[skweek35]

Welcome back Tesa!!
Would you like me to zero your weight loss on the front page or leave it as it is?

 

[Tesa]

Thanks - no leave it as it is it makes me happy to see it! Plus i didnt do too much damage in my weeks off - Ive only added 1 pound (seriously it should be so much more)

I guess its true what they say if it comes off slow its stays off!

 

[Try Rocking]

Tesa you did great just starting again! We all have our days/weeks/months, what matters is eventually continuing on

I see 60 lbs again! I'm actually right on the dot for my 60 lbs lost. Woohoo!

Hi ladies

Well I can officially reveal that we are team !! over the moon!!

 

[Guppy051708]

congrats on your bump!

 

[Try Rocking]

I don't really go on the boards there, the only forum I pay any attention to is this one lol
I am technically in the 100+ lbs to lose and another one (or 2) for BC.
Yay for another Canadian!

Skweek that is so awesome! Congratulations on your pink bump!!

Try Rocking, i know this is probably a big question to ask, but what are some vital tips that you recommend for weight loss, especially when the scale isn't budging? Thank God its going down now, but it took 12 weeks to get it there! When i started this journey i had 85lb to go, now i have about 76, but some days that seems so far off and sometimes i wonder if i will ever reach it because ive been overweight my entire life. The weeks that i lose 1lb i feel motivated and feel like it can be accomplished but weeks were the scale doesnt move, the inches are the same, and my clothes dont fit any better...i just feel like my goal is unrealistic, despite the fact that i know my goal is a normal, healthy weight for my frame and height.

Vickie would be awesome to answer this, she lost 105 lbs and went through ups and downs and everything else!

I definitely recommend drinking your 8+ glasses of water a day, I really notice it if I don't. Any exercise you can do is good, even if it's just dancing while you clean, jogging around the house (that's how I started out lol) or anything else you can do.
Stand instead of sit and do anything instead of just stand. I've even bounced from one foot to the other to burn more calories. Every little bit counts!

They're not all bad weeks, some weeks will go up and you'll be sitting there in wtf mode and then all of a sudden you'll lose a bunch.
I've actually lowered my daily points and I've found that's been helping me quite a bit. Although it is off and on.

Just don't give up even if you have many bad weeks, it will get better and every pound you lose is huge for your health.
We have about the same amount to lose at this point. My ticker only shows my halfway point. When I get there I'll add more. It's just embarassing to see a ticker that shows I'd like to lose 140 lbs you know?
You can do it! And if you ever need to talk I'm around

 

[Vickie]

congrats sk on your pink bump!

Thanks Rach You pretty much summed up what I'd say!

Well done on the losses everyone and welcome newbies!

I finally feel like I'm somewhat back on track here. I had a good week last week, my regular cheat day on Saturday but we also ate out on Monday because Hannah had a dance recital and we took her out afterward. I made sure to eat low points foods for lunch and dinner Monday so though I'm sure I went over it doesn't seem to have affected my weight to badly.

We'll see how WI on Saturday goes!

and exercise has completely gone out the window for the moment I try but it's hard to find the time.

Thanks so much for sharing!
I will def heed the advice. I def need to start doing better about my water intake. Sometimes i try to drink it with a straw, apparently you drink more.....or at least i feel like i do

Have you ever noticed if you dont sleep well, then the weight goes up a bit? that seems to be the trend for me...i dont understand it

I really appriciate your kind words. Its nice having someone to talk about it....i think most ppl want to lose weight no matter how [little] they weight, but sometimes it makes me feel bad about myself (and negative towards them) when ppl who are 5"8 and weight 120lb think they are too fat....i know each person deserves to feel how they feel (and express that!) bc everyone will view it differently, but i feel safe here. I feel like i can say " yes! I am 5 foot 1 and im pushing 200lb, without feeling insecure about it Thats nice!

Guppy that is exactly what this thread is all about! A place for us to air our honest feelings and not get judged for it.

Hope everyone is having a good week! Any weights to update?

 

[Guppy051708]

187lb today (up 1lb) ...but im going to try and look past that seeing how today wasnt a weigh-in day...i caved (im not using this as my weigh-in for the week. Will see what is on my normally scheduled day-Friday)

 

[skweek35]

I will admit I used to weight myself every morning - that is one thing that kept my motivated - either way, the numbers going down kept me going and seeing the numbers up a bit made me more motivated to be extra good over the next few days!
I know weighing every day is not recommended but it worked for me and kept me motivated from one WI to the next.

 

[pdmcd17]

I was up this week
I know we haven't been as active on vacation with all the driving
I'm also sure we have miscalculated our points
Our activity level is less even with our few runs

I wonder what we would have gained if we weren't tracking and being active

 

[Try Rocking]

Even if you did gain it's not like you go away all that often right? I'm away this week as well and I'm sure I'll see a gain but I brought my scale and I'm hoping it'll help keep me on track.

I also weigh in everyday, it's motivating for me, if I lose then awesome, if I gain then I figure out what I did wrong and try and change it. Or sometimes I'm just stuck but it's still nice to keep track of.

Guppy I'm 5'8 and nowhere near 120 lbs, I'd actually like to be somewhere around 150-160. I'm not set on any number really. I am thinking 150 but it might change depending on my body. I might be perfectly happy at 160 or somewhere around there. We'll see.
I wasn't made to be a stick figure I know that!
Vent away, we're all going through the same thing essentially. It does drive me nuts when stick figures say they need to lose weight though lol

 

[Tesa]

Hello everyone! I just join BandB and saw this support thread and just had to join! I have been on Weight Watchers 13 months and have lost around 95 pounds. There have been ups and downs, the worst being when I was tried Birth Control for 2 months, it made me gain weight and bloat LIKE CRAZY.

Well, I'm so happy to see everyone else's losses and such, way to go!
