So how did everyone do? I know it was rough for me as I must have passed the cookie/chips/candy table 1,000 times and not once did I bend the elbow to grab even a small piece. And when I added my points when I had an opportunity to break away form the family I only used about 15 extra points of my 48 I get for the week. And that includes my Merlot I enjoyed at the end of the evening.

Feel free to share your expeiriences.

You did well Dave. Congratulations.

Christmas day wasn't my problem day. Mine was yesterday when we went to my mom and dad's with the whole extended family there. Sometimes I feel that my mom's goal is to keep all the grandchildren full of sugar and fat. Yesterday was definitely that way. Pork ribs and scalloped potatoes for dinner. Cookies, chips, nuts, etc. everywhere. Even if you just eat a little, it was huge points. I actually tracked the day and it was terrible. I was ready to cry (and scream) when I stepped on the scale today. I'm glad to be getting back on the right track today. I'm sure I won't recover by my Wednesday weigh in, but it's a new day today.

Happy Belated Christmas Everyone!

I really want to forget the last 3 days happened. I ate SO MUCH! I ate alot of Candy, and I don't even like candy!

Back on track today. And that's all there is to it!

Next 2 weekends will be hurdles as New Years brings another big meal at my Mother's house, and the following weekend is DS's Birthday. Wish me Luck!

I'm with you, Sandi! Yesterday was also my problem. We were at my Italian inlaws for the day and overnight last night. I did manage to just snack on fruit until supper and made it to supper with 18 daily and 49 weekly points available. I didn't track at supper but I think I may have eaten every single point. So for the rest of today and all day tomorrow, I have to stick to my daily points which maybe be difficult. Tomorrow morning I'm working so that will get me away from the kitchen which should help. I just have to hang on until my meeting on Wednesday morning and then I'll be able to start breathing again.

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping you guys can give me your opinions...

I have done WW in the past. I joined, rejoined, rejoined, rejoined... you get the picture! I've tried to go it on my own for a while and have managed to gain everything I've ever lost and then gain some more. However now I am getting to the point that I need a "plan" to follow.

How is the new Points plus program? My friend at worked talked about it and it intrigued me. I like that fruits and most veggies are free points. (although she told me that ALL veggies are free - just doing research online tonight looks like potatoes and corn are still counted???)

Can you tell me the good, bad and ugly about the program. Do you track on an electonic tracker, or do you track in a book? How much do all the products cost (calculator, books, etc) any helpful info would be great!

I am brand new to WW so I have nothing to compare the program to. I do like the freedom to have fruits and vegetables, which saves room for my evening wine.

I use the web site to track my points and I tend to budget the food before I enjoy. For instance, I will check out my lunch in the morning (cheeseburgers, sandwiches, etc) so I know excatly what I can eat. It seems to work fine so far.

I'm with you, can I PLEASE forget the last few days even happened . Food, food, food and more food and BRAVO to Dave cause I didn't pass up anything. I don't even want to get on the scale. It didn't help that we got 7 inches of snow in NC which means we were snowed in. I've has a massive headache for days too, I think too much sugar. And I did the same thing I ate things I normally would pass up, like these last few days were a license to eat. Have I not learned anything this last year. Oh, well what's done is done and I can't go back and change it. I'm going to do my best to move past it and get back on track. Great job to all who did well the last few days.

Don't beat yourself up! I'm right there with you guys. I already knew this weekend wouldn't be pretty. On top of that my normal weigh in's are saturday mornings so I didn't even get to weigh in this past weekend since it was Christmas and this coming Saturday is New Years so I really need to find at least some where to weigh in so I can be accountable for this past weekend!

Congrats to the one's who managed to behave themseleves this past holiday weekend.

Good morning all, today is a new day and I am going to embrace it 100%. I think my holiDAY'S is out of my system. I got the courage to step on the scale today and let's just say it wasn't pretty at all. The food may have won the battle this time however, I WILL WIN THE WAR!!!!! Good luck to everyone else whether you are struggling or not. As for our family, New Years is uneventful so no worries there food wise.


Welcome back to the plan Amber. You've done it before so you can do it again. I think we all have ;. Maintaining can be a struggle. I think that is where constant support comes in so don't forget about us we are here if you need us .

DO NOT WANT to go to my meeting today. I know I gained this week. It's been 8 months and I hover within 5 pounds of my initial weight.

I know its good that I haven't gained this year like in the past, but I need to lose.

I have never tried Weight Watchers, but I need to do something to eat better! My exercise habits are pretty good, but my eating habits are not. I intend to join the online program and give it a 3-month try.

The new program was rolled out after Thanksgiving. So most of us here have been doing it for the last 3-4 weeks I guess. It's new to everyone so I think most of us have had great results with the new program, not counting this last week for the holiday. We are with you!

Weight Watchers is the best!! I feel it teaches you realistic eating habits. You are not on some all carb, no carb, all fat, no fat, eat only our prepackaged food kind of diet. You can have anything you want you just have to "count" it and with WW it's not a diet it's a lifestyle change. And I don't say that cause that's their moto they really teach you lifestyle tools to get through every day not just until you lose the weight. Good luck, I personally prefer going to meetings however, joining online is moving in a positive direction. .

Hey Disney Dad, it's been a while. The important thing is you are back . So, has it been 8 months since a meeting, since posting here? Did you get to goal, what's the scoop. We probably need meetings the most when we least want to go. Hope you decided to go.

Well, I gained over 3 pounds from last week's meeting. I ended up buying the new points plus scale, and am now determined to learn to cook. It's so easy just to pick up a phone and call for take-out, but that's why I'm staying the weight that I am.

I'll keep you updated.

I think a lot of us may see a gain this week. Good for you for getting back on track. Here is a great WW food website. I make a lot of stuff off of here,
www.skinnytaste.com. Also, check out Hungry Girl website. I'm sure it still works the same if you're a Hungry Guy . Good luck, keep us posted.

I just got one of the scales too!

If you're not used to cooking, Dave, just remember that you can always head over to Metro or Loblaws and get a BBQ chicken. Make some rice and a few veggies and you've got a low point supper and a chicken sandwich for lunch the next day. Just don't grab their potato wedges while you are there at the counter. They look wonderful and smell great but we have no idea how many points are in them!

Hi NancyIL! I think WW online program is a great idea! It will certainly teach you how to make healthy choices. If you can get out to the meetings, though, you'll find that the meetings are a great source of support. The leaders are very knowledgeable and it's nice to have that accountability each week. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakauh!!

Welcome brunette8709! January 2 is a great time to start. Congratulations on you're decision to join! Most people are having wonderful success on the Points Plus program -- I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well.

So how did you do today, Stephanie???! I hope you were able to get back on track and stick to you're points. Keep the war in your name! One more day until your weigh in on Thursday -- you can do it!

I'm glad you dont have to face any challenges on the New Years weekend. I, however, am getting together with a bunch of cousins on Saturday. There will be lots of things there that will be hard to say no to.

I'm expecting a loss tomorrow. Wish me luck!
