kim you can do this the support here is so so great

Hi everyone,

I'd like to take part. I've not been on WW long, but it's going pretty well so far. I'd like to lose 20 pounds by Thanksgiving.

welcome amy good luck to you thanks for joining the group

Oh sorry, I forgot to update. At my last weigh in I was 217 pounds.

WE ROCK!!!!!

Oh my god, I would just like to thank all of you ladies for joining me. We are all strong and we are going to do this. You all have such positive things to say, and I just want to say thank you.

Well welcome to all of you and thanks for joining us. I think that this will be a really good and successful challenge because it's short and we are not going to let it get boring. I would like for all of us to post as often as possible and talk about anything. I wouls love to here some of you're stories, tips and for you to share your favorite recipes.

Good Luck Everyone, and wish me luck (I weigh in tomarrow)

goodluck on your weigh tomorrow
I walk 2 miles a day its great excercise had to work up to it believe me it used to tire me out just walking to the mail box when i was at my highest i walk every morning or else in the evening depending on the weather its my son and my time together he loves the fresh and mommy loves the excercise. so girls move move move!!! you got to move to lose

I love bocca burgers they are 1 pt and the flame grilled ones give you that burger king kind of flavor i love them

thomas english muffins the light ones the ones with the most fiber are one pt for the entire muffin put some pizza sauce on whatever the serving size iso n the jar mine i have is 0 pts and then i buy the low fat cheese the one i have 1/4 is 2 pts and heat the oven to 400 let the cheese melt and its a great treat like having mini pizza

I just re-started today and I am up for the challenge. I want to lose 22 pounds, which would put me in Onederland (and it is also my 10% goal ). This would require 3 2/3 pounds a week, which is going to take a lot of work. Good luck everyone!!! We all can do this!

So far the challenge has gone well for me-how about you all?
I have found myself snacking a bit too much, and that needs to stop! I have a question for you guys..
I'm on the current WW program, and in the quick track booklets there is a section where you cross out your activity points as you earn them (the aim is 28/wk.). Do you only earn APs if they are not eaten?

Hope all is well with you!
Molly

Also..
if I don't eat the APs I've earned that particular day, can they be saved for use later on in the week?
Thanks!

My reward for reaching my goal is the satisfaction of knowing I can do it and feeling better. When I lose 50lbs I will reward myself with new clothes. :-)

Yes, Irishmolly, the AP are the same as the flex points, in that you may use them during the week (or not use them at all). Once the week is done they vanish. Hope this helps . I am still on day one, so I can't really report my sucess yet...at least I ate my points today, and didn't use any flex points. I was too busy to exercise today (sounds like an excuse, but between being a full-time Engineering student at the University of Florida and being a single mother, I had no time). Good luck everyone!!!

hey look at all us great women on here stepping up the miss mccoy challenge for thanksgiving how about it girls how great we are . i'm so excited. my weighs in our on tuesday with weight watchers but, hey i walked 2 miles again yesterday waiting on the lil one to wake up this morning then we will walk come in have some breakfast then its off to do the grocery shopping .. big yuck

i meant are on tuesday i cant tell its 6:30 in the morning.. lol

I have a suggestion for the weigh in day. Since Thanksgiving is on a Thursday, I think that should be our weigh in day. Say someone has a pound or two left to reach their goal on the Monday before Thanksgiving and then they do reach it by Thanksgiving, the goal is met. I just think it would be easier that way and would let us know on each weigh-in day how many weeks we have left. Let me know what everyone thinks. I hope everyone is staying strong. Our families are going to be so excited for us when we all get together for Thanksgiving, and we will be excited as well . Talk to you guys soon.

Thanks, UFSeniorGirl!
I'm fine with either Mondays or Thursdays as weigh-in. I'd want to weigh in early on Thursday, though, before our feast!
Fridays are my relaxing days-no classes! So I just had my breakfast and will be off to the gym shortly.
Take care, ladies! Talk to you soon!
Molly
