Morning All!

Just wanted to say hi. Just did 45 min. n the treadmill so I feel like I am doing good so far this week. Hoping the scale thinks so too!

What I have been doing the last couple weeks is watching the TV series Brothers and Sisters on my IPAD via Netflix streaming. Each episode is 42 minutes, so every day I watch one episode while I workout. It makes the time fly and is a great soap opera for adults. Get a guilty pleasure while earning some points!

Have a great day!

Great Idea - I know my DD does this on her Ipod touch - I should have her show me how to do it - right now I watch reruns of MASH while I exercise

Good Morning WW Friends,

It's a yucky Wednesday here, rain and snow - I'm really tired of this weather - it is depressing me

Welcome to our new friends, so glad to see all the activity here - it's so motivating to hear everyone's successes. Keep up the good work.

We celebrated my DD's 19th birthday yesterday - she wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Since I started WW, we have limited eating out - I just don't make good decisions, but happy to report that I did well. I had the pulled pork dinner, backed sweet potato, 1/2 roll and carrots/broccoli. I also had a small piece of birthday cake. I brought 1/2 of my dinner home, so I felt good with my choices.

Hope everyone has a good day!

You MUST eat all your weekly points. They are there for you to eat and the program is designed for you to lose weight based on those numbers. My suggestion is always if you don't want more food choose food with slightly higher points (2% milk instead of skim, nuts, reg. cheese......). If you are exercising a lot and earning activity points you really should be eating some of those as well.

I think what my friend Stephanie meant to say is that you must eat all your daily points to get the program to work. The weekly points are there to utilize as you need them. Some weeks I used them all, and even dip into my Activity Points; some weeks I only need a few of the weekly points.

Her advise about how to up the point value of foods is right on. Also, don't forget to include healthy oils and dairy in your daily selections.

Congratulations on your loss.

Unfortunately, I found a couple of your pounds at my WI. I was up 2. I expected to have a gain, but not that much. I'm on track today and will really work the program for the next week. Hoping for a scale reward next Wednesday.

Congratulations on that huge loss!!

I realized today that our trip to Europe/Disney cruise is just a little over 3 months away! EEK!!! Now I really have to buckle down and get these 13.6 pounds off that I want to lose before the trip. Especially now that I found out that DH bought my lusted-after-goal-weight-reward for me and is holding it until I hit that goal. I'm dying to have it, so I have to be good and stay motivated.

Thanks for the info on eating points - I went ahead and had a snack before bed and ended up with 2 estra points...but I was stuffed and thought it seemed silly to eat b/c I had to.

I had everything I needed yesterday - covered fruites, veggies, protein, oils and dairy so I feel good about it.

Hi everyone... I have been following along for a few weeks and am delurking myself...
My name is Jessi... I am on my 6th week of my 3rd go round with WW (this time online) and am currently loving the new program... especially with the app! I have about 50 pounds to lose and love the Pandora bracelet idea... I have that as my 15 lb goal... at 5 lbs i got a pedicure and at 10 i get to open my new Disney World CD! It's sitting on my counter to remind me to make good choices... sometimes it works and sometimes not... i have no one to blame but myself!

I am happily married to my high school sweetheart (who has never had an ounce of fat on his body ever!) for almost 12 years and we have 3 kids ages 14, 11, and 7. girl, boy, girl... I also care for many other children in my in-home daycare that i run out of my basement. Temptations are always around... and no one is here for me to be accountable to...

I have a love/hate relationship with running and have completed the Disney World Half Marathon 4 times. I hate to run but i love love love race day! I have a few races that i am signed up for in the next few months including my first ever triathlon! because why suck at 1 sport when I can suck at 3, right? lol!

Looking forward to getting to know you guys!

even though you thought you'd be up I know it must be frustrating especially so close to goal. Maybe some of it's water weight and you'll have a big one next week. Then off to Disney for you soon after that.

Welcome, Jessi! ...I'm the other Jessie (with an 'e'.)

Congratulations on all of your marathons. I'd like to do one some day. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

What a horrible day today! We received a tonne of snow overnight. It snowed all day and it's still snowing. Yesterday, spring was here, the robins were out and there was no snow, we're back to winter boots and snowsuits again.

After slipping and sliding trying to pull away from all the stop signs, I managed to arrive at my WW Center safely. I just weighed in and left today without staying for the meeting. I had grocery shopping to do and just wanted to get back home because of the weather. I popped into Walmart and picked up 4 of the WW frozen chocolate cakes at $2 each. We got coupons at today's weigh-in that were buy on get one free! We got new scales last week which weigh to the point so it sounded strange when I was told that I was down 1.3 since it's been even numbers for years. Anyway, I'm happy with that considering how difficult it's been to lose lately. This week I managed to step on the scale just 3 times, which is an accomplishment for me since it's usually at miminum 5 times per day!

I feel like today is going much better than yesterday...the pizza we ordered for dinner was not the best idea. This morning I walked over 4 miles with my WW buddy and then this afternoon I took a 45 minute power walk while my car was in for an oil change. I was proud of myself for not sitting in the waiting area and the fresh air wonders for my mental attitude.

 

[shinysparklybubbles]

I read this thread, but never posted....but I found a new Special K bar (chocolately pretzel) which is delicious and only 2 points!

I LOVE them but they have peanut flour in them and my son is allergic to peanuts and we keep a peanut free home They are really good! The fiber one 90 calorie chocolate ones are pretty good but not as good as the Special K ones. The raspbery cheesecake ones are awful!

WooHoo 1.3, that's great!! Good job too on cutting back on your scale stalking, . Ugh, you must be so sick of snow. I know all my Northern US friends and family had temps in the 70's over the weekend and snow yesterday and today, go figure. It was 80 and breezy here in NC the last two days. I've been working in the yard like a maniac. Here in NC it usually goes from freezing to 3 weeks of spring to blazing hot and humid.

Checking in after today's weigh-in ...

... stayed EXACTLY the same. I always question that - I find it so hard to believe that there can be no change (up or down). This is the third time in thirteen weeks that I've stayed the same.

I'd be fibbing if I said I wasn't disappointed. I had a good week - followed the plan, made good choices - was hoping to see a loss. I am "thisclose" to the 20 pound mark, and thought I would reach it this morning.

But - I am focused and hope I will see the results at next week's weigh-in .

These are my stats so far:

Week 1: -3
Week 2: stayed the same
Week 3: -4
Week 4: -2.4
Week 5: -.8
Week 6: stayed the same
Week 7: -2 (SFT)
Week 8: -2.2 (SFT)
Week 9: -1.2
Week 10: used NWI pass
Week 11: -.6
Week 12: -2.6
Week 13: stayed the same

Total: Down 18.8

I would love to do the Simply Filling Technique again this week, but have a few days where it just wouldn't work. Maybe next week.

Hope all of you Tuesday weighers had a good weigh-in .

I think it just might be a cycle thing, if you KWIM, since it's just about every 3-4 weeks. Is it around your TOM? I see that you (usually) lose quite a bit after you stay the same so it could be related bloating. In any case, you have not GAINED weight in the last 13 weeks do that, in and of itself, is a victory. I will take a 0 over a positive number any day!

Thanks! Sorry for your gain. You can work off those pounds this week for an awesome loss next time.

I know what you mean about the snow and cold. It's yucky here, too. Everyone is feeling sorry for the robins. I haven't been able to run outdoors this week because it's just too dangerous -- slippery ice on sidewalks and roads. The treadmill just isn't the same.

I'm so impressed with your success at staying away from the home scales and on your loss. I'm jealous that your WW center's scales measure to the tenths. I'm to the point now where a 0.1 loss would sometimes be welcome and it's frustrating to watch the digits flutter an entire 4/10s of a pound while it decides your fate.

I did like the message from this week that the scales are feedback, not necessarily a measure of failure if you don't lose.

WI last night and was actuakky down .6 Nice, considering I was in WDW for 5 days last week!

That's great! I hope I can say the same after my trip. I'll miss the 4/7 WI because we'll be at WDW.
