing, and I bet you'll see that loss soon. 25 weigh ins and almost 50 lbs! Woo! I'm at about the 27 week mark, and I'm at 42 lost, and thought I was doing well! But just under 50? And your daughter did hit 50? Woo to you two!

I was wondering if anyone get the Cooking Light Magazine? DS is selling magazines for his school and I was thinking of trying that magazine, but I've never gotten it, so don't know how the recipes are.

If you've ever used that magazine, I'd love a review of it!

Hello everyone! I am a newbie here, I am going to my first meeting Tuesday. I am actually looking forward to it. I am tired of looking and feeling the way I do.

I need to lose at least 30 pounds, but I would like to lose about 35-40.

I had a decent coupon for Smart Ones, so I picked those up for lunches when I do not have left overs. I work part time and my work has a gym so I plan on hitting it as often as I can.

I did not make good choices this weekend. Since I did not read this post until Sunday morning, does that mean I can blame it on you?? I didn't get the memo to eat well this weekend... *sigh* oh well, I guess that just means I have to be on lock down the rest of the week and SUPER stick to the plan. It's gonna be hard with my husband home an extra day this week!

On a good note, last monday I started a run/walk exersize routine. It has one rest day each week (on saturday). Well I have been doing super good doing it and it feels pretty good, in an achy hurting sort of way...Anyhow, it has every saturday as a rest day. So yesterday, I woke up, and while I wouldn't have minded working out, I rested like it said (and I ate a ton, it didn't tell me to do that). Well, I was worried that with a rest day, I would have a hard time starting up again, turning one rest day into 2 then 3 and so on. Well, I'm happy to say, I didn't. I got back on the treadmil first thing this morning. I'm so proud of myself and I feel good. Go me!


One last thought, why does running have to suck so much when you are doing it, but afterwards you feel so good?

I didn't get the memo either. I went to the State Fair yesterday. Compared to last year... I was better. But I still had my one funnel cake for the year. I looked that up in points and I'm not even going to post how bad THAT was.

I hear you on the exercise. I haven't done it in years and I am trying to get into a routine now. I'm afraid to miss a day because I am afraid I will quit. During the workout when I feel like I'm dying and everything is burning I just want to sit and watch the rest of the video! BUT I suck it up and keep going. The second she says "This is the end of workout video one" I sigh with relief and then am immediately proud of myself for sticking with it. Sounds so silly!

My goal is to be able to fit into "normal" sizes by the time I make it to Disney next August. I'm tired of shopping at plus size stores.

Hope everyone else is having a wonderful Sunday. Time to workout and then take my son to his football game.

That is EXACTLY what my goal is (well, one of them). I can't wait until I can come here and say, "I didn't have to shop the plus size department!" I'm hoping that my next trip to Disney (April) I'll be wearing "normal-size" clothes and not plus-size.

It is a great program. I started on January 7 and I have lost a total of 32 pounds as of my last weigh in. If you have any question just ask.

My mom used the program in the early 90s and lost over 120 pounds. She did in amazing job! I can remember going to meetings with her, but back then I was just doing homework and reading to pass the time.

Has anyone ever shared before/progress/after photos in this thread?

I have seen a few back in the thread of people that have reached goal weight. I've never posted any pics of me though. Too early in the game.
