well I haven't really posted lately but it looks like everyone is doing well! Congrats on all the losses! Though I have been having a rough couple weeks especially so on the weekends I have still managed to lose every week since I have started. Though most have been as little as 6oz with the most being maybe 2lbs. But typically my weigh in's are under a pound. Anyways I reached my 10% goal at weigh in today! I was super excited as when I got dress this morning to go I thought for sure I gained this week and all I needed to lose was 10oz to hit my 10% goal. So now I set my goal weight today. I hope I can keep it up! Especially with the holidays looming plus I'm in a wedding in the beginning of december so I'll have extra temptations between the showers, bachelorette party and the wedding itself. Ugh....I hope I can at least maintain those weeks.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Good job on the 10%. It's a great feeling to set your goal weight. It's within reach now!

My weigh in on Friday showed another week of staying the same!!! Of course, I haven't been tracking or counting points and have eaten some naughty meals. I feel like I've gotten my determination back and this week will fir sure show a loss! Disney is 4 weeks away and our cruise is 2 months away and I want and need to keep losing for those events. I'm hoping to lose 15 lbs by our cruise-Dec. 18. Would love to get under 200 by then though which is 18 lbs.

I am so glad to have found this thread! I love WW. I have used it for years. After both kids and I am back on it now. It's the only plan that has worked for me.

Hang in there. Just focus on the prize. You have a month before Disney and you'll want to be a few pounds lighter by the time you go. So, just keep replaying that everytime you want a naughty meal . YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Glad you found us. Let us know if we can help.

Good Morning everyone!!! Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was very busy. Did my best to stay on plan. Saturday's are the worst, potato chips are the devil..............I'm just sayin.

So, I started to make a list of everyone that has checked in here the last 2 months and their weigh in days. We have a lot of WW friends that we haven't heard from in a while. I know life gets busy but if you haven't posted in a while let us know how you're doing or if we can help if you're struggling.

I mentioned last week I was going to try and keep a running tally of our weight loss. So, I'll do the weekly total and YTD (year to date) starting today for the remainder of the year and start again in January. We will see how long I can keep it up . So, be sure in check in with us so we can add you to our total pounds lost. Have a good week everyone.

Congratulations on reaching your 10%! Take your key chain with you when you have your extra temptations. Use it as your anchor and your reminder of how far you've come and of how hard you've worked to get yourself to this point. It may be helpful in keeping focused during those celebration meals.

Staying the same is better than gaining! With not tracking or counting, you're pretty lucky to have stayed the same. Glad you've found your determination again! Good luck on those next 15 pounds!

Welcome to the thread, Carlyzmom! I love WW, too. Feel free to jump into the conversation at anytime. Dont be shy! We're glad you're here.

It's hard to stop after that first chip, isn't it! I can say no to the first one but not to rest of them. Even after the bag is empty, I'm usually lookin' for more.

Good Morning! My weekend was good. We went apple picking Saturday. I decided to eat lunch at home rather than roast a foot long hot dog over a fire at the apple farm. We baked an apple pie while we were there and I only had a tiny bite of it when we got back. So there are a couple of success for Saturday. Sunday afternoon / night however, I had the munchies in a major way. I ate a little more than I should so I'm going to try to be extra careful today and tomorrow. All my fresh fruit is gone so I'm going to have to eat apples until I go shopping on Wednesday.

Anyway, thanks for volunteering to keep track of our weight losses! That's very ambitious of you, Stephanie! It will be interesting to see how we're going as a group.

OMG, no kidding, I should know better too, DD talked me into buying brbq chips and of course it was buy one get one so I said grab a bag of plain. Well, as I'm standing in the kitchen with the bag on Saturday eating fist fulls, as the chip crumbs are dropping out of my mouth, I'm saying to DD please take these away and throw them in the garbage!!!! She was like really mom? They are now in the large can outside awaiting to be hauled away.

What will power! Throwing them out -- very impressed. The potato chips killed me this weekend, too. That's so strange. Friday night we ate a whole bag of the salt and vinegar -- my favorite (how did they get in the house). Then, DD's birthday was on Saturday and she had 13 friends over for a party. Those darn girls didn't eat everything, so there were leftover chips and more.

Anyway, the house is safe once again! If (when) I gain this week, I'll certainly know why and I won't go off the deep end. I'm back on the WW bus -- especially now that Stephanie is keeping track. Yikes!

Chips are a trigger food for me! Though I prefer baked chips over regular chips any day though but eating the whole bag in one or 2 sittings is never good baked or not. I love me some baked BBQ and baked salt and vinegar chips!

I really need to start tracking my food! I feel like I'm losing control and I know it will catch up with me here shortly if I don't get back on track. Didn't work out at all this weekend. Hoping to get in some extra time in during this week to counteract my lack of excercise and portion control this weekend!

LOL, I promise I won't call you out if you don't lose or if you gain. Thought it might be inspiring for us to see a big number as a group.

Yes, the chips are a trigger for me too. I mean it was sad, I was shoveling them in so fast it was out of control and I didn't count them either.

I know it's hard and sometimes inconvenient but you need to write it all down and track, track, track. And beware of those BLT's too cause they add up. Carry a tracker with you or even a little note pad. Try to plan your food ahead of time as much as you can.

Hey everyone!
I lost 4 pounds in my first week! This gives me the motivation to keep going! Best wishes to others who have lost this week! If you didn't lose don't give up-I've done that too many times in my life! Keep fighting the good fight!

Good Job!! What a great start. Keep up the good work.

Ok so I am sitting here watching the Biggest Loser, really disgusted at these contestants whining about "only losing 6 or 8 pounds"

I've always enjoyed this show in the past, but its so unrealistic.

 

[Alice_in_Wonderland]

I posted a thread yesterday about which weight loss plan was working for people and Carylzmom suggested WW. I have been a member of WW in the past more times than I can count. I always lost weight but then lost motivation and quit. Now I am at a point in life where I have to get this weight off so I may have to just suck it up and do it.
I am trying to decide between rejoining my local meeting or joining on-line. Has anyone had any experience with ww on-line? Do you like it better than the meetings? Any information that you could share would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Welcome!!! Yes, I too have been on WW before and did well. But this time I've decided to stick it out till the end. I am happy to say the finishline is at least in sight this time. I personally need the disapline of going to the meetings, I wouldn't have made it this far if I was doing online only. It may work for some but not for me. I've already decided I will also need still attend weekly meeting even after I hit lifetime. I LOVE my meetings the people the leader. I have made great friends over the year. I'm excited to go every week just to see how they did. I say YES to going to meetings. I can see if you are working it may not be easy to go, I'm a SAHM with two kids in school so it works for me. Good luck.

sjms71-thanks for your advice!!!

 

[Sandi]

Stephanie provides great advice. I agree with her that the in person meetings are very important. I learn something at every meeting I attend. I also do the on-line WW with tracking points and weight. I find it easier to keep track of everything that way. I can connect from work, home, and in between with the Blackberry application. I work full time plus and have a high school aged DD. It's interesting to me that you are getting the same "go to the meetings" advice from different life perspectives. Give the meetings a chance Alice!

 

[Alice_in_Wonderland]

Thanks Sandi-message received loud and clear I am getting ready to go to a 10am meeting at my local center. Thanks for the help everyone!!!!
