Hi everyone. I just started on Weight Watchers this past Monday. I'd been starting to writing down everything I ate a little bit before I joined, so I think the journaling will work out for me. Though it was a huge shock seeing how many points some of my favorite foods were!

Anyway, I joined WW after exercising my butt off for a month and a half and not having any results, not even an ounce, though I do feel a lot better about myself and definitely feel more in shape. Just wasn't fitting into smaller clothes.

Fooled, welcome!!!!!!!! Glad to have you here. :welcome3:

It is a little surprising how many points our favorite foods, but that is what got us here.

Thanks for the support Carobelle. I really appreciate it.

You know what my mom and I used to do? When we would weigh in, that night would be our splurge night. If we craved anything in that week, we would wait till WI to splurge. We would not count it. And believe it or not, we still would lose. I haven't done it in a while. I just eat what I like, just smaller.

Anyway, I bought the new WW ice cream. It is the bomb!!! I really like it. I've had the mint choc. chip and turtle sundae. I also bought those new Quacker choc snack cakes. They are also so good. I'm always looking for new and healthier food.

Well, I wanna wish everyone luck this week. See ya!!!

I guess I'm the first to weigh in this week.

Not a good week, but I knew it wouldn't be. I'm up 1.6 ti 164.8. I want to see a -20 on my book. I NEED to see it. I've been hanging around this area (between -15 and -19) for SO long I think -20 may have left town!!!!!

Keep it up Nancy you can do it. We're not quitters, we're winners.

I lost 0.6 of my 4.4 gain from last week. I also want to hit a 20 pound loss. I would love to hit my 10%. One day, I'll get there. Just like you'll hit 20. Also, we just found out that tonight was our leader's last night. She said that it was too much driving from her full time job to the meetings, then home. I hope the next leader will be just as good as her.

Hope everyone has a loser week.

I did well on my first week. I lost five pounds. I know that people tend to lose more weight on their first week of WW than they would normally, but still, I'm just psyched that the program actually works, after having failed at others (okay, I'm also psyched at the loss, too! :D)

Morning All,
I lost 1/2 a pound this week... taking me half a pound under the original WW goal I set myself way back when! This is the lowest I have been (have been around this for a few weeks now) since I put on all my weight 5 years ago!

Actually that makes it sound bad, and I don't want to discourage anyone and have you think it's taken me all this time to lose that weight, but really I just lost enough in the beginning that I could shop in 'normal' stores again and then lost focus a bit and didn't follow the program too ridgidly (or at times at all...whoops) for a long while. But since being back on track it's going really well!

So 37 lbs later, I can say yes Fooled, it sure does work... and a great first week spurs you on doesn't it!? You'll be at your silver seven in a flash (do they do that where you are? Maybe it's just an english thing as they work in stones and pounds here so 7lbs is half a stone and a bit of a milestone too...gotta love a sparkly 7 sticker in your book to show what you've achieved!)

And Shanell, you talk about a splurge after weigh in... wow did I have one last night!

Have a great week Ladies

Caro

Congratulations on meeting your initial goal! That's awesome.

They do something similar, I think. I think on your first five pound loss you get a bookmarkish type thing, and you get a gold star with a five on it. So I got one of those yesterday. I felt unsuitably giddy about it. I think you also get a key chain thing when you get to your 10% goal. At least that's what the leader at my meeting said.

And it does spur me on. Mondays are my long days. I've got working out and the meeting in the morning, and then I work, and Mondays are my longest workday (literally has the most hours, not that it feels the longest after a weekend). I was so tempted while I was at work yesterday to just stuff myself to break up the monotony. Remembering those five pounds I don't ever have to have on me again if I'm careful really helped.

*Haven't weighed since the 9th...of april.

Starting weight 205.5
Todays weight 178.00 (down 5 pounds since the 9th)
Small goal 169
Ultimate goal 132

down 27.5 so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yeppie

Hey ladies!!! No one posts on here anymore. Is anyone still working it? I am. I have lost 1.6 this week. Yay!!!! I am soooo happy!!!! Now I only need to lose 2.2 to be were I was before I went on vacation.

Hope everyone has a wonderful loser week!!!!!

Hey All,
Congratulations Shanell!
And yes I'm still here, not as many people seem to weigh on Mondays (post-weekend fear perhaps!) and I guess those of us that do are all caught up in the beginning of a new week... that thursday lot seem to natter all week long!

I am happy to say I am a loser this week! I lost another pound. Have 3 weeks before I'll be on off surfing, first holiday with the boyfriend! Am sort of wondering how close I could get to my goal, but actually think I'll just concentrate on fitness...

Hope everyone else (if there is anyone!) is doing well.
Will try and pop in more regularly!

Caro

I lost this week, down 1.6 pounds as well, and that was after a bridal shower and a Sunday dinner involving homemade mac and cheese, and a less than what I consider stellar exercise week. I'm so happy this program works.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you don't mind me joining in ... I've just found out that WW have started to run a meeting on Monday nights close to where I live, so I'll be joining up tomorrow. I've been trying to go it alone for a long time now without success and I know that I really do need the support of weekly meetings.

I went to WW about 3 years ago and I did like the plan, but I gave up going to meetings as they were quite a way from where I live, and having to battle through the evening rush hour traffic to get there every week drove me nuts. Thankfully, I can no longer use that as an excuse not to go!

I feel really excited about joining the meetings and can't wait to get started on the plan. I'll come back and post again after I've weighed in tomorrow night.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Everyone!
 

Iv'e just joined this site and so I'm just finding my way around...
I joined a WW class several yrs ago after the death of my son and gaining a huge amount of weight, so with the plan in place I lost a lot of the added bulge.

However life/grief got in the way and I fell off the wagon and I stopped attending and a lot of the weight has crept back on.
So...Here I am, having just thrown out the rubbish (the ex lol) I'm ready to reclaim my life !
I started the plan by myself at home last Monday and saw this little group last night !!!

So please help me everyone I want to grow old disgracefully and be slim and sexy :dizzy:

Hey guys! I'm still a bit new myself, so I don't know if I should be doing the official welcoming, but what the heck, welcome to the forum. It is a great, really encouraging, and really helpful community. I know you'll both get the support neccesary for this journey. Good luck.

I guess I get to be the first to post my results, since my meeting is in the morning. It's funny, the second I come home from my meeting, the first things I want to do is email my mom at work my results and then fix my ticker on here. Any way, I had a pretty good week, down another 1.8 pounds. 220's, here I come!

Hello everyone! I started Weight Watchers back in November. I lost 11 pounds in two months but I shortly stopped after that because of a lack of motivation. Luckly, I only gained one pound since then. Now that I found this forum I hope that doesn't happen again.

I'm doing WW at home. Today was my first weigh-in from being back. I lost one pound. So I'm back where I was during my last weigh-in in December. This week I plan on eating more vegetables and cutting back on rice.
