I went and weighed today and I lost 6.2 pounds and went over my 10%. i was shocked because I had a little slip involving some peppermint ice cream (light). I had a good weigh in last time and it had been 9 days. I may make my goal for Disney yet. I might even go exercise tomorrow.

That's fabulous. Good work!

I did not do so well at my WI this week. I gained 2.3 pounds. I had a tough week with snacking - not sure why I snacked so much but I'm back on track again and hoping to see a loss this week.

Hang in there. I have found the change in the weather is just doing me in. I don't know why. I don't want to exercise and I feel the urge to eat things I shouldn't . Have a good week.

Did everyone get there e-mail this morning?

I'm having a good weekend. Ate at Steak and Shake yesterday. I had two of their "Shooters" (mini burgers 3pts each) and a side salad. Said "No thank you" to a shake and ordered water instead.

Now we're taking the kids bowling.

I had a bunch of friends, notice I wasn't included in that sentence, run a 1/2 marathon today. Got me thinking about you, how's the 5k training going? If I remember correctly you are running one soon aren't you?

You're right Stephanie. The "Jingle Belle 5K" is on December 11. My training is going well. I'm doing a little better than the suggested schedule. It feels good. I'm not sure I'll be able to run the whole 5K without walking, but I'm confident I'll have no problem finishing and I don't think I'll be last.

Hi there everyone! Just checking in late. I had gained two weeks but lost almost all of my gain last week. I'm still up a net .6 lbs. I'm doing OK so far this week and I feel like it will be positive ... I mean negative .

Unfortunately, I have not lost all my free dining weight. It's really frustrating. I am looking forward to the new program in hopes that it will jump start my loss with and enthusiasm. At the rate I am going, I'll lose all my WDW weight just in time to return to WDW in December .

I so feel your pain!! Still have .6lbs to go on the disney weight and this will be the 6th week back. That is why I decided to cancel our December trip. I just can't do it no matter how much I may want to. Hang in there though I'm sure you'll have a negative week .

OMG, I love the name that is so cute. Glad your training is going well. I don't know how you do it, it must be getting really cold up there in MI. I have a lot of runner friends and you all inspire me. I've been wanting to do a 5k I really need to just do it. I have another friend that is doing a marathon in like 2 weeks. She topped out at 20 miles a few weeks ago in her training, wow that's a lot of running . Have a good week.

I also have a December trip. All I have planned is a Candleight Dinner Package at Tutto Italia, other than that I think I will be eating CS and off site. I think one night will be Subway and another will be Sweet Tomatoes.

We did the Candlelight Package with Tutto last year. We really enjoyed our meal there.

I stayed within my 35 bonus points this weekend. Although yesterday was probably my worse day eating wise but I did not binge so it was a success in my eyes.

I am looking forward to the new program as well.

That's not too bad then. We may still pop down to Disney in Dec. However, we will not to FD and it will be a cheap trip. Maybe 2 disney dinners and the rest quick bites. But canceled free dining ressie. However, we are booked for March for FD. We were able to just squeeze in for it. It will be for DD's 13th birthday.

about WW for kids? Well, I think the girl is about 15. I know someone who has a daughter and she needs to lose like 40lbs. I told her I really didn't have any info about the program for teens but I think at one time there was a teen at one of my meetings, I'm sure there is an age limit but she should be ok joining at 15. Does anyone have any info on this?

Children aged 10 to 17 can join, but they have to have a physician's note that contains specific information about what the "ideal weight" for that child is, etc. The WW plan is specially developed for teens, so it's different from what we do -- more dairy, etc. In some larger markets there are "teen WW" meetings, but they are pretty rare.

I think it would be really important that it is the daughter's idea. Having a 16 year old daughter myself, I know how prickly and hormonal they can be.

Thanks for the info, I knew that the program had to be different for teens and I assumed that she would probably need a dr's note. Very good suggestion on being her idea I'll pass on the info.

I have a reservation for Christmas Eve at 'Ohana, Christmas at Chef Mickey's and NYE at Via Napoli so far. I also have a Restaurant.com certificate for Kimono's. We don't pay for the DDP now that my DD is a "Disney Adult". She simply can't eat $42 worth of food and usually still orders off the kid's menu. We will probably eat a lot of CS meals and maybe even a few meals off site.

Are you a member of Sweet Tomatoes "Club Veg"? They email coupons to me a few times per month ... usually buy 1 adult meal and 2 beverages and get 1 adult meal free. I think we spend about $25 for our family of 3. I bring it up on my phone and they punch the code in for the discount.

To tell you the truth my whole December vacation is up in the air. The Wisconsin Badgers football team is doing much better than anyone expected (*knock wood*) and there is a chance that they might go to the Rose Bowl. If they do, we're eating the airline change fee (0 WW points ) and going to Disneyland instead and then to the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. I think it's going to go all the way down to the wire so I won't know until November 27th. Unfortunately, that puts me outside the 31 day window for BOTH of my DVC reservations (Christmas at BLT and NYE at BWV) and I would probably have to rent them out. *sigh*

I am having a good week so far. I am looking forward to the new program a lot. We have been eating at home, so I hope Friday's weigh in has good results. Yesterday I walked 4 miles, tonight I hope to work out with my weights using the demonstrations on WW website.

If Nov. 28 is the roll out date, is that when we should go to a Meeting to find out about the new plan? I don't want to wait almost a whole week to find out about it. Our center has a Meeting at 2:00 that day. So I could go to that Meeting.

Hope everyone is having a good week .

Where can I find info on the new program? Is it something about fruits and veggies?
