NEWBIE! Trying this at home
 

I have been on WW since Jan 2005
I have lost 25pds so I am 7pd from my first 10%
Due to money and time I need to make a go of ww with out a meeting
I am buying a ww scale this weekend
Any advice for me?
I hope I can do this!
I have two WW buddies doing this with me and now this forum so I can't say I don't have support.

I have been doing it very successfully for about 3 weeks. Do you by any chance have a pda?

Hi everyone...

I am a newbie. I tried WW about 4-5 years ago and it worked really well. I lost a lot of weight but have recently put it back on. I will be purchasing the home kit from WW website. Until then, can someone fill me in as my points range if I weigh 140 lbs. I still have the food companion from winning points, is the food points the same or has they changed too. Can't wait to get my stuff in the mail and to start losing weight.
HOpe to talk to y'all soon.

no I don't have a pda. Thanks for the hope in sucess though.

I just ordered a pda that should be here on the 29th. Once I learn to navigate it I want to purchase the ww tool to use with it. Will it work if I am not subscribed to anything online?

Hi all,
I do have a PDA and i don't have the WW tool, instead i went to Dotties weight loss sight and downloaded her restaraunt guide and I use that when I am eating out, there are soo many restaurants to choose from but you only need to download the ones you want. http://www.dwlz.com/index.html this is Dotti's link. I do the weight watchers online because I don't have time to go to meetins and it is successful if you are honest with your points. Hope this little helps. I just "re"joined ww again and have had success. Can always use support and encouragement on my journey so I hope to help you guys too.

Misty I would love to be encouragement to u. I am always around during the weekdays 8-4. I am not around too much on the weekends working all week on a computer kinda burns me out.
I don't have a pda but I do use dotties'weight loss zone website alot.
I am still looking for a ww scale I haven't found one I can afford yet.
I think I just maintained this week again meaning I am still 1pd from my 10% my 26pds.
bummer
oh well atleast I didn't gain.

Hey butterfly! Thats so inspiring that you have lost that much. I really like WW so far. Im doing the online version...which I guess is close to the at home version. If you need any help, let me know. Oh and I saw your exact screenname on health discovery.

Love,
Deanne

Butterfly,
Well, we all hit those weeks that are disappointing. I have the ups and downs daily. I make myself go the YMCA 5 times a week, but I always feel so much better afterwards. As for the scale, I bough one for around 30 at Wal Mart that is digital, i didn't have the money for the WW one. I probably won't be on everyday but ya'll can leave private messages and I'll catch up on here too.

Good like this week!

It was probaly me. I use to hang out there alot. It was my first forum I had ever been apart of. I had some different thoughts though on how far u should push someone and how hard and I was told over there that was the way it worked. I saw someone I knew hurt badly. A friend told me to check out this forum and I really like it. Thank u for saying I am inspiring I never thought of myself as inspiring. (blushing) I hope u stay in touch.

Thank u for the encouragement. I will get my scales soon hopefuly.

I hope I can help yall and I will depend on yall alot.

Hey girl! How are ya? I signed up for that forum just to see what it was like. Its not organized and I really didnt like it. This forum has the most amazing women on it. I love the sense of humor that they have here. I feel more at home here. How is WW at home going for you?

Love,
Deanne

Happy hump day to all,
I'm trying sooo hard to behave this week, I splurged this past weekend and have a wedding this weekend so i know i'll be pigging out a little bit. Everyone having a great week? I am still working through the picking and cravings and of course drinking all my water, I feel like a fish. Keep up the great work girls!!!!

Ok Girls!
Keeping in mind my scales are ancient. They are two pds off toward the better I have figured out. So Last week it weighed me at 239-240 which actually means 240-242. This morning it weighed me at 236 so that would be 238 which means I am 1pd under my first 10% which is now a loss of 27pds. I am not getting happy yet though. I am waiting till I secure my new scales atleast by this weekend. But with that said I am still doing a very happy dance.
Excersizing to me is hard to keep doing I lose intrest fast. I have two body by jake machines and a big ball thing with a video. When these things sat in the living room I used them alot. Now I put them in the bedroom I haven't touched them in a month. It is getting warm now and with my hubby and soon to be 5 year old we get outside alot. Atleast once school is out because RJ's bedtime is 7-8 when I can get him there and most of the time I dont get home till 7. We have invested in a volleyball net. we always have fun doing that. Mostly chasing the ball and digging it out of the weeds in the field. We also got the badmittens and other stuff in the set. I can't wait to try them out. We got them and it has gotten cold again and rainy. So wish me luck and I have also made up a new menu for myself keeping my pts down because I had kinda gotten away from planning my meals and I think I was messing up here and there.
Anyway I will do this and can't wait to hear what yall's plans are.

Butterfly,
Keep up the good work, sounds like you are on the right track! I hate to exercise too, I'd put the things where you will use them. If you see them you'll be more inclined to work out. I love the outdoors too, can't wait for better weather. I'll be running around at Busch Gardens with my kids all summer and I do so much better staying on track in warm weather when I can get outdoors.
Dawn

Ohhh
sounds like u will have fun and be very busy this summer.
I have been to bush gardens in virgina but it was a while back when I was in GS. We took a trip there one summer. I loved the water park. It was one of my highlights of the trip.

New here too
 

Hi y'all...

I just started weight watchers last friday. I went to the first meeting and started reading all the books to get me started on the program. I am excited about doing this. If you have any advice....I would greatly appreciate it!
How many APs do you use in a week?

Danielle

Butterfly,
I love Busch Garderns/ Water country, I get so much exercise and have so much fun. We get season passes real cheap through the military so as long as we go twice they are paid for. The problem this year so far, it's been yucky weather every weekend! Ok now on to more important things, down 1/2 # from last week, I was hoping for more, but hey, I'll take it!!! It's better then going up. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Dawn

Misty
Way to go! Do the dance! A half a pd is a victory!OHH YEa who's hot?
LOL

Dritter
Welcome!
Advice?
Follow the rules
Eat your allowed pts, and drink all your water and any more you can hold.
Take a viatamin. Excersize when possible whichisone I need to remember.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Everyone losing this week. I'm down onl y 1/2 # but i'll take it. Everyone keep up the good work and we'll be big losers soon!

UGHHHHHHHH I am sooooo sad
I got my new ww scales. My other ones were defy off. I haven't meet my 10% yet of 26pds and I haven't meet my 1st 25pds
According to the scales I only lost 2pds last month.
ohhh well at least I haven't gained just not lost what I thought.

Butterfly don't be discouraged, drink more water!!!I know, i'm going to float away. You'll be there soon! I have faith, you're doing great!

Thanks Misty
I have done just that. I have also made a new menu out that seems to work best for me.
I have 7 10oz bottles with water on my desk that I will drink if I have to make myself by attaching them to my face by the end of the day each and every day.
LOL
can't u just see me now

I read somewhere we should drink a gallon a day, some days it is hard just to get the standard 8 glasses down. It seems the more water I drink the more thirsty I am. maybe would could just do an IV at night while we sleep, hahaha. I hate needles though.
At least the water fountain is right outside my office door so i can get cold water right away and I try to drink a bottle on the way to and from work.

Have a great evening!
Dawn

an IV at night sounds good but I don't like needles either.
I wish there was an easy way to get the water in. Well I WI in friday morning to see if I have jump started my body yet. Cross Your Fingers.

Hey yall! I am doing WW at home also. I have a good friend who did WW for 6 months and lost about 30 pounds. She said she knows the rules now and she GAVE :D me ALL of her WW stuff. I am so far down about 5 pounds and would love to lose 20 more just to feel healthy again.

Hello NCJenni
I am from NC too. Hickory area well actually vale or somewhere between catsquare and hoghill. LOL
Welcome to WW at home. I am sure u will make your goal.

Yeh,
weighed in and down 1# I thought i'd see a gain this week but I guess the extra working out paid off, hope everyone else is having a great start to their weekend.
Dawn

No time to talk now. But I lost 1# too.
GOOOO Misty.

Hey Want2BAButterfly. I am actually from Burlington NC. 30 minutes E of Greensboro and 60 minutes W of Raleigh. Pretty cool. Good to hear from ya. ;)

YEH! Everyone is doing so great! My motivation has been up and down, one minute I care the next I don't. Trying to have patience is soooo hard! The good thing is, I take out the frustration at the Y, and as always, just feel soo much better afterwards. Hope eveyone has a great Mother's Day!
Dawn

ncjenni
I am 30mins west of charlotte.

Misty
lately I have been going through that. One moment I am so determined the next I just want to eat a pizza with a side of chips then feel like a dog.

I just blew off 3 days of not going to the Y but i'm on my way there now. I was a bad girl this weekend, Sat night's dinner was 27 points just for the entree! Ugh, but need to get back on track and committ again. Anyone ever have success with hypnotism I'm about ready to try that. Tell him to be told to love to exercise and to lose the weight, lol. Anyways, Happy monday everyone!!!
Ummm, it's been so long since I've had pizza, ugghhhh, guess i need to just buy a WW one and satisfy the craving.

Misty

well tomorrow I WI. I have been pretty good but here lately good has only been mantaining. Well as long as I don't gain.I have got to start excersizing. I just can't get motivated and when I am in the mood I can't do it due to usually being at work.

Can I Join You?
 

We just had a birthday party at work, had an 8th of chocolate bavarian and a tim tam. Shouldnt of have it but couldnt resist. Having Subway for lunch, thats going to be 10 points and then im going out to tea tonight. Good thing I havent been using my extra points!!!

Down 1# from last week, I'll take it, just going thru a lul again. We'll be at the Y tonight, Fridays are great, no goes, lol. It's been another busy week, I always hope to see more of a loss but I'm happy it's been steady.
Welcome Wendy. This is a cool place to just hang out. The ladies are great!
Happy Friday everyone.
Dawn

Well I am doing the Wendi plan. Yesterday was my Super High Day. Todays weigh in resulted in a 1 pound loss and a 2.075 inch loss.
I am happy with that. But I am going to have to switch my weigh in day to Sunday. If I had weighed in on Sunday morning before my SHD then Maybe my weight loss would have been larger.

Oh well ... Live and learn.

This weekend was wonderful. Great Temperatures, No daytime Rain, sunny Days. Got outside with the kids. did some lawn work and started planning my gardens. Can not wait to get them planted. Little too early to do it now here. We had a hard frost on Tuesday night here and the danger of that is not gone yet.

Well I am going to go. Talk to everyone later!

Have a Great Day!

Butterfly, you are definately an inspiration. I just started WW again today, and will be working on my first 10%. I can't wait to get started just looking at your results! I feel like I"m going to do so much better just being on this site with all you great women. I watched Oprah's show on Thursday also, and decided that I would stop eating after 7:30, so far so good. that's my one small thing to change for now, I think that's all I can handle after all theses years of self-abuse. I will consider myself successful after one week and then will start again. I'm not sure how long I will set that lone goal for before I attempt another. Am hoping I can do one every couple of weeks. just one small step at a time!

hey Sunshine Wendy (and all), maybe I should wait 'til tomorrow to start also, since I really am not prepared. I just got all excited and jumped on the bandwagon! maybe that's my problem all along. I get excited and want to do what everyone else is doing then the excitement wears thin. I'm going to re-group, get prepared and start tomorrow. it's probably better, because, this morning (and afternoon) I'm still up to my old tricks. I have not had anyting to eat except for a piece of carrot cake, altho' it was small, about 1/2" x 1/2", it's still not what I would've (should've) done being on weight watchers. so I'll prepare today/tonight, then give it a fresh start tomorrow. wish me luck, as I of course wish all of you strength and positive thoughts to get thru this day

I am so glad to see soooo many new faces. Welcome everyone.
well I have been very busy so sorry that I haven't kept up with everyone.
Last week I lost .4
This week I gained 2
I have my TOM and I have been stressing so I did not do very good at staying op
As of day after memorial day I will less busy and less stressed.

I hope u girls are doing better than I and so far I think yall are awesome BIG Losers!
