Good morning ladies~

I didn't do well. Up .4! Which I know isn't that bad but still in the wrong direction. I'm super bummed but should of known it was bound to happen. I knew this time of the year was going to be hard and the actual holidays haven't even made it here yet!

I'm even more depressed about this weekend as I have a bachelorette party to attend today/tonight and a shower tomorrow. Not really worried about the shower to much but we are going to Macaroni Grill tonight for dinner. Ugh this wedding and the holidays are going to de-rail me! I had a shower last Saturday I had to attend as well.

Well I hope everyone else is doing well....

Just have to remember to keep at it and don't let this little gain completely destroy what I have lost so far. Now I need to lose 1lb to make my 20lb loss total. Hopefully I can manage that next weigh-in.

Hang in there!! Don't de-rail yourself. It is a tough time of year to get through I am having a tough time too. However, no matter what you do, lose, gain stay the same, if you get through the next 2 months with the holidays and the wedding without giving up....that in itself is an accomplishment no matter what the scale says. Keep strong I know you'll see that 20Lbs!!

Hang in there. Can you look at the Macaroni Grill website for Nutrition information and plan ahead? Can you share an entree with someone? Try to stay on track. If you want to just splurge and enjoy yourself than get back on track Monday then do that too. It is up to you and you can live this plan.

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!!!!

Please let us know how you like your elliptical machine. I hate how it gets dark so early, but I've been wearing my reflective vest and trying to stay in relatively well lit areas. DH doesn't much care for my evening run/walks and says he stays on edge for the 60 minutes or so that I'm out there.

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 also looking forward to the new program. I was complaining to the receptionist at my last meeting about how it seems I've been playing with the same 2 pounds over the last 2 months. She took my book and did some calculations during the class. Turns out I'm not really at the plateau I thought I was. But, she said that the new program will probably jump start things for me again and I just need to be patient a bit longer. I agree that the release date was a stroke of genius by the WW marketers!

Good Morning!! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Thank you ladies for the words of encouragement.

I didn't have the best weekend food wise but did go to the gym last night and got 4 activity points. This week I plan on staying on plan. I just automatically took away my 35 weeklies for my horrible weekend eating and plan not on using any of my activity points I earn this week in hopes that I break 20lbs this coming weigh in on Saturday!

Thanks again!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Friday and Sunday were both OK, but Saturday made up for it all . Wisconsin Badger's home game with beer, brats and pizza (oh my!). I guess I'm just not willing to give up the tailgate fun for my weight loss.

I did see that! And I am wondering with free fruit, how will that work? Will it make other points values higher to make up for it? Or maybe our daily point total lower? You KNOW there is a price to pay for free fruit!!

Thank you for posting that. I can't wait for the new program. I am so hungry lately. Knowing that bananas are going to be free makes it hard to count the points for the bananas I ate for my mid-morning snack. I wonder if avocados will be free?

I think the points will be skewed even more towards foods that are "good" for us like fruits and vegetables and away from the less healthy foods. I think in general things will "cost" more but we will have more points to use along the way.

That's what I am guessing too. I'll bet things like carbs will count more. Oh, well, I never eat bananas because I don't think they (for me) are worth 2 points. BUT, if they are free, I might reconsider!

I eat them. I either eat 1/2 of one (left over from DD's PB&banana sandwich) or I eat two of them on set points.

A friend of mine who is lifetime sent me a link to the new Uk propoints plan calculator. It looks like if the US program is the same it will take in account protein, carbs, fat and fiber to calculate points. Most things look like they will be more points but we will be allowed more points. I also don't let the points keep me from eating bananas just love them.

It sounds a lot like the Zone Diet which is a 30-30-40 plan ... 30% fat, 30% protein, 40% carbs in every meal. BUT ... WW will never allow THAT much fat in a diet because they are all about the low fat. I assume the fiber will be subtracted from the carb count to get a "net carb" count.

I was just wondering if anyone on here just does WW online? I was a member and went to meeting about 2 years ago and did pretty good on the plan. I live in a relatively small town and we only have 2 meetings - one at 10:30 and one at 6:00 both on Tuesdays. I ended up with another committment that I can't get out of on Tuesday evenings and work during the day, so I had to stop going to them meetings.

I'm thinking about starting the program again, but just doing the online since I still can't go to the meetings.

Since they are rolling out a new program, do they send you any of the booklets that they hand out at the meetings, or do you just read about it all online? I like how they kind of give you one thing a week to focus on to learn about the program at the meetings. If you get all of the information at the beginning, I was just wondering how that works.

I was also wondering about the mobile applications. I have an andriod phone and was wondering if WW has an app that included a point tracker on the phone? Probably asking too much, just curious.
