Congrats!

I lost a point too, it is funny, I'm glad and disappointed at the same time lol!

I had my WI yesterday, I am down 1.6. I was really worried as we worked a festival all weekend long. Hopefully next week I will hit my 5% goal.

Speaking of goal, did everyone set their goal weight with their leader or on their own? How does that work?

I know! I bounce between struggling to eat all my points and going over them. So losing a point is a blessing and a curse. When people tell me they only have 26 points I cringe! I currently have 34 points. That is a big difference. Especially on those nights that I *need* a big glass of wine!

Hi everyone. I had my second wi today and i am down 4.8 total for a goal of ten, but to be honest 20 would be amazing. I like reading here, it gives me great ideas and inspiration. This is my first formal diet and i will admit i don't have lots to loose, it's still rough.

I had my WI today and I lost 3.6! That's more than I lost my first week! I got my first 5 lbs star today, 7.6 lbs for my first month! I'm so shocked because I had salad works one day and it was not a WW friendly salad! Maybe I needed the extra points? Who knows but I'm happy!

Way to go on both your weight loss!

Congrats on your 1.6 loss this week. I had a lot to lose, 70+ pounds. I knew what I wanted my goal weight to be but, personally didn't want to write down that goal number until I was at the 10 lbs left to lose mark. So I did it towards the end. No one at my meetings put a timeline on it. Just when I was ready I went to my leader. Now to get lifetime with WW you have to be within "their" weight range, unless you get a doctors note stating different.

I have been eating 26 points and it's not easy. On the weekend I dip into my weeklies but usually I don't eat them all. When I get back to goal I'll go back up to about 30-32.

WOW! That's a great week.

Holy cow. I just paid my money & registered for the Disney Princess 1/2. It's official. And officially SCARY. BUT, it's super exciting to have another long term goal out there that will help me achieve the initial one of getting to my goal weight. I hope NJ has another mild winter... otherwise my butt will be out there running in the FREEZING cold. No matter what I WILL be out there.

I agree about the winter! I am planning on doing the Wine and Dine 1/2 and I need every day that I can get! No snow or ice this winter for NJ!

Grrr.....

Okay. Thanks for letting me vent.

I would be ticked off too!

Congratulations all your LOSERS! Ilovevacation, that is exactly why I started the first thread ... to inspire and support one another . I do notice a difference when I participate on the thread and when I pull the covers over my head and ignore it.

Me, too, Robin. Even when I do take some time off and slip a bit, I always feel good about coming back to this thread. It re-energizes me and no one judges. Everyone is supportive.

Once again, I thank you Robin for starting the original thread.

And many thanks to Debbie and everyone else who kept it going and started thread #3 while I was practicing my best ostrich imitation.

Ostrich imitation -- love it!

Had my WI last night. UP .4 lb. Well, I kind of expected it. If I had weighed in today it would have been much better -- scale here was down .6 from yesterday and I've been visiting the commode alot, kwim? My schedule was all out of whack for four days after being at the baby's birth all night Wednesday. My scale went up three pounds in two days. Spent the next four trying to get rid of them.

I did make a change last week that I decided just does not work for me. I thought it was time to start cutting back on eggs and pork for breakfast. This has been my breakfast for years -- eggs, bacon/sausage, and until WW took points away, 1/2 bagel or English muffin w/cream cheese. I've been down to just the eggs and meat now for several months. I decided that I could save a few points by eating WW bagels or English Muffin sandwiches instead. Well, yes I did save a few points. But that carb load w / little protein in the morning made be edgy and irritable and after I saw that I gained a little, I decided that morning carbs are just not for me. So this morning I went back to my good old bacon and eggs. It just feels right for me.

So, hoping for a better WI next Tuesday night. I would like to be down 57 lbs by my birthday (when I'll be 57) on Oct. 5. Not sure I can knock off 6 lbs by then, but at least I can try!

I did my post Disney weigh in today and it was a whole lot better than I thought it would be. I was hoping that it would be under 10 pounds. I also chose today to switch to long sleeves and jeans.

So after a week of Disney dining, and moving into jeans I was up 6.5 and I'm so glad it was under 10 pounds!

So it was really probably a gain of under 5 pounds. I'm not quite prepared to be wearing jeans for my WIs! That takes guts.

My WI went well, down 1.4..... I will take it! Congrats to everyone here-being here and on WW is a big accomplishment.

 

[shinysparklybubbles]

I'm feeling really good about WW this time around. This will be the last time I join, I will make lifetime and I will succeed! I think I was finally mentally ready this time. No one is going to bring me down this time! Seeing my little stones move from the weight to be lost to the weight lost jar really helps!

Woohooo!

My own little opinion/advice tidbit is to start by eating your Weekly points! if you start while eating all points "coming to you" and you still lose, then you know that you can do it! Trust me, it's harder to add them in later.

So true! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do that.

Today I put together all my colorful paperclips that our leader lets us take (one for each pound you lose) and wrapped them around my rear view mirror. I can see it but it doesn't hang down or swing or anything. Got the idea from someone else at the Y; DS looked at the car next to us the other week and said "hey, they go to Weight Watchers!" I figured I'd do the same. I don't have a lot of temptations that bug me (see the "eat all points coming to me" mention above...it keeps the desperate need for extremely naughty things at bay!), but when I do have them, it's when I'm out and about. So that paperclip chain might help me in the future.

 

[Mermaid02]

Finally hit my 10% last night!!! Got my key chain and promptly put my gym membership tag on it! I have joined and quit WW MANY times but since they started celebrating losing 10% this is the first time I have actually done it. My next goal is to lose 10% of my new current weight!
