Supposed to WI today, but when DH opened the front door he ended up looking like frosty the snowman! We have 4 feet built up on the yard and over 6 feet anywhere a snow plow has come by. At least I get another week to see how much I can lose!

Vickie- I agree, it is hard to get motivated to exercise this time of year, but I am happy to report that I just got off of the treadmill. TV helps, I recorded last night's Biggest Loser and watched that for 40 minutes!

Cepmom- looks like you got it worse than we did. They were predicted almost 2 feet, but we got more like 10 inches with some ice. Regardless- SNOW DAY!

On Monday this week I had to weigh in for the Biggest Loser at work. Their scale makes me 2lbs heavier but a lost pound is a lost pound.

Lastly, I have been weighing myself each day to keep myself in check. I won't get upset with what appears to be a gained .4 or .8 lbs as I know throughout the week will change, but if I consistently gain, I try harder to workout and eat great quality point foods.

Keep it up losers and stay warm!

Good morning everyone,

I am new to this thread. I started on WW back in August and I have lost 44 pounds! Though it has started to get really hard. I am still eating good, but the pounds are just coming off much slower. I need to step up the exercise - which I hate.

Has anyone else had this issue? What do you do to keep motivated?

Thanks,
Kristi

Holy Cow! Good for you I started in October and I haven't lost anywhere near that number. What's your routine/menu? I would love any pointers you can share!

Hi Everyone!

Just joined WW on Saturday, so I'm on day four. Seems to be going pretty well but since I have SO MUCH weight to loose, I'm having trouble eating all my points. Anyone else ever have that issue?

Hi diskids2, I have a lot to lose too....need to lose 50lb to have hip replacement in July. I actually don't have trouble eating all my points. With the free fruit and most veggies I can see where it may be hard to use all your points though.

I made spaghetti squash for the first time on Monday - it was great. I used a few points for some tomato sauce and grated cheese - yummy .

I picked another one up at the supermarket last night and plan on making it again tomorrow.

Well, just racked up 3 activity for shoveling snow! I guess blizzards aren't all bad
And I put a pot of veggie soup on simmer to I just go to that when I want something instead of the bad stuff

We don't have any extra snow here, but tons of ICE! It's slick out there! We rent, so I don't ever "get to" earn APs by shoveling. I've become a Wii addict this winter. I do the running, boxing, step, kung fu and the regular exercises, like sit-ups and push-ups. It's been awesome! When it gets warmer I will start up again with the Couch to 5K plan. I want to run my first 5K this spring or summer!

Has anyone read the article on the WW website, Scale Strategies? It's a good little article so head over there and read it if you get a chance. It's right on the main page under the latest from WW's.

Yikes! I racked up SEVEN activity points today. I shoveled for 90 minutes.

Boy, it was 68 in NC today. I didn't shovel but went outside and ran 3 miles. All my friends and family in NJ are complaining about the ice and snow this winter.

Great Job to both of you!

Excellent article. Thanks for referring us there. Here is a link for those having trouble getting to it: http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=98461

I had my WI today at noon. We had a snow day from work -- that never happens -- and lots of businesses and governments were closed. I thought I'd take a chance and was able to use my 4 wheel drive CR-V to get to WW. Amazingly, there was a woman there to weigh folks in. No meeting though. Anyway, the good news is that I am down 0.6 pounds. After these weeks of staying flat and gaining, it was welcome.

Sandi ... way to go! I'm glad you made it into the frozen tundra to weigh in . Congratulations on your weight loss. It's moving in the right direction .

Thanks for posting about this article! I just read it and I laughed about the "striptease" that a lot of us do at the scale before WI. In the past I was always going in to weigh with the lightest clothing possible, no shoes, no jewelry, starving, etc. Sometimes I would even get as crazy as to think that if I got my hair trimmed and shaved my legs that it would affect the scale :rotfl! I've decided to stick to jeans, and a sweater for WI now, minus shoes. Then when the weather warms up I'll just keep the shoes on. I'm hoping that will make my clothing options for WI more consistent.

you sound like me with shaving and hair trimmed to get a "better" weigh in. Those thoughts have crossed my mind .

thanks for the link! I'm now going to have to promise my BFF that I will never ask her to hold my coat for me

I am thrilled that I found this thread. I joined WW 2 weeks ago. The times and locations of the meeting are awful for me so I have to just use the online WW. I haven't lost any weight yet so I am a tad frustrated. 10% by April 1rst is my goal. That marks the start of our first Disney trip!!

So, I'm making my banana blueberry pancakes this morning. I'm just wondering, since I now have to count the fruit that I add to them, do I count the banana with the peel on or with it off???
