Weight Watchers Chat

[Mouse House Mama]

Hey ladies! Congrats on all your victories! I have WI tomorrow. I am hoping for a loss. I stayed completely on plan this week. I even went for a walk/run yesterday. I definetly need to exercise more but I was in better shape than I thought so that was motivating.
I made a big pot of the cabbage soup for this week to keep me from eating junk. I have also been enjoying strawberries with the 0 pp chocolate dip from walden farms. Yummy! I did a good food shop this week with lots of fresh produce. I am looking foward to eating all of it!

Why I love WW.....

because I can eat a GS Thin Mint cookie and still be on plan! One point and it was all I needed to feel satisfied.

Any other diet and you eat a cookie and feel like you've failed. While with WW you can eat and account for it and lose weight! I love it. Just started the beginning of January, have lost an average of 1.5 lbs. per week and feel so much better about myself. Can't wait until I'm down 15 lbs., then 20, the 25.


Tonight's low point dinner:

whole wheat tortilla (2 pts)
shredded chicken breast (1 oz. =1 pt)
black beans (1 oz. = 0 pts)
sauteed onions and bell pepper (1 pt. for the olive oil)
lettuce
fat-free shredded cheese (1/8 cup = 1 pt)

Delicious! And filling! And only 6 pts.!!!


Besides feeling better with weight loss, I feel better knowing I'm eating more fruits and veggies and less fat. This is so much better for my heart! After having issues in the past with heart palpitations (giving up caffeine helped) I like knowing that I am eating in a heart healthy manner. Can't wait for my cholesteral check next month.

Anyway, into week 8 here. And glad I don't weigh what I did only 7 weeks ago. That excess baby weight is gone for good. YAY!

Sounds very similar to my dinner tonight . The only difference is I used reduced-fat shredded cheese - I can't stand the fat-free stuff - I use an extra point or two to "upgrade" to reduced-fat.

Not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh-in. I went waaaaaay off program Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm taking close to 100 points a day - ate out each day and could not control myself. Appetizers, dessert, the whole nine yards .

But - I tracked and will face the music. If I'm up a pound or two - it is my own fault. Got back on track this morning and know that I am still down overall.

Good luck tomorrow Laura. Try not to stress about it to much. Believe it or not when I have had a bad week and dread weigh in it seems a huge weight is lifted after I weigh in and face the music!!

Hi!!
Hope it's not too late to join in the chat!

I re-joined WW on 11/29/10. I LOVE it! I have been on WW many, many times. I keep coming back because it works. As long as I stick to it. I can lose, but maintaining is hard for me. So far I have had some decent success. I have lost 12.7 so far. I gained at first because I don't think I was doing it right and I wasn't writing down my bites, licks, and tastes..and when I started to track those...HOLY smokes ..they add up fast!

I am looking forward to reading about you all and finding out what works for you and feeling the support and offering my support to any and all who need it.

Laura,

I was in the same boat as you - I had a terrible Fri, Sat and Sun, just way too much eating and I didn't even eat out, which frustrates me even more. Even though we fell off the wagon, what is important is that we get right back on track and move forward. You have a great attitudue!!

Daisy - its never too late to join in - glad you found us and welcome back to WW. I agree the program works. I lost about 80 pounds several years ago and left myself gain most of it back, so maintenance really scares me too! I know its going to be a long road and a daily battle, but I'm taking it one day at a time!

good luck...facing a weigh in after a bad weekend is hard to do so kudos to you for not skipping out getting back on track is the key!

Happy Tuesday Morning WW Friends,

Hope everyone is doing well and staying on program. Yesterday was a good day for me, stayed on program all day and the scale cooperated this morning.

I decided yesterday that I will be running in the Princess 1/2 Marathon in 2012 - I was looking at the pictures from this past weekend's run and decided that is something I want to do - so in addition to the WDW 1/2 marathon in January, I will be doing this in February 2012. Anyone want to join me???

I've been thinking about this as well...I've always said I'll never be a marathon runner; I was happy just running 3 miles and doing some 5Ks or maybe even 10K, but as time goes on the thought of doing a Disney 1/2 has been creeping into my mind. I need to give it more thought....running with a pal sounds like fun! I can't get anyone here to run local races with me and it's kind of a bummer. What is the date for the Princess 1/2?

The date for next year's marathon is February 26th. I never thought that I would be able to run 13.1 miles, but I started doing the Couch to 5K program 8 weeks ago and now I can jog 25 minutes. I have been researching 1/2 marathon training programs and the majority of them recommend a jog/walk ratio for the entire race - so you don't actually need to be able to run 13.1 miles. I am a slow runner, but I know that with training I will be able to maintain the pace necessary to run the 1/2 and the motiation to be able to run through the Magic Kingdom will keep me going!

In what isle do you find the chocolate dip? I went to my local store that said had it but I went up and down all the isles and couldn't find it .

It is in the produce department usually by the salad dressings there and next to the tofu stuff. (Veggie dogs etc.) It is a refrigerated item. I have to go get more!

I'm doing it with DD16 and my sister. There is another thread on the WISH board devoted to the 2012 Princess Half. A lot of beginners there. I ran my first 5K in December after doing the C25K. I was a runner until having a child got in the way, I gained weight, had back surgery, etc. etc. Now I am following the Galloway method (sort of) and am up to running 6 miles with one minute walks after about 10 minutes of running for my "long" run days. So, I'll see you there!

After walking every isle I did go back to the fresh produce and looked there. No such luck . Another food chain says they have it according to the website so going to check there.

I don't know if you have them by you but I got the chocolate one at Best Yet. The dressings they had at other stores though.

I will be turning 40 on Feb 23, 2012 and am seriously considering doing the Princess 1/2 to celebrate the milestone.
