I found this quote last night - I thought it applies to our weight loss journey!


Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the voice at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow!

Just wanted to share what I had for lunch today...it was really yummy and filling and only 8pp!

Made it with some leftover chicken breasts from the other night and some veggies and cheese we had in the fridge.

-4oz chicken breast cut up (4pp)
-1/3 cup fat free shredded mozzarella cheese (1pp)
-a couple of sliced cherry tomatoes (0pp)
-approx. 1/4 cup frozen spinach (0pp)
-1tbsp light caesar dressing (1pp)
-Low carb wrap (2pp)

I sliced the chicken breasts and tomatoes and tossed them in a saute pan with a little bit of frozen spinach on medium heat until everything was hot...once everything was hot I stirred everything around in the pan with about 1tbsp of light caesar dressing.
Once that was done I took everything out of the pan and wiped it clean, then put it back on the heat and put the low carb wrap in the pan and put the cheese in the wrap. Once the cheese was melted I took it out of the pan, put the chicken/veggies inside. Mmmm it was really good! I had it with a side of some leftover asparagus. Hope this might give someone a new food idea!

Awesome! I love new recipes...especially ones I can take to work for lunch! Can't wait to try this out.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the voice at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow!

The quote at my WW meeting on Thursday was "There is no failures in WW, only feedback." Which is so true! If you are not being honest with your tracking, you're not being honest with yourself right? Tracking=Success! Keep up the great work this week everyone! I didn't do well tonight so my goal tomorrow is to stay on plan, eat at home (hard to do on the weekends) and include some kind of activity!

At WI this morning, I lost 1 pound...which was shocking considering yesterday (as a scale stalker), I'd GAINED a pound. Two pounds overnight?? Just goes to show how our bodies process different foods, I guess.

The 1 pound loss put me at my 10% goal, and I am thrilled!! Nine weeks into WW, and I feel as though I've really made a lifestyle change in how I eat and think about food. Sure, I'd love to Dairy Queen and Burger King fries, but seeing success on the scales keeps me motivated not to pull into the drive-thru, continue packing lunch every day and making creative, healthy suppers each night.

SO...I set another goal today of ten more pounds. For now, I'm celebrating the 10% loss.

Congratulations to everyone this week -- whether losing, maintaining, getting back in the saddle, or signing up and making a change! Have a GREAT weekend!

WAY TO GO!!!! What a great accomplishment - setting small goals is the way to go! You can be proud of the changes you have made (PS - I had a few McDonald's fries last night and they tasted terrible - funny thing was, the apple dippers tasted better to me )

i'm behind on this thread again, but wanted to share my good news of down 0.4 today! 4.6 pounds until i'm not considered overweight anymore!

I hope to catch up soon, still light years behind on the dis since returning from our trip.

hi all
this thread is moving so fast, i can not keep up with it!! Welcome to the the newbies and congrats to those losing this week!'

i weighed this morning and am down 3 lbs since last thursday...still up a couple lbs from my last official weigh in at a meeting but it will come. I couldn't get to my meeting again this week;i had a new meeting to work at yesterday and next thursday but i am going to try and get back to one asap. Thought about going to one this morning, but i decided to go to the gym instead. I ran 6 miles today! That's a record for me. Yesterday i signed up for a 10k in june, so i figured i better get going on being able to accomplish that

have a great week!

down 2.2 last night. That was for 2 weeks though because i couldn't go last eek. Also joined the first strides walk/run program on tuesday ight to motivate me to get going! Since jnuary 1 i have lost 25 pounds.

at wi this morning, i lost 1 pound...which was shocking considering yesterday (as a scale stalker), i'd gained a pound. Two pounds overnight?? Just goes to show how our bodies process different foods, i guess.

great job losers!!!!

 

[sjms71]

Just popping in to say ... Yes, a miracle happened. I lost 2.4 lbs this week . Just goes to show you that you really shouldn't get on the scale every day because yesterday's number was just as likely to make me throw in the towel for the week instead of sticking with it. In any case, I am now at my lowest weight in a couple of years and I am still within reach of my goal of a 5lb star by my birthday next month .

You go Girl, that is awesome!! What a great present to yourself another 5lbs star. You can do it .

Woohoo I lost elephant genitals Thanks Tammy now I will have that image in my head all weekend

 

[dthogue]

Stephanie,

I thought that was hilarious too! What an image

 

[dthogue]

Back from weigh-in - this was my 16th week, so I received the lovely charm! I was down 3.4 pounds for a total of 36.4!!!

I continued my 1/2 marathon training this morning and ran 3.1 miles. Tomorrow is my first "long run" day - I am scheduled to ran 4 miles - wish me luck!

Have a great Saturday! Hoping to stay on program today - no binge eating this afternoon, I can do this, I WILL do this!

 

[eaj1228]

Yippee!! Today was my 12th weigh in since starting the program January 1. I have lost every week so far. This is my fourth time on WW and I really feel I will finally make goal this time. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will make my goal by my Disney trip in November.

Those were some really interesting stats dthogue. Right now I have lost an automobile tire. I really want to get to that elephant heart mark though.

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

WI last night and was actuakky down .6 Nice, considering I was in WDW for 5 days last week!

Just back from weigh in with the official damage from 2 weeks at Disney. The bad news is I didn't fair as well as some others just back . The good news (I guess) is I am up 3lbs. I say good cause I feel I really ate this time and it seemed we didn't do as much walking as in September so thought it would be way worse. Good luck to all other weigh ins today!!!

Three pounds in 2 Disney weeks including DDP??? Are you kidding me?! is all I can say!

I am dreading tomorrow's weigh in. I was up .4 last week *sigh* so I decided to get serious. I have been on target for my points this week and I have started working out more. I started week 1 of C25K *again* (it's spring, LOL!) and I also did my EA Active Wii game twice. I WI tomorrow and I have 1 weekly point left and all 10 AP. BUT my scale at home is UP from last week. So frustrating!!! I'm hoping for a miracle here .

Weight Watchers and the Running Room are having it's second annual 5K 'Walk it' event in June. The training begins April 3rd...I think I may sign up for that. I'd like to do a marathon at some point and this might be a good place to start.

Sorry to hear about the snow - I am so ready for spring to come and STAY! Congrats on the loss - I hope we get new scales soon too! Is your meeting computerized as well?

I'm a daily scale stepper too - I only get on once a day and always at the same time (right before I exercise in the AM). I had read once that people for lose weight and succussfully keep it off weigh themselves daily - it keeps them accountable.

Our meeting rooms are not computerized but I hope to see that happen in my lifetime.

I was using the scale for accountability but sometimes it was just too frustrating to be on track, follow the plan and watch the scale go up or not move at all. I haven't been on yet this week either but the temptation is very strong.

So glad there is a thread with fellow WWs! I am a newbie to DIS and love it so far...even better now that I found this thread. I go tonight and am hoping to finally meet my 10% mark. I've been doing WW since 12/2. My next Disney trip is planned for 5/3-5/8 and we have DDP! I will not be counting points at WDW (aren't all the foods there zero points?) but am already dreading the return weigh in. Hopefully I will counteract some of the gain that I anticipate with all the walking, swimming and fun!

Welcome to the DIS! Hope you achieved your 10%.

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Had my WI this morning. Lost 1.2 lbs !! For lunch today we went out for Chinese food. I tried to be good and got chicken with vegetables. I ate a lot of pork fried rice though. Good thing I started over today with my weekly points!

Way to go!!! Nice loss.

No, I sure didn't! But I did hope to be lighter than I am now .

In all seriousness, you guys keep me on track and motivated. Even though I have not seen a 5-lb star since (I hate to type this) AUGUST I keep at it. For those of you gasping in horror ... I gained a lot on my two WDW trips and I take off weight very, very slowly. If I lose more than 2 pounds in a MONTH it's a success for me. I will be SO GOOD at maintenance ... if I ever get there .

Lifetime will happen for you, Robin. Just keep your eyes on the prize!

I made 10% tonight! It was right on the nose though...all I needed was .6 loss and that's exactly what I had. I find the key is really tracking everything! I need to try to move away from the processed foods though. It's just so easy to grab a Smart Ones dinner to take to work. I'm not a salad lover and I get tired of sandwiches. I need to find some tasty lunch ideas!

Congratulations!!

Sometimes I just cook a few extra breasts of chicken and throw them in the freezer to have for lunch sometimes. I just add some of the leftover veggies from supper the night before and maybe a yogurt for dessert or some fruit. It's easy and points wise, it's cheap!



Way to go everyone!!

I WI Wednesday night....I only lost 1 lb for a total of 7.2 lbs in three weeks. I knew it was going to be tough because looking at the fj I see eating out too many times.

What do you mean, ONLY??! One pound is huge!

Well, I thank you for starting this. This thread has been a life saver for me more than a few times. I figure we're going to need this thread to go on for the rest of my life -- and I'm hopeful I'll have a nice, long, healthy weight life.

I'm with you on this one.

That's a whole other story . Ever since I turned 40 last year - it is all over the place - no rhyme or reason.


- Laura

I feel your pain, Laura!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

Hello all,

I am fairly new to DIS, I've been posting for a few weeks now. And I joined WW online 1 week ago so you can imagine how happy I was to find this thread today!

I have done WW before (2008) and i was doing really well. I had lost about 40lbs and was really motivated, even starting to add exercise into my daily routine. That was all derailed when my father died suddenly and at the same time a bunch of other really stressful things were happening. I slowly started to gain back a few pounds here and there but not too bad. I wasn't following WW but I was still exercising so it was only a few pounds. I stayed there for a while until I broke my foot and couldn't exercise anymore. I never got back to my heaviest weight, thank goodness, but I was getting too close for my comfort. So I'm back on WW. I lost 5.5lbs the first week so I'm feeling good!

I've been saying I want to get back on track for a while but couldn't seem to get myself motivated. Well, planning this trip to Disney was just the thing. I want to feel comfortable being in pictures with my kids and looking like I was actually on the vacation But really, I want to feel better about myself and show my kids how to eat healthy and keep exercise and activity important in their lives so they never have to feel uncomfortable in their skin the way that I do sometimes. I'm hoping for a total loss of 20lbs before we go in July.


I'm looking forward to being a part of this group!

Welcome to the thread! I'm glad to hear that you're being successful on WW. Hope you reach your 20lb goal by July!

Second (mine is on Tuesday so I hear ya on the the food and cake)
/QUOTE]

Mine is the following week . I want red velvet cake for my birthday which I'm going to have to make myself and I'm considering pizza for dinner but that's going to be lots of points!

Weigh in this morning... down .4 I'll take it!... I am very relaxed with tracking points on weekends so my goal for this weekend is to track everything!!! Happy Friday... wish it was warmer! Stupid Groundhog! At least the sun is shining...

Congratulations on your loss! Happy tracking.

I'm behind on this thread AGAIN, but wanted to share my good news of down 0.4 today! 4.6 pounds until I'm not considered overweight anymore!

Nice accomplishment! Congrats on your loss.

I weighed this morning and am down 3 lbs since last Thursday...still up a couple lbs from my last official weigh in at a meeting but it will come. I couldn't get to my meeting again this week;I had a new meeting to work at yesterday and next Thursday but I am going to try and get back to one ASAP. Thought about going to one this morning, but I decided to go to the gym instead. I ran 6 miles today! That's a record for me. Yesterday I signed up for a 10K in June, so I figured I better get going on being able to accomplish that

Wow -- 3lbs! Congratulations! 6 miles is awesome!!

*Waves* I'm not new to the DIS but I am new to WW!

My husband and I joined WW 5 weeks ago and up until the 4-week mark I was down 9.6! Then we went on vacation during spring break last week and I gained a pound I'm not upset about it because we had a very fun time and I did eat off points.

But we went back this past Tuesday and now I'm back on track! We try to eat at home or pack lunches for work and I've been very successful! I love to cook and it's fun trying to make our favorite foods into healthier versions! It's hard to let go of the butter and cream but I've been using cooking sprays and half and half instead of cream.

My husband hasn't been as successful because he's just not used to the work it takes to prepare your meals ahead of time. He's a paramedic and is in an ambulance all day. he would eat take out/fast food all teh time and now he finds it difficult to resist the temptation of his partner eating mcDonalds, lol. He was down 6lbs at the 4 week mark but gained 2 during spring break while we were on vacation. He's not discouraged, he told our WW leader that he had a great time, and it showed on the scale

Sorry for the long winded intro! I'm excited to have more accountability by coming here and talking about my food journal and successes My 5% goal is to lose 13.6lbs and I'm almost there!

Welcome!

Down 2.2 last night. That was for 2 weeks though because I couldn't go last eek. Also joined the First Strides walk/run program on Tuesday ight to motivate me to get going! Since Jnuary 1 I have lost 25 pounds.

Congratulations on you loss! Good work!

Just popping in to say ... Yes, a miracle happened. I lost 2.4 lbs this week . Just goes to show you that you really shouldn't get on the scale every day because yesterday's number was just as likely to make me throw in the towel for the week instead of sticking with it. In any case, I am now at my lowest weight in a couple of years and I am still within reach of my goal of a 5lb star by my birthday next month .

Oh, Robin! How wonderful! I'm so happy for you and I just cant imagine how you must feel!

Just found this thread and I'm in need of some motivation from people who are following WW like me. At my last week weigh in I had gained 1.5 after walking 10,000 to 14,000 steps every day - I was totally thrown off and got discouraged. Which led me to a totally bad week of eating. I've pulled it together and started up again today and making sure I'm counting and logging all of my points.

Looking forward to being part of this thread and hopefully next week I can post a loss!

Welcome to the tread!
