After 10 days of being on Weight Watchers (doing online only) I weighed in and did the happy dance! -6.0!

My weigh ins are fridays I'm running to the store this morning to make some of my favorite breakfast casserole (tailored to the points I'm willing to use for breakfast this morning) before we hit the city wide garage sale

-6 is my motivational cry this coming week.

Well, the 2 week disney eatahon is over! We are driving home and should be in NC at about 5:30. Not to keep sounding like a broken record but I still not feeling well . I am so afraid to get on the scale. I'll let everyone know my terrible reslults tomorrow or Monday. Although a great value for a family not sure I can do the dining plan again. We have done it every year since it's been offered so this was our 6th year of doing it. However, I am in a different place now and it didn't feel like a treat to eat all that food. I use to get such an emotional satisfaction out of eating and it just wasn't that way. Even though I was excited in the beginning to take a small break from the program and not have to count points for a while. Now I'm excited to start again. It's taking me a long time to get to this place but glad I'm here. . Have a great weekend all.

That is so true. I think we're better in the place we are now. Plus, it's probably better for our families.

I'm joining the Daisy2 fan club, too! Happy anniversary. Do you feel great? You should

Happy WW Anniversary Daisy2! You look great!

I ate at Sonny's last night. Wanted ribs bad. So I choose to share an order with DS 10. It comes with 5 ribs and 2 sides. I ate 3 ribs and had broccoli as my side. (DS had fries) I came home at got on the Sonny's website. The Ribs (all 5) where over 1300 calories and 113 grams of fat! My 3 ribs were 22 points. I also ate 2 pieces of Garlic toast at 4pts each! Lesson learned, check the NI before you get to the restaurant, not after.

OK so ate 40 points yesterday.

Today was a family get together. DBIL made big juicy 1/2 pound burgers. I brought Baked Lays, Hebrew National 97% FF Dogs with light buns, shrimp skewers and a big fruit salad. This really helped me stay OP. I came away from the festivities unscathed.

Great choices today!!! Yeah, we go to Zaxby's and their salad comes with garlic toast, I tell them don't even bother giving it to me.


We are home safe and sound, can't wait to sleep in my own big king size bed tonight . Just went through all the mail, got a note from the bank that my neighbor, gave me a check for watching her kids and well it bounced. Thank goodness it didn't mess me up fiancially but I was charged a fee even though it was her check. Now, how to deal with this awkward situation . Oh and believe it or not she is the treasurer of the PTA. Oh my, I guess welcome home, back to reality.

I gained 7 lbs the same way. I hope your luck with the water weight is better than mine. I'm still working off the weight I gained. It sucks to weigh more than I did 2 months ago .

Great job bouncing back. I had a similar experience at Jim & Nick's Barbecue on Mother's Day. I used up a lot of points on little tiny biscuits. They are 4 points each but only the size of a mini muffin.

Good Luck bouncing back. I am getting nervous about my trip coming up. I won't mind if I gain a pound or two but no more than that!

I was there over Labor day weekend (3 days) and gained almost 5, so I feel your pain. If you stay OP this week, and drink lots of water, you should see a big number next week. Probably not all of it, but you'll be back on to your lowest weight in a few weeks.

Hi everyone!

I'm still here, chugging along. My laptop died and I'm now without Internet access and I can't be bothered to post on my iPhone, which is what I'm doing now. I've had a crazy 2 weeks or so-really busy, stressful BUT I managed to maintain my weight, which I'm actually surprised by it, but I'll take it. Back to the grind tomorrow and looking forward to a loss.

Hope everyone is doing well and good luck with your weigh-ins this week!

 

[sjms71]

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. I was hoping for 5lbs tops. DH said it probably is only 5 actual pounds maybe and the rest is water weight. I hope so, I have had a wicked headache all night too, I think it's cause I've been good all day and my body is just readjusting to my ww eating. Went to the store today and my frig is packed now with all kinds of water, yogurt, veggies, fruit some chicken and shrimp.

Wonders10: At least you stayed the same. Hang in there we all have crazy weeks.

1 cup water
1 can whole tomatoes, no salt added, undrained and chopped (14
1/2-ounce)

sliced)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small summer (yellow) squash, coarsely chopped

I make this tuscan style soup. I use zucchini sometimes instead of eggplant also I add a can of navy beans. I don't have the points for this on hand but let me find where I wrote it down and let you know. I haven't made it since last winter

Good morning everyone, it's so nice to see the progress we've all made, and for those of us who need to get back in the groove, you know you have all the rest of us pulling for you! YOU CAN DO IT!

Today is my weigh in day, I am down another 2.4 lbs, for a total loss since my start date (Sept 21) of 8.4 lbs.

I have taken the advice given to me here to use all my weekly points, and I think it does help. I sure needed them when I ate out last Saturday! I had a 12oz ribeye steak (I ate 8oz of it) a loaded baked potato (ate 1/8th of it) and a salad that had the ranch dressing on the side. I used 2 tb of the dressing.
Let's just say that it tasted heavenly.
It still added up to all my daily points and then some. But if I don't have something I'm craving every so often I'll cheat, and so far I've been able to avoid cheating.
Yay Weight Watchers!

Thanks for posting this website!
I'm sure you will find that some of that weight you brought back as a souvineer from Disney is water weight.

Yippy on the 2.4

Already my souviner is starting to come off. But still up 6lbs so we will see what happens Thursday.

I am going to make some of the recipes from that website this week. I have my list for the store. Going to make the pumpkin butter and one of the chili recipes. I'll let you know how they turn out.
