Hey everyone! Congrats to the losers! I weighed in today and lost 3.0!!!

Start Weight for Challenge: 203.8
Current Weight for Challenge: 200.8
Goal Weight for New Year's: 195

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Way to go on the loss, Charity.

Congrats Charity!!! That's a great WI day! You should be proud!

I had a minor detour today but not enough to put me out of whack. I made the WW French Onion soup tonight from the WW site. It's very good. And only 4 pts per serving. I had 2 servings as it was my full meal tonight.

Didn't get as much done today as I hoped to get done but it's over and done. Tomorrow is a new day.

Have a good night everyone

Tonight all I have wanted to do is EAT. I thought I was pigging out and going to be in big trouble. I had written everything I ate down on a piece of paper. After watching some tv I journaled it all in my spreadsheet. I was shocked to see that I still had 2 points for the day, because I had made some real good choices while "pigging out". I am so happy. Now if only the scales will show that in the morning.

Hello everyone,

I haven't posted for a week or so. I haven't lose any weight, but I haven't gained any either. I am still trying to get back into the routine of weight watchers. I am doing it at home - no meetings- because money is tight and I can't afford meetings right now. I haven't been trying as much as I could be. I have started a long term placement at a school (supply teacher) and I have to prepare the whole school, grade JK to grade 8, for a Christmas concert. The music teacher went off suddenly, don't know why. I was thrown into preparing this concert and the kids have just started the music. Pray for me.
I know the fast pace will force me to eat healthy because the school is in the county and I have to pack my own lunches (ww frozen meals and fruit). There are no fast food places for miles. I have to leave by 7:30 a.m., so that forces me to eat a quick bowl of high fiber cereal in the morning. My night time is where the challenge will be. I tend to pig out then to help me unwind.
Anyway, I am going to start this 10lb challenge. The school is huge and I am at the farthest end from the office, staff room and photo copy machine. I make a point to walk the length of the school several times a day to get in some steps on the pedometer.
Take care and I'll try to find the time to post regularly while I rehearse Christmas songs with the kiddies. If I hear one more carol after the 14th (concert date), I may have to have myself committed. Sorry Just kidding.

Chris, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It's a rough time of year for something like that. His wife is lucky to have you looking out for her. And good for you for making healthy pig out choices!
Regina, congrats! You're doing awesome!
Kelly, Congrats on your loss! 4 lbs is awesome! ONEderland here you come!
Charity, Congrats on your loss!
Rosegarden, I've made that soup before and I agree it's very good!
Tracy, Good luck with the concert. That sounds like quit a chore! Good luck!!

So at WI today I was down 3.4. So that was good! However tonight my family is driving me nuts. Putting me in the middle of all of their problems. So instead of being good. I've pigged out and used 13 of my flex points on crap. Oh well, tomorrow's another day. That's the beauty of WW. I totally pigged out and yet I haven't "broken" my diet. I hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Thanks everyone!

Crazynette, congrats on your loss.

Chris, good luck at weigh in!!!

Well it is WI day and there is no change in the tickers. Nothing lost and nothing gained. I was so afraid I had gained. This is the second time I have maintained since starting back on WW in mid September. Luckily I have not had a gain.

This week's goals...
1. Get back on the treadmill
2. Stop eating so much junky foods (yes, I stayed within points but it wasn't eating as healthy as I could have)
3. Get the house cleaned (oops that isn't weight related is it?)

Well my starting weight for the Dec challange is 192, I'd like to be 182 by new years. We will see. I have used my treadmill a couple of times, gonna keep trying to do that. I know I haven't lost any weight but for some reason I don't "feel" as fat today. Even if I don't manage 10 lbs if I can just loose something I think I'll be ok with that. Ya'll have a great day and I'll post again soon.

My goal is 10 pounds as well. I have to get my butt on the treadmill as well. I went to my first meeting in a couple of years this morning. I don't like their scales...all though I know I wasn't nude, it was first thing in the morning so I had eaten and drank water. Wish there was an early morning Monday group. Yesterday (my WI day at home) I was 260 but today at the meeting I was 266.8. Guess that isn't bad as compared to my wi in the nude on an empty stomach.

Congrats to everyone! I did my weigh in today and down 4lbs!!! So only 6 more to reach my Christmas Goal. Had a hard weekend. Our company had our annual Christmas Party and then my parents pulled out all the candy and goodies they brought us back from England... I only had my favorite and will keep the rest for a treat here and there when I have the points for them...

Anna, what a great weight loss. Sounds like a good plan with the candy.

Great loss Anna! Good luck with the candy!

Hi all,
Chris, I agree with you! I don't like their scales either!! I can stand on my scale with clothes on right before I walk out the door, drive to the mtgs, and I've gained 2 pounds. There must me something in my car that makes the pounds pack on! Oh, well as long as both scales are going down, I guess it doesn't really matter what the numbers are.
Justin'smom, welcome!
Anna, Congrats on the loss! and good plan with the candy!

I've had a pretty good day! Went to a Christmas concert that's a tradition for my family. It was as awesome this year as it always is! Now I'm definitely in the Christmas spirit!!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

I have been told that the scales are WW are to be considered more reliable. Someone I can't go that when they are used as much as they are. Maybe they recalibrate them every day. I don't know. But you are right as long as they are going down I guess it doesn't matter.
