Welcome Melissa!


Stephanie ... I would go to the meeting but SKIP the weigh in. That way you can still get what you need out of the meeting and you save the celebration for your pals at your regular meeting.

That is brilliant Robin. That's a perfect resolution.

Hi!

Just joining into this board and thread for the first time!

A little info about myself - \I am a 48yo, South Jersey yo-yo dieter, wife, mother of 2 (21ds & 17dd) and WDW lover. Also, I am a lifetime WW member from waaaaay back, then gained then lost multiple times with MANY diets, including a 5 years ago, a stint with an Atkins like-diet/personal trainer where I got to my fittest point - lost over 50 lbs.(probably too thin!), then left (I felt I had become too dependent - plus $$'s . However, now slowly I have gained 40 lbs. back and was sooo depressed that I decided to go back to the tried and true WW! So along with my 17 yo dd we joined WW 2 weeks ago and I have lost 4 lbs and my dd 5 lbs. so far!

Now, I hope to check in from time to time for encouragement from new friends who have a love of Disney too! This weekend we are going to NYC - for me the food capital of the world - so hopefully the temptation to eat will lose to our going to stores where I will realize I HAVE be good in order to really enjoy shopping, along with stopping by the new Disney store of course- and btw, worrying about the NY bedbugs in our hotel too!!

So now you know a little bit about me! I'm looking forward to 'meeting' everybody on this board and also hoping for tips, etc.. as well as hearing about the new program which will be coming out and how everyone is doing!!

Thanks for allowing me to join your board!!

welcome

I understand the bed bugs. We lived in the city for 8 years and recently moved to central nj. we have a wedding this saturday and we decided to pay for a car service to and from instead of staying at a hotel we are freaked about the bed bugs as well. I dont know if it will make much of a difference these bugs are everywhere

Just check the mattress and dont put your luggage on the floor use the luggage tray.

i hope you have a great time in the city

Great idea!! It's not that I need a pat on the back from my own meeting but, just would mean more to me at my "home" meeting.

ok, just screwed up my entire week. So, completely stressed today husband, MIL, kids.......don't ask. On my way to look at elliptical machines and suddenly my car veers into the McDonalds drive thru....again . It wasn't pretty at all cause I didn't get a happy meal . I just don't know what is going on with me lately. I am sitting here having my own pitty party cause I just feel terrible, wish I could go back in time and make a better non impulsive decision. Ugh, I wish we were starting the new program sooner I feel I need a change. Ok, thanks for listening all. I think I'll give myself a hug.

Don't beat yourself up! We all have been there done that. Since the weather started changing and the upcoming holidays around the corner I have been struggling as well. The only thing probably keeping me from gaining is that I'm still working out though not as much as I was when it was nice out.

Tomorrow is a new day! Not sure it will make you feel any better or not but I ate half a bag of baked salt and vinegar chips, 4 slices of deli turkey, and some of my husbands french fries from Mcdonalds for dinner. Now I'm trying to behave myself the rest of the night. And before I ate all that I only had 5 points left for the day. Just start again tomorrow.

Here's one from me too
You can do it! Maybe a little wine will help with the MIL?

So, I weighed in yesterday. Down .6 - totally thrilled after my 2.4 gain last week. But I'm off all the medications and now I'm waiting for blood tests that the allergist ordered. *sigh* Hopefully that will help too.
Congrats to all the "losers" this week!

Been struggling the last few weeks. Gained both weeks. But I am back on track I lost 3.0 pound this week and I am down 41.8 pounds. Dang Halloween candy kept jumping into mouth...LOL

I had a Sweedish Meatball, Apple Pie, and Cinnamon Bun incident at Ikea yesterday, so I will gladly give you a hug if you promise that you've got my back in return. This new program can't come soon enough!

Hey, you faced it, dealt with it, and learned from it.

My WW leader uses this example: She inherited her grandma's fine china. If she dropped a piece one day, she wouldn't say "that ruined everything, so now I'll break it all" instead, she'd say, "well, I should have been more careful and I will be starting NOW." I love to think about her grandma's china when I screw up.

It's all good.

Way to go you two . I'm glad you both overcame your few difficult weeks. Trying to stay strong myself. Oh and I don't think wine will do the trick I'd need something
stronger.

Thanks Sandi, your right 100%. In the past I would have broken all the china over a few bumps in the road. I just can't get this disney curse weight off. It's starting to get discouraging. However, it is a new day and I am going to really do my best to stay on plan today and this entire weekend.

 

[robinb]

I'm back from my meeting and down another and that puts me exactly where I was a month ago *sigh*. The good news is that I lost what I gained!

Two more weeks until US Thanksgiving and then the new program . I'm going to pack my Kashi 2-point granola bars with me when I go to Chicago for the holiday 'cause it's bound to be a challenging couple of days.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Congratulations to the losers!

I am back from my weigh in and I lost 4.6 pounds! Which was all of my Disney weight and another pound on top of that! I am very excited to be getting closer to my goal of 100 pounds, I have 10.4 pounds to go! Our center was full of boxes for the new program, so exciting

I love the Story about Grandma's china!

Have a great week!

 

[cepmom]

Down 1.0 this week! Livin' the program -- It seems to work best when I do.

yay! great job! It is amazing isn't it??

Good for you! Isn't it funny how doing what you're supposed to do actually works!?

I just got back from my WI and I'm down 1.2 -- because I followed the program this week, too.

yay!! another great job working the program!

Hello ladies-

Looks like everyone is doing really well! I weighed in this past Saturday and I'm down 1.4 and that put's me .6 away from 20lbs loss so far. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that I actually break the 20lb mark this Saturday. So I'm roughly half way to where I want to be give or take a few. Just waiting to see how I feel about my body as the weight comes off. I'm already way more confident then I was and shopping for clothes is starting to become more fun again as well.

I do have a bachelorette party and shower to attend this weekend but that is after weigh in so I should be good even though I did have a rocky start to this week.

I also have discovered recently that I can fit into a swimming suit I bought in summer 08! And I'm starting to fit into some of my older pants from when I was gaining weight. Thank goodness b/c I have bought some clothes recently in the past 6-8 weeks that are falling off me. It's a bad and a good thing. Bad b/c it was a waste of money good b/c I'm losing weight. I need to see if I can find more clothes packed away that I can wear so I don't waste anymore money till I get where I want to be.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

Nice job! fitting into those clothes must be an awesome feeling!!

these things happen...don't beat yourself up about it. Today's a new day and you can start over. I did the same thing this week and inhaled 2/3 of a bag of Cool ranch Doritos and a few leftover Halloween candy bars...I had been doing so well to and it just happened.

Here's one from me too

nice job losing...it always seems to take longer to take off than it took to put on
what kind of kashi bars do you get? I am in love with the dark chocolate coconut

holy cow!! Nice job! you'll be at your goal in no time!


I am back from weigh in and I gained 1.2 this week. As I mentioned above, I had been doing well, then on Wednesday night I found myself face to face with a bag of Cool ranch Doritos and leftover Snickers bars I didn't expect to lose much if anything since last week was such a big loss but I was hoping to stay the same. But, it's a new week and back to tracking and making smart choices.

I like those and the Trail Mix ones .

Maybe you're just retaining water. There is a TON of sodium in Doritos.

 

[sjms71]

WoW everyone, I think for the most part we all had an awesome week!! Although, I did have the best intentions on attending a different WW meeting, I won't lie I did not go today. However.....I did do something in the right direction for myself today. It's been getting colder and dark early and I just don't want to walk so today I purchased an elliptical machine for myself. I really didn't want to spend the money however, I felt I have come to far not to put myself first. I felt with the winter coming I needed something that would keep me going and I decided that was it. I know it's slow here on the weekends so everyone have a great one and stay strong we CAN DO THIS!!!!

probably a little anyway...I'll probably take a sneak peek at my weight tomorrow at work and see what it looks like. I know I shouldn't but sometimes I can't resist!

good for you in buying the elliptical. You deserve to do that for yourself! I wish you were closer and I'd have given you mine . I just posted it on Craigslist. I got it last year, but it really doesn't agree with my knee.

 

[daisy2]

Congratulations everyone!! I don't know about anyone else but I am getting really excited to hear about the new program that's coming out the week after Thanksgiving. I have heard nothing but good things about it from my wonderful leaders. They won't tell us anything but they did tell us that our leader has been at her goal weight for along time but since she started the new program in October she has lost 5 pounds and secretary has lost at least 10 since October. I think my body needs a shake up and this new program may do the job!! I want to loose at least 10 to 15 more pounds before my First Disney Cruise on the new dream in February!!

Everyone keep up the good work!!

I'm excited about it too! Very clever of them to introduce it the Monday after Thanksgiving! Can't wait to hear all about it!
