I just did our Income Taxes. My heart rate was high, I was sweating profusely, and it was hard to breath. Can I use this for activity points?

Hello all, I haven't been posting very often lately....guess I'm afraid I'm falling off the wagon and I'm just struggling to hang on...I just have roughly 10 more lbs to lose and I really hate the thought of giving up now...I just have to get it in my head that I will NEVER be natually skinny so I need to stick with WW. I love how much better clothes are fitting now and shopping has been way more fun and I feel way more confident now....but at the sametime I love FOOD! Ugh...

Last Saturday at weigh-in I was up .8 & at todays weigh-in I was down 1.8! Which is pretty amazing.

I also bought a swimming suit last weekend in my current size but my hopes is to get it in a smaller size by late spring...I currently wouldn't wear the swimming suit at the size I am now so if I don't lose the last 10lbs the suit goes back for something that covers more of me. I have the suit I hope to wear hanging out in my bedroom so I have to stare at it hoping it will keep me motivated. We'll see....I hope to lose 10 more but want to lose atleast 5 more by my 30th birthday in March. I think that is doable gives me 5-6 weeks...

Well I hope everyone has a lovely weekend! I for one can't wait for spring! It can't get here fast enough. Tired of the snow and cold!

Good job on the 1.8 . I'm having a tough time to, I'm trying to do everything I can think of to get pass this stall. But hang in there I'm hanging in there too. I have a March B-day too, but I'll be 30 + 10 . Was hoping to hit my goal by then but, not holding my breath. I guess it will come off when it comes off. Keep going you're doin great.

Hi everyone

Do you have room for 1 more? I bought my monthly pass earlier today and will attend my first meeting Tuesday morning. I am both excited and nervous.

I have always struggled with my weight, but was always able to lose weight when I really set my mind to it. I just couldn't keep it off. The past few years have been different though. Now, it seems like I can't lose. I can work out and eat better and lose just a few pounds. It has been tough since turning 40, but I don't want to use that as an excuse to remain overweight. Ultimately, I would like to lose about 70 pounds.

Anyway, I am a total WW newbie. I have never done the program before, so I'm looking forward to learning from all of you.

Welcome Eva!

, Dave thank you very much, I really needed a good chuckle. BTW I don't see why you couldn't add some activity points.

So it's been just over a week and I have lost 3lbs so far! I had 48 points left over this week and treated myself a little bit today with some Taco Bell (not too overboard). I want to make sure that I never feel deprived or I won't succeed.

So far I am really enjoying WW. I made a big pot of 6 point turkey chili tonight.

 

[Good Ol Gal]

I made chicken tacos in the crock pot last night and am having a hard time trying to figure out the points.

1.5 lbs of frozen chicken breasts
1 can black beans
1 can whole corn
8oz salsa

I figured the salsa, corn, and beans were 11 points together. The chicken was 24 points.

So... 35 points all together. I figured it would make 8 - 1 cup servings... so... 4.375 points per serving (I rounded it up to 5)?

Did I do that right??

I then added
1/4c light cheese 2 pts
light sour cream 2 pts
jalapenos 0 pts
1/2c brown rice 2 pts

So 11 points per serving?

congrats on a good first week! I have my first weigh in on Tues... hopefully I'll have a loss like you!

Yesterday I went out to lunch with my mom, mom in law and sister to celbrate my birthday. I feel like I did pretty well, had a salad, one breadstick and steak and gorgonzola alfredo, I know alfredo wasn't the way to go, but that is my favorite so i went ahead and ordered it. My real victory was that I only ate less than half of my entree. We also ordered a slice of chocolate cake and the four of us shared it, so I had a few bites of that. I of course, budgeted my weeklies so that I would be able to have this meal. I was so proud of myself, because at any other time in my life I would have inhaled the whole entree had several breadsticks and my own piece of cake. Later in the day we went to starbucks and rather than have a coffee and add more points to my day I chose to have a 0 point water!!! I am not only seeing changes in my body but also in the way I approach food.

Hi all....

I'm usually on the Podcast board so not particularly new to The Disboards, and not particularly new to WW as I have gone and come back many times.

I love the Disboards and since I'm on here all the time, I thought maybe I'd see if there was a WW board for support and, well, of course there is!! I'm turning 40 this summer and am sick of being this size....and want to start running again.

I live in NYC and walk a lot, which is a blessing -- and a curse due to all of the wonderfully available food! The holidays kicked my butt this year.


I work 2 jobs and am having trouble finding time to hit the meetings, so I was considering doing online only. Does anyone have any advice on this move? Any help is appreciated!

Take care,
Laura

Hello, all!

I have been a bit absent this week as it was a crazy week. I finally have a minute to read and catch up .

First- W E L C O M E to the new losers

Sounds like there have been quite a few losses! Keep up the good work.

Last weekend in NYC- Scott's pizza tours- was fantastic! I did have a slice at each stop- 4 stops. So I definately went over points that day. I splurged a bit in the city- a skinny latte here, deli sandwich there. Not a good idea.

Also, this week it was DH's birthday and I made his favorite- chicken riggies. I did not use anything that was light, I made it the real way since it was his bday and he is not weight watchers.

Let's just say I made a lot of bad choices. This was the first week that I used all of my weekly and activity points.

Yesterday was weigh in day, and I am up a pound.
Total loss, 13lbs. 37 more to go.

Question about [B]pop chips from special K- I picked up and read the box in the store, and I think it is great that it is a low point snack, but how many servings are in that box? It felt like one maybe two....

We are just four weeks away from our trip to WDW and the Dream and had a personal goal to be 8 lbs less than where I am now. I don't think that will happen, but a few more will be nice.

Today I am thankful for my treadmill. The high today will be 5 degrees I really do not want to leave the house.

Again, thank you to everyone for posting your menus. It is helpful as I do not like to eat the same things all of the time.

Have a good week!

Pizza tour sounds like SO MUCH FUN!!! I'll have to put that on my list of things to do.

The box of crackers says about 7 servings per box, 24 crackers per serving, 90 cals. The crackers are small, about 1 inch square. And yummy!

 

[MaryAz]

Welcome to the new folks!!

Congrats to the losers

Hang in there to those who gained

I am down .4-a loss is a loss.....

Now is the time I really need to kick it into gear. I need to go back to the gym. I also bought the Biggest Loser for my Wii. My goal is to be down 2lb by my trip to Vegas next month.

It sounds like there are several of us with 10-12lb to go. It is a tough place. I appreciate that we can all encourage eachother. Lets make this a great week!!

 

[ashenbiez]

hey everyone... sorry i've been MIA lately - lots going on around here!!
mostly been spending all of my free time working on my craft business - i just love how painting keeps me from snacking hehe

had WI today and i hit a milestone - TEN POUNDS! woo! The past two weeks I've been TERRIBLE at tracking, too. Partly due to two nights out in the city. Seeing a loss (only 1 lb, but still a loss!) this week really helped to keep me motivated, as i was starting to really drag my feet.
Finally went grocery shopping, too, so we have healthier foods around - hooray!

Today we're having a few friends over for the Blackhawks and Bears games, so there will be munchies all around. yikes! luckily, I already weighed in, and have a whole week to recover if i lose control today

108 days until DISNEY - I'm excited how close I am to double-digits! I feel like a little kid

Had my first weigh in yesterday...down over 4 pounds. I'm happy I'm off to a good start. I'm pleased because I went out to eat a couple of times and stayed good. I also brought breakfast and lunch to work everyday.

I do like this new points program, and am trying to learn the details. Found out yesterday at my meeting that only raw veggies are 0 points, not cooked! Luckily, that didn't impact my points alot.

I went out last night ( a Cioppino dinner) and figured the points. Tonight is Chevy's and I have already planned my points. It was interesting reading the nutrionals....I discovered that steak fajitas are lower in points than steak. How can that be? I also need to totally not eat any chips-because if I start, I can't stop.

I also discovered a treat I like-using the Crystal light flavors in sparkling water.

Good Luck to everyone this week.
