OK thanks, sjms and CdnBuzz. That's what I thought - progress not perfection!

Oh, and way to go on the 15lbs gone!!

What are your thoughts on online check in. We are staying POP this trip. We have done online check in in the past when we stayed at CSR and POR. We may have used it for a past POP stay also. Not sure really what it gets you. I know your packet is usually ready. We will be checking in on the 18th probably by 10a.m. ish. Any thoughts. Thanks

I did online check in last Friday. There was one person in front of me in line. When I got up to the counter, my keys were ready and I was quickly on my way.

In comparison, the regular check in line wrapped around at least once, with several people waiting in line. .

That's what I'm afraid of getting there and there being a line. However, last time I checked into CSR we did online and there was one person at the counter and we were next well 20 people went through the regular check in before we were even helped . My thing is I want to try and get a specific building. I guess if I do online and we don't like the area, we can always ask to be moved if they can. I don't want to be a room snob but we will be staying for 2 weeks, I know excessive, we gave the kids the option to stay moderate/deluxe for shorter time or POP longer and well of course they wanted to go for a longer time. I know with all that's going on in the world my biggest worry is whether to do online check in or not....got to have priorities .

I think there is a place for room requests on the online check in.

I know I already posted, but when we did online check in, I didn't like our room and she was able to get us into the bldg I wanted no problem, just took a few minutes for her to change things in the computer.

They do but it's very specific, what floor and something else. You can't write in your specific request or building.

 

[sjms71]

Thanks again everyone, it's just like I said we are staying for 2 weeks which is a pretty long time so although we won't be in our room much I just want to be comfortable where we are. I think I will do online and take my chances.

ok, online check in complete

I had my weigh in this morning. I lost 1.6 pounds and earned another 5 pound star making it up to 80 pounds lost. I have 36 pounds to lose to get to the Weight Watchers recommended weight for my height. Then I will be a lifetime member. Part of me says if I have come this far, I can do it. Part of me says there is no way I can get down to 150 pounds.

We booked our trip for Halloween! I am very excited, I love Halloween at Disney. Has anyone here tried to keep track of their points at Disney? I am contemplating it. I have the iphone app and I think I could do it, but I am not sure it will be worth the trouble. We will have free dining again. Last year we also had free dining and I gained 3 pounds. Not too bad, this year I want to spend more time swimming. The day we went to Epcot and enjoyed the Food and Wine Festival, I ended up eating way too much food and was really uncomfortable, I don't want to do that again.

Way to GO!!!!!!!!!!!! 80 lbs is an amazing accomplishment!

Yes of course you can do the last 36 - look at what you've done so far. Or maybe you want to set a different goal; another 26 or 20 or 30.

I haven't been on program at Disney before but I did just do a week at a resort where they stuff you full of goodies every meal. I didn't track but just allowed myself a reasonable number of treats and tried to get in some activity.

Remember that uncomfortable feeling. I've had that every year at this resort and any time I'd think to stray, I'd just pull up that bloated, can't get my pants done up feeling and just sneak a taste from DH or one of the kids.

Plan your indulgences and you'll do fine.

I know what you mean about wondering if you can finish it. I am right now at a set point I have had no success with in the past five or six years but I just keep telling myself I was below there once (I passed it on the way up ) and I can get there again. So can you!!

I have a tank top that I want to wear on our January trip that is below my lowest point I've been since before kids (bought it on one of those "I'm on a diet, I'll get there" moments). I have it hanging in my bathroom where I see it every day. Sometimes I have to move it around because it starts to become scenery I overlook. Do you have something that has motivated you this far, or something you hope to buy or do when you reach goal? Or put up before and now pictures of yourself on your mirror or fridge.

Good Luck!! Rely on your group leader or meeting buddies to help renew your fire.

80lbs. Wow!!! you are my hero!!!!

Of course you can do it you're in the home stretch. I'm sure when you first started out you didn't think you could lose 80lbs and here you are. I think we are all feeling the torment of disney and the "food". Some of us have come back and some still have yet to go and eat. I'm just going to do the best I can and I'm sure you will too. Keep up the awesome job!!! I'm so proud of you

Congratulations on your loss this week! 80 pounds is awesome! Of course you can lose that last 36, Nancy. I never would have dreamed when I first signed up with WW that I could have lost the amount of weight that I ended up losing. When I joined, my husband said that he would give me $2000 (Canadian, of course ) if I got down to a certain weight and I just laughed at him. I stupidly rejected his offer and assumed that I couldn't do it because at the time it seemed so far out of my reach. Since I had never lost that much weight before, I just assumed that it was unattainable for me. In the end, that exact weight that he mentioned became my goal weight and I ended up losing 10 more afterwards! I lost a total of 70 pounds which was great, however, it would have been even greater if I had the $2000 to go with it . Just keep doing what you're doing and 150 pounds will be here before you know it.

As for tracking points at Disney, you might be able to do it. If not, I'm sure you could put some strategies in place for yourself that may help. I'm actually that wrong person to ask, though. I gained 8 pounds there last week!

I don't count points specifically but I have tried to make smarter choices...cereal or English muffin for breakfast instead of pancakes and bacon every day, salads occasionally for lunch or skipping the fries and getting fruit or carrots. Lots of water and lots of walking. This was over 10 years ago, but I went to Disney for a week shortly after hitting my goal weight...and I remember eating a banana as a snack, lots of cereal for breakfast and splitting meals and fries with my mom. And I came back home and kept it off.

ETA: I'm sure you all figured it out, but I'm talking about counting points at Disney, or on vacation in general...I HAVE TO count points every day or I would never lose a lb

Great job on the 80 lbs! What an inspiration.

I have now been to WDW 2 imes on WW.

The first time I counted points using WW Mobile and my WW Points pedometer to track my activity. I actually lost weight.

This time (last weekend) I decided to do my own thing, and I gained 4 lbs!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Thank you everyone for the encouragement. I am definitely going to get down to 100 pounds lost. I really want the 100 pound medal for my key chain. Then I will have 16 more pounds to lose to get to 150 pounds. Breaking it up like that makes it seem more achievable.

I had to update my daily points and now am down to 23. That has been a little difficult.

Ain't it the truth?! I was just about to make a batch of muffins or something sweet and I got on here instead. I'm so inspired by you all that I think I can last a couple more hours without falling in a pit. Weekends are tough -- but, I sure wouldn't give them up.

You're so good, resisting the temptation. My problem is I have 1 of these and a bite of that. Gosh I'm a picker and those BLT's are killing me over the weekend. The sick thing is I'm home during the week and I have no problem resisting stuff but the weekends just are so hard not to "snack". Keep up the good work Sandi I should have jumped on here before I ate that handful of cheese its.
