Well, ladies, my goal of 8lbs in 8 weeks didn't happen. Today, I was up 0.6lbs which I'm a little confused about. HOWEVER, I am down 5.6lbs in total over the 8 weeks which actually means that I'm 6 pounds below my goal weight! So...I think I'll just be very happy with that! I was hoping to have a little more eating room for our upcoming trip to WDW but I guess I did mention somewhere that I would try to keep the weight gain at 5 pounds while were there.

Hope everyone else has success at the scale this week! Dont forget to post.

When do you leave? Think about how well you have done so far!!!

Lost 1.2 at weight in today for a total of 6.2, I actually think I can "feel" it. Now for the big challenge, I go back to work tomorrow, I am a teacher. Which means catered lunches for the next 3 work days and an endless supply of cookies and donuts in the staff room. At least at home I can keep the temptations away. I have to keep the end in mind. I have 4 more pounds to lose before our DL vacation which is 5 weeks and 5 days!!!

Well, I'm halfway through my second week on WW!

I ended up losing 5lbs in the first week, but like you all said, I'm sure that was just detox. We'll see what happens at weigh in this week.

I keep thinking that we probably should have waited to join until after September, but I guess we'll see. We have a trip to the first Tennessee football game Labor Day weekend and then our WDW trip 2 weeks after that.

We are going to try to keep points in mind, but I'm assuming we are going to be using some of our extra points for those 2 trips. I'm going to try to keep an eye on what we eat and how much we are eating. I figure if we keep thinking smart, we shouldn't have a problem.

Congratulations! That is awesome and you deserve all the praise you're getting.

I did my WI today and was down 2.2 lbs over the two weeks. Not bad considering we were at WDW last week (which is why I didn't have a WI last week).

The theme of this week's meeting was very good, too. You can eat the foods you love -- moderation and frequency is the key.

May I join in?

I have been doing WW (online only) for 6.5 wks now. I am down 13.6 lbs. I am trying to focus more on being healthy than the scale. If I am living a healthy life style, the weight should and will follow.

I was just thinking about how challenging eating at WDW will be for me, which made me search for WW on here. I feel torn... one one hand, i want to be able to enjoy myself (and free dining) since this is a vacation. but on the other hand, I do not want to gain back what I have worked so hard to lose.

I have 56 lbs to get to goal.

Welcome aboard! The more the merrier. A lot of us have found this thread to be more helpful and supportive than the WW boards.

I just returned from WDW and I am living proof that you can actually lose weight while on vacation there. We did not have free dining (I had a different discount) so I never felt the need to get the most for my dining credit. I also wasn't so tempted by the desserts. I think, however, you can go to the wonderful WDW restaurants and get your favorite things -- you just don't have to eat everything they give you. DD15 and I had wonderful meals at Yachtman Steakhouse, San Angel Inn, and Yak and Yeti. We also ate at all of our favorite CS restaurants, had a Mickey Bar, ice cream, popcorn, etc. We shared a lot of things and enjoyed ourselves. We also got lots of exercise.

Anyway, I don't think you need to stress about WDW. You can go and enjoy yourself. Just put some thought into what you're doing and, if you make a mistake, jump back on the train.

Thank you all, You guys are the best!!!

As you all know it's not easy and I've worked really hard. I've been really trying to do my very best knowing there is a Disney vacation coming up. I have exactly 20 lbs to go to get to goal, hoping to hit life time by the big 40 at the end of March . Thanks again all, going to DC this weekend so there will be more meals out but a lot of walking so I should be ok.

Sandi, good job on the 2.2 down after a disney vacation that's great you're getting right back on track.

50 pounds! WoW!!!!! That is seriously impressive! What are your top three tips?

hmmmm, I would say for me it's my water, exercise, now I don't go to the gym, I walk every day most days about 5 miles but there are days I do a short stroll around the neighborhood but get your body moving and last I would say eat your points all of them less does not mean less weight. If I had to add a few more tips is that the meetings are a lifesaver for me no matter what the scale says. Lately it's been good to me but I've been doing this since 10/15/09, and if I have a bad week I buck up and face the music. The last thing I would say is exactly what this weeks meeting was about don't deprive yourself it's ok to have a treat this is a life change not a diet!!!!!

Very wise words. I feel like I learn something from someone on this thread every single time I visit.

You look great how much weight total did you lose? I love to scrapbook that's why I asked. I started out a huge scrapbooker and now the craft thing has taken on a life of it's own. I don't scrapbook as much as I should but have started making cards now. I have a cricut and just love it.

I love to scrapbook too. I belong to a SB group that meets on Tuesdays but then my part time job changed to Tuesday afternoons so I havent been there for about a year. I'm hoping to start with them again in September. I just scrapbook but I have a sister who makes cards. She makes some pretty cute ones too. I really like the Cricut but I dont think I'll be getting one. Have you checked out this video for the new Cricut Imagine? I'd love to have one of those.

Almost forgot...I lost a total of 70lbs. I've been Lifetime and at or below goal since March 2007.

Just got home from WI. Lost 1.2 this week for a total of 31!

Been run/walking for the past two weeks. I have tried C25k in the past and couldn't get through the first day! Now I am doing a "conditioning program" designed for people too unfit to get through C25K. Its been going great.

Congratulations, mrzrich! That's fantastic. Your hard work is really paying off. I'm glad you've found a program that is working for you.

When do you leave? Think about how well you have done so far!!!

This weekend!

Congratulations on your weight loss this week and on your total! Do you have some kind of anchor you can keep with you to help you stay focused? I use my 10% key chain. Sometimes I even have to put in on the table beside my plate. Also, I find that the earlier in the day I start nibbling, the longer I'm eating so I try not to start until it's just about time to leave. OR, JUST STAY OUT OF THE STAFF ROOM!!! How did you do in there today?

5lbs is wonderful for your first week! It's actually a very good thing that you joined when you did because you'll be mindful of what you're eating while you are away and .... that's a good thing!
