DH and DS have left. I went to Publix, bought a bag of apples, a bag of salad and some baby carrots.

I'm going to make some SF Lime Jello tonight.

Dinner is 1 cup of Shrimp with Broccoli over 1/2 cup rice.

So far so good.

Good job on the good choices, keep up the good work, Dinner sounds so good.

Read it on 3 fat chicks boards. Of course it is all rumors, but it is similar to the German pro points system. (Never understood why the program is different in different countries)

I thought someone mentioned it on here about the new program but, I haven't heard anything at my meetings. I'll ask next Thursday.

I am laughing because on the WW boards some people say it will be like the Australian plan or the British plan but in the end, all of the plans sounded a lot like what you described as the German plan. I even heard the Canadian plan is totally different than the U.S. plan. I guess it is just a small world after all
Anyway, I can't wait until the week after thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing all the info!!!

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!!!!

Welcome! I have all the materials from previous tries with WW so I was able to go ahead and get started. I'm diabetic so it's the best fit for me! I too have to be held accountable(weigh ins) I'm fortunate that we are doing a "Biggest Loser Contest" at my school! Everyone put in $10 and whoever loses the most weight the day we get out for Thanksgiving gets the money! We'll do it again in the Spring. I'm in it for the long-haul this time! Our school nurse is doing the weigh in's each week and I've already told her I wanted her to weigh me every week. This keeps me motivated so I'm planning on joining WW on-line too. It's cheaper and I'm already getting great support from my friends at school!
Good luck everyone! I've lost 2 more pounds this week! 6 pounds total since last Monday. I know this won't last once my body gets used to the foods I eat, but 1-2 pounds a week would be super!

Great job on the 2lb loss this week. I love the idea of putting $10 in a pool of money and the one with the most weight loss gets it.

OK friends are total Weight loss for the week is looking good. So, if today is your weigh in day please make sure you come on here and post so I can add you to our total for the week. I will post the results tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure the Canadian Plan will be the same as the US Plan. We get all of our meeting material / topics from the US and all of our food products are shipped up here from the US warehouses as well. Our roll out date to the members sounds like it's a week or so later then yours (Dec 5 for the meetings and Dec 6 for E-tools) and we'll have a Canadian version of the Food Companion and Restaurant Guide but I think the actual Plan should be the same. I believe we are part of Weight Watchers International.

I googled WW new plan 2010 but I'm not getting much information.

So here's how I got my exercise yesterday. I volunteer at DS school on Friday mornings. When volunteers are in the school, we have to sign in and out at the office. As I was leaving, I walked down the hall, down the stairs and down another hall towards the office and realized that I had forgotten my coat. So back up the hall, back up the stairs and back down the other hall I went. Put my coat on and then went down the hall, down the stairs and down another hall to the office. I signed out and walked down a couple of halls to the side door and left. After I had walked about 3/4 of the way home, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten something else.... THE VAN! So back to the school I walked!

Yup! True story! I was laughing at myself (outloud) all the way back.

You could try clicking on the "Search" button above and using Atkins as the key word.

It's been quiet here yesterday and today. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Well, I've had a pretty good weekend. Not really good with tracking, but lots of exercise and making pretty decent choices. I just haven't been on my computer much, so haven't been tracking. Of course, that is counter to my WW Leader's admonishment "just track the days you want to lose weight."

How is everyone else?

 

[sjms71]

Ok all, so for the week of 10/18/10 the results are.............

15 lbs. lost as a group


**if you didn't post your weight loss for last week and want to be added to our total just post weight loss and date of weigh in and I'll add ya.

Beautiful weather this weekend here in NC. Did my ususally exercise routine. Ate a little more than normal on Saturday but used my extra points. Today went well as for as tracking. Dh and I are "thinking" of selling our house and moving (in the same town just the other side). It was a lot of fun looking at model homes, of course loved the house that was totally out of our budget. Not sure if we will take the step and sell our home and build another but, like I said it was so fun to look at stuff.

I had a decent weekend. Officially getting back on track tomorrow, all my meals are planned and I feel my mindset changing back to where it was when I was losing. My goal is to lose a pound but my I would love to lose 2. I went to the walk in clinc this morning and I have an upper respiratory infection. I'm hoping the antibiotic I'm on doesn't interfere with weight loss. My time of the month is also 5 days late. Not sure why and I'm definitely not preggo. Sometimes stress messes me up but I'm not particulary stressed. Maybe my bad eating has messed with it...last month it came a tad early and I was eating really well then. Anyway, hope everyone has a great week. Good luck on your weigh ins!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

So far I have had a pretty successful weekend. I have earned 8 activity points, and I have tracked everything I have eaten. I have eaten some of my weekly points but give a girl a break it's the weekend!

I ordered the wrong soup at Panera Bread. I was planning on ordering vegetable soup for 2 points, but they didn't have it today, and I was too busy finding out what the kids wanted to notice until it was my turn to order. I quickly choose the Creamy Tomato soup, only to find out that is 7 points for for the portion that you get with the "You Pick Two" It was the highest points value soup on the menu! I tracked it and moved on with my day.

I am saving up my activity points for Thursday evening when we arrive at Disney! So far I have earned a Brownie!

Today is our mayoral election. Our city has had the same mayor since 1978. She's almost 90 years old! She never campaigns and always gets in with a huge majority. But can you imagine seeking another term just before your 90th birthday?? She's a great mayor and I'm sure she'll get in once again.

I've had the munchies for quite a while this morning. I need something soft, chewy and ooey-gooey. So far, I haven't given in to them. I did have a WW Choc Caramel Mini Bar and just finished a bowl of grapes. It will be time for lunch in about an hour and hopefully they'll have disappeared by then. I've been really good since Saturday and trying to snack mostly on fruit. Hopefully, I can last until weigh-in on Wednesday.

Have a (OK, I'll say it...) magical vacation! My typical response is, "Oh, I'm so jealous!" Enjoy yourself!

Hey guys, hope everyone is having a good week. It's been very quiet on here this week. I've been very busy this week myself. I feel terrible, I didn't even run yesterday . I did a 30 minute cardio burst workout and ate very well and tracked. But I feel like I'm losing my enthusiasm. I mean I am not giving up I'm just tired of the WW/exercise routine. I feel like I mix it up that what else can I possibly do. Maybe it's this vacation weight coming off that's got me down. DH wanted to go again for FD in December and I was like NO WAY. Oh well, Thanks for listening .

I made it through day 1 of being back on points. I did dip into my 35 points - left work early because I was feeling yucky, actually think its a side effect of the meds I'm on. I had a couple extra snacks while watching movies and resting. Anyway, I'm feeling better and still have that motivation to track and lose.

I'm really just so sick and tired of looking and feeling gross in pictures and trying on clothes that used to fit and are tight now, etc. Disney is in 2 weeks - not sure how much I could lose by then but I will be happy with solid losses every week leading up to it. I don't want to give myself unrealistic expectations and then get discouraged and eat because I didn't lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks or something crazy like that. I'd love to lose an average of a pound a week from now until Christmas (also my cruise that is the week prior to Christmas). That is my goal. Reasonable I think.

Hope everyone gets their motivation back or is keeping it up and having a great week!
