No, didn't wake up screaming... I left out the part about all the people I disliked from high school being there, we were playing some kind of bizarre WW-themed game....... Huh........ Anyway, now I'm having trouble deciding if memories from my last meeting were part of the dream or actually real. It's a weird feeling!!

Congrats Char on your WL and for putting us over 50!

Wow! You all are amazing! I would love to join in on your goal(and my own)! I just restarted WW today. Hopefully I will be able to help you all out next week. Way to go you all!

Chrissy

Awww, I put us back in the forties: 49.4. Well, I sure learned my lesson -- two weeks in a row I went over with my FPs and finally it caught up with me! I guess I might have been testing the limits of the system a little...

So, 2 pounds back up, and back on stricter counting I go!

Congrats to you losers...and man, let's lose that fish! In fact, let's lose that fish's whole family!!

Just got back from WI--down 3.4

Group total: 52.8

Woohoo-we kick butt

Way to go Steph. Congratulations.

I think we need to raise the goal from 60 to maybe 75. I bet we can do it.

LizzieW - you know what you need to do Next week you'll stun us all with your gigantic drop!

Stephanie - WTG on the loss, great work!

Dawn - I'm not googling any more weights, all those fishies that turned up were pretty gross! Let's just see how far we can get... Then next month we'll have a better idea of what a goal should be.

SuiteJudy, you are just too funny. Yes the fish that is posted is just plain ugly.....Maybe thats what we need to see though...We're carrying something around thats not real pretty....I'm not trying to offend anyone though. I saw my nephew the other day....I am carrying a small person around in excess weight...thats awful. Oh well, thats why I'm here...and soon, it will be gone.

Dawn

Well here's a happy-ish story: I had moved stuff around in my bathroom during the past week -- carpets, decorations, and the scale -- and after my weigh-in this morning I decided that I preferred everything back where it was (not to mention my weight LOL!). So I put all the stuff back, and just on a whim re-weighed myself. Mind you, at this point I'd had breakfast and lunch since this morning's sad WI, but was I surprised to see my weight back down to 177!

I decided that perhaps my scale was just wrong...and that got me worried: what if I really weighed, well, a whole lot more! So I went out and bought a new, much nicer scale, put it in the same spot, and even after dinner: 177! So, I guess I just maintained...which I really don't deserve, but I'll take it! So...if I remove my "gain," our group weight-loss can go to 54.8 (and my new scale does the fractions thing now so woo!), and I will still take this little scare as a warning to not push the outside of that points envelope so hard! SuiteJ you are right ON!

Congrats to all you ladies working so hard on this -- I'm with you!

OMG! I never thought about it like that. I am carrying more than my 6 year old daughter around. WOW! That is a scary thought. Thanks for the eye-opener Dawn!

Chrissy

Sorry guys, I have to add back onto the total. I gained 1.8, so we're down to 53 pounds. I wasn't going to post this, but it's all about accountability, right?

I didn't have a good week last week but I totally got back on the wagon since Monday and was expecting to at least maintain.

It was funny, after the meeting last night I was so hungry that I felt sick. I had a horrible pain in my stomach and I was afraid I had a virus that's been going around. My husband made me eat some soup and I felt so much better. I've been hungry before but never to the point where my stomach hurt so bad that I couldn't stand up straight! So lesson learned, I can't let myself go for as long without food on weigh-in day as I did yesterday. (I ate lunch around 11, had a 1 point yogurt around 2, and weigh-in was at 6).

Sorry, that was random. Anyway, group total 53.0.

Amy,

I'm sorry you gained, but I'm glad you posted. Thats what we are here for - for the good and the bad. I'm sure at some point we all will have a not so good week. I think thats what makes a winner, someone who doesnt give up! I'm glad your back on program. Yay for you!!!


Happy Valentines Day everyone.

Dawn

I'm glad you posted it too. It is about accountability. The group total is just a silly afterthought, so don't worry about it too much! I also have a pretty terrible physical reaction when I go that long without food.... I'm glad you were able to feel better when you got home!!

Ok, UP 1 pound on Wed and then down 2 pounds today. Going to call that 1 pound loss for the week just to be accurate. Yep...2 weigh in's this week. Apparently WW allows you to go to as many meetings as you want but you can only count one WI (I knew that actually) but...well, I am taking my average (ha) I need it after my bad, bad week last week!

Group total 54

PS--I am thinking of changing my WI day back to Friday...so tho I am technically "cheating" in this report, by strict WW standards there is a thought process going on....

I weighed in last night and I almost cried! I'm down 4.2lbs! It was my best week yet! I'm positively giddy.

Add to this that I was on vacation this week, where chain restaurants (and thus known Points values) were not available, so I had to guesstimate a lot of the time. AND, I even ate peach cobbler while I was on vacation!

Awesome WL, aero.

Amy, I'm so proud of you, I know you've been struggling and I am just so proud that you are not giving up. That's strength, girl!! Keep at it!
