Molly Bee

Today was my weigh in day and I'm down 2lbs but technically they would have been lost in July so I don't know if they count. Since this is the first of August my current weight is 227 and I'll weigh in next Saturday...hopefully with good news (although, I'm going to a wedding Friday night so I'll have to dance my pants off to keep the calories down!! LOL)

I know what you mean kiki about tech being last month etc. But just go with your weigh in date and we really just go about 4 weeks but it all works out in the end...my weigh in day is always wed so last month mine was a bit off kilter too...anyway you are updated

pineneedles I need to know what you lost today compared to last week can you let me know?

Ok, I'll weigh in. I hope I can find this thread again. My weigh-in is Tuesday so last Tuesday I was 125. I'll check in on Tues.
133/125/119

Thanks Nancy! :D

Hello all - Monday is my weigh in day......and I'm down 2.2 for this past week! Yay! :D

Way to go Ragsy

Just weighed in and am down 4.4 from last week :carrot:

Awesome job nellonello!! :yay:!!

Way to lose nellonello :carrot: good job
rcrough hope you find your way back to us and keep us updated on your lose!

ok I am going to say some curse words here f**k, s**t, GDMF

done now......how can I unofficial days be down 1.0 for the week and on the day it counts be +1????

geeez what a bumpy ride......ate all points every day still had 11 out of 35 flex and 29 ap points that I did not touch and still gained!

ok really done now LOL next week I will drop a ton (?)

nancylmrn I hate it for you that you are up this week.......I know how frustrating that is.......but I bet that you have a big loss next week when your body has a chance to catch up with those 29 awesome activity points! Man - I wish I could just get 10 activity points in! :)

I used to weigh myself just about every day....but I would fluctuate so much just on a daily basis, that I found it frustrating. Then, I read some posts on here that encouraged me to just weigh in once each week and that has really worked out better for me.

Hope everyone has a great day!

As of Monday I had lost 2.6 pounds

I was up 0.6 this week....I may have hit a plateau. Any ideas on how to move off of it!
133/125.6/119

congrats to chelly and rcrough...you won't get the right answers from me I have been on the plateau for so long I am not sure I can slide off

Friday Weigh In:

SW: 230 ... CW: 227 = -3 lbs :carrot:

Hi there Nancy,
I thought that if I can offer some insight on the plateau/activity points ... this info was like pulling teeth from my leader (when I attended meetings) - but finally she told me this info & I did see results when I worked the plan :dizzy:

** when Weight Watchers designed the points plan & encouraged exercising, it was intended for people who were not previously physically active & therefore activity would considered to be at low-moderate **
** they did not anticipate for people to be "exercising" more than 4 pts/day (& that's why it says in the WW books something like "you can choose to use or not to use your activity points") **

* it is not advisable to leave more than 3 or 4 pts remaining at the end of each day (if you exercised, then log those pts, use all or some if you need to achieve either a zero pts balance or 3-4pts) *

- there is a method to the points calculation madness - do not fall into the trap of "if I don't eat all my points ie. 8 remaining at the end of the day I'll lose more weight" b/c your body will not consume enough calories & will go into starvation mode.

so if your total daily AP is for example = 6 (workout= 4 + 45min walk = 2), try to use up at least 2 of those points (easily 1cup of skim milk, a svg of cheese, or some a Skinny Cow ice cream)

Stick with it!! You Go Girl!! :woops:

Down 3 pounds from last week! :carrot:

Thank you cher37 for the insight I will put these practices into place tonight and see if there is a difference next wednesday

you all are updated! congrats

Thanks for the encouragement and tips. Since weign-in day I was down as much as 1.5 lbs. Maybe water retention??

I'll give it another week. If I don't budge it's Wendie Plan maybe and shake up my workout routine.

Down .6 today (well Friday). Eh to that. Apparently it's much easier to gain 3.2 lbs than to lose it.

great job katier! .6 is better than none (btw-I just sneaked a peek at my weight still up that darn lbs crudsys) LOL

I'm down .2 lbs

Sorry I have been MIA. I was at a wedding last weekend and decided to just weigh in this weekend.

Yesterday I was at 221.5. I lost 4 lbs last in August, but I am actually .5 above my last weigh in back in July. That's not bad considering I was in Vegas and nearly every meal was a buffet.

I stayed the same.

Congrats on the losses, small or large they are still in the right direction!! WTG!!

congrats chrissy and fatgirltale

kiki I am there with ya--well actally I gain but WTG for you

I'm down 1.6 for this past week. :)

Hope that everyone has a great week!!

Down .2

I know I can do better next week!

chelley123....every little bit helps......anything in that direction is GOOD! :D

Congrats Chelley! Must be a relief when you were expecting a gain!

good job chelly I am updating you now

:woohoo: LADIES !!!!!!

:cheer: Julz, Katier & rcrough :cheer2:

:cheer2: Chrissy, Ragsy, & Kiki :cheer3:

:cheer3: Fatgirltale, Chelley, & Nancy too! :cheer:

:carrot: Ok weight in this morning...go figure down -2.0? sothe week before I am a good soldier and gain a pound. This past week I only worked out two days ate all my pts (flex incuded) and lose 2.0.

This comming week I am going to make more of a balance of exercise and pts and see what happens...i.e. when earning 7apts eat 3 off those that day etc.

wow and 1/2 the month is gone we are doing awesome :hug:

:cp: :cp: :cp: :cp: :cp: :cp: :cp: :cp:

Yeah Nancy!!!

ya know after the loss and then a visit to the dr for check up I am feeling pretty good. She is going to try me on 1/2 med for hypertention and hopefully elimate them all together. I can only attribute it to ww and exercise.

Rock on Nancy!!:bravo:

Down 1.4:carrot:

yay katier! :cp:

(saw that your post was at 4:29 this morning......made me sleepy just thinking about getting up that early! :))

Haha thanks Ragsy..it was 5:30 my time, which is still terrible in my opinion. I am a teacher and school starts in three weeks so I am practicing getting up at 5. It's not easy!

Way to go Katier! great week for you. (btw I am up everyday at 5am and I agree it can be an aweful time of the am)

WTG Katier :carrot:

...sorry to report :( no weight loss for me this week

Hey guys! well, I lost 2.4 pounds this week!!! I am so excited. Especially since I didn't really exercise this week. Really got to get beack in the groove of daily exercise. Been surfing on the laptop too much and staying up late chatting till all hours. Sleep and exercise need to be my priorities!!!

Chelley, that's awesome! Great job. You must have done something right this week!:D

I'm down -0.2 pounds. (-4.0 total for Aug)

Thanks Ragsy!!
Just noticed you about the same starting weight as me and have approx the same goal. Just wanted to let you know that it can be done!! I didn't think it could but here I am 65 pounds lighter :) Let me know if you need anything!!!

Way to go chickies!!!!!!!

Well today was my weigh in and I am pretty disapointed and bummed out. I weighed myself Sunday and yesterday and had stayed down 1.5-2.0 lbs then on the offical day....same as last Wednesday...this is frustrating but at least I know I really have lost but just am retaining some fluid????

Hi I am New,

I have been browsing 3FC for about a month now and have decided to finally join. I have been doing weight watchers at home for the past 2 months I have had some ups and downs, as everyone has.

This week I lost 2.8 pounds.. I was super excited. I have been uping my exercise gradully, and this week really paid off..


Just thought I would share... :)

yeah for you s200n I will get you started on the thread____keep up the good work!

By some miracle I lost 1.2 this week!!:carrot: I think that miracle is a lot of exercise.

woo hoo! Way to go Katie!

:woohoo:

got to love it katier!

Hello, all. I have struggled with weight since very young. I have tried diet after diet but always get discouraged and give up. I always do better if I have "partner" to tackle the journey with. Last year, I started WW at home with a co-worker. We both were doing okay but she decided it was too hard and quit. After doing it alone for a month, I too threw my hands up in the air and went back to my old eating habits.
My husband and I are ready to start trying for our first child. After realizing lately that my closet seems to be shrinking all of my clothes, I bought a scale this morning and weighed myself. WOW --- 258.8 lbs. The largest I have ever been in my life. After crying for a good hour, I went grocery shopping and I am prepared to start this journey once again starting tomorrow. I just remembered this website. Not sure why I forgot about it before.
Everyone here always seemed so helpful. I never really posted due to embarrassment, I just read.
This time, I will be posting no matter how embarrassing. I think the help on here will be exactly what I need to remind myself that I am not alone.
Good luck to everyone. It looks like you are all doing VERY WELL. Keep up the good work.

welcome chopper this is a reat place for support if it had not been for the encouraging words i would have quit last year, my journey has been slow with more ups than downs so join us its great

Nancy....put me down for -0.2 this week. :tantrum: (-4.2 for August so far)

I had a good week and I just knew it was going to be good loss this week....but, no.......agh!!

Welcome Chopper!!:D

Hopped on the scale this morning.. After a week of long walks and great food I am down 2.4. I have now lost 16 pounds with Weight Watchers. Which puts me at 150. I am so excited to think that next week I might be in the 140's. I havent been there in 5 years... I also go a new haircut on Friday. I cut off 12 inches of my hair into a cute little bob.. My friend Whitney was like "Wow your hair cut makes you look so skinny" that is when I had to tell here well it's not just the hair cut.. I have lost 16 pounds!!!

LOL

On an off the threads for the past couple of years. I have been watching people at school - parents, teachers, staff, etc. lose weight with WW for the past couple of years, but never tried it. I started 4 weeks ago and have lost 10 lbs as of this morning...oh yeah, I better change my stats! I am finding the points system much easier than counting all the calories and fat grams, etc. Thanks for everyone's inspiring tales. I'll keep reading to keep up the positives of dieting.

Thanks for posting boatingmommy!

Hi Chickies!

I started weight watchers on August 17, but decided to do Thursday as my official weigh in day. My starting weight was 188.6 (The day I started and last Thursday) and my current weight is 188.2. Soooo not what I expected it to be. I have uh oh'd my points a couple of days, but for the most part I have done good. I started exercising with the Wii My Fitness Coach Tuesday. I probably haven't been doing it long enough to make a differnce in weight, but boy do my muscles sure know something is going on.

Any tips/advice anyone has to offer would be great. I am kinda disappointed since when I was doing daily weigh ins and not counting them I got down to 187.4.

I look forward to having you all as a support group. I think I'm going to need it.

Kasey

s200n - great job on the loss this week!

Welcome boatingmommy.

Kasey - don't worry, I'm sure you'll see the loss at your next weigh in. I think I may have mentioned before that I had to stop weighing myself too often, because the daily fluctuations drove me nuts! Keep on exercising and keep journaling. You'll do great! :D

kaykay any decrease is good...just don't give up and keep moving!

I was down 1.6 pounds last Monday and I will have another loss in a few days !!! YAY!!!

I'm back to 80 lbs down!! I FINALLY did it!! Sheesh, it was my own stupid fault for putting those dang 7 lbs back on...:( ...but at least it's gone again.

Good morning ladies and I too stumbled upon this blog. I am doing ww at home, and my weight in day is friday. So yesterday I weighed 237, and the friday before that I weight 240.5 So I lost 3.5 this past week. Can I jump in starting now? hugs for all your souls.

Welcome ernurse!!! This is a wonderful community for weight loss, so I hope you find as much support here as I have!

ernurse welcome and of coiurse you can jump on anytime! I will get you posted in the list

Nancy, for the totals I should mention that I have stayed the same. I had bigger plans for August...here's to a better Sept!

I too had bigger plans for Aug and it did not happen...oh well. Sept is a new month and as long as I lose the actual number does not count

Good morning, all. I weighed this morning and despite a few set backs last week, I still lost 2.6 lbs. :D Considering that I was off points a few days last week, that is a lot better than I expected. Thank you all for welcoming me. It is much appreciated.

Kasey - don't get discouraged. It will take your body a little time to get used to the dietary and activity changes in your life. Even though it was .4 lbs, it's still a loss and I think you should be proud of it ;)

Michelle - congrats on getting rid of the 7 lbs!

ernurse - way to go!! :carrot: That's a huge loss. People here are wonderful; they'll be a huge help for you. Welcome!

Hope everyone has a great Monday and tons of 'losses' this week! :p

My last weigh-in for August.....down 1.6. Since the last two weeks were 0.2 each....I guess that is pretty good. (That's -5.8 for August.)

Here's hoping for a wonderful September for ALL of us!!

:spin:

Hi Everyone! I am new to this group! I used to post on the Core site, but since I live all the way in Saudi Arabia and am doing the plan on my own, I thought I'd start posting here since I need a fresh, new start.
How is everyone?
You all seem like a lively, successful bunch, got room for 1 more? :)

Of course Noussa! Welcome!

Thanks KiKi!
Hey, I am also from 0ntario, originally... Toronto actually! God, I miss it! :)
So, how does this work?

Down 1.6 for the week...again... LOL, that seems to be my magic number

I'm not too far from TO Noussa, about an hour (I'm in Brantford). Just post what you've lost on your weigh in day...easy peasy. :D
