Weight Watchers Chat -- Part III

[CdnBuzzFan]

I've found a cute motivator that I have right in my kitchen of a just 2 small jars - one filled with glass beads. The one with glass beads has on it "Pounds to Lose" the other "Pounds Lost". Every time I lose a pound I move a bead to the "lost" jar. I really enjoy seeing the beads collecting in that jar, especially when I want to grab a night time snack. After cleaning up after dinner, I put the jars front and center on my counter so I have to see it to get to the fridge.

Hope everyone has been having great weeks.

Great idea !

Congrats on your weight loss everyone! If you didn't have a loss, don't give up! It'll come back down!

I went pants shopping today. I am down another size, which makes three total! I actually tried on skinny jeans in Old Navy and they fit! It has been a long time since shopping for jeans was not a traumatic experience!

Been away for a few weeks with the boys camps, and prepping for back to school.

WI today and I was down an additional 3.2 lbs, losing all 6 lbs I gained on my three and a half week vacation in FL in July!! Was very excited for that! Just 3.7lbs more to hit the 10% target (unfortunately again), then 18.3lbs to goal!

I love this idea I lost 2lbs this week (my first -this time around anyway!) and havve decided to put £2 cash in a jar for every lb I lose so that hopefully I will have the funds for a new wardrobe when I reach goal (or mini-goal along they way)

This made me smile I'm determined not to shop for clothes until I'm down a size. Which is my excuse for looking rather faded and worn out at the minute

My legs are still sore from the workout video the other day. I have to work tonight so I am going to hold off doing it again just yet. I'm already stiff and walking slowly. No need to make that worse! Tomorrow is weigh in and I will see how much damage I did with the peanut butter pie from my son's birthday!

 

[keahgirl8]

It's weigh-in day! I am down 3.4 pounds, 67.8 total! This is less than 50 pounds from my goal!

My mom grew up in Bergen County, but I may have you beat with the most North, I grew up in Sussex County . My husband and I settled in Hunterdon Co. for many years before his job moved us to North Carolina. Miss jersey though.

I didn't think about sussex...lol I'm literally 10 minutes from the NY state border. We were thinking about moving to North Carolina for my hubby's job, but it fell through. ( Ah well.[/QUOTE]

I'm in Sussex

for the jar idea! Love it. I saw pictures of me taken at the birthday party yesterday. Oh my, not flattering at all. After losing 46 lbs it is so obvious that I have a long way to go. I didn't realize how much I still look like "before" and not what I think I look like, if that makes sense.

You inspire me! Thanks for always posting your updates.

How did you decide your goal? No one at WW talked to me about goals, just showed me a chart and said that I need to get down to the range on the chart. In my head, I'm shooting for the highest number on the chart for my goal, since that's pretty much what I was in high school. But I'm wondering if there is something more official I should know about.

Where is that in relation to West Milford? I have family there.

You're welcome! I try to be totally transparent with my progress, because I know it helps me to read about what other people are doing.

I did the same thing you did to pick my goal. I looked at a chart and picked the highest number for my height. I figure if I get there and want to lose more, I can.

Holy Cow 67.8 is awesome and still losing big numbers every week this far in..... Bravo!

 

[luvmygrljb]

Weigh in today for me was not what I expected. I stayed the same...worked out this week and tracked, so I'm blaming on that time of the month. Here's to next week being better!

Sometimes that happens especially with TOM. keep doin what your doin and I'm sure next week you will see a loss.

Another 2.4 lbs this week! I'm really happy with that since we were out of town, ate out a lot, and I wasn't tracking. I did make good choices, like the baked salmon and whole sweet potato at the truck stop where everyone was having burgers! It was shockingly good! LOL. 11.9 lbs total in 5 weeks. Yay! I signed up for a learn to run program starting September 4th and although I wanted to wait to be down 20 lbs, it's the only one offered. I'm going to try for 15 by then!

Feeling so much better already.

 

[wvjules]

I haven't weighed in since August 2. I've been on vacation since then. My first weigh in after returning will be Thursday. My goal was to not gain more than 2#. So far my home scale says I've gained more than that but not much more. I'll take the number, know I've "earned" it and move on. It's nice to be back on a routine though. I also haven't seen a salad in over 2 weeks. Tonight is chicken buritos for dinner but tomorrow night I'm have a big salad!
