Weight Watchers Chat

Hello! I am new on this thread. I joined WW yesterday. It was really hard for me to do as I am a lifetime member and I have gained almost all of my weight back. I felt a lot of shame going in as I live in a small town so everyone knows everyone at our meeting. But I am proud of myself for getting over it. I just kept thinking, "I know this feels really bad now but it will feel much better next week!". I am really committed to losing this weight but I also have a Disney Vacation coming up that is also motivating me. I am going to DL with my DH and 2 DDs in October!!! I have just over 25lbs to lose in total and I would like to be down 10lbs before going to DL!

Welcome Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome to all the new people.

We camped at Fort Wilderness this past week. I got home last night and went straight to my meeting! Up 1.6 lbs. I'm very releaved that it wasn't any higher. I did partake in a few treats.

Back in the saddle today. Doing good so far.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Welcome back!!!

So, at my meeting I'm down 1.2 . Finally went past the 45lb marker. Seven weeks until disney vacation and would like to be down
6 more pounds. Keep up the good work everyone!!!!

You are not alone. I'm a Lifetime member, too. Gained back everything plus and am now back on track. I've been going regularly since the end of April and am down 22 pounds. Still want to lose another 15. I think I've learned that I need the support of meetings and others -- like those on this thread. Keep plugging away. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. This is for YOU.

Ican not tell you how to feel, but I would like to share a different perspective. I have come to realize that this is a LIFE journey. As with everything in life, there are great decisions we make and some not so great. When I re-joined this time, I was clearly in a different place in my journey. I realize that I am still learning about me. I am still trying to figure out how to handle situations as they come up. When I start to sabotage myself, I take a moment and discuss it with my DDil. Just hearing myself talk about what I am feeling helps me figure out what unconsciously is driving me. It is not without stress, or frustration, but then isn't that what life is everyday.

So you have done this before, consider it a redo because you have something else to earn on your journey. There is no shame in that. It is kind of like breaking a leg when you are a marathon runner. After being out of training for 6 to 8 weeks you do not just run another marathon. Instead you start all over and sometimes it is not always from where you started the first time. Sometimes, you are far weaker than ever before. The point is, you just do it. It is a whole new journey and you will be stronger when you reach the finish line this time than you were the last.

Hope that rant make some sense, because in my mind it does.

Welcome everyone. Good luck on your journey.

I have succumb to exercising. I have managed to lose over 70lbs without it. I am trying to get to the gym 3 times a week at least, but see to be doing a little more than that. I also have been working with a personal trainer and she works me out. As much as I hate working out and sweating, I hate being flabby even more. So, vanity wins again!

I bought myself a heart monitor today and some work out clothes. I am anxious about getting back and working out again. Maybe I will go this weekend. On Sunday, my DH is going to my nieces to watch a movie maybe I will go and take care of me.

Well, have a great weekend everyone.

Nearly 72lbs over weight It was my time to do it and for good this time. I am down 46 and truly it's been different this time for me. Anyway, very inspirational words, thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this. I'm obviously not the person you were responding to, but I needed to hear this too. And you are absolutely right!

I just did my 3rd week weigh-in and I'm down another 3.2 pounds! Yay!

That's great. Keep at it.

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Wow! Lots of wonderful inspiration on the thread today. I love coming here everyday to read even if I don't post. You ladies are all so wonderful!

Congratulations on the losses and all the effort. If I can stick to the programme this week, I'm pretty sure that I'll be down on Wednesday. I did an 'unofficial' weigh in this morning at work and the scale looked good even with my shoes on! Weekends are usually the time when I like to eat more but it's Saturday after dinner at the moment and I still have 23 Weekly Allowance Points left, (however, it is a long weekend for us Canadians so we'll see how I make it through Sunday and Monday! )

Does anyone else find weekends to be very hard to stay on point? I get so frustrated with everyone home and wanting to go out to eat, then I have to find stuff that is within reasonable points. Even if it is, the sodium content is probably sky high. Then it was rainy her today and I picked all day and didn't even count anything . I did however, get my walk in (up to 12500 steps) when it stopped raining and drank all my water . I know tomorrow will be better I just hate weekends when it comes to staying on point. Oh well, hope eveyone had a better weekend.

I do! Definitely weekends are the worst for me. We dont go out to eat a lot but DH and DS can eat whatever they want whenever they want and it's just so hard to watch at times. Long weekends (like this weekend) are even worse because I have to watch them for three days instead of two. I try to have the WW 1pt bars around (the red velvet cake bars and the choc caramel bars are my favourite). I've also got a bunch of 1pt popsicles including chocolate ones in the fridge freezer right now. However, having said that, I just had a bowl of ice cream! So far, though, I have managed to stay within my points.

Tomorrow is my weigh in day and I'm getting paranoid. I took clients out to dinner last night. I went in with a plan to get a spinich salad with salmon, but wound up with squash soup and lamb. My guests wanted a bottle of red wine, and, for me, salmon just doesn't work with that. I didn't eat all that much, but I have no idea of the points value. Plus, no time for any exercise yesterday. I feel like a slug. I will definitely walk tonight, but tomorrow might be a sad day.

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

I managed to make it through the long weekend sticking to my points! We went to a conservation area on Monday morning and I put on almost 8000 steps while we were there. Tomorrow is also my weigh-in day and I'm hoping that I behave myself from now until tomorrow morning. I'm expecting to see a loss at the this week but... we'll see. I'll keep ya posted.

Good luck tomorrow Sandi! I hope everyone else is still on track.

Lots of luck to both of you tomorrow. Not sure my week is going that well. Been doing good with food and exercise but scale not moving so far. I don't weigh in until Thursday so we will see.
