Ok, well back from WW down only .4, kind of disappointed but at least it's down.

8lbs in 9 week mini goal

Week1......-1.4
Week2......didn't weigh in but stayed the same
Week3.......-.4
_________________
total.........-1.8 not looking good, but I'm going to keep going

That's still an average of more than 1/2 pound per week. I'd say you're doing great.

Don't be discouraged, Stephanie... you may get your big boost next week when you embrace the new plan!!! I think if I wasn't already 'living it', I would go to the very first meeting on Sunday or Monday that I could get to.

Hi all!

I have been back on weight watchers the past 3 weeks. I am down 7 pounds. I am happy with the results but it is weight I regained during my disney vacation and then coming home and continuing to eat bad for 2 weeks afterwards.

My goal right now is to not have to "start over" once jan 1 rolls around. I do it every year...binge my way through the holidays and I refuse to do it this time. Im trying to allow myself to eat things here and there and not beat myself up about it but I am just working out harder than usual..doing turbofire when I can't make it to kickboxing or the gym

trying to be kinda of strict until thursday (thanksgiving) I am def going to enjoy myself on thanksgiving but I am not going to do what I usually do ....BINGE! hey i might even wake up that morning and work out

Thanks for the words of encouragement, I am excited about the new program. We talked a little bit about the new program on Thurs. Well, not the program itself but, in our weekly it said they would be announcing a new program, which I knew, but our leader wanted our thoughts or concerns about doing a new program. Ok, off to the dentist for a
cleaning .

Ooops! It's not next week, it the week after.

Well, I had a lousy weigh-in this morning. Up 1.6 I worked out a lot yesterday, pushing myself to walk faster than I usually do and then I came in the house ate dinner and did the weight lifting workouts on the WW website. So I ended up working out for 2 hours, and drinking a lot of water. My leader said sore muscles retain water. I hope that is true, because I thought I did a good job tracking and eating right.

I can't wait for the new program. 1 week from Sunday.

Hang in there I think the change in my exercise routine hasn't caught up with me yet either. I think it takes a little bit for your body to adjust. Keep doing what you're doing.

You're too funny .

As expected, I was up 1.2 lbs. I'll be weighing in next Wednesday since my regular weigh in is on Friday and I will be in Chicago with family.

Thanksgiving will be a PITB for me. We stay in a hotel because of various reasons including my sister's menagerie and my mom and sister's (I'm saying this nicely) "clutter". Not only is there no room for us at either house, but the animals set off my allergies -- note to self start taking allergy drugs now. So, we stay in a hotel about 45 minutes away. That, in and of itself, isn't bad. However, Thanksgiving dinner isn't until 3-4pm and is always late. Where the heck does one eat on Thanksgiving for lunch? EVERYTHING is closed! Except for maybe McDonald's. Yum. I hate McDonald's salads. So we usually go to dinner pretty hungry which is also a bad thing because there are plenty of noshies around.

Anyway ... I think I'm going to see if there is a nearby restaurant open for lunch that doesn't have a set Thanksgiving menu. Maybe a Chinese restaurant ... heck they're always open for Christmas!

Sorry to hear you were up this week. Hang in there we all need to just get through this next week and the biggest eating holiday will be over and we will have new program. Try not to let next week stress you to much with family.

Look for the Chop Suey Palace Fa ra ra ra ra!!!! ( I just love that movie)

Sounds like a challenging day. Cracker Barrel is open on Thanksgiving, you might try a late breakfast there and points for some of their stuff is available in the dining out guide or the WW iphone app. Their vegetable soup is only 2 points for a bowl. Good Luck

Well I just got back from weigh in and I'm down 3.4! I'm so relieved after my 1st gain last week. Didn't think I would lose that much though. I think that is the most I have ever lost in one week since starting WW. This was also my 16th week on the program.

Now if I can survive the upcoming week that will be awesome! But not going to set my expectations to high.

I'm also really excited about the new plan as well since I have been struggling. Though I'm sure it's due to the season and the weather change.

Well I hope everyone has a good weekend! And keep moving foward!

Would love some info! I'm planning to join the Friday after Thanksgiving. What is the new program you mentioned?

Truthfully the new program is top secret, the leaders are not able to tell us anything about it until it starts the week after Thanksgiving. What we do know for sure, because WW has posted it on an official blog, is that fruits and most veggies will be free.

Rumors, based on recent changes to the programs in the UK and Australia indicate that the points formula will change, taking into account calories, fat, fiber as well as protein and carbs. Some say this will make the points too difficult to figure with a paper slider, causing people to NEED to buy a points calculator or use e-tools to figure out points. (I have WW mobile, which was free on my Ipod touch, so I'm thinking I'll still have access to a points calculator on that.)

We've also heard rumors that points values of many foods will increase, but that most of us will have a few more daily points to compensate a little bit.

If you start the week after Thanksgiving you will start at a good time, because the meeting will focus on teaching everyone the new plan.

I just wanted to add one thing to what mrzrich said, my leaders are talking about how great it works. I can't wait to start the new plan. I think it will be a fresh start, I have lost almost 90 pounds on the current plan and lately I have been very hungary. The new plan will give me new motivation to keep going. I need to lose 30 more pounds.

Great job on the 3.4 and congrats on 16 weeks of working the program. You're right not to set a high expectation for this coming week. We will all survive just remember it's a HoliDAY.......not a holi-week .

Omg Nancy I have been so hungry lately too. I don't know if it's the change in my exercise. I bought an elliptical over a week ago and work out on it everyday. It is really kicking my butt (in a good way) however, I am so hungry .

hi everyone. weighed in on Friday and was up another 1.4. Not unexpected and actually better than what I thought it was going to be so I am ok with that. I have been struggling for a while with this....I do awesome for 2 weeks, stick to plan, not hungry, lose weight,then something changes and I am hungry all the time, craving carbs big time eat too much etc. Always the same cycle based on my time of the month I keep trying to get control of it but I am wondering if anyone else goes through the same thing?

Not to share too much info but today is the first day of my cycle (If you know what I mean) so I know I'll be back on track in a couple of days but it's so frustrating! Like I have no control whatsoever over this

One good thing which has probably helped somewhat is I have been able to keep up with my exercise and running throughout the month regardless of my challenges. I totally did not want to run today but I made myself and actually had the best time ever! Ran 3.05 miles in 27.48! yay me! Also, I signed up for my first 5K for Thanksgiving morning..and looking forward to it!

That time of the month is always trouble for me! I'm not big on sweets but I love salty stuff! Plus the bloating it causes doesn't help at all either. It's a bummer that it seems to ruin atleast one week of the month for me.

Congrats on the running! I run as well but I do interval training. So if I do 45 minutes on the treadmill half of that time is running and the other half is a fast pace walking. I think the exercise has been what keeps me from gaining. Not sure how well the WW program would work for me without exercise to be honest.
