Hi everyone! I'm back from vacation! Actually, I have been back for almost a week but have been side-stepping this thread. I went to my WW last Friday and I gained 7 lbs . SEVEN! Ugh. I ate green veggies every day, drank a ton of water and walked 5-10 miles per day according to my pedometer and I still gained that much. Of course, some of it is water weight and that is already done since Friday but I think I probably have a good 4 lbs of real weight to work back off.

So, now I am "back in the saddle" ... back on the thread ... and I will start tracking TODAY.

Try not to let it get you down. You are right back on track, which is great!

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.

Welcome!

oh yay! i figured out how to quote multiple posts at once. Sorry about that!

How many activity points a week do you earn? And do you usually eat them?

I try to earn 4 a day but I don't eat them. I always feel guilty if I do. I do eat all my weekly points.

I usually earn about 30-35 a week (so on average about 5 a day). I do not eat them. I do however usually eat a few of my WPs, but not many.

Three days into our week long vacation and things are going not too badly. I posted a few days ago about the never ending desserts up here. In the nine meals we've had I have had dessert twice. One was pumpkin pie where I skipped the pastry and the whipped cream. The other was a brownie, which I knew was going to be on my yes list before I even came up. The other is a butter tart. Those two are my allowances this week. The pie was not. Oops.

I've walked two days out of three. I've eaten half the amount of eggs they bring for breakfast and stuck with fish or salads for most of the meals.

The other thing I did was leave home the snacks. Well, other than some flax corn chips and one point bars. Normally we bring up a ton of snacks since there are "only" three meals. The resort has also discontinued leaving muffins on the table every morning. They're available but you have to ask for them. They're trying to cut down on waste and I'm trying to cut down on waist. Win Win.

I haven't felt bloated yet this trip. Usually I am so stuffed by the third day in, so I am thinking things are improved overall.

you are doing awesome!!!

Good morning all, ok, here are the results for this weeks weigh in down .6. Although, I wish it was more I'm happy I'm down.

10 pounds in 10 weeks= down 9.6 lbs and this is week 8, so I have 2 weeks to go. My next mini goal will most likely be to get all my free dining eatathon weight off . Oh, and by the way my DH likes I've been saying eatathon and wants me to make shirts for Disney that say 2010 eatathon, yeah I don't think so.

 

[mrzrich]

I've lost 34.2 lbs so far. My mini goal is to get to 50lbs by Christmas. I think this goal will help me stay focused through the Holiday season. I figure it to be about 16 lbs in 16 weeks.

You are totally on track!

I am still working off my "eatathon" *sigh*. It's really hard since I am really hungry all the time. I don't know what's going on but I want do to is EAT. I was hoping for half of my eatathon weight to be gone by tomorrow but sadly, that's not going to happen.

 

[sjms71]

I remember a few years ago after I came home from Disney and being on the dining plan I just felt hungry all the time. I thought it was so strange. My stomach was constantly growling.

 

[sjms71]

Yeah, but I have 4 days of free dining starting Friday!

Just didn't want to forget to say have a great trip!! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Stayed the same this week which was a bit odd. I have done great being back at school/work. Yesterday in the staff room there was muffins, donuts and cookies, didn't have any. Today there was 3 types of cookies and didn't have any. Feeling really good. Going camping again this weekend. It will probably be our last trip until next year. I am planning on doing lots of walks. Have a great week!

Sometimes, just being on a different routine can effect the scale. Glad to hear school is going ok, have fun this weekend camping.

Long weekends are always a challenge for me. Especially when visiting family where there is tons of food and they are food pushers. What approaches are you all using for this Labor/Labour Day weekend?

Have fun! Since it seems you have have extra credits, what about getting a dinner salad in addition to sharing? FWIW, my best meal last month was at Coral Reef. While I *love* fish I had the steak and it was really great. Shhhh! Don't tell the Le Cellier lovers who are looking for a 1 TS alternative.

Maybe you had more sodium or your body was retaining water?
Don't give up. You can do it. WTG on avoiding all the treats!

Ugh!!! Have I too said how much I HATE long weekends . I have no barbeques or any parties to attend but just everyone home for that extra day stresses me to no end. Especially since last week I was only down .6. I'm planning on keeping up my walking routine and drinking lots of water.

hi everyone,

room for one more? I belong to the disappearing peeps thread but you can never have too much support when trying to lose weight. For the first time in a really long time, I've been sticking to the WW program for a little over 2 weeks and hav lost 6 lbs. Long term goal is 75 lbs but I'm taking it little by little. I will be back later to fill you all in on my story and a little about me. Do you all share WW tips? I've been to the WW message boards and they aren't always so helpful or friendly - not like the DIS!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
