Weight Watchers Chat

[ScubaD]

Weigh in had me down another 2.0 pounds. I am happy with that, but why can't we maintain the same weight loss as we all had at the start of our diets?

It is sure nice to be away form the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years triangle.

I like the Wii zumba a lot. Haven't ventured to a harder level yet, may do that this weekend. I'm sure the classes are much more fun.

I wish my YMCA offered Zumba at better times for me. They are all late in the day for work commuters.

I am going to have to forget about buying cheese curls again! Even though I wrote down every serving (4 points per ounce), I had 5 servings of Cheetos Puffs yesterday! I should know that food like that just triggers more desire for food like that!

Some of the things I've been eating aren't an exact match for the food tracker, so today I figured the point values using the nutrition info on the container. My Brown Cow Greek yogurt with fruit is 3 points instead of 4 for generic fat-free yogurt with fruit. I also buy Naturally More peanut butter from Sam's Club (with added wheat germ and flaxseeds), and that has 2 points per tablespoon vs. 3 for regular creamy peanut butter. I was happy to recalculate the point values for several of my days this week.

Welcome! Everything you need is online. The food/point tracker, this week's meeting topic, recipes, point values, etc. You don't need to buy anything if you have the online eTools access.

My wife & I joined online last night! We were amazed at the amount of information on the site. I also have access on my Motorola Droid... nice!!

Let the shedding begin!!

Didn't get my notice of new posts. Thought it was odd that no one had been talking. (though I'm very busy trying to finish up everything at work so I can leave stressfree at 3pm).

Today was my first weigh in and I'm down 5 pounds!!

I am very excited and enjoying the plan.

Will be out of touch over the weekend, but hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

When you say you have access on your Droid - do you mean you can access the WW site on it? I was thinking of joining online, but last time I was looking around their site, it said something about being compatible with the iphone, so I thought it maybe wouldn't work with the andriod phones. If it works with them, I think I'll finally jump in and join online!

I use it on my Droid X. There is a PointsPlus calculator app that links to the WW mobile site and I just update my tracker from there. I think the iPhone has the tracker on an app (not just the calculator) but I can do everything I need to (record food, calulate a food's point value, look food up, calculate activity points, etc.) On my Droid. It's awesome! I wouldn't be able to keep up as well without the mobile feature.

I was at Target today and they has these Kelloggs Special K cracker chips on the end of the isle. So, I bought them cause we all know how much I like chips . Anyway, got them home and a serving is 30g. So, I put my bowl on my scale and kept filling it up. Well, you get a pretty big bowl for 3ppts. They are very good too. I bought the sea salt ones. There were sour cream and onion too.

I will have to find these. Love the sea salt things.

I have been doing well. Counting points was really hard. I was feeling really dizzy. So I quit tracking. I have gained about 3 pounds, I don't want to gain more than 20. I am trying to keep walking as often as I can and I continue to cook using my Weight Watchers recipes, and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.

I haven't gone to a Meeting in a few weeks. I need to chat with my favorite Leader and let her know, I don't want her to think I have given up.

Thanks for asking about me.

Hey Nancy, I know I'm a pest . Just wanted to see how you're feeling and doing. I see you added a new ticker. Hope all is well.

Congrats on all the losses so far!

Just got back from the doctor an hour ago. Seems I have bronchitis that is on the urge to turn into pneumonia. Ick. This means no running at all for at least two days per Dr orders.

This also means that I have to really watch what I am putting in my mouth, because when I am sick I tend to crave sugar. boo! My body seems to think when it has a fever, it has a higher tendency to burn more calories.. therefor.. "Bring on the tea and chocolate!".

Anyone else have this problem when they are ill?

I'm sorry, feel better . It seem like pneumonia is the "in" thing this winter. I was sick this past week. Just sneezing and very congested in the head. So, I've been exhausted all week and even though my stomach was fine I've had no appetite. Take it easy and don't push yourself have some tea and chocolate, as long as you count it , and feel better.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Those crackers look delish! I'll have to look for those too, thank you for sharing!

As for when I'm sick I crave carbs, mostly toast or bagels. Coincidentally, bread is one of my favorite foods. Perhaps we simply crave our favorites?

Thank you sweetheart. <3

I hope you get over your cold soon!

Have you tried a neti pot? They are supposed to be great for congestion this time of year.

Thank you, I haven't tried Neti pot but, it must be a big thing cause I saw it at Sam's Club a few weeks ago. I'll check it out if we go there this weekend. Thx
