Whoo-double-hoo! It was a latte day for me! I have no idea how it happened, between consuming all my weekly points by Tuesday and eating pizza on Wednesday and Thursday, but somehow I managed to lose .6 lbs.

Double skinny sugar free vanilla latte. M-M-Good.

Yea Robin! You did good with your pizza because you thought it through. The whole idea is to be able to eat real food in the real world and you are living proof it works. Congratulations.

Awesome! Congrats.....I'm hoping for one of those moments tomorrow myself...I really really need to get back on it...since the holidays and being sick almost 2 weeks and finally feeling better this past weekend I have seemed to thrown my weight loss out the window and I have roughly about 10 more lbs to goal! Ugh....I need to find will power once again....

Again Congrats on the loss!

Woo-hoo! Sounds like we have a lot of losers this week! Looking forward to next week when the scale is even lower.

I love the WW on-line weight tracker----today I got a big yellow star and the words "you've lost 5 lbs!". Feels so good.

Off to exercise last mad this coming week. It's been so cold and yucky out but finally starting to warm up enough to go outside and walk. I can only handle the ellipitical for so long.

I just signed up to do WW online. I plan on starting Monday. I wanted the weekend to shop and plan out my meals. I need to lose my baby weight (umm I have a 2 year old ) and all the weight I gained after I stopped pumping. I have a long road ahead of me!!

Welcome!! Good luck!

I hear ya, I have managed to get throught the last 2 months with staying the same weight and I was going through the WW motions but in a cloud and lately feeling like exercising and counting points was a chore. However, I woke up today and I feel like the cloud has lifted . You can do it, just find your focus again and press forward!!

Welcome and congrats on the first 3lbs . The first thing you need to do is erase that "big picture" from your head. Work on your first 5lbs (you're almost there) then 5%, 10% the next thing you know is you're down 20lbs. Just set small goals and before you know it the "big picture" isn't so big anymore . Good luck.

Alright ladies, I need some of those losing vibes! Between this wi, and the one before, I am up 2 pounds.

I know why. For some reason I like to track in "my head". Does anyone else do this? Try to keep a mental tally??

Oooh, tracking in your head doesn't work. If you bite it, write it; nibble it, scribble it; drink it, ink it. My "head" lies to me; my writing does not. You will find it makes a HUGE difference. Track only on the days you want to lose.

Today is a fresh start. Now treat yourself right.

GREAT JOB - ya big losers

Down another .4 this week - inching ever closer to my 5% goal!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I used to track in my head.

Then I gained 30 pounds and here I am, tracking again...and loosing again! My meals haven't changed much since I was on WW previously, but my portion sizes and balance have.

You can do this - track, track, track!

So sorry to hear about your cat! I hope things improve.

As for the pizza tour--I would do it! Apparently an average of NYC slices were done and it averages out to 7 points for a plain slice according to what I could find online. There is huge debate about it on the WW boards, some people saying a slice is more 10 or 12 - but a friend of mine said her WW leader (I do online only) said 7 points, so that's what I've been counting. Perhaps you could eat only half of each slice in attempts to save? I hope you have lots of weekly! Plus, if they have you walk a lot, count those steps! NYC is full of stairs and walking, so you might be able to earn some APs.

We found out more about the cat today- his thyroid and immune system need to be regulated. The vet is sure this can happen through his diet, so it looks that that is good news.

5 slices of pizza x 7 points=

I will weight in tomorrow morning before we take off so hopefully that will be motivation to eat half slices of pizza. I currently have plenty of weekly points, but do I get new ones on weigh in day? I am hoping for another loss. I have had one for the past three weeks and it has been great.

Losers, keep it up!

Happy weekend!

Good news on your cat.

The weekly points expire each week. You cannot carry them over. You get a new set of 49 points to use each week, but they do not accumulate. You use them or lose them.

Good luck in the city!

Do you have a problem weighing yourself everyday? I can't seem to stay away from my darn scale. It taunts me... come see if you lost anything? I am an online subscriber so I weigh myself in rather than going to a meeting and having an official weigh in. I only input the weight on my official weigh in day, but I can't see to stop weighing myself everyday.

I weigh myself every morning. I do attend meetings so it is what it is on weigh in day however, I can't seem to not get on the scale everyday either. Now I don't weigh myself several times throughout the day, just once in the a.m.

Are you married? Maybe you can have DH lock the scale in his trunk during the week.

I need that advice. I have a LOT to lose. LIke Biggest Loser, a lot. It's really overwhelming and many days I feel like I don't even want to bother because I am afraid to try again. I will concentrate on your suggestion.

Try not to be overwhelmed right out of the gate. I repeat this all the time on this thread but weight loss is less about what's around your waist and more about what's in your head, it's mostly mental. You can do it, it won't be easy and you probably will fall occasionally, but pick yourself up and get back into the game. We have a lot of people on here that have lost a lot of weight some still going and some lifetimers. Surround yourself with as much support as you can. We are all here for you !

Hi, all. I just started WW online today. I lost 60 lbs. on WW for my wedding in 2001, had DD in 2003, lost 60 again, went on fertility drugs and gained a bunch. I need it off NOW.

I am managing editor of a national foodservice magazine, so food is LITERALLY my job -- just yesterday I was cooking for a photo shoot and made four pizzas, a panini and garlic knots. We also own a tradeshow in Vegas every year with a huge show floor and TWO food competitions ... There is a LOT of food around. I also travel every other month to profile restaurants and that requires eating. I did it in 2004-2005, though, so none of this is an excuse NOT to do it.

Day one, and I have 8 points left. Let's do this.

For my weekend-
What would you do...... in the fall I booked Scott's Pizza tour of NY
http://www.scottspizzatours.com/
for this weekend for when I am visiting a friend in the city. We have waited four months for this. I love pizza and NY and seemed like a cool thing. At each pizzaria you get a slice- and there are 5 stops! I suppose if I ate nothing else all day. Tickets are nonrefundable. This wasn't such a good idea.

Just saw your post ... I know Scott personally and you won't be disappointed in the tour. He's fantastic and just the sweetest guy (he carries a water testing kit to test the NYC H20). Just don't eat ALLLL the pizza. (Pizza is LITERALLY my job ... I'm right there with you!)
