WW Weekly Weigh In--- Part 2

[cepmom]

Today was weigh in day for me. 7.4 LBS DOWN!!!! Granted I know that is not an average weight loss, and it really was 10 days from my first weigh in but boy did it feel good. It feels even better to see my ticker with that bar moving instead of standing at 0 lbs lost.

That's awesome!!!!! Keep up the good work!

Well I went and weighed in today, and I've lost 1.2 lbs this week, which brings my grand total to 41.2 lbs.

I'll be at WDW this weekend, so I'll see how I do! (I'll just try to duck under any food that gets thrown at me )

Thanks for all the kind words after the incident with my co-worker (what's worse is she's the VP of my dept.). I've decided to sluff it off, and move forward, if it was malicious then I don't know what to think, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for the moment and think that she must have meant she didn't think I had a lot to lose in the first place.

Congrats to all who lost this week and my whole hearted encouragement to anyone who gained this week, don't give up!

great job!! Good luck in WDW...we're going in August and I'm already nervous about eating there!

I was down 0.6 this week. Not a huge loss, but I'll take any loss!!

That puts my total at 6.8 lbs lost since 5/1

Congrats to everyone on their excellent weigh-ins

you're doing great!!!! Keep it up

Cepmom- Hugs to you on your gain this week. We all have our ups and downs, and you will be able to get right back on program and lose that gain. It is such a game we play with the scale. I have that pattern, if I see a loss on a week that I wasn't really that good, then the next week, I'm a little worse, thinking I got away with eating the junk the week before, and then it's a big gain. I have been going up and down with the same 5 pounds for about a year now, and know where you're coming from. Hang in there. You can do it. You look awesome in your pics on the picture thread, and the last few pounds are always the hardest to come off. Keep up the great work.


As for me this week, I am still doing core, but did go away for the weekend again and did not track my non core foods, but got right back on tuesday, and am down .8 today. I think the healthier foods on core are really making a difference, and I'm not snacking as much. I don't feel deprived at all. I have no plans for the next 3 weeks, so I am committing to following core faithfully, and keeping track of my 35 flex points, and I hope to break through this long plateau. I have .6 to lose to hit the lowest I have been in at least 7 years. I'm gonna do it this time!!

Keep up the great work everyone!! We can do this!!

thanks Mikamah. One of these days I will get it that the indulging will always catch up with me eventually

great job on your loss this week...pretty good after your weekend of not tracking! You can get to your lowest next week....I know it!

I thought you guys would like that... I know I found it hiLAriouS!!

I have yet to try core. I don't know if I have the self control to limit my intake of the "other" foods that aren't on the core list.

I have 0.4 to go to be the lowest I've been in at least 10 years, so I am right there with you.

Unfortunately, yesterday I had a HORRIBLE day at work, ended up going out for dinner and ate my self sick on fajitas and queso at my favorite Tex-Mex place. Oh, well, like you said... I am back on track today. The only other "risky" situation I have this weekend is my niece's high school graduation party (pizza & cake) so I don't know how I will do there, but I will try to plan and imagine myself NOT eating the cake!!!

Have a great Weekend!

Ms. H

Ughhhhh....don't you hate it when that happens? Today's a new day and you'll get to your lowest next week too!

welp...good ole memorial day did me in this week! i am up 1 today..but hey, i was up 4 on monday from all that crazy picnic food so i am not upset at all..back on the wagon and looking for a loss next week
have a great weekend everyone!

for your gain this week....like me, at least you know what happened. This is a new week...back on track towards a loss next week!


Still doing well getting "back on track". Journaling everything and did another full workout yesterday

SIL and the kids came by yesterday to see DD off to the prom so we ordered pizza. I did well and ate a big salad first then a small turkey meatball sandwich (3 points). When I finally was putting the leftover pizza away, I caved and ate a piece of pepper and onion, BUT I wrote it down and counted the points (had to use flex points for that as I was done with my daily points by that time)

I am going to a baby shower brunch this morning where I know there will be very few healthy choices, then to a 1st birthday party this afternoon Please wish me luck and pray for me!! I'm gonna need it!

 

[Mary Anne]

Cepmom -- good luck to you today. You know just eat a normal taste of everything and have a big bottle of whater with you. If you're drinking water you are not making bad choices right?

I've started the online journaling and I think I like it. I'm a semi techie person so I'm hoping it will continue to keep me on track. I do have my paper journals *just in case* I'm glad I signed up for the full monthly pass.

Have a great WW day all.

My SIL uses the online journaling and loves it too. We both have the monthly pass with the online access but I also have three kids and my computer is usually tied up with one of them. I'm a stickler for righting everything down before I put it in my mouth. I hope the online version works for you. Good luck with it.

Ok I need to share this with my WW friends. I'm food bod shopping and reading labels and making good choices for the coming week to make sure I have proper foods to keep me on track. So I decide I need some Balsamic Vinegar. When the heck did buying a bottle of wine vinegar turn into a trip into the liquor store and deciding against 40 different types of wine

Now let me tell you I may live in NYC but I live is a small Queens neighborhood. Our shopping area is a KeyFood. Not even a good Key Food but they do have a great WW food section Get this -- they must have had 15 different types of wine/balsamic vinegar I could not believe it. I ended up with two bottles - the High end stuff for home :lol and a lower end for the office. I'm a nice person but not that nice to all my co-employees who I know are going to borrow :lol

So that decision made, I get to the cash register to pay and I know I took $100 out to do my food shopping, plus I have about $15 on me. I already spent $10 in the butcher for chicken and veal cutlets (4 chicken - 4 veal in case anyone is wondering). So I'm watching the register ring up and it hits $102 (I buy for 4 -- 3 OF WHICH ARE MEN THAT eat!) 56, soon to be 20 and a 17 year old -- did I mention the last two like to eat. not an ounce of fat on any of them I go to open my wallet and all that are there are the few singles left over from my trip to the butcher. OK so no my shopping cart (I do not drive) is full to the top and I've got about $5.00 left to pay a $102 dollar shopping bill (OK not so moment). Anyway, I say to the manager. I'll be right back, I forgot my money home (at least I hope I left it home - holy it better be there) and I went home. Now the purpose of this little saga my WW friends it to show how I turned my moment into a WW 20 minute power walk and got some exercise in.

And so goes my interesting morning... can't you all wait to read about my afternoon

[tiggerlover]

I've got a theory about rude people and weight loss. I really believe people don't know how to deal with other peoples changing images because they are afraid of the new person. Let's face it once you start losing weight and feeling better about yourself people become afraid of you and tell you you've changed. Yes you have, but it's the same you you're just smiling more becaue you're happy with yourself. Just smile and keep moving.

Today was weigh in day for me. 7.4 LBS DOWN!!!! Granted I know that is not an average weight loss, and it really was 10 days from my first weigh in but boy did it feel good. It feels even better to see my ticker with that bar moving instead of standing at 0 lbs lost.

Mary Ann, Fabulous!!!That is an awesome loss for 10 days, I am sure that feels wonderful! I love your theory, and your quote......just smile and keep moving!

What a journey to the food store! You didn't say, but I hope you found your money when you got home, and what a way to get your exercise!!! I love balsamic vinegar, I love the Italian kind and eat it with a little olive oil, salt and pepper on my salads....yummy!

ScuttleMeTimbers, nice loss for the week!!! Good for you for moving forward with your co-worker, like Maryann so nicely said, smile and keep moving.

memy26, not a huge loss, but more than half of a pound.....that isn't bad at all.

Thanks, Mik, I can always count on you to lift me up!


{{{{HUGS}}}} MA pigletfan, I have been in that spot before, it is back OP and one step forward again. Onward and downward!!!


cepmom, positive vibes your way to help you through two difficult events. What is it with pizza, I could go without it no problem but the minute it is in the house for someone I feel like I have to eat it! I just love the stuff. Had two pieces last night and found I wanted to eat DS's scraps on his plate....I finally just had to toss it and walk away.

Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend, it is absolutely gorgeous here. Worked in the garden for several hours and now I am beat, so I am off to have a rest.

Hehehehe!! I could SOOO imagine something like this happening to me... My DH always says I have the attention span of a gnat... I tend to forget things...

What was I talking about...????

Well have a good week anyway!

You are doing great on Core. You must now be well below your goal weight. Great job!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to my niece's birthday party this afternoon. My sister always has a huge spread of food sort of buffet style. I just ate a bowl of cerael to try to curb my hunger before getting there. Wish me luck because I think I'm going to need it.

 

[Mary Anne]

Grumpy's Wife, Just keep thinking, nothing taste as good as skinny feels.

Yes, my money was home --- on the table where I left it. I blame my short attention span on menopause.

We've just decided to add the dinning plan to 3 of our nights at Disney However, I think I shall be OK as there are 4 of us and we only need to buy the plan for 3. More then enough food to feed us all, and I will just order out of pocket and buy my own dinner. I do not need the desert and if I want something, I can have a taste of the other three. Counter service 3 will easily feed 4 and one of those three will have fruit or carrots as the side instead of fries. It's truly not a save $$ thing more of a keep on the WW plan thing. Anyway that is my plan of attack. The scale will be the judge

Core really seems to be the answer for me right now. I am just about 5 pounds under my goal weight, I think I am shy by .6. I had gained almost 3 pounds and was scared about the 2 pound leeway you have when you are at goal and that is what prompted me to try Core. I had been trying for the whole year that I had been lifetime to get 5 pounds under goal and couldn't do it on flex. Now that I am just about there I will probably level off and stop losing....I just wanted the cushion.

How did you make out at your niece's party? I hope there were some healthy choices for you or that you were able to bring something healthy with you. Social gatherings are always the hardest!

Mary Anne, so glad your money was on the table, what a relief that must have been.

 

[Ms. Heimlich]

crap crap crappitty crap crap crap.

I just got back from my niece's graduation party.

I DIDN'T avoid the cake. As a matter of fact, I ate my whole piece AND a brownie. Plus 4 pieces of pizza. Oh, and a salad.

WHY???? Why can't I leave food alone? Why can't I be in the room with food (ANY FOOD) and NOT eat it????? I am so disgusted with myself.

I was having a good week, too.

UGH.

I suppose I will just have to start over.... AGAIN. Tomorrow.

There's always tomorrow? Right?

Yep, NOTHING tastes as good as skinny feels! Words that should be placed on a fridge to stop me from going in when I think I'm hungry!!

Mary Anne: Don't feel bad about adding the dinning plan for your trip. You get off lucky.......I have the DxDP for our trip in December! Yep, that means breakfast buffets EVERY morning and TS every night! I don't think I can figure the points out for all that food! But, at least at breakfast, I can load up on my fruit and use my snack credits for fruit and water (though, I'm saving one credit for a dole whip and one for a Mickey bar .... ). I plan on staying on program as much as possible, but vacation is part of life, and a treat now and then is OK too. We are learning how to eat for the rest of our lives and treats are part of life. You sound like you have good plan of action, and that is exactly what you need! Keep up the great work!

Well, tomorrow is another day!!! Just think, if you were not doing WW how much more would you have eaten??? Probably more, and then some...I know I would! Tomorrow, pick up that good week as if nothing happened.

You are so right, there is always tomorrow!

You can't leave food alone like everyone here on this thread, we are foodies as I like to call it. We are similar to alcoholics, but our addition is food. We just have to go through our days making the best possible choices that we can and when we hit a speed bump, we get right back to it and keep going on our journey.

I could have posted this too. I blew it yesterday
I did okay at the shower...not too many healthy choices but I did my best and had salad a small piece of spiral ham and a small scoop (really small)each of the cheesy potatoes and french toast casserole (sooooo good). I also munched on crackers and cheese. I also had some sort of punch with brandy in it.

At the birthday party I had salad and a small amount of pasta salad, crackers and dip.

I kept my water with me and drank as much as I could. Since I had no idea how many points this all added up to I went with the assumption that all my flex points were gone for the week.

I had to work at 5 and when I got home at 10 I was starving. So, instead of going to bed, I binged. Big time. Ugggg...I am so mad at myself.

Why do we do this to ourselves????? ANd I had been doing really well too. Crud.

 

[Ms. Heimlich]

Thanks for all the kind words... It really does help.

I wish I was an alcoholic.


okay. Not really, but... Maybe then I'd be able to walk away from my addiction without touching it again.

Food is so hard b/c it's EVERYWHERE. It's readily accessible. It's cheap. You can buy it 24 hours a day 7 days a week. There is no age restriction. etc. etc. etc.

I cannot live without what putting into my body the thing I am addicted too. I have to learn to manage it.

That Alone has been the most difficult thing to manage on my whole journey.

it helps to know i'm not alone.

 

[Mary Anne]

Ms. Heimlich -- do not beat yourself up too much. I'm strong, because I am starting the journey -- again!

Cepmom -- you know I had a WW leader that once said, the more we stay on plan when we are out, the bigger we "binge" when we get home or the next day. I have been guilty of that on more then one occassion. The last being a 10 year binge.

 

[toledo13]

2.8 lbs this week!!!!!! This was my 2nd week on core, and working out with "Walk Away the Pounds". But I had a cold for 2 of the days and didn't work out... but I stuck with my Core plan, so it worked out for me! I haven't been eating all of the extra 35 points. The first week I think I only ate 11 of them, but this past week I was up in the 20's (went to a wedding...). Still going strong!

way to go! sounds like Core is working well for you! Keep it up!

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Grumpy's Wife, Just keep thinking, nothing taste as good as skinny feels.

I love that saying. I have a stainless steel refrigerator and magnets don't stick to it but I'm really tempted to put that saying on my pantry door. That's mainly where I do the most damage anyway.

How did you make out at your niece's party? I hope there were some healthy choices for you or that you were able to bring something healthy with you. Social gatherings are always the hardest!

I did really well. They BBQ'd burgers and hot dogs and she had the fat free ones for us (she is doing WW too) and the low calories buns so I was able to enjoy the same food as everyone else. I didn't eat cake or any other snacks and tried to drink lots of water. The first thing I did when I got home was go straight to the freezer and have a skinny cow ice cream sandwich. I needed a little fix of my own.

2.8 pounds is awesome. You had a great week. Keep it up. I usually weigh in on Wednesday and so far my scale has not moved this week. I really need to boost up my exercise and water.

Ms. Heimlich don't beat yourself up. We all have days like you just had. Today is a new day. Good luck.
