Moms to young ones on WW?

Is our thread dead??

Ann72 · 04-17-2009, 11:02 PM

Sorry, Lorie/Ciarra. I had a really busy week and just haven't had a moment to check in until now.

I've been not doing so great on the eating front. The holidays didn't help me get back on track at all. At least I've been pretty active, which will hopefully prevent me from gaining weight.

Where is everyone else? I hope they come by again.

You know I watched TBL, Lorie. I'm enjoying it as usual. Who are you pulling for these days? They're all looking amazing. I loved the makeovers.

Take care!

I think I want Mike to win. I think it would be nice it Kristen won, but I also think she has too much weight yet to loose, which would make it hard for her to win. If that makes sense. Mike is just looking so handsome!

Lorie, Congrats on your 10%!!!
Hi, Ann!
I don't get a chance to watch a lot of tv. Noggin or American idol.... But love that there is a show that encourages weight loss.
Hungry Girl has a new book out of recipes..... Must get out and get one. I need all the help I can get.
I've had a couple of eating more than I should days this week but still within WPA and activity points. I've just been starving. I just hate that. I really need to go grocery shopping. I have eaten most of my stuff.
I've decided to stop attending the weekly meetings. I have the information, and while I love meetings they just take so much time out of my day off. I really need to be doing other stuff, like housework, yardwork or just spending time with my family. If I am not successfull then I can always go back.
I'll try to check in more. Things just get busy.

Good morning, it's Manic Monday around here....
how is everyone doing?

I've been on WW for 3 months! Today. So thrilled to stick to it this long.
Switching my weigh ins to Tuesday mornings and going to do it at home. (see above) So my next 3 months starts tommorrow.
I have a 3 month points journal so hoping that I'll be to goal or really close by then!
Anyway going to a well baby visit this afternoon and getting immunizations. I hate those.....

Ann72 · 04-21-2009, 08:10 PM

Ciarra--you're doing so great. I wish I could stick with it for 3 days let alone 3 months. lol.

Lorie--yeah, Mike's a cool guy. I really like him. Don't you think they HAVE to add his brother as a contestant for next season? How cool would that be? I can't wait to watch tonight.

Well, we're going away on vacation on Saturday. When I return, I am going to go back to meetings. Ciarra is strong enough to do it on her own, but apparently, I'm not.

Ann72 · 04-24-2009, 03:16 PM

We've going away tomorrow, so this will probably be my last time here for a little over a week. Have a great week ladies.

Hopefully, the activity on the thread will pick up a little bit by the time I return. I miss hearing from everyone.

Ann-Have a nice trip!

My 11th wedding anniversary is tomorrow. We had made plans to take the kids to this state park, do some walking, taking in the scenery, have a picnic, etc. But there is an 80% chance of rain and it isn't supposed to be very warm. I think we will still go, but will have to come up with a different plan if it is pouring.

I weigh in tomorrow morning. I feel like I am doing everything right, but I also feel like I am stuck in a rut.

Anyone doing the Walk It Challenge? I signed up, and am very excited about doing my 5K in June.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Everyone? Seems like no one is posting anymore....where is everyone?

I had an ok weigh in on Saturday. I lost .4, which brings me to 66 lost total. Looking forward to 70 lost now.

This week is busy for me. I am having a rummage sale on Saturday. I have been busy going thru stuff to sell. So far the weather is looking good, so I am hoping people wanna buy my stuff. We have a village-wide rummage sale, so there is always oddles of people. My mom is coming down to help me (and also bring some of her stuff to sell). Fun, fun! Better get to work!

Hi Ladies...I'm hoping this group isn't dead, because I sure would like to join! I have 2 daughters, one is 5 years old & the other nearly 4 months. I was doing pretty well on WW & going to Curves last year, lost about 14 lbs in 2 months, until I found out I was pregnant. Due to Gest. Diabetes & a really strict diet, I gained 0 pounds during my pregnancy. However, according to my last scale reading I'm up 7 lbs, which means that I've gained even more then that (not sure of my weight immediately post pregnancy).

Soooo...I'm joining back next payday. Until then I'm going off of my existing knowledge of WW, I know my point allotment etc. I am joining back up with Curves this Friday also. I'm hoping to find time between my "work" days at odd's school, starting up a new part time job and general mommy duties to get the exersizing in, along with staying away from all the temptations of food.

Hi Gemini! I am still around, so post away!

gemini1567 · 05-02-2009, 02:48 AM

So I'm a muncher and I have a really bad sweet tooth, that is one of my downfalls. So I went to the store today and loaded up on acceptable munchies. Got some WW ice creams, unsweetened applesauce, ff cheese along with some easy to pop in the microwave lunches. I know the frozen meals aren't the best way to go, because of sodium etc, but with 2 young ones, I need something I can fix in a hurry and isn't very hands on.

Ciarra · 05-04-2009, 04:16 PM

Gemini,
I like a lot of the frozen meals, just so quick and easy and so little effort on my part. So nice to meet you!
I have had some issues on and off since Easter but last week was a really good week and I'm back down where I should be. So I feel more motivated again to try and behave and do well. Hoping to find my 170 this summer so I have gotta get going.
Waiting on my little lady to get up from her nap and will spend some time playing in the yard. Not really structured exercise but at least I'll be moving some.

FitSarah · 05-06-2009, 10:02 PM

Can I join your group? I am a mother of 3 and I started back to WW 2 weeks ago and I've lost 8lbs so far! My youngest is going to be 10mos old on Monday. I am up 60lbs from where I should be...

Sarah

Ciarra · 05-07-2009, 09:25 AM

Way to go Sarah! 8 pounds is awesome!

And welcome to our group!
