Ok, so I got the courage to jump on the scale this morning and I am 5lbs up. Not too bad considering it was 2 weeks of eating out. I am also hoping at least some of it is water weight. I've had no problem getting back on track though so, I am very happy about that.

Yaaaah! Two weeks and only 5 pounds!

I know I was kind of surprised. Although I didn't get the butterfinger cupcake this trip, I did have cheese cake, chocolate mousse cake and peanut butter chocolate cupcake and some other things .

Hey that's not so bad...besides part of enjoying vacation is doing and eating what you want! I know that next time I come home from WDW I'll probably be up a couple of pounds, but I also know that I'll have had and enjoyed dole whips, mickey bars, and all kinds of other stuff that I can only get there!

I chickened out on my weigh in yesterday since on St Patrick's day I had a pretty bad day and ate almost all my WP. Then Sunday I went to a baby shower at an Italian restaurant with nothing healthy to eat...then again that night my grandparents took my dad and I out to dinner and ice cream, at dinner I had a salad w/ salmon but I did have some frozen yogurt for dessert. Needless to say after 2 pretty bad days I was nervous to weigh in so I chickened out. But I decided I need to face the music and got on the scale this morning...I'm actually down 1.2lbs! I don't know HOW I managed that or maybe my scale is just lying to me haha.

This week I'm planning to be completely OP and my goal is to eat less than half of my WP.

I needed an intervention last night. Pistachios got me. They took a long time to eat, what with shelling and everything. So, I guess that was good. I was reminded of Abby of NCIS. Pistachios are addictive.

I'm drinking a lot of water today to try to get rid of the salt. My WI is tomorrow. I think it will be an up week. I'm being good today -- of course, it's only noon.

That's pretty good for 2 weeks!!! Hope I can say that in August!!!!

Checking in after today's weigh-in ...

... stayed EXACTLY the same. I always question that - I find it so hard to believe that there can be no change (up or down). This is the third time in thirteen weeks that I've stayed the same.

I'd be fibbing if I said I wasn't disappointed. I had a good week - followed the plan, made good choices - was hoping to see a loss. I am "thisclose" to the 20 pound mark, and thought I would reach it this morning.

But - I am focused and hope I will see the results at next week's weigh-in .

These are my stats so far:

Week 1: -3
Week 2: stayed the same
Week 3: -4
Week 4: -2.4
Week 5: -.8
Week 6: stayed the same
Week 7: -2 (SFT)
Week 8: -2.2 (SFT)
Week 9: -1.2
Week 10: used NWI pass
Week 11: -.6
Week 12: -2.6
Week 13: stayed the same

Total: Down 18.8

I would love to do the Simply Filling Technique again this week, but have a few days where it just wouldn't work. Maybe next week.

Hope all of you Tuesday weighers had a good weigh-in .

I think I'm really to join. I have 80 pounds that I would like to lose. How much is the cost. If I join online can I go to a meeting and get materials at the same time? What is the general cost?

I joined online Sunday night - it cost $19.95 for the first month and then each month after is $39.95. Then I went to a meeting on Monday- handed them my pass and preregistration forms and was good to go. They then gave me all of the materials.

If you don't join online before you go - there is a lot of paperwork to fill out there so I really reccomend signing up online first.

Laura,

I stayed the same I think for 4 weeks. I mean exactly the same weight. Mine was during holidays so although frustrating was happy it wasn't a gain that time of year. Hang in there you'll break through it.

Just wanted to say welcome!! Good luck and let us know how your first meeting goes.

WW weigh-in is tomorrow. Not too sure what it will bring. Weighed in yesterday for my at-work challenge and gained .2 Not too much. This is the last week of our challenge. It was supposed to inspire us to lose over 10lbs in 10 weeks. I have lost a grand total of 3.2lbs so far. It's not looking good for winning that $$ At least the scale went down though and for that I am grateful.

I have upped my walking goal. At least 15000 steps a day. Once the warm weather arrives I'll up it again.

Thanks everyone for all the great recipies you share and the support, it really helps!

I just sat down and finished putting in my points for the day...I had been tracking them all day but just added dinner...

Today I have had...
Breakfast
Mini Bagel with WW Cream Cheese for Breakfast (I am not a breakfast eater so that was huge for me to even eat!!)

Lunch: went out with my mom to what was supposed to be Chick-Fil-A and b/c of my picky 4 year old nephew ended up at Culvers - where I chose not to order but did end up eating half of aforementioned nephews burger b/c it turned out he didn't want that either. I didn't eat the bread and had checked the points on my phone to make sure it wouldn't kill my points for the day - turns out without the bread I was only using 4 points - I took 5 b/c I did eat ONE french fry off my DDs plate)

Snack: As soon as I got home - I had some veggies, salsa and chips.

Dinner: As I made dinner I snacked on veggies and then had dinner with more veggies. I made a chicken/pasta dish that was 8 points.

Then I had some cool whip light (and was sad to find out that it is one point now)

I'm full - I have met all the suggestions but still have SEVEN of my 29 points left. I am going to go have a glass of milk. Which will leave 5 extra...

So my question is this: our leader was very adamant that we eat all our points and at most should have 1 or 2 left over. I could have one more snack before I went to bed but do I need to? Or is 5 points under close enough? I know on the old plan you just didn't use the points but she has me scared that if I don't use them then I will mess up my weight loss...any thoughts?

I had WI today. Got my first 5lb star.

Stephanie,


I can feel your pain with the snoring husband - my DH works third shift, so I sleep alone 5 nights a week and it is so peaceful - on the 2 nights that he is home, I toss all night long because of his snoring - some nights I just sleep on the couch , I actually sleep better there, than in bed!

Me too, sent him to the sleep clinic, now he has a machine and we both sleep better.

I just rejoined WW and went to my first meeting tonight. The leader stressd the same thing over & over throughout the meeting. Since the program has been modified a bit since last time I joined, I'm assuming it is something they are stressing as part of the Points Plus system. She was also adament that if you don't eat them all, the weight loss will be very inconsistent.

I've never really followed the plan to the letter, but this time I am really going to try. In my case, not following it the right way has only led to a return of bad habits.

Good luck in your efforts!!

Ugh. My DS is 18 months old. I'm ashamed to say I still haven't lost the baby weight. It's tough and I have a million reasons why I haven't. However, bottom line, I haven't worked at it. The first time I did WW pre-pregnancy I did great. These last two tries have been terrible because I am not honest with the points. I want to lose quite a bit - back to my high school weight. Let's just say that's a lot. I need lots of motivation and support.

What are your best tips? What are some easy low points snacks? What about some easy low point meals? How do you working moms squeeze in time for exercise?

 

[GoofyMomInOhio]

I had my weigh-in yesterday and....stayed the same. No loss or gain?? I'm kinda relieved to see that others have been in the same boat. I would have liked to see a loss since we leave for Disney in 3 days and I'm sure it will be up when we get home. It seems like I retain alot of water when we go on long car trips. Anyone know if drinking more water during the trip will help? Although then it will probably take longer since we'll have to stop more....

You MUST eat all your weekly points. They are there for you to eat and the program is designed for you to lose weight based on those numbers. My suggestion is always if you don't want more food choose food with slightly higher points (2% milk instead of skim, nuts, reg. cheese......). If you are exercising a lot and earning activity points you really should be eating some of those as well.

Great Job!!!!!

Me too, sent him to the sleep clinic, now he has a machine and we both sleep better.

Yea, I made him have a sleep study many years ago. They said it wasn't apnea he doesn't have any of the usual symptoms they said like being overweight, throat or nose issues. Oh, well I just elbow him all night

Welcome back to WW!! As the saying goes Track ONLY the days you want to lose . If you follow this key tip you will do great. Good luck.

Yes, very frustrating to see no movement on the scale. Not that a gain would be good but seeing the same number week after week is hard. However, let this be the fuel to your fire. Make sure you are mixing it up. Eat different foods. Choose a different exercise routine. I do believe being in a car for a long time you will retain water, at least for me. I try to limit my water when driving on a long trip cause we will be stopping at the bathroom every 5 minutes. My water goes right through me.


Good luck to all our Wednesday weigh ins!

Welcome to the thread . Thanks for the snack tip. I haven't seen these yet but love the WW pretzel chocolate bars. I will have to look for them.

Morning All!

Just wanted to say hi. Just did 45 min. n the treadmill so I feel like I am doing good so far this week. Hoping the scale thinks so too!

What I have been doing the last couple weeks is watching the TV series Brothers and Sisters on my IPAD via Netflix streaming. Each episode is 42 minutes, so every day I watch one episode while I workout. It makes the time fly and is a great soap opera for adults. Get a guilty pleasure while earning some points!

Have a great day!
