Hi Alliz, welcome back to WW. Good Luck to your team!! Happy to have you here,we'll be here when your ready.

Amy congrats on the pound it is still a loss, when do you get the Ok from your Dr. to exercise again?

Hello all,
Well, I said it was a rough week away in WA, it showed at the scale, up 1.6, dang it!! I think I'm back on track now. I've been tracking everyday and really trying to get that water in. Can't be eating that late at night, and not exercising at the level I was. Anyhow, congrats to all and thanks for being here for me

Hey Keli,
I know how you feel didn't lose anything for a couple of weeks but finally got a loss this week. On my way now to sign up for a gym, which is to good to pass up. It's $15.00 a month, no contract and no sign up fee. May be if I go atleast 3 days a week it will move the scale a little better. Good Luck to all!!

This weeks weightloss 1.5 pds

Congrats on the loss, Gina. I'm nervous about tomorrow, but I can't seem to get too hard on myself. Exercising is going good, lots of walking, but I started out tracking and then quit after a couple days, I don't know why, just stopped. If I don't track I don't lose as well.

Now we have Halloween and my birthday Sat. This has always been a time of year where things can spiral out of control, next thing you know Thanksgiving, Xmas, New Years. Our leader says if you're not trying to do something you can easily gain 10 lbs. over the holiday season.

Scarier than Halloween isn't it!! So, I guess if we're maintaining or slowly losing we're ahead of the game!

see you later! Hopefully I'll be moving the slider tomorrow, the right way this week

I know what you mean,some weeks are harder than others and then the holidays coming up it is a stressfull time of year maybe together we can get each other thru. I guess it's just how bad we want the change in our life and in our bodies. Happy Birthday on Saturday!! Mine was last Friday,I even made my diet BD cake. Good Luck today and don't be nerveous.

Here's to a fresh start!

Oh, I forgot to post! I was down 2.4 pounds at my last weigh-in! I sort of binged a little last night between a Halloween party and candy (and PMS isn't helping matters). I didn't count my points, just wrote in my log book "Halloween" and crossed off all my flex points for the rest of the week. I hope I can be on my best behavior until Monday and not go over my daily points! If I do, hopefully I'll still see a loss this week.

We're all doing great!! I lost 1.4 of the 1.6 I gained last week, with Halloween and all so I'm thrilled, feel like I'm back on track. Congrats to both of you.
Gina on 20 lbs. and Amy on 10 lbs.!! That's great. You guys are inspiring me! Will track and drink water this week, those are my goals. Have a great weekend.
Thanks and happy belated birthday, Gina!!

Hey everyone! I skipped the weigh-in yesterday. I knew it wouldn't be great news (thanks to Halloween and an extended PMS period this month) and didn't want to deal with that. I went to the meeting though! I shared a NSV and people sort of laughed at me at first, but I explained and they seemed to like what I said. I got new glasses last week (I have pretty bad vision and can't deal with contacts), but I went for a bolder frame that definitely attracts more attention to me than my old glasses, or at least I feel they do. And I don't think I would have felt confident enough to go for these frames unless I was feeling good about myself. So that's something, right?

Wow Amy you sound really confident, I bet your glasses are amazing. Hey Keli I hope your weigh in goes well tomorrow. My plateau is over this week, I guess adding some working out to the diet helps. Progress on endurance is slow, but I have gone from 15 mins to 20 mins with out getting sick so I'm making progress.

This weeks weightloss 3 pds

Hello, took me awhile to find this thread again.
Congrats on the 3 pounds Gina, that's great. I think I might be down a pound, I'll be happy with that. My birthday was Sat. so we went out for a nice lunch and brought home a yummy dessert.

Congrats, too on being able to exercise, I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't.
see ya!

Okay - I am back. I acutally got to go to the meeting tonight! YEAH!! I talked to my leader, and we decided that I might do better if I start the program over again. I am only down 6lbs from where I started the program last summer, so I too thought that maybe the newness may help! Anyway, I will keep you all updated!

Had a good week, lost 2! Yay!! We tried low carb, it got me looking at Core. I'm going to try it. I think I can do it now, I'm excited to be doing something different. My leader says she switches back and forth. She says Core is good practice for maintenance. Can't wait to get there

Hope all is well with you guys. I'm going to Calif. with my brother for a few days and weigh-in is the day I get back, so I'm a bit nervous about the outcome, but whatever happens we'll deal with it. I'm planning on going for lots of walks.

Greetings! I just joined the WW boards here about 2 days ago. My weigh-in day/meeting day is on Tuesday so I thought I would see if it's ok if I hang out with you all. I am so off track, I can't seem to get myself back in the right direction with my WW program even though I am still going to Meetings. I thought maybe if I started coming here, it would encourage me to try harder. With the Holidays right around the corner, it's going to be even tougher. I wonder if I'll even be able to "get" back on track right now, but I really do not want to wait til Jan or Feb. I feel like I really need this "now". Thanks for listening.

Hi Tink! I think now's a great time to join. My meetings are on Mondays and the focus of our meeting last night was planning strategies for Thanksgiving. We jotted down what we'd like to eat and how many points that would be, and I'm actually going to take that with me as a reminder not to overindulge too much. I think it's possible for me to at least maintain over the holidays, and I'd like to actually lose some weight. It's possible! Someone at our meeting last night told us she originally reached her lifetime membership status in early January years ago (she's back because she has since put some of her weight back on).

I lost another 2 pounds yesterday! I'm just two pounds above where I was before I got pregnant with baby #2. I'm going to try to work in some exercise now. My foot is really starting to feel so much better!

So I'll be trying to walk some during my lunch hour and doing some toning tapes at night. I have a gym membership too, but my doctor said I should start just using the bike first. We'll see about that. I'm so relieved I've been able to lose weight while recovering from surgery because I was so afraid I'd just sit around and eat all the time and gain weight. It's a good feeling going into the holidays after losing weight for a few months. That gives me some momentum to keep losing rather than thinking "Well, I'll probably just gain weight anyway, so I might as well eat everything I want!"

Good luck at all your weigh-ins today!

Sounds like everyone's doing great. Congrats again Gina, looks like you're closing in on 30 lbs. that's great.

Tink, if you can keep going to your meetings it just might start coming together for you. That's what I did. It took me awhile to get back on track. This is the time when it's important to not give up.

Our leader was giving us the horror stories about how much weight you can gain over the holidays, 10 lbs. easily from Thanksgiving to New year's, so Amy's right if we can even maintain over the holidays we're ahead of the game.

Luck and good week to all!!
