[jessc79]

Nice surprise, I guess! Congratulations!!!

Thanks I was actually pretty down thinking I really screwed up. I almost gave up! I'm glad I didn't though...still want to be down 30 more lbs 60 total for our WDW trip dec 6-14

Had my WI after week 1. Down 2.8 lbs.

Welcome and congratulations

Keahgirl- congrats on the amazing loss!!!!

I myself just came back from our week at the French Quarter and i am disappointed that I gained about 6lbs!!!!!! Guess walking 12 mile/30,000 step days didnt do much. I didnt think I was even that bad.
Anybody else gain this much while at Disney?

I am back on track and have about 4 to go to get to my pretrip weight!

WI today. Down 1.6 lbs for a total of 18! They also took one of my daily points today but I have a hard time eating all of them so I'm good with that. Lol! Plus now I've got AP as well although I haven't used them yet. Knowing they are there is comforting.

Some of the girls at work are trying to convince me to do a 5k in April. It's a walk-run so I'm thinking about it. Hope everyone is having a great week!

You should do the 5k!! Especially since it is a walk-run thing, you can take it at your own pace. Maybe search online for an exercise routine that will help build you up to that point. Could be a lot of fun and a great sense of accomplishment!

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?

As for dd, she reached the 50 lb mark last week and lost another 3.2 this week. Even she didn't expect that.

You and your DD are doing GREAT! You'll hit the 50 lb mark next week .

This is the plan I am doing to get started. You could totally be ready for a 5k by April! Even if you needed to repeat weeks.

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

That looks really helpful. Kind of a silly question but can this be done on a treadmill? I know its only August, but I live in NY and winters can be brutal. Also I'm too embarrassed to run outside. I think I would look like Phoebe on Friends when she was running around the park with Rachel! Once I *can* run and have lost some more weight I won't be so self conscious.

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!

Yes, you can totally do it on a treadmill! I'm doing it outside for now but once it gets super cold, I'm moving to the treadmill.

I'm sure I look like a hot jiggly mess while I do it but oh well! I feel sorry for any of my neighbors who witness my "work outs" lol

I always like to start on a treadmill because I know I will push myself more. When I run outside I'm always worried about doing to much and still having to turn around and go home. At least on the treadmill I can push all the way, and when I'm done I just hop off and the workout is over, haha!

I'm down another 1.8 lbs this week so I'm almost back to my pre-vacation weight. I was so hoping to reach that 45 lbs mark on my birthday. I missed it by .6 but I need to go back and double check those numbers. Hope everyone has a great week!

Welcome! I started back in May with about 62 to lose. I'm almost half way there. YOU CAN DO IT!
That being said, if you feel like you can't stay on track along the way- go to a meeting. Some people aren't about the meetings (I wasn't at first), but it has kept me on track this time around. Either way- check in here too and keep us all updated. Starting is the hardest part!

 

[Mermaid02]

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.

 

[sjms71]

I hate that I only seem to pop in every once and a while these days.

WELCOME! to those that are new. And I can't say this enough, great job to everyone, it amazes me when I see everyone's numbers every week. I lost big in the beginning but I never could consistently do that every week. I think over two years and 70+ lbs gone my average was like .7-.9 a week. Anyway, my point is you all are really working the program and should all be proud of yourselves!

ROBIN, welcome back girl. We missed you around here. I loved your trip post. It was really interesting and really makes you think how other cultures eat and stay so thin. Glad your back!

This is my kids first week back to school. I now have a 7th grader and 9th grader. So, it's been a crazy week getting up by 5:30 a.m. Both kids are on different time schedules for the first time so it's been 2 morning routines. So, I'm all out of sorts this week and exhausted. Glad it's a three day weekend coming up.

Have a great rest of the week everyone. Keep rockin all those lbs off!

I ate lunch at Friendly's today when I took the kids school shopping. I hadn't eaten yet so that was a plus. It was 32 points! I kinda expected it but stuff like that is definitely an eye opener. I haven't used any of my WP or AP yet so I should be ok.

On the plus side, while shopping I bought some actual workout clothes.

Yeaa for workout clothes!! I think when you have workout clothes, you feel guilty if you don't use them, haha!! Plus it's always nice to look not a hot mess when you work out (not that they help me look that much better!! haha)! Hope you enjoy them!

At my meeting today the leader was talking about the new ActiveLink device. It sounds interesting, as it is supposed to challenge you to be more active by charting all your activity for the day. I would be untested to hear if anyone decides to get one and what their experiences are with it. This as the first week my WW store was selling them, although I understand the leaders have been trialling them for a while now. It sounds like what a fitbit is, but I don't have one of me either.

I had a good loss this week 2.6! I find that tracking everything (and i mean each and every little thing) really helps me stay on track. My leader said something interesting a few weeks ago that really made me think. She said, "Only track the weeks you want to lose. If you don't want to lose, don't track.". That has really kept me tracking when ever I think about that, because I want to lose.

We have been hearing about it for a month and our area isn't supposed to get it until November

 

[alizesmom]

I have the fitbit and love it. It certainly motivates me.
