I have been excercising everyday this week. I am also having trouble with water. I am stay op for the most part. I did not weigh in last week so I am going to do it tomarrow. hopefully I wiil be down at least 1 pound.

The cola chicken was not good!!! That is 1 recipe I will never use again!!!
I walked tons Fri and Sat, took a break and just did abs yesterday. Eating was not so good- had nachos Fri, crackers and dips Sat, and Medetranian dip Sun...I had lots of banked pts and ex pts, though, so I will wait to see what the scale says!
I had a fun weekend, and don't feel bad about going a little high on pts-I need to make WW part of my life and that includes high days too!

My weekend was a pretty good one. I workout both Saturday and Sunday. I stayed within my point range. Drank plenty of water. I did have some chinese food yesterday - so I am trying to drink lots of water to get rid of the soduim. Having a great day so far. Monday is my day off from exercising - because it's just a hectic day for my with work and getting dd to dance and gym.

Wiegh in for me at is at lunch time tomorrow. Will update you as soon as I can get to my PC. I may try to weigh at the early meeting if I can slip away from work.

Had A good monday did not have time for WI though promise will do it tomarrow(tuesday).
Had a good excercise day today walked about 4 miles all together.Also did 10 min of weight training as well as 10 min of streching. went op today by 5 points. but will promise to do better on tuesday.
I am having trouble with late night snacking. I get really hungry after 9 pm.

Hi everyone:

Judmom - Good job on the exercising - keep it up. Maybe try to save a couple of points for that late-night snack then you won't stress over it & will have something to look forward to.

Saskiemom - You are the 2nd person that didn't like the chicken.
Everyone else seems to love it. Good going on getting in your walks.

Susan - good luck at the scales.

As for my week - I was up .2# last night but it was from over-indulging at party & dance (I think too many drinks) then Chinese on Sunday watching the Oscars. Even though I didn't have too much battered Chinese I think it makes me retain water - even my feet felt puffy yesterday. Anyway I got in 11 miles of walking last week so I think it helped me not being waaayyyy up last night. Got in another 2 miles this a.m. before work.

Hope you all have a great week & good luck on the East Challenge.

Judmom- It is great to hear you doing so well with exercise! I hope you are able to WI today. Is it totally necessary for you to eat after 9pm? I try to get all my pts in before 9 whenever possible. Then I KNOW I can't go over late at night!
Bandit2- .2# is nothing, that is great!! Isn't it nice to know you can live-eat and drink in moderation- and not gain! That is a big part of this being a lifestyle not a diet! (for me anyway!)

WI tonight- hoping to maintain after my "loose" weekend!

I'm not doing badly so far this week - not perfect, but not horrible either. Went for a long walk on Sunday and took an aerobics class yesterday. I have a pretty busy day today so I'm not sure where I'll fit in exercise.

I need to watch weekend eating. I tend to munch way too much on the weekends - not necessarily bad foods, just too many of them. I weigh in tonight so I'll let you know tomorrow how I did.

Chris

bandit2 - .2 will be easy to get rid of I was up .6 last week and was down 2.2 this week - what did I do differently? Nothing.

Chris - I can completely relate about the weekend eating - I have to be extra careful too.

Judmom - late night snacking can be a problem - wish I had some helpful hints. I usually try to eat my last meal around 6:30 have something for dessert and then call it quits for eating for the evening. It's difficult when hubby and dd are having ice cream or cookies later, but I grab some water and tell myself I can do this!

Saskiemom - I have even been journaling my high days regardless of how high - I find it easier to stop myself I can really see the points.

Good Luck to everyone at weigh in this week. I was very happy hope everyone get's to do the happy dance.

Susan

Chris- Weekends are hard for me too! Don't worry if you can't fit exercise in today, it sounds like you are doing awesome! What type of aerobics class do you go to?
Susan- I journal all days too, including super high ones. Even with my three high evenings I am almost broken even, thanks to all my walking points!
I went for an 80 minute walk with a friend and dd today. It was a little windy, but if we stayed inside every time it was windy we would never go outside!
I have my 2nd week of training to work the WW meetings tonight, as well as WI. I will report back later!
Have a great afternoon!

I had WI tonight, and lost 2#. Hooray for walking!!!

Saskiemom - good for you! Nice loss.

Hope everyone has a great week.

Did my tape again this a.m.

Thanks, bandit2.
Walked for 1 hour today. Will do abs this afternoon. Not much else new. I get 6 months free WW online since I work meetings- it is really neat. I put in all my WI's since starting and it graphs them and puts stars on and stuff. Cool Only disappointment is that it only gives stars the first time you lose the weight. That means I don't get any for all the weight I have lost since was born!

Hi everyone:

Got in another 2 miles this a.m. Total since Tues = 8.
Want to beat 11 by Mon. Last few days have been eating at high end of my points, trying to save some for weekend but it didn't happen. So, I have to be really careful this weekend. Don't have any food points banked (only activity points but I don't use those)

Hope everyone has a great OP (on programme) weekend :-)

SaskieMom, Susan - good job on the loss this week. It seems to be the week for losing 2 lb. I was also down 2 lb at my weigh in last Tuesday.

I haven't done much exercise this week; a couple of aerobics classes and Pilates last night. No weights this week. . I'm going to have to get back at it if I want sculpted arms for the summer.

I also haven't been journaling for the last few days so I have a feeling that weigh in won't be good this week. I never do as well when I don't journal. But tomorrow is a new day - time to start again.

SaskieMom, I think it's very cool that you're working WW meetings. The staff at my meeting always seem to have fun and the regular weigh ins will help you keep the weight off. I think it would be worth working meetings just for the added motivation to maintain.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Chris

Chris- Great job on the 2# loss! I hope you are back at journalling, it seems to make a huge difference! (For me, anyway!)
Working the meetings IS motivating, but then it is a little unmotivating in a way too. I usually end up weighing myself in since our staff is small, so then there isn't even another person for me to be accountable to! Also, I don't get to listen to the meeting topics or get stars, etc..because I am doing paperwork.
I will only work every third meeting starting in a few weeks, which will allow me to attend the other 2 meetings. That will be good!
Bandit2-How is the weekend going? Are you doing oK without banked points?

I didn't get to walk yesterday due to extreme wind, and used all my banked pts plus a couple on pizza. Today I got a walk in, though, and think I will take dd "swimming" tonight. Mostly that is just me carrying her around the pool and splashing a lot. It has to be good for my arm muscles, though!

How is everyone doing so far this weekend?
