WI day is today, but we had chinese last night, and I can't even get my rings on today. So, I'm weighing in tomorrow, and working on the water thing today...

Right now...such a puff

 

[Pei4ever]

WI was tonight, down another pound. Hope everyone has a good week and remembers to take care of themselves emotionally as well as physically---I have to remind myself of that.......sometimes I can be too hard on myself

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

It all started with eating just one piece of candy on Halloween, then two and well I guess you all know the rest. I'm having a hard time getting back on track. I will definitely have a gain tomorrow for my weigh in. It's the mind set that I have to get back and stay focused. I need to just take the gain and move past it. Tomorrow is another day right? Hopefully next week I will have lost whatever I gained this week and keep heading downward. Ok, mini rant over and now I feel better.

Congrats to all the losers this week.

Hi All! I have been having a hectic week but I see that there have been some ups and downs here. I think it is a trend because I have had challenge after challenge this week and did not rise to any of them. Grumpy's Wife said it best....it started with one piece.....

Well, you are all inspirations to me because I was almost ready to keep giving in to the Hershey's and the Swedish Fish but not now!

I missed my WI last night because I was watching a baby but it was probably a blessing. Hopefully I will be able to stay OP this week and at least break even by next Monday.

Have a great week all!

hi everyone
I am up about 5 lbs since my last weigh in. My Dad passed away last Wednesday and I have really not been on program since then I just haven't felt like trying

I missed last weeks meeting so I am hoping to be able to get here this morning to get that extra support I need right now.(I need to make Dr appt for DD who has an ear ache...I hope it is for later so I can get to my regular meeting at 10:00)I really need to get my head back on straight today!

I am so sorry for your loss There are no words to describe that feeling you have and it will take time to find the way to fill it. Just do the best you can with your choices, the rest will fall into place. I hope that your DD is okay and will feel better soon.

I'm so sorry for your loss. And for your guilt about gaining. I'm putting on my leader hat right now (in case you miss your weekly meeting )When we make out a winning outcome one of the criteria is that it is a good fit with your life. Sometimes when we are going through a terrible loss, losing weight is not a good fit with our life. Perhaps it might be time for you to revise your winning outcome so you don't feel like a failure in addition to mourning. Perhaps making a goal of walking outside for an hour every day (this is very good for the psyche) could be a better fit than saying you are going to lose a bunch of weight. And it can help you at least maintain your current losses.

Just a note of caution that trying to lose 2 lbs a week when it isn't time to lose 2 lbs a week sets you up for feeling like a failure and perhaps weight gain. Please don't fall into this trap!

BIG OLE HUGS!!!!!

cepmom I'm so sorry for your loss. It's perfectly understandable that you've gone to food for comfort. I think we've all done that before. You have accomplished so much and come so far on weight watchers. I know you can and will get through this difficult time and we are all here to help you along the way.

Today's my birthday and I had the nicest gift at my weigh in today. I loss .8 lbs. I went with the expectation of a gain of a pound or two. I posted that I caved in on Halloween and have been trying to regain that focus I seemed to have lost. I've been floating away on all the water I've been drinking so I guess that helped.

Hugs to everyone who needs it this week and downward we all go on the scale together.

I am so, so sorry for the loss of your dad. Although the scale is up, do not stress over it now, you are going through a very difficult time and it is hard to focus on weight loss during a time like this. When my dad passed away it was difficult and I struggled for some weeks, but eventually I found my way back to OP.

Good for you! Sometimes when we think we are being "bad" we really aren't being that bad. The important thing is you recognized you indulged a little and you got right back at it, that is what living this for life is all about.

Happy Birthday Grumpy's Wife

 

[mom2faith]

Hi ladies,

I am hoping I can join in for some extra support. I started WW for the second time on Oct 14, 2008. I started a WISH Journal full of details, but here is a run down:

• Goal 145 lbs - 75 lbs lost
• Walk to Cinderella's Castle (4000 km)
• Excersize 3 times/ week: Yoga, Aqua fit and walking with family
• Staying OP each and every day
• Weight loss goal reached before next trip to the World - Sept 2009

I am 32 years old, have 1 DD who is almost 4, a wonderful DH who does all the cooking and is quickly learning about "points", I work Full Time out of the home at an office job where I get little movement in, hmm...what else can I tell you? I currently am recovering from another bout of Strep Throat which I get every 4 months or so as I wait to have a tonsillectomy (*cue poor me violin music ). DH, DD and I LOVED our first trip to the world and cannot wait to return!!

Well, I look forward to getting to know all of you!!

Amy

PS My weigh in day is Monday morning - I am doing WW online, and Mondays keep me honest over the weekend ; I have lost nearly 7 lbs in the 3 weeks I have done WW, and look forward to losing much more!!

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Hi mom2faith and

. You will love this thread. There is so much support and kindness here. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

 

[mikamah]

Cepmom- I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hope that good memories of your Dad will bring you comfort during this very sad time. Don't forget to take care of yourself too.

 

[mikamah]

I haven't posted in over a week and have missed you all. Life has been busy and hectic, and I don't have enough free time to myself lately. I went to ww last friday and had a 1 pound gain, and I was really mad because I had stayed on program, and I know it was probably fluid from tom, but it still aggravated me. I hadn't bought my halloween candy and went after ww, and I did ok overall. I did use most of my flex points on candy this week, but have stayed within my weekly points, exercised almost every day, and am feeling better. Hopefully the scale will be kind to me tomorrow. I have a pair of capri's I wore in the spring that I want to wear in January in disney, so I need to stick with it.

Congratulations to all our losers here!! Hugs to those who have had a tough week with the halloween candy. Don't give up. We all have our little backslides, but patience and persistence will carry us through to our goals.

I have been doing a little better staying OP, or somewhat staying OP. I am still juggling some medical issues, which I am hoping in the next couple of weeks to get regulated, but I am hanging in there. The one constant is my workouts three times a week, I think as long as I am able to keep them up I will fair okay. I did have a little accident yesterday, I fell into a wall and banged up my nose pretty good (and my body is aching all over), but overall I am doing okay and trying to stay positive. These are just bumps in the road of life and learning to live healthy when encountering lifes bumps is just another aspect of this journey.

Debbi, I'm so sorry about your fall. I hope you are feeling better. It's been a rough few month for you health-wise. hang in there. Good work on the work-outs. I feel so much better when I get my exercise in regularly.

It all started with eating just one piece of candy on Halloween, then two and well I guess you all know the rest. I'm having a hard time getting back on track. I will definitely have a gain tomorrow for my weigh in. It's the mind set that I have to get back and stay focused. I need to just take the gain and move past it. Tomorrow is another day right? Hopefully next week I will have lost whatever I gained this week and keep heading downward. Ok, mini rant over and now I feel better.

Congrats to all the losers this week.

We all have been there. Actually saturday night, I was looking for my son's halloween candy and he had hidden if from me, and I didn't find it! He thinks he's so smart at age 6. We did go through his candy and put more than half of it aside that we'll use for decorating our gingerbread house at Christmas. Hang in there. You can do it!

Today's my birthday and I had the nicest gift at my weigh in today. I loss .8 lbs. I went with the expectation of a gain of a pound or two. I posted that I caved in on Halloween and have been trying to regain that focus I seemed to have lost. I've been floating away on all the water I've been drinking so I guess that helped.

Happy Birthday to you!!! Congratulations on your birthday loss!! It's always nice and motivating to see a loss when you don't expect it.

mom2faith- Congratulations on your loss so far. You have a great plan, and everyone here is so supportive, you'll reach your goal by your next disney trip.

Have a great, losing day everyone.

 

[mom2faith]

Thanks for the WELCOMES!!

I thought I would post this link to my "before photos" post from my WISH Journal. BEFORE PHOTOS.

Does anyone else have one of "those" photos?

Today I am printing it (the really bad one from MNSSHP) and taping a copy everywhere!! On the fridge, on the pantry door, beside the TV, at my desk at work, etc. I am hoping it motivates me. Bad angle or not, I obviously am bigger than I thought!! I still have this picture of me in my head of 103lbs at graduation (I know that is gross too, but I had a super high metabolism back then). I have to GET REAL about how I look now, and stop living in the past!! I am not skinny and, more importantly, I am NOT HEALTHY!! I want that body back. (Well not the 103 body, the 145 body that makes me look healthy )

Just wondering - does anyone else "peak" at the scale before weigh in day? I try not to, but keep breaking down at about halfway through the week. I will not post these results as they are not "real" yet, but I do start to think about how much I have lost already. It is so hard not to.

Talk to you soon.

Oh and to cepmom - sorry for your loss. Do not worry about your set back right now, worry about you and your family. Focus on going through the greif process. We will all be here for you when you are ready to jump back on that horse!! But remember, this is not a free pass to eat like crazy, it is just a plateau where you can not put so much stress and pressure on your WW journey right now.
