First, a huge congrats to April. I am so proud of your accomplishment. I can't wait to get there.

Denise - how is the Weight Watchers at home working? I hope all is going well.

Sassy - you are awesome. You have jumped in on the boards with both feet and are doing wonderfully. Keep up the great work.

Lin - I have to say you are a great inspiration to the rest of us. I read all your posts. You have learned so much in your journey and are so willing to share your insight. I am grateful to you.

Hotcocoa - Welcome. I hope all stays on plan for you.

As for me. I am at 229.8, which is up 1 lb from my big loss next week. I am not letting myself freak out about it. I am working on my attitude. I need to be a more positive person. This is a life change, not a diet and it will come off eventually.

Hi ladies!!
Cathi your doing great. Maybe the gain was because you had such a huge loss the previous week. Well, your doing great so keep it up. Working on the positive attitude is good too. I know we all could use that not just us ladies trying to lose weight.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!!

I've been MIA for a few days - just really busy at home.

Sassy - great job. One bite here and there never hurts. It's all the "one more" bites that get us!

April - hope you're feeling better. Take care of yourself first and then get back on plan.

Cathi - I'm sure the trend will be downward again next week. Keep on keepin' on! And thanks for the kind words.

Hi all! I joined Weight Watchers in September and have lost 19.5 pounds so far. I'd like to participate in this weekly weigh in thread! At my last doctor visit which was months ago, I weighed 315 pounds. I lost about 10 on my own before joining weight watchers, but I'm just going to track my weight watchers progress for simplicity sake! I just enjoy seeing those falling numbers in one place week by week and I've been looking for a thread that doesn't disappear at the end of the month! Want to thank you guys for starting something like this and I'll bookmark it and update weekly. Support is key! Thats one thing I've definitely learned from my time at Weight Watchers! Good luck to everyone else in the thread, lets lose together!

KD great job so far. You are well on your weigh. I'm glad your here! I look forward to seeing all our numbers going down every week. :)

Hi ladies...It's a great Thursday. I'm starting to love Thursdays. I lost another 4 pounds. I'm so excited that I'm down 14 pounds. I am starting to feel a little difference in my pants so tha's cool too!!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Week.. almost time for the weekend!

KD - welcome to the thread. You seem to be in control! Great job.

Sassy - fantastic that you are now in the 200's! You're really doing such a great job.

Hope everyone has a great end of week and weekend!

Lin

HI ladies. I was MIA yesterday had a busy day. I am back now and need to relax. I was hoping my son would sleep in today, but ya know how that goes. I almost got 4 and 1/2 hours of sleep.. Blah I need more, but on the weekends it's impossible since I can't go to bed until 2.
Yesterday was so awesome. I had a baby shower to go to. I didn't eat anything at the shower and that was hard because the food looked so so good. Oh my gosh I wanted it so bad, but I felt so good when I got home.

Work was good. We were busy and I love when were busy because the time just flys by.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!! :)

KD - Welcome looks like you are off to a great start.

Sassy - you are doing awesome. I hope your enthusiasm rubs off on me a bit.

April - Are you feeling better yet?

Lin - Just curious, do have to work hard at mainentance, do you still plan your days and menus?

I have a "take the holidays off attitude" that I have to kick out of here. My new goal is going to be 220 by the end of the year.

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

Down another 2 pounds this week! Yay! Hoping to hit my 10% goal by mid-December which is 275. .I don't have a huge concern with thanksgiving and the holidays - overall my family just isn't big on holidays in regards to food. We'll have turkey and a few other things but we'll be downsizing the amount from last year so it should be somewhat healthy. It's just one day! Not a week! Going to do my best to re purpose the food elsewhere into more healthy things after the big day.

Last week on WEDNESDAY, the day after I weigh in with WW, of course I weighed myself at home and was 282 when I had weighed in at 286 the day before! Went back to 284 by the time Tuesday had rolled around again. Would be nice to nail 280 and pass it as much as I possibly can by the end of the month!

Last week was a crummy week for working out. Had a lot of things going on so this week I'm going to work my butt off 3-4 days for SURE.

Cathi - I started in January with a sort of intuitive idea of calories, etc., as my plan for the day. I looked things up and realized that portions were WAY smaller than we think, so I cut back on the main foods in portion - like meat, cheese, etc. I cut out all crap. I cut way back (1 or 2 small servings a week) on bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice. And I greatly increased veggies and fruit and fiber. I read labels and tried to stay low in sodium. I ate lots of salads with chicken, eggs, or left over steak thrown in. I tried not to drink any calories, but also stayed away from diet soda, so I drank a lot of water. I kept it very simple.

Now, I just add back some of the things I took out. I eat a few more servings of bread or potatoes, for example. I eat a little bit of candy. I try to stay to my "diet" way of eating most days and let myself eat whatever sounds sensible if I go out to eat or am having dinner with friends. I still try not to eat snacks late at night. I pay attention to whether I'm actually hungry. It seems to be about the same as losing - with privileges. I know how my daughter eats. I try to eat like she does - very sensibly with realistic portions most of the time. Go nuts once in a while and then go back to extra sensible for a week to balance it back out. Exercise.

"Holidays Off" means one day for Thanksgiving and maybe 3 for Christmas. No more! LOL

KD - great job this week. Keep it up. You seem to have everything under control.

April - where are you? Starting to worry. Check in and let us know how you're doing.

Lin

Hi ladies.. It's been such a stressful week with Jury duty which I ended up not being picked and my son has been sick. He is never sick so it seems like when he does get sick it's awful and just at night. Just when we need to get sleep ya know. Weight loss was a fantastic week for me though. Today is my weigh in and I lost 4 pounds. I am super excited!! There were a few challenges on my plate that I overcame. yay!!! I haven't lost this much in a long time.

April where are you? Are you ok? Are you feeling better? Let us know drop a line!!

KD great job on the 2 pounds that's awesome!! Your well on your way!

Cathi 220 by the end of the year definetely doable. I'm sure you can do it. I'm trying really hard to just come up with some healthy dishes I can eat for Thanksgiving and eat allot of like veggies.. Then I can eat a little of the other stuff that's not so good for me. Im definetely nervous about it though..

Hi, everyone -- I'm back, finally. It's been a very, very busy few weeks (which included a not-diet-friendly trip to Southern California), but I'm re-committed and very happy to see (drum roll) 236.5# on the scale this morning. (We won't mention what the scale said when I got back from my trip, ok?)

I was really struggling on my own, and I saw a good deal on a 3-month WW online membership, so I signed up for that. Simply tracking everything I eat has helped me immensely.

KD, it's nice to see another Weight Watcher on here! I have been happy with the program - I like that there are really no "forbidden" foods - and I see you're doing well with it, too.

Here's hoping I can stay on track through Thanksgiving. Luckily, I guess, we eat at my sister's place, so there are not a lot of goodies around my house after the big feast.

Happy Turkey Day everyone!

Denise

The good news is that I've lost 5.2 in the past 3 day. The bad news is that in the couple of weeks of being sick and having eat carbs to tolerate my meds, I gained a total of 10.2

So my high was 209, I'm back down to 203.8 this morning and looking forward to getting rid of the remaining 5 lbs to be able to start losing new weight again.

April glad your back and you'll have that 5 pounds gone in no time! Great job on the weight loss so far. Are you all better?
