Some this weekend was off track for me. I had my BBQ and just veered off into the weeds for the weekend. I totally planned for a gain. So today I got on the scale ready to take my lumps and it showed I am up about 3. Since this is only the second time in 12 weeks that I've had a gain I was ready to suck it up and move on. I went to put the weight into my phone but it hadn't popped up so I could. So I tried again bum, my WI isn't until tomorrow! Lol So now I will have to go through the whole process again! But I am back on track today.

A GREAT week for me!!!

In spite of 3 days in Las Vegas, I am down 4 lbs. for the week

My total loss since 7/9 is 14.2 lbs. This is going slower than I had hoped, but I'm convinced as I perfect my understanding and participation in the WW program, these pounds are going to stay gone!!! I have 39.8 to go and feel pretty confident that I can do it!

Everyone have a good week!!!

Tried on some old clothes tonight. Some shirts I couldn't wear last year were HUGE. It really made me think...how did I let it get that far? I knew I needed to do something, but I had no idea how out of control I'd let it get.

Way to go. I've lost 65 pounds since January and my "tight clothes" now fall off of me. And I didn't even feel that fat before.

I've lost motivation the last couple of months because the gym equipment at my apts was down. It's back up now, but its hard getting back into my routine. Burned 430 calories tonight but then my legs felt like noodles. Lol.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I knew I was pretty big, but I don't think I realize how big. I tried on a flannel shirt that I couldn't button last year. It is so big on me, it looks ridiculous...and I'm not even done yet! Unreal.

Keep working on staying motivated! Take it one day at a time, and don't push yourself too hard. If it has been a while since you've worked out, you may not be ready to jump back up to the level you were at before.

Is anyone else peeved with eTools? The search is returning recipes first and then things are really garbled and hard to pick out what I want. I type in "chicken fajita" and a Campbell soup comes up near the top! If I wanted soup, I would have ASKED for "soup".

I am peeved with them all the time! It drives me nuts that I scan a WW meal and it is not even there! That and the missing restaurants has me so irritated I have not been tracking like I should.

My neighbor noticed I lost weight! That had made my day!!

Hello!

I started WW this past Saturday and after scratching my head at the Community section on their eTools website, I was relieved to see a group of folks on the WISH boards.

I'd love to join in on your group as I'm trying to take stronger steps towards weight loss than I've tried in the past and one of those steps is surrounding myself with like-minded people.

I'm trying to lose between 60 and 70 pounds but just focusing on the first 5% to start with.

Welcome!! I often go to their boards, but it's pretty confusing, and threads just move on -- it doesn't go to the top when people post to them, so the conversation just gets lost.

Had my WI this morning, down 1.4 for a total of 9.6 lbs in 6 weeks! I can't wait to get my ribbon! I'm sure I will get it next week!

I think the exact same way. I just didn't see it -- I never thought of myself as morbidly obese, just overweight. But I guess with 120+ pounds to lose, that was my reality. My daughters are quick to look at me and say, "Mom, that shirt goes in the giveaway pile. Don't wear it again. You look so much better when you wear clothes that fit."

I am peeved with them all the time! It drives me nuts that I scan a WW meal and it is not even there! That and the missing restaurants has me so irritated I have not been tracking like I should.

I don't want this to sound mean, but you are only hurting yourself by not tracking. Don't let these irritations control you!

What a great compliment! I saw an old co-worker last week who really had a lot to say about people's weight behind their backs and I had to think, "Timmy boy, look at me now." I have to admit that I put a little sway in my hips and stood a little taller when I walked away. LOL.

Welcome aboard! My dd who is doing WW online is very active in the community section but I just didn't care for it. The gang here has been a great source of encouragement for me since I joined them. And we can talk Disney and nobody rolls their eyes.

I'm sure it's a matter of just spending time to catch the rhythm of the WW boards but I'm not really on long enough to 'get it'. The Dis feels like home so this is perfect!

Well WI was today and I showed a gain of a little over 2 pounds. I knew I was going to be up so time to buckle down. I think I'm getting sick too so it should be an interesting week. I will do better next week. Hope everyone is having a great day!

How wonderful!!!! Congrats - that is better than seeing the weight drop down on the scales!!! Your hard work is paying off !!!

Question to those more experienced at WW than I:

Do you use your Weekly Points at all? Do you have any opinion on that? I do use my activity points most days so far, partly because I'm still getting used to staying within my points each day.
