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

Whoo hoo! You are amazing .

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.

{snip}

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.

I would love to have a scale that measures in 10ths too! Good luck on your WDW trip and have fun .

Just back from weigh in with the official damage from 2 weeks at Disney. The bad news is I didn't fair as well as some others just back . The good news (I guess) is I am up 3lbs. I say good cause I feel I really ate this time and it seemed we didn't do as much walking as in September so thought it would be way worse. Good luck to all other weigh ins today!!!

Three pounds is NOTHING! It'll be gone in no time .

I am dreading tomorrow's weigh in. I was up .4 last week *sigh* so I decided to get serious. I have been on target for my points this week and I have started working out more. I started week 1 of C25K *again* (it's spring, LOL!) and I also did my EA Active Wii game twice. I WI tomorrow and I have 1 weekly point left and all 10 AP. BUT my scale at home is UP from last week. So frustrating!!! I'm hoping for a miracle here .

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!

Sorry to hear about the snow - I am so ready for spring to come and STAY! Congrats on the loss - I hope we get new scales soon too! Is your meeting computerized as well?

I'm a daily scale stepper too - I only get on once a day and always at the same time (right before I exercise in the AM). I had read once that people for lose weight and succussfully keep it off weigh themselves daily - it keeps them accountable.

3 lbs isn't that bad after a vacation - I hope I can say the same thing when we get back our cruise later in the year.

I have to agree with Robin on this. After 2 weeks at WDW, part of it on the Dining Plan and part of it not feeling well, to only gain a few pounds is a success.

Hey Robin, when you started this thread 13 months ago, did you ever dream it would last this long and have this many posts and views? Truly phenomenal!

Sorry for those getting lots of snow - we might get flurries here in Ohio and after a week of 60-70 degrees I am sure the kids will end up sick this weekend!

Its great to read so many people losing weight! I also think only gaining 3 pounds after a 2 week trip to Disney on the dining plan is great. I never worry about my weight while on vacation and just work to recover when I get home!

I am scale stalker although I have heard that it is bad b/c your weight can really fluctuate and it might discourage you to see less each day. I have tried to stay off since Monday when I started and decided to take a peek today - I have lost 5.5 pounds!!! I am so excited.

So glad there is a thread with fellow WWs! I am a newbie to DIS and love it so far...even better now that I found this thread. I go tonight and am hoping to finally meet my 10% mark. I've been doing WW since 12/2. My next Disney trip is planned for 5/3-5/8 and we have DDP! I will not be counting points at WDW (aren't all the foods there zero points?) but am already dreading the return weigh in. Hopefully I will counteract some of the gain that I anticipate with all the walking, swimming and fun!

 

[ReneeDisney]

aren't all the foods there zero points!

YES!!!! and Welcome!!!

 

[mrsschlep]

Thank you for the welcome and congrats on all the losses! I also think 3 pounds is not a bad thing after 2 weeks at disney! So chin up...

I wanted to share a really yummy 2pp snack that i just stumbled upon... they are brand new and may not be in every store yet? I am friends with a rep and he gave me some samples...
They are made by Quaker and called Smash Bars... kinda like a granola bar with pretzels, chocolate chunks, craisins, oat square cereal and brown rice cereal all smashed together! There's also a version without the craisins... so yummy!!!

My weigh in is tomorrow... crossing my fingers i didn't do too much damage in the beginning of the week when i fell off the wagon for a bit... back on track now.

 

[dthogue]

I should clarify - the article I read about daily weighing was about people who lost weight and were maintaining - you should weigh daily or every other day to make sure that you are staying within your "maintenance" range. That way, you realize as soon as you start gaining and do something about it before it gets out of control.

I agree that the scales fluctuates from day to day and during the day, and that it might not be a good idea to weigh daily - but I do anyway

Good for you getting right back on track and losing those extra LBs

Had my WI this morning. Lost 1.2 lbs !! For lunch today we went out for Chinese food. I tried to be good and got chicken with vegetables. I ate a lot of pork fried rice though. Good thing I started over today with my weekly points!

I love WW for allowing me the freedom to pick what I want to eat. I have a friend doing some whacky diet and she is seriously a mess. Her reason for not doing WW is that you'll just gain the weight when you stop. Umm, yeah that's how it goes for every diet!

No, I sure didn't! But I did hope to be lighter than I am now .

In all seriousness, you guys keep me on track and motivated. Even though I have not seen a 5-lb star since (I hate to type this) AUGUST I keep at it. For those of you gasping in horror ... I gained a lot on my two WDW trips and I take off weight very, very slowly. If I lose more than 2 pounds in a MONTH it's a success for me. I will be SO GOOD at maintenance ... if I ever get there .

Hang in there Robin, I know it's frustrating, this was my 4th WDW trip since starting WW. We all love you for starting this thread. I can't give you a 5 lb start but how about a High Five for staying motivated enough to just keep going.

Well, if they gain it back it's because they are viewing WW as a diet not a LIFESTYLE CHANGE . Some people have to just learn the hard way. I am guilty of trying other crazy weight loss fixes . That obviously didn't work for me.

I made 10% tonight! It was right on the nose though...all I needed was .6 loss and that's exactly what I had. I find the key is really tracking everything! I need to try to move away from the processed foods though. It's just so easy to grab a Smart Ones dinner to take to work. I'm not a salad lover and I get tired of sandwiches. I need to find some tasty lunch ideas!

Way to go everyone!!

I'm totally with you...not a huge fan of salads (never make them at home but try to order them in a restaurant), and I, too, enjoy Smart Ones...probably have at least three of them each week for lunch. I can't seem to get around early enough in the morning (or remember at night) to make and pack a lunch.

Weigh-in tomorrow morning after Week #9. Fingers crossed...
