Default Weigh-In Here!

I don't officially weigh in until Monday, so I'm not ready to post here yet, but I'll start this thread so we can all keep track of each other's progress and not miss an opportunity to console or congratulate one another. Is this OK with everyone? So, if you want, come to this thread after your official weigh in (either at home or at a meeting) and let us know how you did!

I'll go! Saturday is my WI day. Remember that bad week I've had? Well, I did something right this week, somehow! I lost .8! I'll take it.

I'm going to do better this week!

Steph...I honestly think that what you just said is one of the very important keys to successful weight loss: knowing when it's OK to give yourself permission to "blow it." As long as you get back on track right away, why not enjoy a special occasion without having to worry about points and stuff? I mean, that is what makes me resentful -- that I can't even enjoy a special occasion like a "normal" person. I think you attitude is very healthy. Best of luck and congratulations!

Great job on the loss, F&L!

Down .6 and I was relieved.

Still a few pounds above where I'd ideally like to be.

My incentive is fitting into an awesome form-fitting sheath I bought to wear at my brother's wedding--Memorial Day weekend. It fit perfectly when I bought it, still fits but would look better once I drop 3-5 more pounds.

SHould be realistic; I cut back to 20 points and will track food more closely.

Thanks for starting this thread--the more accountability in my life, the better I do staying on track!

Holy crap... I lost two more pounds! I can't believe it. But I'll take it! LOL

I am extra excited because I've finally lost enough weight so that my ultimate-goal ticker has moved enough that you can see space between the slider heart and the first heart. Make sense? A few days ago, they were all bunched up! That made me fee good.

Elana, congrats on your loss too! BUt be careful about cutting back on points. How many are you supposed to be eating a day? You really don't want to go below that.

If you're feeling stuck and you haven't been using your 35 flex points, you might want to try eating a little MORE. I know that sounds counter intuitive, but WW is set up from keeping your body from feeling complacent and deprived and holding on to its reserves. Pumping up the points by using flex points keeps your metabolism on its toes, so to speak.

Great job, Caroline!!! I'm jealous--I wish my mom was able to go to the WW meetings with me, but she lives about 3 hours away.

Congratulations!!!

I had my first WI on Tuesday and was down 5. I'm having a difficult week though. DH has been away for 3 days and will be home tomorrow night. The twins and dd are keeping me very busy and I haven't been tracking very well. I plan on being very strict this weekend and hopefully I'll see another loss this Tuesday.
