WW At Home - Beginning Weight Watchers again

I am a former WW girl fallen off the wagon for a few years and back up to my pre WW weight. I am ready for a change and finally accept that though counting can get annoying, it WORKS for me. I am beginning today at home with the Flex points program and would love some WW buddies to hold me accountable for my point usage etc.

I'm in. I have had some great success on Weight Watchers, but have not had success findig a meeting that I click with. I am frustrated and wanting to get re-focused, but can't seem to get it going for more than a day or two. So today it is!

I am also a fallen weight watchers alum. I lost in 2006 and have gained it all back plus. I've started the program over and over and over more times than I can count. My motivation lasts less than a week and I'm back where I was. Last night I had a ah-ha moment and I realized I was ready to start again. So today's the day.

I am planning on weighing myself in Wednesdays only and having that be my week to week plan. So far so good with my points today!! How are you doing?

coming back to WW myself, so you're not alone. Lost almost 40lbs 4 years ago right before I moved cross country. It's all back now, and I want it gone again.

BTW.. lived in New England most of my life.Bawstin born and bred gurl here. California just cant compare... but we've got better winters :P

I JUST STARTED WW AGAIN TODAY!:goodluck: to all of us:)
I just got my new digital sale yesterday.I am 13 lbs more than I thought.:(

Trust me Tracy, we all have those moments. I went Monday to buy job interview clothes because I had outgrown mine. It took HOURS AND HOURS to find a pair of pants that fit me properly because my body had changed so much since last summer when I last bought clothes for this purpose. Sooo sad. I plan to weigh in Wednesdays if you are interested in supporting one another!

well chickies I too had an ah ha moment and I am starting tomorrow...going to try core this time instead of flex ...I think I need variety? I am ready to motivate and be motivated

Would you guys like to join in the Wednesday weigh in?

yay! glad to see so many coming back to WW! I love it and I too keep coming back. I struggle with myself, not the program; the program works!!!

I go to meetings but not because it's a great meeting. I just like checking in with my leader, I like the accountability to her and me and then I go home and get my support from people like you guys!!

plenty of chicks to support you all!

yeah,i start today as well..I used to be WWgirl as well,but the last month really fell off the wagon...So,on with it again!

I would be intrested in Wednesdays weigh in

Hi, I am starting again from home today also. I lost 55 pounds 2 years ago on WW's at home only to go back to my old ways and gain it all right back plus more. A size 6 to a 20 is not the best feeling in the world and thats where I am at. So yes I would love to be included in a weekly Wednesday weigh in and I am happy to be back and moving forward.

I joined WW online last week for the 7 day free trial, but my old computer just can't handle the technical things. Didn't find it that helpful, anyway. I'm new to 3FC's & will be glad for the support. Did food inventory today & did some shopping for fresh fruits, etc. Also started my journal. Have had some health issues & ballooned up 25 additional pounds in just two months. At 57, I've ruined my metabolism with yo-yo dieting, and ready for fresh, healthier start. No more Adkins. Hope to visit with you ladies often, hopefully with progress reports!

hi all... i lost 80lbs on weight watchers about 5 years back but gainned it all back then some :( but i actually joined like 3 weeks ago and lost 11 lbs so far on the new momentum plan... i have to say it is a good diet... i weigh in an thurdays maybe we can all support each other :) good luck everyone!

Yay! I am so happy to have so much good company in the big return to WW. I had a less than perfect weekend because it was my boyfriend's birthday which meant many meals out with friends and family, and also unplanned margaritas late at night:dizzy:
I think though that I still did much better than I would have without the Weight Watchers in the back of my mind, and I plan to behave completely today and tomorrow. We'll see what happens Wednesday!!!

I"d be interested in a Wednesday weigh in. Count me in :)

double post. Sorry

Also please check the May weigh in for us at home chickies! we have goal to meet --over 50lbs for the month lol may or may not make it. It is a bit behind on keeping up but I am sure chef's girl will jump on it this week..

as long as we keep focused we will make it...you all are awesome

So tomorrow is my first weigh in, but I already had an amazing moment. My aha moment was a week ago when I had a horrible time finding clothes for an interview I got short notice. The pants I got were totally on the loose end intentionally (I am interviewing to be a teacher so I want nothing to hug anything haha). I went to wear them for work today and between whatever weight loss and I am sure the water I was retaining while eating terribly before, the pants were officially too loose to wear! I knew it wouldn't take much for that to happen but it still feels amazing!:carrot:

Just weighed myself and I am down 2.2 for the first week. How did everyone else do??

great!I am down 3lb from last week.I am so glad the scale is moving in the right direction for a change!:spin:

Hi Congrats Everyone, I am down 5lbs.
Starting 222
Now 217
Goal 140
Feeling much better!

3lbs lost this week

197

Awesome job everyone!!!!

I'm down 1lb. Not as good as I'd hope but better than going up. I think it's time I start adding some exercise to my day. Any sugguestions? It's not in my budget right now to join a gym so I'm looking for at home stuff. :D

Hey.. 1lb is better than a gain!

I saw someone's signature line the other day that said "Lose one pound. Keep it off. - Repeat!"

You did it. Now do it again :D

I found out yesterday morning I got a teaching job I wanted very badly!!!!!!! I used more of my extra 35 points that I wanted last night for the celebration dinner, but I actually am super psyched because I now have a specific goal in mind--I want to be down to my pre-gain size by mid-August so when I buy all of my new work clothes they will be that size!! Let the losing continue!

What a terrific goal to set. How exciting.

My wardrobe is in desperate need of revamping, and I'm currently unemployed but looking to switch careers (yay, I'll get to put some money into comfy clothing when I do) So hopefully.. I'll be on the same track as you soon myself (crosses her fingers for that perfect floral design job)

Best of luck to you. Sending good energies your way :D

How did everyone do this week?? I unfortunately gained, but am right back on track as of yesterday and today!

I'm down about 1.5lbs since last week

Today's weight 195.6. I'm happy, anything that gets me further away from that 200 mark is fine by me :D

I'm a bit bummed that I gained this week. But I feel this week's gonna go better!

I am however very excited for katier. YEA for you!!! :carrot: Getting a new job is so exciting. I think having the goal to lose before school starts is a wonderful motivation. You're off to a great start!!

And Lissus, I'm in the same boat as you. Well sort of. I'm in the process of trying to switch careers too, only I'm still employed part-time. How great will it feel when we start our new careers AND weigh less. YEA for us!!!

welcome all you newbie's and old timers. the support here is awesome!
Please post often and keep us updated

I am restarting again as well. It is so easy to fall off the wagon, but easy to dust yourself off and hop back on. what I need to do is take one meal at a time and not get into that " I blew this day/week so I will just eat what I want this day/week". what I like about the plan is that you can eat anything - in moderation.

Am crawling back after trying to find anything else that would be easier and quicker. Guess what? There is no such thing! I am a lifetimer who is 65 lbs. over goal. I am proud that I have stuck to it for THREE WHOLE DAYS!!!!!!!And man, am I HUNGRY! But I lost three pounds already from the initial water weight loss, and I'm hoping to invoke some sort of spirit that will give me willpower! LOL. I cannot afford the meetings currently so I'm giving it a go alone at home. I'm looking forward to touching base with others who are in the same boat!

I forgot to check in yesterday. All week I've been a day off in my head.

Anyways..been on program all week, with just a few bad choices, but I have a hard time resisting the call of a peppermint mocha. And I'm down another 1.5 this week. Happy dance :carrot:

and I hear ya dancemom, can't afford the meetings myself. But 3FC is a great support group. :)

Hey all my name is Donna and I am new to this site but have been a memeber of WW for the last year and a half. I have lost 75lbs so far but have almost 100 more to lose so I am looking for some support between meetings :)

Welcome newcomers! The support on this site is amazing! We tend to share our losses on Wednesday on this thread, but also there is a June weight loss thread where all of our weight losses are compiled.


Also, 2 days late reporting here but I was down 1.4 this week!

Its so good to see some of the new faces here! :hug: I can't tell you how many times I have stopped and started again but June is a wonderful month for a commitment.

Katier great job this week on the loss I will update I think this weekend if I get a spare few minutes

WTG Donna on the loss of 75lbs that is just amazing
Lissus don't worry about a few bad choices just keep going..

Yesterday I had a few bad ones myself (gosh I love potstickers! ate 11 of them at 1 pt each) and several glasses of wine....it happens just keep going

I would like to join also! Signed up for the free trial and I am now paying for 3 months and I went to the site twice. Not on a the scale since March it's going to be scarey but I'll start weighing in on Wednesday. Good luck everyone.

I'm a day late but I'm down 2 lbs....Yeah!

I forgot to check in yesterday too, no loss this week. I swear my scale is stuck!!

just an fyi for any of you who want to track your loss for the month just hop over to the june weigh in thread put you loss in for the week and I will update it....our goal is to lose over 50lbs this month

:carrot:

I forgot to post here Wednesday (I did post at the June weigh in). I was down a pound this week, which is okayyy. I did run (and walk a little) my first 5k! I hadn't trained for it but it was an event at the elementary school I work at and I wanted to be a participant. Plus, I figured I would be less likely to give up with all the little kids watching me. My time wasn't great, but it felt great to finish, so that is my big success of the week!

thats awesome katier a 5k! I don't know if I could do that. hmm I wonder who I could recruit to practice that.

anyway looks like everyone is doing a wonderful job!

Down 1.8!

no gain, no loss. I haven't been doing so well this week. Time to get back on track and get my butt in gear.

Great job katier on the loss
Lissus I am right there with ya this week nogain, no loss and I was on track LOL

I'm up again.... it really hurts but I know that the only person I have to blame is myself. And that hurts too. :( I've gained back the all the weight i've lost plus an extra pound. I know what I need to do but I can't seem to make myself do it anymore. I need a kick in the pants...:(

Chrissy consider yourself KICKED :hug:

We have all had the same thing happen to us where we fall off that wagon, and have to get motivated to get back up and hop on. I have gained and lost the same weight for the past year, on my back down for the 100th time but it is so hard. I have to look for small things to keep me going. For me it has been in the form of stickers on a calendar and new workout dvd's.

I hope you find the niche that works for you and we are here to help

Thanks, Nancy. This is why we can't do this alone. We need people we can count on to kick us when we need it. I needed it so thanks! :)

Hi everyone. I am new to the site and I am trying to do WW too. I need help and I dont know where to find it. I get lost on this site so easy and when I find something I lose it. Can I join your little group and try this with all of you. I lost on WW 10 years ago and really have only gained about 6 or 7 lbs back. But I have tried all other kids of diets and I feel lost. I hope to talk to you later.
Judy
