Weight Watchers Chat -- Part III

[sjms71]

Okay, today was weigh in day for me. Considering I didn't stick to the plan AT ALL this week, it wasn't horrible. I did gain, but not as much as I expected. I'm pretty sure this was because I continued my workout. Well, today starts a new week, so I'm starting over. Let's see if I can stick to it this week (and keep up the work outs!). Next week is Disney, so I'm sure that's out the window, but no reason to put on pounds before i go too Then it will be a totally clean slate when I get back.

Even though I'm not doing the best, it keeps me motivated to see you all doing so well on here. I'm hoping that by me still posting i'll not only serve as an example of what NOT to do, but I won't veer compleatly off track. Thanks again to all

BRAVO! For facing the music and not giving up. This is a lifestyle change so there is bound to be ups AND downs. It took me over two years to lose 74 lbs. Lots of great weeks and some not so great weeks, but just dust yourself off and keep moving forward. Do your very best this week so you can go into your Disney trip having lost the weight you gained this week. GOOD LUCK! You can do it!

Try not to freak out!!! I'm sure you'll be fine...but look at it this way...even if you don't FINISH it, just by showing up and starting it and doing the best you possibly can, you are doing more than 99% of the general population! Maybe you won't make it to the end, probably you will...but EITHER WAY YOU ARE A WINNER!!!!!

Just keep training and do the best you can!! I have my first double digit walk tomorrow morning...11 miles. I'm pretty nervous, my longest walk so far has been 9 miles. But I have a plan, my ipod is loaded and I'm going to take my time and do the best I can.

Have a great night!!!

11 miles Brooke! That's great!

A bit of a struggle this week......but no gains. Stayed the same when I weighed this morning. How have some of you got it back into gear after a week of the blah's?

I have had lots of weeks of the blahs but just keep hanging in!!! I have given up so many times before. I have to remember where I came from and look at the BIG picture (and it is a big picture )

I also grabbed the Jean Nidetch bio this summer as well as David Kirchoff's book. They were both great reads and very inspiring. Jean is an amazing woman. Reading blogs online has helped me a ton too. Amazing stories out there.

Reading this board and going to meetings helps so much.

I used the heart rate monitor today for the first time. I have to say I was a little disappointed because I *only* burned 180 calories. But now that I stop and think about it, that is 180 calories in only 20 minutes. Hmmm... I guess that isn't so bad. Anyway it works out to about 2 APs. I like to watch them add up. lol

It's a gray and dreary day here so a good day to do homework (if there is such a thing!). Hope everyone is having a great day!

Yay!!!! How awesome -- great job!

My WI was disappointing -- up 0.6. I know it could be a combination of a number of things, but my educated guess would be not tracking after 4:00 p.m. Hmm.....guess the "Estimation Plan" isn't on the WW website, eh?

So back to basics!

Hang in there! You're right, back to basics works. As they say, only track points the days you want to lose .

Happy Saturday everyone! Did my 11 miles this morning! I'm still pretty slow at this point, but I finished in the time I planned and felt really pretty good the whole way through. Have a couple new blisters but not too bad.

WI tomorrow...a little worried as I kinda jumped off the wagon this week a bit...slipped on the holiday weekend and just sort of kept sliding...so I think it will be back to basics for me too!!

Have a great night everyone!

Good for you Brooke. How long does 11 miles take? I am by no means an expert at this, but as a lifetimer I still struggle everyday. The important part is no matter how much we slide or get off track we still stick with it and don't give up!

We just got home from vacation at the Jersey Shore. We had a great time but sadly WW only lasted the first 3 days. I did my best to be aware of what I was eating but I stopped counting and measuring. I did stick with my exercise plan and we walked a lot on the boardwalk, to the store, up and down the beach, etc. I will hop on the scale tomorrow and see how things look and then Tuesday will be my official WI at WW. Looking forward to being back on track!

I'd say 2 AP in 20 minutes is great!

Congratulations!

I weighed in yesterday and "reset" my starting weight. I went UP a point to 27 . A bummer, for sure. The good news is that I am sure to get some 5-lb stars and I have a whole new 5% and 10% goal weight to shoot for.

Just had to come on here and pat myself on the back. I did my run today (even though I REALLY wasn't feeling like it) and even though I was REALLY feeling like ordering a pizza to go with the football game today, I decided against it. Weekends are the hardest for me, I always want to get lazy and eat everything. We are almost to monday and monday is almost to friday and friday is "Going to Disney" Day!

P.S. Go Pack Go

Had my WI today... Initially thought I was up 10 pounds, which I couldn't figure out how... I knew I wasn't the greatest following program... Then my darling husband took his foot of the scale and I was only up .6

He got a few laughs from the line, as I smacked his arm... Next week he will not be allowed near me during the WI, even if he does pay

I'm struggling today. It is much cooler out and when it gets cooler out I want to bake! Sooo... I'm craving cake, cookies and brownies. Pretty much anything bad that you can think of. The worst part is that it is barely after 6pm and I have a long time til bed. Hopefully I can hold strong.

I like it cooler because I eat more soup, oatmeal, and cream of wheat! Good luck to you!
