Thanks for the welcome, and explaining the carrots for me. I love raw califlower, I hope it is high in fiber too. Now I'm off the read more of the website!

Cauliflower is even better than carrots from a WW standpoint. A cup of raw is 0 points; same with a cup of cooked. Interestingly, a cup of cooked carrots is one point.

I had my WI today and I'm down 0.8#. I hate this slow going at this point. I have a little more than 10# to my goal and it is taking forever -- one step forward, a half step back. Oh well, at least I've been going in the right direction the last couple of weeks. I guess I'll have to up my activity points to see the results I want.

Good luck to everyone else.

Congrats on the success this week. You're right -- it's in the right direction and it's also what you can expect to lose if you're following the program correctly so dont let it get you down.

Welcome lizzyb and perdidobay. Good luck on the program to both of you and remember that journalling is a very important step in weight loss. Even Dr Oz recommends it!

I had my weigh-in today. I'm down 2.2 . I finally ended the eat-a-thon and snacked on lots of fruit and added lots of vegetables to lunch and dinner this week. I think that helped me feel fuller longer so I wasn't grabbing for the high points foods between meals.

Thanks everyone for the encouragment...a small update. I did track all of my McD's meal, had to dip into the weekly points a little bit but I'm proud that I counted it and didn't let myself ruin the day even more. Today has been better although all I want to do is snack. I think that is again due to stress and also due to the fact that I was in student meetings the majority of the day and didn't have time to do my usually morning munchies and lunch routine. Although I did have all of those packed with me in my classroom, I just had about 15 minutes to scarf down my sandwich before I had to get back to meetings. Even still, I'm okay with my points. I'm struggling this week to get my water in...for some reason I can't seem to find the time to drink it, like I've been doing. And I've been trying to stop drinking a lot past 8 because then I have to wake up in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom and I hate that. All in all, this is just a really stressful week for me, workwise, and even with my McD's yesterday, I'm super proud of myself for staying on track, journaling and counting all the points and not letting one slip up ruin my whole day or week. That's how I know I'm really in it this time. For the record, I have not been able to stay on points for more than a week in over a year. And even then, I think I struggled. But I really feel differently about things this time. It's been about 5 weeks since I started.

I hope this week is less stressful for you, Wonders10. Congratulations for being able to journal and stay on program this week through it all.

Would one of you mind telling me how to do a multi-quote post, please?

saw the vitatops at target last week in the freezer section, they only had bran cranberry. does target carry any other flavors that i missed that arent frozen by chance? I like them though, thanks for the tip

Yea for you! 2.2 is awesome and I bow to your power.

Congratulations! I *wish* I would lose that much. I average about .2-.4 per week. *sigh*

Just back from WI. Down .2 this week. That a stick of butter off my hips right?

I've been sick this week, so I'm glad WI went as well as it did.

 

[lizzyb]

Thanks for the warm welcome! I have been eating OP and even getting a few AP in. Hoping for a nice WI on Monday

Good morning everyone!!!! Just catching up on everyone's weightloss this week. Sounds like everyone is down, some a little and some a lot. No matter how much it's still the right step. Keep going everyone. And welcome to all our new WW friends on here, good luck!!!

Vacation is going well. The last few days I haven't felt good, stomach issues. My body really isn't happy with what I'm eating. I mainly have some sort of salad or chicken for lunch and eat my dinner at wherever our reservations are. However, can't keep up on my water for some reason. I get a bottle at lunch and order a diet soda with dinner and water. I have also not walked or ran the last few days cause of not feeling well. Again, I'm feeling better so may try and get in the pool early and swim some laps tomorrow. Ok off to Magic Kingdom .

So my boss joined WW about 3 weeks ago and I have been following along and I have lost 3 lbs.

I have not officially joined myself because meetings times/locations are not doable. My DH and I both want to lose the better part of 20 lbs before Thanksgiving when we leave for WDW so I have roped him into it

My DH and I have been having our own Saturday morning weigh in and it seems to be working he is down about 5 lbs.

Of course he gets almost 10 more points than I do - ugh!

That's right. You have to celebrate the small victories! Hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm glad your vacation is going well, but it's too bad your stomach isn't cooperating. You can request ice water in cups from any of the quick service locations and they will provide it at no cost. I do a lot better drinking from a straw than from a bottle (weird, I know). Maybe that would help you get the water in you?

I agree with that. I prefer to drink my water thru a straw and I like it to be super cold.

I have had a rough couple days. Yesterday I ate too much home made pizza (Veggie Grilled Pizza, recipe from Cooking Light magazine). I tracked it and used up all of my activity points.

Today, we had a wedding shower for the girl I work with and the points added up fast. I have been feeling under the weather and took a nap after work and then had a bowl of soup for dinner. Ended up eating 2 extra points. I don't feel well enough to earn any activity points.

Weigh-in is tomorrow morning

 

[Wonders10]

I want this week to be over! Seriously, I am now dealing with work stress and "lady time" all in the same week and literally all I want to do is eat. Next week will be busy as well but I know my hormones will be better and it shouldn't be as crazy, I hope. Tomorrow is my weigh day. I have no idea what it will say. All week it has been showing a loss until this morning when I was the same as last week so who knows. As long as it isn't a huge gain (1 lb or more) - then I'll at least feel happy that I made it through this crazy week and can start fresh on Saturday.

Hope everyone is having better luck than me this week!

Hi Everyone, I just found this thread. I have been going to WW for about 6 years off and on. I finally go my ducks in a row and started working out 6 to 7 days a week and doing the WW program. It will be year on October 1st. I have lost 37 pounds (I know that's not a lot) but for me who doesn't loose weight this is good for me. I have went from a size 26-28 to a size 16. It's been a long hall for me. I have type 2 diabetes and my A1C has dropped from 7.0 to 5.7 that is a big drop. A1C is a blood test to that averages out your daily blood sugar level in the last 30 days. So I may have not made big progress in my weight loss but I have made progress health wise. My knees don't hurt, I am not having the back pain and ankle problems I was having due to my weight. I wasn't sure if it was okay to post pictures of before or after so if it's okay I will do that on October 1st if it's okay. Thanks for letting me ramble on. You all keep up the good work.
