I am completely shocked at how well WW's is working for me. I don't know if it's because I've really been doing good on my workouts, even getting extra ones in, or if I'm not figuring up my points correctly and maybe overshooting it. I have a hard time figuring out points sometimes, like this weekend we had a beef roast and vegetables in the crockpot and I ate it all weekend long for lunch and dinner and even grabbed a potato or carrot out occasionally when I'd be in the kitchen. Well I really wasn't sure how many points to count, so maybe I counted too many because with all the mexican food I pigged out on Friday night I don't see how I'm 3 pounds lighter this morning. I'm definitely not complaining, I'm just shocked. I have had a really great couple of weeks as far as weight loss goes, but I'm really not seeing it in my clothes. I'll be going down a point if I still weigh 240 or less on Friday.
I used to get the unwich at jimmy john's when I was doing low carb. I haven't had it in awhile. Since I've been doing WW's I've been having bread again, although I do take off half the bun when I get a burger or arby's sandwich.
I'm excited because I hit a new low and finally got under 240 pounds for the first time since 1999! I can't really share the news here at work because we are supposed to be keeping our weight loss a secret so nobody knows who is ahead until the final weigh in. I don't want to jinx myself, but if I can keep the scale moving at this pace I should definitely win this one. It's a winner takes all, so no second or third this time. The pot is $180. Of course since I weigh more than most in the challenge I have to lose more to get my percentage up.
I came in under points today so yay! I feel like I ate plenty but still came in under. I'm a bit worried about weighing this week (I only do it once a week, otherwise I'd do it all the time) because of TOM, but...it will all be okay in the long run.
I hope to stay on plan today. I bought a honey cake for dessert tonight and despite wanting some for lunch as well, I managed to say no to it. Looking forward to it, just hope it doesn't end up being a trigger food.
I hope everyone is having a good day so far. I just had my breakfast, low sugar maple and brown sugar oatmeal...yum!!
Has anyone heard of nutritious snacks from graze.com? I was given a code by a friend of mine and I received my first box for free and will also get my 5th box for free as well. I received my box on Friday and had my first snack out of it yesterday. It is really good, and comes with the nutritional values in the box so I can figure my points for each snack. I got the light box, 4 snacks total, 2 are 4 points each and one is 2 points and the other is 1 point. If anyone is interested, check out their website, I have 4 friendcodes available if anyone wants to join, let me know & I will get you the code.
I'm thinking of joining WW for nursing mothers. I'm hungry all the time, and miserable because I want to lose weight. Has this worked for anyone else and what kind of things do you eat? My baby boy is 4 months I breastfeed exclusively.
I'm new here. My name is Wendy.
