Thanks for the welcome.

Sounds like everyone has been busy this week. Hi Dave - welcome to the group. I'm new here also. Just had my first weigh-in and found that I lost 1.6 pounds. Hope it warms up again so I can get out and do more walking.

Karen, way to to on the 1.6. I'm so proud of everyone doing so well last week and this week especially. This is a hard time a year for most of us and to really stick to the program when there are so many temptations, keep up the great work everyone .

Congrats Karen. Keep up the good work. I have my first weigh-in on Thursday and will let you know how I do.

Are you doing the "points plus" program? If so, how are you doing with it? I am finding that I will budget my meal on the computer (points wise) first and then prepare the meal/snack/etc.

What do others think, and are there any "tricks" you wish to share?

And the first of the year I will be doing P90X, which I should complete just before our trip to WDW in April.

Good luck with the weigh in and the P90X program...I've heard that is a real workout. I love the points plus program, mainly because I just joined and I'm not familiar with the old program. My system - eat all the fresh fruits and vegetables I can and then load up with lean protein. When it's cold out I stock up on Progresso vegetable beef soup, weight watcher's string cheese and the 100 calorie packs of extra cheddar goldfish.

I started my new years resolution TODAY! Ugh can not look at another cookie, piece of pasta or anything that is just downright bad for you.

I re-started weight watchers today and I hope I can join back in with you guys.

Going to start out slow following weight watchers...allow some indulgences but just trying my hardest not to over do it

Did a jillian michaels workout dvd today....hey its a start

Okay, this is not a "trick," but it is something that works -- faithfully track what you eat and your activity. If you have to write it down, you'll put more thought into it. One thing my WW leader says is that we only have to track on the days we want to lose weight. If you get to the point where you think you can keep it all in your head, slap yourself and get back to tracking.

Congratulations on starting. Today is the first day of a beautiful new you!

Usually I am the "lick the spoon" guy on this day. Unfortunately there are not enough Power Plus points to go around. If only the smells could fulfill my hunger pains life would be good.

Way to go getting back on track!!!

Another very wise post by Sandi. I need to print this post out and stick it on my refrig as a reminder.

Dave, I feel your pain. Finished my christmas baking the other day. I must of licked a thousand spoons out of force of habit. As I was cleaning each spoon with my tongue, I was like darn, forgot again no licking spoons!!! The problem now is I have a ton of cookies laying around. But I've been good, I've been trying to make it to Thursday's weigh in and then after that I am going to allow myself this weekend. I'm not going to go wild but, I will enjoy the holiday. Hang in there we are all in this together , isn't that a song .

This AM is our Annual Christmas breakfast at work. It is catered. Luckily, they use the same restaurant every year for the catering, so the menu is pretty predictable. Scrambled eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Grits, Bisquits, Fruit and yogurt. I have already tracked what I am going to have:

1/4 cup scrambled eggs. (measuring cup already packed in my bag) , 1 slice bacon, 1 biscuit, lots of fruit salad! I know I SHOULD have the grits instead of the biscuit and the yogurt instead of the bacon, but the beauty of WW is that I CAN eat what I like!

To counter balance the point expensive breakfast, Lunch will be 4 point Wendys Chili and an apple.

You are exactly right, You Can eat what you want!!! Good for you for planning ahead too. Have a great time .

Hi everyone! Hope you're having a great time getting ready for the holidays. Unfortunately, I'm going to miss WI this week because there is only one meeting within 60 miles for the next few days, and one of my children is sick

Good luck everyone this week - I'm trying to remember to track everything, and still enjoy the seasonal holiday goodies within reason.

Good job! I too am planning what I will be having for Christmas dinner. My sister is making our mom's dinner rolls and I put the recipe in the points counter (I tried saying it made 200 rolls but I know that was just fooling myself). It's funny how I am learning to "budget" my food intake now.

Dave, you are like my DH. Yeah, that cake (not a cupcake) is one serving.

I had my WI today. I'm happy to report another 2.2 pounds gone! This new PointsPlus thing is really working for me. I've lost more in the last 4 weeks than I did all of August through October. Gotta love the fruit.

Looking forward to hearing from the other Wednesday WI folks.

You are my inspiration girl. You are just knocking it out of the park!!! Good for you, glad the new program is working.

WI this a.m. - down another 1.2!!! That means I have officially hit my first 5%

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Weighed in today -- not even going there! DS and I decorated about 4 doz sugar cookies with royal icing yesterday and there are about 2 doz left! And the DAY BEFORE weigh-in. Who does that??!! I'm exactly at my goal which would normally be a good thing but since I had to go up to reach it, it's actually a very bad thing!

Anyway, Welcome Dave and congratulations to all of you on your losses this week.

I dont know if I'll be around much for the rest of the week so in case I'm not, have a very Merry Christmas!

Well, it's ok, it's Christmas!! When we go off the program to enjoy holiday's, vacations and special events, the most important thing is we get back in the saddle again. And I know you will get right back with it. Enjoy your holiday Jessie, Merry Christmas , thanks for being a great inspiration, support and Disboard friend .

Hi everyone! I am still hanging around. I had been tracking but was really busy yesterday and today, so I haven't written anything down. I canceled my monthly pass but haven't been to a meeting to talk to a leader. I may go next Wednesday, since that was the meeting I went to regularly for a long time.

I couldn't wait until Christmas to tell my Mom, I told her last night! After I found out my brother's wife is also expecting. Our Due Dates are really close.

I want to tell the kids on Christmas morning, I think they will be excited. DH is a little reluctant to tell his family. They can be grumpy about things.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas!
