ok, so vacation is going ok it is very busy this week at Disney all of LA is here. However, I did spend the entire morning in ergent care . I have had this bad pain in my lower back since Sunday. Thought it might be a kidney stone but DR. doesn't think so. I guess that's good but he really didn't know. Treating me for pain in a UTI even though he didn't think that was it. I know it's not just back pain even though he thought maybe that was it. I have back pain, it's not that. So, I will suffer through until we go home. I feel fine except for this pain. Anyway, I haven't really exercised other than walking. Hope everyone else is having a great week.

Thanks for checking in - we miss you. Sorry to hear about the back pain - I hope its not kindey stones, I've had them several times and they are painful - like childbirth pain without a baby to show for it. for you, I hope you feel better and can enjoy the rest of your trip.

LOL, I can't wait til I have 'droopy drawers!!'

I had my weigh-in this morning and lost 5lbs this week for a total of 14.8lbs lost. It felt good when I saw family on Sunday that I hadn't seen since Christmas and they were commenting on how great I look.

YAYYYY!! That's wonderful! I'll be seeing my family in two weeks -- will have been two months -- and I'm hoping for the same thing.

Hello My name is Tina and I was wondering if I can join in on the ww fun?! I am currently signed up online with ww. I am a chronic weight watcher. I like the flexibility of the plan, and usually do well, but once I get comfortable I slack off. I really have to stop doing that I really start to get on my own nerves when it comes to how many times I have done this, so I can only imagine how much I probably drive my DH nuts. I know it works, so I need to just stick with it. I get easily discouraged if I don't see results fast enough (I know, I know..)
We are heading back to the world on April 30th and then again in October, it would be really nice to have skinny pics in our October trip to compare to the April trip

Laura that is too funny about the droopy drawers . I remember when my undies were sagging. Keep up the good work.

Hahahaha...love it! They say not to base your success on the number on the scale, and right now your undergarments are giving you a big "HOORAY"!!

LOL - after I originally hit "submit", I was afraid I might have posted it to the Community Board or the Budget Board - not sure how my tale of droopy drawers would have gone over on another board .

Hi Tina,

More than a few of us a "chronic" WWs (I like that term). We're all hopeful that this will be the last time we have to start over. So welcome to our crazy crew! We totally understand where you're coming from and where you want to go. Save your DH a headache, and turn to us.

Good luck on your journey.

What a bummer Stephanie. I hope you're magically cured NOW. Not fun to have happen on vacation.

Thank you, I am feeling better however, yesterday it bothered me all day and went away by dinner then in the middle of the night, OMG, I thought I was going into Labor the pain was so bad. It's not my entire back it's just on the left kidney area. Who knows hoping to get a good night sleep tonight.

On the disney note watched wishes tonight and the new thing where they flash pictures taken in the parks on the castle is really cool.

I've never had kidney stones but that is the first thing I thought of. That is exactly how it felt as I was having back labor but just in that one area. The Dr. said I would have groin pain if it was kidney stones. I am just glad I am feeling better this evening.

Hi and thanks for this thread!!
Having just joined WW in early Feb (lost 5.1 so far) I've been a little worried about counting points in WDW. I have sooo many questions!

1. What about DDP? It seemed like alot of food last year, before I began counting.
2. Where are the best places to eat the healthier foods?
3. Will walking all day in the scorching Florida sun work off more points?
4. How well do you other WW's do at the post-trip weigh-ins?

Sorry, my mind is anxious to pre-plan all of my meals for our July trip, yet still enjoy myself and RELAX a little!

I have my next weigh-in tomorrow night (weigh-in Wednesday!!), so wish me luck.. Thanks and

Welcome to the club. Different people will have different positions on your questions, but here are my two cents:

1. I will not do the dining plan while on WW. Even if it were free dining, I'd do a room discount (I have an AP). Although you can say you don't have to eat desserts, it's just too tempting. If I have to separately buy a dessert, I don't get one unless I really want it. Having it "part of the price" hurts me.

2. There are healthier options everywhere. I particularly like Sunshine Seasons at Epcot. There are carts selling fresh fruits and veggies now. That didn't use to be the case. You can also request carrots or apple slices instead of fries at CS restaurants. The TS restaurants will also work with you to get healthier options -- you just have to ask. We also order breakfast stuff and snacks from www.gardengrocer.com.

3. All the walking is great. I never count it as Activity Points though.

4. Last April, before WW, we went to WDW and had the QSDP. I'm sure I gained weight, but when I saw photos from that trip, I immediately joined WW (mid-April). In August, while on WW, we visited WDW for a week and we did not do a DDP, we ate at a wide variety of places -- including Yachtsman Steakhouse -- and I had a couple of Mickey Bars, a Dole Whip, and other treats. I also exercised at the BWV gym a few times. I kinda kept track of points on my Blackberry, but I was not Type-A about it. Upon return, I lost 2 pounds since the prior WI two weeks before. If you read through the thread, you'll find some people gain and some lose. But, they always acknowledge why and how that happened.

You have some time to go before July. By then, you will have really formed a habit and making wise selections will be second nature. We head back to WDW on April 1 and I know I'm ready.

Weigh in day... down 2.2lbs! That's a total of 12.2 lbs! My goal was 15 by vacation, so I feel like it's going to be close! I'm loving WW more everyday!

Hi.. how do I figure out online at WW how many points my homecooked recipe is? Also, I am looking to see if anyone has a points calculator they would like to sell. Where I attend meetings, we have been told they are out and have no idea when they will get any.

Use the recipe builder and enter all the ingredients and the servings and it will calculate the points.

Bummer about the calculators - WW needs to something about this quickly - they are the key to the program - I would be lost without mine! Hope you find one soon!

calculators are out across the country...supposed to be getting some this month; they have been saying 3/20 but we shall see. You can use the calculator on eTools and if you have smartphone you can download a calculator app. I don't have smartphone but I really want one so I can get the calculator app. I dont want to have to carry around a separate calculator in my purse.
