Weight Watchers Chat -- Part III

[nocomment711]

Nice! I wish I wasn't so socially awkward as to be able to work out at the state police gym. Everyone there is so fit and... judgey. I guess it's a drive to the gym at lunch for me.

I had to share with my Dis WW friends...I was interviewed for a podcast called Half Size Me about my weight loss journey! If you only knew how unlike the old me this is...it is a huge step forward for me.

Cool! You will post a link here, right?

I was not very optimistic about my weigh in but I was down 1.8 pounds. Total loss for the last 4 weeks is 5.4 pounds.

I wasn't sure if I was allowed to. I apologize if I'm not!

Keahgirl8 I will be checking it out too. You are definitely an inspiration!

As for me, I'm down 0.6 today. A total of 21.2.

As much as I want to beat myself up for all the poor eating I did this week I'm just going to move on. I'm a type A overacheiver and just *know* that I could do better. But time limits are preventing that. Soooo... plodding along and reminding myself I didn't get this way by overeating just ONE day. As long as I don't quit I'm still winning.

Hope everyone has a great day. I'm off to see how much phase 2 of my daughter's orthodontics are going to be.

Thank you! You are absolutely right. Never quit. You can't change what is already done. You just have to move on from here.

Week 2 of no loss. I have drastically increased my exercise level, so hopefully, that just has to sort itself out. I am still trying to get my eating adjusted to all of this exercise, so we will see what happens next!

Do you work at the state police station where the gym is? I would guess that they are less "judgey" than just involved in their own workouts and not particularly welcoming. I know it's hard to be out of shape and work out with people who are very fit, but it's NOT about them. It's about YOU. I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid them.

Yes, what she said! It is likely that people aren't judging you as much as you think. They are too caught up in their own stuff. If they are judging you, who cares! These are not the opinions that should be important to you anyway!

I need some online tutoring. I've forgotten how to update measurements online. I keep clicking, but it's for editing or deleting what I've got in there previously. I want to add new measurements to see if there's been a change. How do I do that?

You need to go to "Weight Tracker" then click on the "Table View" tab .

I went to my meeting today. I have really upped my exercise quite a bit (8 APs 3 weeks ago, 16 APs 2 weeks ago, 32 APs last week). My goal is to do an average of 30-minutes per day. Anyway ... I gained weight last week from (I assume) water retention. So (hanging my head in shame) I skipped last week's meeting. I dragged myself to the meeting today and lo and behold! I lost .2 lbs! For someone who was expecting to GAIN, the measly .2 was fantastic! I am still hoping for a whooshie after my body stops holding onto water to repair my muscles. BUT ... that tiny little .2 has me motivated to keep on working out and making my February Exercise Challenge!

I haven't been here since December! I cancelled my subscription to WW online in mid-December. I thought I could do it on my own, but I guess not. I have gained back 3 pounds. Not too bad for somoene who hasn't been tracking for almost 2 months.

I am getting back to WW Online. I have 30 pounds left to lose and I would like to lose it before the end of the year.

Congrats to everyone on their losses. And have a great week!

I think you need to pat yourself on the back! Not only did you gain ONLY 3 lbs (heck, some of us gained 3 lbs over Christmas while tracking) but you are back with WW and you have a very reasonable goal.

Thank you robinb!

I think I just got tired of counting points and tracking. But, I now realise that I need to count and track otherwise I just overeat. I really need to work on the overeating thing. It won't be easy to get back on track, and to counting points but boards like this one really do help!

I was gone for a few days and I think I forgot to check in here on Tuesday after WI. Up .2 . Oh well. Next week is a new week.
