Has this ever happened to you?

I looked at my weight tracker to motivate myself because I've been having a hard week. I thought that I was only 2lbs away from 5% and I was thinking if I worked really hard and held my mouth the right way I might reach that goal at my weigh-in on Friday...but my leader added my weight loss incorrectly last week and I'm 3lbs away from 5%, not 2lbs.

Guess I have to wait at least one more week to get that goal.

Any tips for staying motivated? This is so hard!

You were 214 when you started. Now you are 170. So u have lost 40 lbs. Your goal weight is 125. So you have to lose 89lbs total. Out of that you have lost 40. Another 4.5lbs and you would attain 50% weightloss.
That is really great.keep up the good work.

I didn't look at it that way...I've only just started WW (again) lol.

If your leader did the math wrong, let them know. They are only human.

Mine is terrible at math, we have to correct her all the time!

Mine told me I GAINED 0.4 lbs this past week. I didn't have my weight tracker with me (forgot it at home) so she wrote it on the sticker for me to add into my book. When I went to add it into the book, I actually LOST 0.4 lbs this week (assuming she wrote the correct weight!). But I guess they'll fix it next week... :/

I have had that happen every once in a while in the past. They're only human, after all. It was very easy to fix at the next weigh-in, and they've always been happy to resolve it.

The most recent center I was (a couple years ago) at actually had computers! (Crazy, right?) They scanned our cards, and it automatically did the math, then printed out a sticker that we simply put into the weight tracker. Very efficient, and I never saw a mistake with it.

Wait, the computer doesn't do it automatically for them?

barbara--as lovely mentioned, some centers have an automated system, some do not. Mine doesn't.
