Do you mind if I join you all on this thread? I started WW points on my own 1/10 so I am not as new as some of you. But since I am not going to meetings I figure I need all the support I can get. I have been able to stay OP pretty well and have lost 11 lbs so far.

Blessings,
Robin

Hi Kathy! Yay one more day you have done so well. Peanuts are terrible. They are so small and innocent looking. I know once we open a can they are gonners. Hee hee. I did worse though. My husband bought kit kat bites and I kept telling him to take them out of the house etc etc. Then I ate them. He keeps buying stuff that I have no resistance to. grrrrrrr. He does this a lot. he definately is an enabler to my being fat. But I did stop after about 15 of them and I guess I will have to skip lunch to make up for it.

I haven't checked yet to see if windsong started our cool new thread. Sounds like fun having a group of WW chicks to share with.

Hi Robin,

Congratulations on your weight loss so far. You are really doing well with no meetings. I hope you will come and join our new little group. I think we could really have a lot to offer each other. So I hope to hear from you soon. Take care and have a great day.

Well, here is my problem. I am a procrastinating chicken. I need to go and join and make it official in my little brain. But I keep finding excuses. They actually call it mom, dad, and me classes. And it is just a meeting where the majority of people will not be irritated by your child because they will have their child there also. There is no child care they said but just a lot of parents with their children. I called yesterday though and they said I could join any meeting this week and then go to different ones anytime. but I still haven't gone in. And the real issue is that I know I am going to weigh more than I have EVER weighed in my life. I have gained and lost but this time I REALLY GAINED. So I have been avoiding the scale. And I need to just go do it.

There is a WW "store" right by me. They have at least 4 different meetings every day. There is NO excuse.

Wish me luck ladies. I may becoming physically ill after getting on the scale.

Okay, I will check in later. I hope you are all having a great WEDNESDAY

Hey Girly,
Don't give up!!! I know how you are feeling. I am the heaviest I have ever been!! I will be 38 yrs. old next month and every year I start the New Year with an idea that I am going to lose a lot of weight and I go strong for about 2 weeks and give up. This year I am 10 lbs. more than last. I binge eat and then say "I'll start tomorrow". This has only taken me in the wrong direction. You need to start TODAY!! Even if you don't attend a meeting. Make small steps, like drink more water. This is my own advice I am trying to live by. It's hard but you have to be determined to do it now. I just got weighed after my first week at WW and I lost 4.8 lbs. YEA!!! That is better than gaining. Keep your head up. I know the depression you feel.

girly · 02-02-2005, 06:31 PM

Thank You. I appreciate your words of encouragement. I think you are right. I am going to drink a ton of water but I do need to get in and join cuz I am just putting off facing reality. And that is not going to help me. I know that I have to face where I am to make any changes.

Congratulations on your weight loss. I know we can do this. For more than two weeks too. Hee hee.

Maybe in two weeks we are all going to be in here struggling and looking for the answers. Maybe this time I will spend the first two weeks trying to find the answers instead of being suprised when I run out of the determination I start with. Obviously it is in me or I would never have the first few good weeks. So where does it go????

Anyway, I hope we can all keep encouraging each other.

momto2 · 02-02-2005, 08:26 PM

OH Girly I hope you went to join! I live in a VERY rural area, so having a meeting so close kind of helped kick me in the pants. We will have meetings for 12 weeks and if there is enough interest we will continue to have them for another 12 weeks. I am hoping there will be interest!

girly · 02-02-2005, 11:42 PM

momto2,

I had all intentions of joining the 7pm meeting tonight and my husband showed up early from school and wanted took up all of my time. grrrrrr. I guess I don't realize how lucky I am to have such availability of meetings. So I need to get with the program. I guess in a way I am hoping I will drop 30 pounds before I have to get on the dreaded scale. But after doing okay all week I know I will still be devestated when I find out the horrible number. Tomorrow at 12:15 I have plans to be stepping on the official ww scale. And that is that. So, no more excuses. I will be there.

Do you have a lot of people coming to your meetings? Do you think the meetings will continue? I hope so. I will check in later.

Take care

Windsong did start a new thread called ladies of shangrala thursday. I hope we all can keep in touch through this thread. It would be wonderful if on top of having great support in our weight loss efforts if we also made some great friends. So.... hope we can all migrate to a new thread and be the big ww losers together.

We all have so much to offer each other. I have to go to bed I am only going to get three hours of sleep. I can't wait to check in this afternoon.

I hope you are all having a great day. Talk to you soon.

momto2 · 02-03-2005, 06:57 PM

I looked but I could not find the thread

but will look again. I have been going pretty strong for 5 days now still keeping under my points, hopefully the scale will refect it Saturday.

Last Saturday (the first) meeting we had about 23 people there. I really hope the meetings will continue, if not I thinking about signing up on line, I need all of the support I need.

I under stand the shell shock of the scale, I knew just about what I wieghted then the ww scale was about 20 pounds heavier, I about fainted. But then I thought it can only get better.

girly · 02-03-2005, 07:23 PM

momto2 Hi!!! That is a good idea to sign up online if the meetings don't continue. I got a code at my meeting today that let me do the e tools at ww site. So I went there. It was really a nice site. And you can track your points and weight and eveything. The code was for two weeks free but I might continue???? Its actually hard for me to drag the baby to meetings. She wasn't very pleasant today. hee hee. Anyway, hopefully your meetings will continue. But we are here for you no matter what!!!!!! 5 days is great. I am having a hard time getting through day one. I bet you are going to be very happy on Saturday. I can't wait to hear how you did. I work Fri night but I will still check in.

I agree. As far as my weight goes it can only get better. Heaven forbid I continue on this upward spiral.

And boy oh boy was I shocked. In fact I think I might have PTSD from it. Just kidding.

Oh, okay the shangrala thread. I was just quickly going to jump on and tell you where it is. It is under WWgeneral (same place this thread is) in fact I think it is right under the thread we are in now. Hope you find it.

I will check in later. Have to go the baby is abusing the dog.

LADY WINDSONG · 02-04-2005, 03:26 AM

Come join us DAILY at the Ladies of Shangrala.
Girly has asked me to start it and I am pleased to do so.

It is here at WW General.

Looking forward to getting to know and learn from each of you.

Health and Happiness,
