A great weigh in this morning....5.8 pounds down, which was 3 weeks weigh in worth, so averaging almost 2 pounds, even over our WDW trip.

Julia

Awesome job!!

I tend to loose weight at WDW also... not as many opportunities to snack, and all the extra walking.


I had WI this morning... - 5 lbs!!! For a total of -9 so far. I am sure it was partly due to my illness, but a loss is a loss!!!

Walked today too, just a bit over 2 miles, so I am feeling good today

This morning we went to MK. Of course we went to the bakery!!!

When I looked at all the options, I sorta wanted FRUIT and I sorta wanted a chocolate croissant.

I debated in my head.

Either would make me happy.

I GOT THE FRUIT!

Victory!

(I am fairly certain however there WILL be a chocolate croissant later in the trip. )

I got some good exercise earlier today when I danced on Main Street with my little man. And the new Winnie the Pooh queue can make ya burn some calories too!

OK, this I really dont understand! I've been there three times and gained a total of 20.5 pounds! (5.0 + 7.5 + 8.0) If I didn't gain, I'd consider it a miracle. I just can't wrap my head around actually losing weight at WDW.

good job in the bakery today!! split that croissant withe someone when you get it later in the week...you'll still get a taste of the chocolate yumminess ( I love those too), but not eat the whole thing!

I'mwith you! I never lose weight at WDW. We do walk a TON, but I guess after a week of eating out it catches up with me anyway
Well see after our trip in May...miracles can happen

Just the fact that you thought about it is a major victory. Your making the healthier choice is icing on the cake (bad analogy). I can't wait to see the new queue for Winnie -- sounds like fun.

It's giving me hope for April. I'm looking for a miracle then.

I've been following this thread for about six weeks now. Actually, it helped motivate me to join WW along with a friend of mine. I've had 2 weigh-ins and my 3rd is tomorrow. So far I'm down 6.2 pounds! My goal was to lose about 10 pounds before our spring break trip the end of March. I need to lose ALOT more than that but every pound is a step in the right direction.

Good morning Tammy, weekends are the hardest for me too. However, getting back on track is the most important, so glad to see you are back on track. Have a great week. This will be my last weigh in before my disney vacation so we will see.

No loss and no gain for me this week. I only had the one bad day with the fondue, thankfully this week there should be no reason for me to go off the plan. I need to start losing again! Last week was only .5 and now nothing this week!

Sometimes this happens so hang in there at least no gain, don't get discouraged!! YOU CAN DO IT

Hey everyone...new here! I joined WW last week.

I turned 21 in August and while my eating habits haven't changed, my drinking habits sure have; when I go out I used to always drink a diet coke with my meal, but since I've turned 21 that diet coke has usually turned into 2 margaritas instead...and it shows in the 20 pounds I've gained in the last 6 months or so.

I'm doing the online program and finding it really easy to track with the mobile app on my iPhone. No excuse to forget to track what I'm having since my phone is almost always with me.

I lost 3.2 pounds in my first week! It probably would have been a little more but I went out on Saturday night and spent 34 of my weekly points on an unhealthy meal

So a couple of questions...weekly points can be used however I want throughout the week right? For example I can spread them out throughout the week if I end up going over a point or two on a particular day or I can use them all to splurge on one day (like I did...)? I wouldn't want to splurge every week but it would be nice if I am able to!

Also...I'm an online member, am I able to attend the meetings if I want to? I probably won't want to attend the meetings but who knows I might end up wanting to...

Besides going out and using most of my WP on Saturday, I've been doing really good and making good choices, even having between 1-3 points left on a couple of days. I'm hoping to lose the 20 pounds I gained since August by some time in May and then be down another 10-20 pounds by July. I'd like to be a total of 40-60 pounds down by October which is also probably going to be my next trip to WDW with my boyfriend!

Welcome, Kelly! Congratulations on your total loss so far. That's amazing! Good luck on your 10lb goal.

Sometimes staying the same is a success, too! Stay focused -- it'll happen.

Hi, and welcome to our thread. We have a few online members here as well, but I'm an meetings member. To answer your second question first, anyone can visit a meeting for free but the online membership is different from the meeting room membership. Online membership does not give you access to the meetings. If you decided you wanted to attend the meetings, you would have to complete a registration form and pay the weekly fees.

The weekly points are available to you when you need them. You dont have to eat any or all of them, however, I can't live without them. It is a good idea to incorporate them into your week. You dont ever want to go hungry. You can use them whenever and however you wish. Some save them for the weekends, some save them for special upcoming events and some (like me) spread them out evenly during the week. There are no rules for using up your Weekly points so just do what works best for you.

I noticed that you said sometimes you have a few daily points left over. It's important to use all of your daily points because you want to make sure you're getting all of your good health guidelines foods in each day. You might want to try eating foods with higher points values if your having trouble eating all of your daily points.

Hi there and welcome,

Jesse (CndBuzzFan) gave you great answers to your specific questions. I just wanted to add that while we all have long range goals -- like the ones you've set for May, July, and October -- I suggest that you set some realistic shorter term goals. If you are always thinking about losing 40-60 pounds, it's harder to think of a 5 pound loss as a success. WW recommends that, after the first couple of weeks where you may see some amazing pounds lost, your weight loss be in the 1-2 pound range. And, if you've read through any of this thread, oftentimes a successful week sees a 0.4 pound loss. Also, take your measurements now and then re-look at those measurements every month or two. Sometimes the scale doesn't move, but you've made muscle and lost inches. Those are part of the "NSV" (non-scale victories) we need to see. Good luck on your journey.
