Well Thursday was a better day than Wednesday, and this morning I went to my Weigh in and I lost 2 pounds! I was super excited, and I earned another 5 pound star, bringing my total weight loss to 85.6 pounds!

After my Meeting I went and got my hair trimmed, and my stylist was super sweet and told me how great I looked. So far I have had a really good day.

I hope everyone else has a good day as well....

That is definitely something to be thrilled with. Great work. I'll be you're walking taller and looking sweet with your new do!

Congratulations!

I weighed in today and lost another whopping .2 pounds. I am starting to get frustrated. I tracked everything this week, ate my daily points and most of my weeklies and even earned 6 APs that I didn't use. PLUS ... I weighed myself every day from Monday - Friday and OF COURSE my highest weight was TODAY. Arrrrrgggggg!

I'm going to try to keep on track and be "good" today because I am going to the University of Wisconsin homecoming game tomorrow complete with tailgate party. I'm bringing home made guacamole with pita chips so at least I'll have something other than standard chips to snack on.

Hey, at least your 0.2# was in the right direction! Remember to look at the average over a period of time. Our bodies change from day to day. It's what you've done over the last few months or even few weeks that shows the whole story.

Oh, and sorry about last week. Go Spartans, beat the Wolverines! We aren't going to the game since it is in Ann Arbor, but I can tell you anyone left in East Lansing will be tuned in on TV.

You should be very proud of yourself, and what a great way to give yourself a treat with getting your hair done. I think you may have mentioned this but how much more do you have to go?

Don't get discouraged like Sandi said, at least you are going in the right direction. Sounds like you did good all week. Keep doing what your doing and I'm sure the scale will show big results next week. Have fun at your game.

Yeah, but I'm down a total of 2 lbs in the last MONTH, so it's just same old same old for me.

Oh, and sorry about last week. Go Spartans, beat the Wolverines! We aren't going to the game since it is in Ann Arbor, but I can tell you anyone left in East Lansing will be tuned in on TV.

Thanks ... what a lousy game for us! Good luck beating Michigan . It's the one thing that 10 of the 11 Big Ten Teams can agree on .

These are my two goals...
I have 14 pounds to go to earn my 100 pound medal and I have 32 pounds to get to Lifetime membership. Right now I am 181.8 and I am 5' 5" tall so I need to get down to 150 to make my Lifetime membership.

That is definitely something to be thrilled with. Great work. I'll be you're walking taller and looking sweet with your new do!

Thank you! I hadn't had my hair trimmed all summer, so it is nice to have a new do!

Keep on tracking, at least it is a step in the right direction.

Have fun at the game...Home made quacamole is so yummy, I love it! It is actually one of my trigger foods, so I don't make it very often.

Tonight I am making my favorite home made grilled veggie pizza!

Hi everyone,

I'm visiting my mom for the weekend, so I am able to use her laptop and see the internet on a screen bigger than an iphone, thank goodness. I'm still having a hard time staying on track, but I've been weighing myself and from last Friday I am down 0.4. I don't know how that is happening and I almost don't believe it but I guess eventually if the scale keeps getting lower and my body isn't changing, I know I need a new scale. This is really the week for me to get back on track. I want to see a real loss and want to start seeing a difference in how I look.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Robin,

I'm sure the scale will catch up with your efforts soon. HANG IN THERE!

I am the same height and have the same goal. I was thinking of going to 146 just so I can get the 75lb metal but, I'm afraid if I hit a plateau it could take forever to get those few pounds off. After I hit lifetime I think I'll lose a few more lbs. But good for you, you are doing so great!! 85lbs , that's the size of my 7th grader. It's an accomplishment just to be so committed to the life change. Again, you should be VERY proud of yourself.

Hang in there Wonders10 I know when the scale has these small numbers we tend to get down. Think about maybe one thing you can do different. When I don't like the numbers I say ok, I need to change it up a bit. Have a good weekend.

To anyone else out there...do any of you have an elliptical machine at home, what are your thoughts if you do.

Hello. I am new to this board, but not new to WW. I joined WW last year and got within 15lbs. of my goal weight. Due to a crazy schedule, I was unable to continue attending meetings, so I stopped WW altogether. What a mistake that was. Now, with a new cruise to look forward to without my children for the first time, I am really motivated to get back into the swing of things. I have begun participating in pilates classes twice per week, but nothing else really strenuous. I just want this weight to go away.

Welcome to the forum. This is a great group of supportive people. Have you rejoined WW? I find I need the structure of the program, the weekly meetings, and the WI at the meeting. It helps motivate me and keep me focused.

Saturday didn't go so well for tracking. I NEED to stay on track today!!

Welcome, Once again I agree with Sandi (she's so wise ) Meetings are so valuable, I personally couldn't do it without the meetings and now the great supports and friends I've made here. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Hey Stephanie, you're so sweet. I had a horrible tracking day today -- ummm, have it all "up here." That never works, why do I think it ever will?! I hope you had a good Sunday.

How's everyone else doing? Rah, rah Badgers and Spartans.

Sunday has been much better for me. I basically said to myself, focus girl ! Ran my butt off today, I walk 5 miles everyday except weigh in day and I've been running more and more of that 5 miles. Today I really pushed myself.

Not sure if I ever mentioned this but we almost made Michigan our home many years ago. DH's transfer from our home in NJ was either Midland, MI or outside Raleigh, NC. Warmer weather won out.

I have an elliptical machine at home and I have to admit this is my 2nd elliptical because I used the 1st one so much it broke. It was only about $300 so I treated myself to a new one but shortly after I fell off the exercise bandwagon

I will say my most success came by using the DVR to record shows I really liked and only allowed myself to watch them if I was working out.

Hey, thanks for thinking of us! Happy Columbus Day to you guys!

Where is everyone? Hope everyone's week is off to a good start. I'm tracking away and staying on plan however, TOM has me a little bloated so may mess me up at the scale this week. I'm so excited, my baby sister (well she's 32) lives like 4-5 hrs away and she's coming with my
5 year old niece on Thursday. I haven't seen them in forever so I can't wait!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I am around, but I am sick. No activity points for me this week. I have a sinus infection, with a low grade fever. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon.

I'm sorry , being sick is no fun, hope you feel better soon.

My knee is acting up so few APs for me. I walked 15 minutes today but I really can't go any more than that except maybe around the block with the dog.

My weekend was OK. Saturday was bad because it was UW Homecoming and beautiful weather. In my defense, most of what I drank was LIGHT beer . Friday, Sunday and Monday was good for me.

Man, we are all just falling apart this week, my knee has been acting up too. I think it's not getting better either cause I keep pushing myself. Feel better Robin, sounds like you had a good time at the game.
