cepmom~ how are you holding up? I'm been wondering how you were doing. I'm having a rough day today...my grandma passed away last night. I'm sending you lots of hugs and positive thoughts.

oh my gosh! I am so sorry about your grandma! sending hugs and good thoughts your way as well. its so hard but try to take comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and has moved on to a new chapter in her life

I am kind of a mess. I have a big test at school tonight (human anatomy & physiology) and I haven't been able to focus on studying all week. I just can't get out from under this fog...I haven't been eating right or drinking enough water; too much coffee trying to get the fog to lift so I can at least try to get some studying done, but it's making me feel worse. It will get better but right now I just want a day to sleep in and not worry about anything or anyone else but myself.

Morning WW Friends - here is my motivational quote for the day


"The only difference between try and triumph is a little "UMPH"

Hope you can put some umph in your day! Have a terrific day!

That's a good one Tammy. I will remember it.

I was down 1 pound at my WI today. Yea! It's a new week now and I think I'm ready.

Hey All, just checking in Congrats to all our Losers so far this week . Keep up the good work.

WELCOME to all the newbies .

So, feeling ok today so far pain was bothering me in the a.m. but made it through the day. As for food, ugh it hasn't been pretty . Oh well it's vacation. A lot of snack sort of items we all have been sharing but, I have been eating way too much. Hope everyone continues to have a great week.

Use the recipe builder and enter all the ingredients and the servings and it will calculate the points.

Bummer about the calculators - WW needs to something about this quickly - they are the key to the program - I would be lost without mine! Hope you find one soon!

Thanks.. I will try that.

I haven't had much time to post this week, but I have been reading! I had my first weigh in today and was down 2.2 pounds! I am very happy. I started training for the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon. I am sore, but feeling good and most importantly, not hungry!

Good Evening Everyone,

I haven't been around alot this week, but do pop by to read the postings, aas they are so motivational for me.

It's been a kind of hard week for me, but I have tried to keep persevering. I have stayed within my points, but my choices have been poor (like salad and hummus with carrots for lunch, with cake!!!).

Does anyone follow the plan where you just eat Power Foods, but don't count points? My daughter would like to follow that plan, and I'd love any suggestions.

Thanks
Julia

Welcome to the club. Different people will have different positions on your questions, but here are my two cents:

1. I will not do the dining plan while on WW. Even if it were free dining, I'd do a room discount (I have an AP). Although you can say you don't have to eat desserts, it's just too tempting. If I have to separately buy a dessert, I don't get one unless I really want it. Having it "part of the price" hurts me.

2. There are healthier options everywhere. I particularly like Sunshine Seasons at Epcot. There are carts selling fresh fruits and veggies now. That didn't use to be the case. You can also request carrots or apple slices instead of fries at CS restaurants. The TS restaurants will also work with you to get healthier options -- you just have to ask. We also order breakfast stuff and snacks from www.gardengrocer.com.

3. All the walking is great. I never count it as Activity Points though.

4. Last April, before WW, we went to WDW and had the QSDP. I'm sure I gained weight, but when I saw photos from that trip, I immediately joined WW (mid-April). In August, while on WW, we visited WDW for a week and we did not do a DDP, we ate at a wide variety of places -- including Yachtsman Steakhouse -- and I had a couple of Mickey Bars, a Dole Whip, and other treats. I also exercised at the BWV gym a few times. I kinda kept track of points on my Blackberry, but I was not Type-A about it. Upon return, I lost 2 pounds since the prior WI two weeks before. If you read through the thread, you'll find some people gain and some lose. But, they always acknowledge why and how that happened.

You have some time to go before July. By then, you will have really formed a habit and making wise selections will be second nature. We head back to WDW on April 1 and I know I'm ready.

Thanks Sandi for the great advice! And I'm looking forward to a dole whip! You're right, I'll have to be 'good' between now and July so I can relax a bit during vacation.
Lucky you heading back so soon! good luck with your WI and have a fun trip!

Hey guys. Rough week for me. I had a stomach virus. Didn't eat for 2 days. Then when I felt better I ate like there was no tomorrow. I was up 0.4 at WI. I know thats not so bad, but when I got home last night I went on an all out binge.

This morning I woke up and my mouth tastes like a salt lick. Already downed 2 glasses of water at 6 AM! Back on track today. My new size 14 Bathing suit is supposed to arrive from QVC today. Last year my bathing suit was a size 24. Tried it on this weekend and the bottoms fell down.

Next week is WDW. Hope to be in a good place food wise before I leave.

A new swimsuit! That is an amazing drop in sizes from your old suit. I can't wait to hear how great you look in the new suit.

Sorry you weren't feeling well -- at least you got the sickness out of the way before WDW. You'll do great -- I just know it.

Haley,

Glad to see you check in - congrats on the loss Great job with starting your 1/2 marathon training - I was to start this week too, but am sidelined with a sore foot - I WILL start on Monday with my week 1 training, even if I have to walk. Are you doing a specific training program?

Hi Julia,

Hang in there girl - you can do it - we all have "cake" days, mine are peanut butter days, but you will get through it. We have to be able to face the cake in order to stay on the program for life - have a bit or two, throw the rest away and move on

I know the plan is called Simply filling, like the old core plan, but I don't know much about it.

 

[dthogue]

Last year my bathing suit was a size 24. Tried it on this weekend and the bottoms fell down.

Hope you are feeling better - than is AWESOME drop if sizes - how exciting for you!!!! PS - I QVC!!!!

Morning WW Friends,

Hope everyone is doing well - I'm hoping to get to the gym this afternoon, haven't exercised in 3 days and I feel guilty, but my home scale is going down without the exercise, so that's a good thing. Afterwards my daughter and I are getting pedicures!

Motivation for the day...

Don't give up what you want the most, for what you want at the moment!

Interesting NSVs here. DD16 went with a friend last night to get some ice cream after their water polo practice. She got the local place's equivalent of a Oreo cookie blizzard. She brought it home and had maybe two bites, then said she was done. She sat it by the sink. I commented on how little she ate and she said, yeah, it was good, but that was all I wanted. (Victory #1 -- I didn't say eat it, you paid good money; and she is making a great choice for her health). I looked at it and thought, hmm, I could eat that, but I don't really want it. (Victory #2 -- I can't believe I didn't even take a taste.)

WW has made me a happy person again. Seriously I had days where I just felt dead. Now I look forward to doing things. I'm really starting to love cooking too because it's an important part of my journey.

I'm so excited about my future now. I'm hoping by summer to buy a dress or skirt that I feel great in. I've hidden myself for so long and I'm ready to be that girlie girl again.

Love coming here and reading other people's journeys. I don't post much but this really keeps me motivated to come here.

Have a great week girls!

I am taking my boys to the beach for spring break. I will be eating at a Hampton breakfast buffet all week. That makes me nervous as DH is at a Homewood Suites right now on business and just emailed me asking how many points in a cup of rolled oats. I told him 8. If that is what he ate this morning...he really couldn't have eaten anything else except maybe fruit. This got my mind to thinking about how much control I have over my WW diet at home--especially at breakfast. I would like to know safe things to choose next week while eating my free breakfast. Thank you for any help!
