The Weight Watchers Support group ~ over 1/2 a TON weight loss so far!!!

[Laura2919]

danniemum2be - That's brilliant, well done! Do you find yourself having more energy throughout the day? That's my biggest thing, no energy at the moment and with 2 kids 2 and under I need energy, lol

Laura - I was reading your journal earlier, that's a great idea so think I'll maybe start one of those and update it everynight. That way I have accountability too as I'm just doing the plan from home. How do you find the WW meals? I'm just about to have the crustless quiche with salad for lunch

I like most of the meals, the shepherds pie and beef lasange are not that great. I'm Italian so I knew I wouldn't like the lasange haha! The shepherds pie had no meat in it whatsoever.

I've had the beef and red wine casserole, steam and serve chop suey (new), crustless quiche, their oval pizza's and their bigger pizza's and I like all of those

I refuse to turn my oven on to warm the quiche so I just shove it in the micro for a few minutes instead! Nice big salad with it and its lovely.. Did you like it?

wow are all these ww foods - im hungry reading about them

so af was due yesterday i have had scant spotting the past 2 days and im hungry all the time darn pms
really just show up already.

I have wi tonight and im hoping to be down finally. but im not sure with the constant hunger what i will be i will post later

 

[Laura2919]

Yeah do you not have all the range where you are? Good luck for you WI

I tried one of the zero points tips off the WW site- mashed cauliflower!! They suggest it as a substitute for rice etc, and as odd as it sounds, it was lovely! I mashed it up with a veg stock cube, a splash of skimmed milk and a teaspoon of butter

 

[pdmcd17]

So I was down 0.7 today, I was hoping for more but it's a loss
I still have 0.8 to get back to where I was before this see saw plateau

I'm wondering if my increase in activity is a factor I run 5 k 3 x wk and bike or rollerblade 2-3 x week
I guess next week will be the test another week of being on track with my activity levels at this level

Now to avoid the temptation of the post race food on Sunday

hi girls

have been missing in action for a couple of weeks as had to have a little op, but back now to record my progress

Week 1: 3.5lbs OFF
Week 2: 3lbs OFF
Week 3: 0.5lbs ON
Week 4: 1lb OFF *silver seven*

Total lost to date: 7lbs

 

[Laura2919]

Well done

I don't like cauliflower so it wouldn't be something I'd like to try! Lol.

Hi ladies,

Good to see you are all still around. Sorry I've been MIA this week but work has been crazy busy!!
Just so glad its a long weekend here!!

pdmcd - Well done on loosing 0.7lbs this week! FXed you loose that last little bit. I know how you feel! I had 3 months of see saw plateau!! It was really frustrating! and just when I did break through and start loosing again I found out that I was pregnant!!

mummydee - well done on loosing your 1st 7lbs and getting your 1st silver seven!!


AFM - according to my scan last week I'm now in my 2nd trimester (14 weeks)
starting to feel a bit better and seem to have a bit more energy. Still think I might have a nap in a bit - do enjoy those !
I am also really glad to report that my weight has not increased as much as I thought it would! Only picked up about 5lbs so far, of which 4lbs was picked up within days of finding out I was pregnant! So not bad going!!

GL with off the WI's this next week. Let me know how you get on.

 

[pdmcd17]

That is good sk - are you having another scan soon? You should post a scan pic
Af came today not sure if my cycles are lengthening again or not

Weighed myself this am at home and I was down another 3 well see what happens at my real wi maybe I was retaining

:wave: I am an old member who followed Weight watchers a year or so ago,I got very ill and had a Hysterectomy so fell in to depression and never sorted my weight out.I did loose a bit to get married in Jan this year but not enough I went shopping for clothes recently and it was hideous i looked stupid and frumpy so I decided to go back to Weight Watchers.I attend meetings which is the kick up the bum i need!

I started 6 weeks ago and weighed in at 11 stone 3lbs.When I first joined before I was 12st 2 and only ever got to 11 stone 6lb,I then hit a wall and couldn't shift it.Since starting again I have lost 10 lbs and now down to 10st 6lbs and finally in a size 12

I would like to loose another stone.I go to Zumba and ride a bike to work.my job is active and busy so that helps me stop snacking on junk and burn calories.

I'm just stuck on nice meal ideas,breakfast and yummy snacks.I do find tracking is great and if I don't I fall of the wagon.I've had a bad start to the week but I don't weigh in till Wednesday so I'll be able to reign it in (hopefully)

Looking forward to meeting you all and sharing your weight loss journeys with you

P.S I have been asked to have a go as a leader.Are any of you lovely ladies a leader?

pdmcd - thanks hun. Will see if I can find the website where I usually store my pics. This babybrain thing is really hitting me hard today!

Dannie - oops 4pp!! ouch - time for a brisk walk! teehee oh hell baby-gym! that should work it off!

Eoz - welcome back hun. Good that you are feeling better and have recovered from your op.
A little about me. I joined WW last year April in a bid to loose as much weight as possible for my wedding next year - or at least thats what I told my mom. Real reason was we were TTCing for a few months with no success. So decided that trying to loose a bit would help. Well a year down the line I'd lost 3 stone. Then discovered I was pregnant! So I have had to put WW on hold till after the baby is born. I will still have a few months to try get back into shape before the wedding next April.

It sure looks like you have your days packed out for you with all the right activities!
As far as the meals go - I usually enjoyed a fruit smoothie for breakfast - 2 pieces of fruit(free) and a small WW jogurt (1pp). Blitzed up - yum yum!!
Lunches would vary for me - sometimes a salad with left over chicken, tuna or prawns. The free butternutsquash soup with a WW naan bread or a sandwhich.
Dinners I'm no good at as my DF is so fussy with food I would just try making it healthier for me.

Thank you hun and wow Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Eoz!
It has, admittedly, taken me a few hours to remember/find where I host some of my photo's, but I've finally managed to find them and here is a pic of my scan. It was done about 10 days ago and they dated me at 12w4d. So according to their dates I'm now 14 weeks!

hi all

I have recently joined weight watchers after being dragged there by a friend who is doing brilliantly . im in my 3rd week.

I weighted in at a shocking 15lb 8oz and i could have cried
i lost 2 and half lb the 1st week and stayed same last week. im dreading this week.

I have a major prob with binge eating andd struggling to stick to it, and was hoping to find ideas to help stop this.
I am also a stress eater and finding that hard to deal with esp with so much goin on at the mo, but i really need to loose the weight as its making everythin else worse

 

[Try Rocking]

Hey guys! Just a quick update, after a week visiting my family (which is usually bad for me weight wise) I did pretty good and I am down another 2 lbs which brings my weight loss to 50 lbs!

Welcome to the new/ returning

Sk loved the scan pics!!

I ran a 5 k race today I did it in 39.31 mins!!
It was my first race in 2 yrs (& one of many to come)
Im not as fast as I was the first time I did this race 3 yrs ago but I will get there again
I checked and I'm actually only 15lbs heavier then I was 3 yrs ago
I still have a ways to go to get to goal wt or running times
But I will get there
