Thursday Chatters in the Fall
 

Hi group! :)
Time really flies, doesn't it!

This is the place to talk about losing weight and how to do it. We give encouragement and have fun!!!

I have not been staying OP. Larry (husband) retired and we have been traveling and eating too much. Oops.
Today is a new day.
We can do this!

:flow1:

Yahoo!!!!!! I updated my tracker and I've lost 4 pounds.
:dance: :dance:
I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast and a green salad w/ tuna or canned chicken for lunch. Supper is usually chicken and several veggies.
I like the Fiber One treats for my afternoon snacks. I'm trying to exercise 3 times a week.

How is everyone doing? Please let us hear from you!

:flow2:

Weighed in at a meeting this morning and am down another pound this week. Hope I can continue at this pace. How is everyone else doing?

Hi! Can I jump in here? I just switched from calorie counting to weight watcher's old points system. I still have my old books and found a great app to use. I'll officially be at 1 wk on Saturday morning. I don't think I'm making great food choices but I am staying within my points. I work full time, a wife and a mom....I really need to plan my meals better and get them healthier! Lean cuisine, along with green giant steam veggies has been my go to this week.

Hi Amy, welcome!!!!!

How is everyone doing???

:flow1:

Happy Sunday!

:dance:

Stayed the same last week. This week I did not stay OP, but still managed to lose 2.6 pounds. Not sure how I did it, but guess I was just lucky. Sunday is my birthday, so not sure how I will do next week. Hope everyone has a good week.

Hi all
I'm new to the forum and I'm on my third WW Week. I'm doing it from home on my own (well, with my partner :-)), as I just ordered the basic starter pack and two cookbooks.
So far, it works pretty well but my biggest challenge is the planning meals and cooking. I just feel it's all I do after a long day at work. There are good days and bad days, obviously, but currently I'm struggling a bit with the time it consumes.
What are your tricks?
cheers!

It's been a while
 

Hi, everyone. I know it's been awhile since I've posted. I've been going through a rough time right now. (That's what happens when a twenty year relationship goes down the tubes.) But I don't want to think of that right now...I'm back and want to stay on track. I still *grins* have that pesky writer's conference coming up in April...and I want to lose at least twenty - twenty five more pounds. I think I can do it...that's only 5 lbs a month.

Amazingly enough...I haven't gained any weight - just maintained and lost maybe a pound and half. Now, however I have the opposite problem than when I started. Because of stress, I'm simply not hungry. So Im trying healthy light snacks...and eating several times a day instead of three meals.

Maybe being here will help bring my appetite back.

Dakota :^:

Hi all,
It's great to have new people here!!!!!
Dakota, I'm glad you are back...so sorry about the problems, though.
Stress never makes me not want to eat :lol:. Continue to eat healthy and you will be down to your goal weight.
I'm still plodding along. I need my metabolism to kick in again.

Everyone have a great OP week.
:flow2:

How is everyone doing this week????? :)

Hi everyone

haven't been here for a while - I've been so off the wagon it's horrible I've regained over half the weight I lost in the first 6 months of the year - I'm so sick of me - - and everyday I get up and say this is the day I'm sticking to program - well it hasn't been happening for almost 5 months - I'm back - out goes the halloween candy and any other junk that's in my apartment.

welcome to all the newcomers - this is a great thread

maureen

Hi Maureen, I know what you are saying. I just can't keep the weight off. Of course, I have stopped exercising.
Since Larry retired, I just eat too much. I've never eaten 3 big meals a day.
So, now I'm cutting back.

We can do this!!!!!

Hi all,

I wish you all a very :thanks1:

:flow1:

well again I'm back!! this is just awful - I've gained almost 20 lbs since august - I feel like crap - so again - I'm on day 1 - I've entered everything in my tracker - and I promise to myself I will stick to my plan

Hope all you American ladies have a great Thanksgiving and stick to program

we're all worth it

Maureen

Hi all,
Maureen, I feel your pain! We can do this!!!!!!!

How is everyone else?

:flow1:

Hello all,
Is everyone getting ready for the holidays? It's a fun time of the year. For now, I'm cooking healthy meals. With all the goodies beginning to be made, we need healthy stuff. :lol:

:flow1:

Hello everyone! Weighed in this morning and lost 2.8 pounds this week for a total of 42.6 so far. I can tell I am losing because my clothes are getting big, but it just doesn't seem like I have lost that much......not that I am complaining. I gained 1.2 pounds over Thanksgiving, but managed to take 1.8 off the next week. Hoping I can do as well over the Christmas Holiday. Hope everyone is doing well and and stays OP over the holidays.

Hi all,
Dawn, :dance: You are doing fantastic!!!!! Wow, taking off that Thanksgiving weight is something. Keep it up.
Next week, I am going back to walking. Our weather has been it's usual warm. I keep wondering if January will bring freezing temps.

Everyone keep up believing in yourself.

:flow1:

Lost another 1.4 this week and reached my third mini goal of 15% weight loss. Set my next mini goal for a 50 pound total weight loss. Just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other and stay focused. Hope everyone had a good week.

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!!

sorry I haven't been here for a bit - still plugging away - I'm off now until January 5th when I go back to work - I'm trying to paint my condo - I really shouldn't have even started - I'm doing the living room right now - I really don't like doing this kind of stuff - oh well hopefully I'll be done in a day or two(just the living room for now)
hope everyone had a great Christmas

Hi all, It's almost a new year. My goodness, this year has flown by.

Has ANYONE heard about WW's new year program?????
I am going back to a meeting next week. I'll let everyone know what I learn, if no one has been.

:flow1:

Hi Tina

I was at a meeting on Saturday and was told the new plan was in but I don't see much difference - maybe I heard wrong!! I got your Christmas card today - thank you - I must admit it's sure nice getting something in the mail other than statements!!

Maureen, I cannot believe the card just now got to you! That is ridiculous.
Thanks for the meeting info.
