Wow! Everyone is doing so great! I think I am back on track, official weight in is tomorrow but it does look like I am down 1lb. Trying to pick some WW friendly dishes for Easter dinner, it's easier than I thought. It's a beautiful day today so I will be taking the kids outside for some fun!

Welcome albertamom!! Glad to have you here! Yes, you are supposed to include a certain number of point in the form of "healthy fats" each day. That could be olive oil, avocado, nuts, or fish oil. There should be some information in your week one book about it. If you still can't find it, ask again here... I'm sure someone will find it for you.

I am so pleased to report that I have lost 4.3 pounds (according to my new WW scale). I have struggled so much over the past few weeks, this is a huge deal for me! I finally feel vindicated!

Happy Easter to everyone!.................P

Thank you and congratulations

 

[buzzmom3]

Happy Easter everyone! Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[GSD4ME]

Hope everyone had a great Easter and had weather that was as beautiful as ours was here in Maryland! I actually took today off and it's shaping up to be just as nice.

Well, I weighed myself and I've lost 3 more pounds! I think my body has finally figured out that I really am trying to lose the weight - LOL!

Got to sleep in today (Thank you, dogs, for not wanting to go out at our usual 5:00 a.m.) and then did 3 miles on the treadmill, followed by a yummy and healthy breakfast that included some fresh stawberries! We might head into DC in a little bit to take my step-daughter to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant . . . it will be a little challenging since they have delicious desserts, but I'm feeling strong and confident about my ability to make healthy eating choices.

Hope everyone has a great week!

I have to brag on myself. I crossed the 10,000 step barrier today for the first time in a looong time!

I am feeling really good right now.

Hi! I hope you all don't mind another person joining in. I started WW a little over a week ago--this is my 3 or 4th time on the program. I am doing it on line and really like it. I never really got into the meetings, but this thread looks like a great place for the support I need. I lost 4 lbs. the first week, so I feel good (although I know not to expect that kind of loss very often.)

I have a question about Momentum...are you supposed to eat your weeklies and APs every week or are they just there if you need them? Thanks!

I love doing WW on-line, too! Great job losing 4lbs your first week. I don't always use my weekly points, just when I need them but I think you can. I know I feel so much better than I did before I started.

Hi guys! I have had a disappointing last couple of weeks. My downward weight loss was reversed and I have gained almost 2 lbs of it back. *sigh* I am back on track (literally) and I have made a pact with my DH that we would both lose 20-lbs by mid-August. It's do-able but NOT if I gain instead of lose .

 

[qtwns]

Robinb-you'll get back in the groove. By Aug. you'll be so happy with your results.

 

[joha]

Robinb - hang in there...you will get back on track.

I was on vacation last week, I lost one of pre-paid meetings...I went today, thinking that WW was on the same week (my fourth meeting), but got the materials for week 5 today. No left over newsletter , hopefully my co-worker has one for me to read.
I was happy to see that I lost some weight!

Could you guys tell me how to sign up for the WW walk on June 6? I want to do the 5K challenge, but my center did not have any information/literature of the event.
Thanks in advance

Don't beat yourself up, just start tracking again...You can do it!

I received the information today. There isn't a specific WW walk, my book says to sign up for a 5K on June 6th, 2010. The book is called Weigh Watchers Walk-it challenge, Your Step-by-Step Training Guide to Walking a 5K. To find an Event go to weightwatchers.com/walkit (code:W25K66) Or Google Search Find a 5 K in (your town)
Or go to www.mapmywalk.com to plot out a 5K route.
Or find a public track in your area. Most tracks are 400 meters 5 K is about 12 1/2 times around the track.

If you walk a 5K on Walk-it day you can receive a commemorative charm for your Weight Watchers Key ring. I want to do it just to get one of those! Good luck, I hope you got the book...if not go back and ask again.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I looked at the website and there are some specific Weight Watchers 5K walks, but none of them are in Georgia where I live.

I am hoping to walk 5K at a walking trail in my area and earn the charm, I will ask at my next meeting.

Thanks for all the info ... I will definitely ask again and look up the info on the website. I was re-reading my WW magazine from Nov-Dec 2009 and I saw the ad for the book Comfort Classics, I really want one, but the price is very high on Amazon.com

Does anybody have an extra copy that I can buy, or has anyone seen it at their meetings?
Please let me know... Thank you!

Went to the doctor today and she took me completely off the meds for my high blood pressure. And, she was very happy that I've lost 17 pounds since my last visit!!!

Just had to share . . . Hope everyone has had a great and healthy week and is looking forward to the weekend as much as I am!

[robinb]

Well crap. I'm up another .6 lbs for a total of 2 lbs in the last month.

My leader said something interesting today. We don't want to "lose" weight ... we want to "remove" weight. Why? Because when we lose something we try to find it .

 

[buzzmom3]

Hang in there Robin! You will get back on track. I am sitting here trying to get motivated to workout. I have been slacking off.

This is very impressive. Good health is the best achievement of all!

 

[GSD4ME]

Thanks, Ann! I was very happy to get to come off those meds. Still want to lose another 70 pounds or so, but at least I know I'm heading in the right direction.

Hang in there, Robin! Maybe your body is gaining muscle which, as we all know, weighs more than fat. You'll break through this in no time!

 

[pjlla]

Happy Saturday everyone! Sorry I haven't had more time to spend with you all here! I've been busy and have been spending my limited DIS time on the BL thread. But I have tried to keep up through my email reminders. Hopefully next week I'll have time to hop over here and chat more about WW............P
