I would like to join your thread.
My name is Suzanna. and I have rejoined WW(yes again). I am determined to lose 93 lbs to get HWP. This is the start of my 3rd day on WW, and with not being at work, it's hard to not want to snack! I have bought alot of healthy snacks that are 1pt to satisfy my cravings though. Can't wait to post my pounds lost on Thursday!!!

Good luck!! As you know the beginning is always the hardest. I swear coming off all the junk with headaches essentially detoxing your body is not fun. But keep strong you can do it

Welcome Sarah!


Have you checked out the menus for the restaurants under the Theme Parks section of this website? You might get some help there in deciding which restaurants to choose. If you're on one of the dining plans, you can find out which restaurants are participating in the DP as well.


Welcome Suzanna! Good luck on Thursday! Can't wait to hear how it goes at the scales for you.

I'm soooo jealous!

Happy Monday Everyone!!! Here's hoping everyone made it through the weekend ok. Hope everyone has a great week on the scale.

Unfortunatly, I didn't do any walking this weekend, usually do 5 miles a day. It was just too hot her in NC. So, hopefully that won't hurt me on the scale this week. However, I'm going to walk in a bit this morning no matter what.

I think I made it through the weekend okay. My own scale is headed in the right direction at least.

Does anyone else here weigh themselves at home? I know Weight Watchers (in Canada anyway) encourages its members not to weigh our selves at home but I have to do it two or three times in the morning after I get up and a couple of times on my way to bed. Am I alone in this obsession?

My weekend was a disaster. My DD swam in the USA Swimming Wisconsin 12 and Under Championship swim meet this weekend. She was in the middle of the pack on her events but she got personal bests in 4 out of 7 events including taking off more than 5 seconds from her 200 IM . I am very proud of her. But that meant a weekend away eating crap. I ventured on the scale today and it didn't look too bad, but I don't know how long it takes for the weight to show up. Does anyone know?

She has another big meet this weekend which is the culmination of the recreational summer swim season and she is ranked top 10 in both her events. I'm hoping that we will both do well . This meet is here in Madison and much easier to manage my eating.

Congratulations to your DD! That's wonderful for her.

As for your weight question, it usually shows up for me bright and early the very next morning.

I'm an every day weigher. Only in the morning though. I wouldn't dare get on the scale later in the day. I'm sure you're not suppose to but can't help myself.

Hi Everyone!

Can I join in? My name is Nan and I'm doing the WW online program and started a little over 2 weeks ago. I weigh myself on Saturday mornings. So far I'm down 8 pounds! I'm a pretty big girl, so I have a long way to go. I need to lose 140 pounds total.

I'm determined to lose this weight in a healthy manner, for the long haul. I'm 31 years old and I'm so unhealthy and out of shape that I feel like I'm watching my life pass me by. But no more!

While doing WW, I've also eliminated fast food, sodas, and high sugar processed foods. I'm in week 3 of this detox and it is HARD, but I know (for me) its necessary. Has anyone else had success eliminating the junk food from their diets?

Hi Nan and welcome. Wow you are off to a great start. At least for me I don't even crave junk food anymore. And when I do eat junk food (which is rare) I feel terrible, especially fast food. You'll get past the detox. Keep doing what you're doing and keep us posted. Don't look at that big number make mini goals and work towards them.

Hi Gang and welcome to our new friends!

We returned from a week+ vacation to Acadia National Park on Saturday (I know, vacationing somewhere other than Disney -- that's next month!) and I was so worried about my weigh in today. I mean, we tried to eat healthy and get exercise, but the drive had us in the car for over 2,000 miles, so it wasn't the best circumstance. Nevertheless, I was down 2 pounds from my weigh in 2 weeks ago. I even hit the 10%, so I had to set another goal with my leader. Can you say psyched!

Good luck to the young swimmer and to all my WW friends! Keep up the good work.

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

I'm up 0.2 lbs. Not what I wanted to see at the scale this morning, however, better than I expected. I made it through the weekend just fine but Monday I ate an extra 12 points and then again last night I ate an extra 15!! Hopefully, I'll do better this week. I'm still ahead of the game though with 3.4 lbs and 4 weeks to go.

Hi Nan! Thanks for joining our thread.

Sjms71 is absolutely right about not focusing on the big number. Small attainable goals are so important during our weight loss journey.

I rarely eat fast food anymore, however I've had a craving for an Arby's Beef and Cheddar with Curly Fries for about two years now. Fortunately for me, that restaurant is in a part of the city to which I hardly ever travel. Chocolate is my weakness.

Eight pounds in two weeks is excellent! Congratulations. Don't forget to post your success here next weekend!

Welcome back!! good job on the two pounds lost.

Hang in there I know it's not the results you were hoping for but at least you know where the gain possibly came from. You are still ahead of the game and can optain your goal!!

Tomorrow is my weigh in and I'll let you all know where I'm at.

I was up .8 lbs last week and I can't make it to my regular meeting day because my DD has another big swim meet this weekend so I went today. I had a surprisingly good week! I lost 1.6 lbs and am now down a full 20! I have been losing a pretty steady 1/2 lb per week and am fitting into my clothes so much better now.

Way to go!!!! Hope your DD does well again at her swim meet.

Thanks . We're keeping our fingers crossed that she'll be in the finals heat in her events (top 8) and that her relays will be top-3 and come home with medals.

I have hard boiled eggs, WW string cheese & pretzels for snacks. We'll bring a cooler of water and diet soda. It'll be two long days for us!

That's terrific. Good job. Although I love my WW leader, every once in awhile I have to go to a different meeting and it's good to get a different perspective. The important thing is to go. Here's to another great week!

Hello! I am new on this thread. I joined WW yesterday. It was really hard for me to do as I am a lifetime member and I have gained almost all of my weight back. I felt a lot of shame going in as I live in a small town so everyone knows everyone at our meeting. But I am proud of myself for getting over it. I just kept thinking, "I know this feels really bad now but it will feel much better next week!". I am really committed to losing this weight but I also have a Disney Vacation coming up that is also motivating me. I am going to DL with my DH and 2 DDs in October!!! I have just over 25lbs to lose in total and I would like to be down 10lbs before going to DL!

Welcome to all the new people.

We camped at Fort Wilderness this past week. I got home last night and went straight to my meeting! Up 1.6 lbs. I'm very releaved that it wasn't any higher. I did partake in a few treats.

Back in the saddle today. Doing good so far.

Keep up the good work everyone!
