Congratulations! That is awesome and you deserve all the praise you're getting.

I did my WI today and was down 2.2 lbs over the two weeks. Not bad considering we were at WDW last week (which is why I didn't have a WI last week).

The theme of this week's meeting was very good, too. You can eat the foods you love -- moderation and frequency is the key.

DOWN 2.2LBS AND YOU WERE AT DISNEY??? I didn't think that was allowed let alone possible!

Truly amazing! Congratulations.

May I join in?

I have been doing WW (online only) for 6.5 wks now. I am down 13.6 lbs. I am trying to focus more on being healthy than the scale. If I am living a healthy life style, the weight should and will follow.

I was just thinking about how challenging eating at WDW will be for me, which made me search for WW on here. I feel torn... one one hand, i want to be able to enjoy myself (and free dining) since this is a vacation. but on the other hand, I do not want to gain back what I have worked so hard to lose.

I have 56 lbs to get to goal.

Welcome! Congratulations on your weight loss. While at WDW, just remember that eating is not the only way to enjoy yourself there. Treat yourself, have your 'must haves' but just dont go overboard. I'm also talking to myself when I say this....

Not a great loss today but still a loss. Down .04

I had hoped for more since we're going to be away next week at a resort up north with dining room meals three times per day. The meals themselves are not bad - portions are reasonable and there is always a fish option but desserts...

They have dessert available at every meal - well at breakfast it's called "pastry of the day" - semantics, it's still dessert.

At least I have five days after we get back before my next WI. I'll have to swim and walk a lot while we're away. Lake swimming - lots more energy expended I find than in a pool.

I usually start the week well and often by the last couple of days I find I'm up to two desserts a day. I'm going to try getting DH to split with me.

Hi Everyone! So glad I found this thread.
So....do you think it is crazy to not only plan my time in the parks, but also try to find time to workout in the gym? Is this crazy?
I have been on the treadmill or the elliptical at the gym almost daily since July and I don't want to break that habit. I am going to try to use the gym even if it only for 30 minutes while on vacation! Those few extra AP could equal an adult beverage!!

I don't think it's crazy. I wouldn't beat yourself up if you don't do a gym work-out every day on vacation, but trying to build it into your vacation makes a lot of sense to me. You might find that you're walking plenty at the parks, but the extra measurements at the fitness center gives you the certainty that gives you flexibility with the whole points thing. Good luck on your vacation. When do you go?

This weekend!

I know you're gone, try and check in with us. We'll miss ya!!!

On my way back from DC now, walked about 9 miles each day Friday and Saturday so hopefully the scale will be good to me when I check it tomorrow.

I am down 1.6 lbs today for a total of 15.2 lbs in 7 weeks.

My goal this month was to burn 12,000 calories (I have a heart rate monitor). I surpassed that goal this weekend, and I still have two more days left! Yippeeee

Oh, that will be lovely. I would totally schedule some time at the fitness center at SSR and work in the work outs a couple of times. It helps maintain your momentum.

Maybe it won't be that bad. You've done really well the last few weeks.

This is so not a PC thing to say on the weight watchers board but I envy you. I still have 19 days to go before our trip.

HI! I was wondering if someone could help me? My DH and I are thinking of trying to do WW at home. We have a friend who is going to get a points counter, but I need to know how many points we can have. Financially we can't really afford the online or metings. I have done it in the past and think once I know how many points we can have and I have the counter in hand I can try to make it work.

DH is 34 yrs old, 6 ft tall and currently weighs about 212.
I am 20 yrs old, 5'2 and currently weigh about 202.

Thanks so much!!!

Sign up for online for long enough to get the info you need, then cancel...or, check ebay. You may be able to get the materials you need there.

It will fly by.

My DS is 10 so this year he counts as an adult....BUT he still eats like a child, so I plan to share a lot of adult meals with him. For example We will split a half chicken, etc. This will keep me on plan, and stretch the credits so that we will have enough for CS Breakfast and Lunch and gives us an extra TS for our departure day.

HI everyone. I am new here.

I started WW yesterday for about the 10th time in the past 2 years.

I have 3 kids, always lost the weight after each child, except for that pesky last one. I needed to lose about 40 pounds, then I had a hysterectomy in Dec last year. I gained another 25 pounds. My Dr said that this is normal even though my eating habits didn't really change. NOw they have changed because I am depressed about my weight so I just eat more.

We enough of this silliness I am going to lose the weight, I have a cruise in 10 months, and I want to look good in a bathing suit. So today is day 2 for me, I am so glad I found this board.
