Hiya!! I just joined WW tonight... and my goal is to lose 109 pounds (ultimately) although we're going 10 pounds at a time, and aiming high for my 10% goal (24 pounds!)
I'm going to need LOTS of support over this first week especially!
hi, welcome! it seems daunting at first, but you have the right idea. small goals = big ones. a little at a time. and don't worry, i had a hard time my first week, too. but once i stepped on the scale and saw the results, it was a lot easier to keep going. you can do this!
Wow,,,,I had a post all done,,,and went to send it and poff,,,GONE,, said can't find server,,,so anyway hi to you all and can't really remember what I was talking about in the post,,,,,
I know one thing was a welcome to MtaTJac,,,, Good luck and nice to see you,,I am pretty new here also ,,,lots of nice people here,,,your small 10 goals are great and work best for me also,,,and of course putting it all on paper really helps me out ,,,,but have a hard time making myself do it,,,I do great for a while and then get lazy !!1
Hope all is going well with you all ,,,,talk to you soon,,,,have a great day,,,
Later,,Jeanne
Jeanne, Thanks for the welcome I agree that putting it on paper is important! I think it helped me to succeed yesterday!
Yesterday I wrote down EVERYTHING that went in my mouth and calculated the points BEFORE it went in. That helped me to stay on track, or so I like to think
Sure hope this finds everyone in a great mood and looking forward to a new day,,,,
Am so glad that the keeping track of your intake helped you out,,,I know it is not always easy,,,but hang in there it got better for me,,,and it will you to,,,
Well this is short ,,,I am out the door for work,,,take care all,,Jeanne
well, i weighed in! and yes, i dropped 1.8 pounds! so now i'm starting to make up for that 3 i gained last week. ooooooops. i'm ecstatic about moving forward again, yay!
Good morning all. This is my first time to post here but I've been on the other boards. I started in January at 224. My goal is to lose 104 to be down to 120. When I started I didn't think to set small goals for myself but as my journey has progressed I've decided to set goals of 10 or 15 each. It's helped me. So far I've lost 24.4lbs. So i'm almost a 1/4 of the way to my ultimate goal. I think to me the first 25 have been the hardest. Usually by now I've given up. This time though, with support from my friends and family, and 3FC gang I'm doing this. I will not give up this time.
Looking forward to chatting more with ya'll later.
Chrissy,,,wow,,,199,,,under 200,,that has to make you very happy,,I know it would me,,,it's just a number but for some reason 199 feels so much better than 200 !!! good for you,,,
MtaTJac,,,sounds like you are on the right track for sure,,,I had a wonderful day yesterday,,,not a lot of folks out,,,but was nice and slow,,,I am sure they are all saving it up to come out on friday night for Kereoke,,,ha ha,,,
Rahkstar,,,,,congrats on the wt loss,,,
DNR,,,you crack me up,,,you think like me,,,I usually think the same way,,,butter,,,burger,,,one lb,,so forth,,,,sure makes it real in your mind that way,,,a pound of burger is alot,,,,good for you !!
Hope I didn't leave anyone out,,,I'm out the door for work,,,talk to you all soon and hope your day is the very best,,,,later,,Jeanne
Chrissy, Small goals are definately great! I think part of why I failed so much in the past was because I kept staring at that HUGE number!! Now I try not to think about it at all... and so far, so good!
Jeanne, have a great night at work
Today I'm doing good!! I tried one of the Smart Ones meals, and for the first time I didn't like it. I normally love them, so that was odd! But I only ate half of it, so I'm trying to figure out how to count the points...
