[Try Rocking]

Great job Carly!!!!


I'm not sure either sorry :\


Wish me luck, I'm off to the coast for a week tomorrow and then there's camping. I expect to not do so well but I'm hoping I'll stay active enough that it won't hurt too much :\

 

[Heather M]

Got weighed tonight and another 3lb off!!

So its my 4th week and I've lost 12lb in total and hit my 5% tonight! So so pleased!!!

Well done Carly!

 

[CarlyP]

Hi everyone I'm finally moved in and almost done unpacking well the bedroom and main floor , the basement I will work on over the next couple of weeks tons of sorting before we finish the basement. Thankfully all that is needed is to put the drywall and laminate he already framed and subfloored it

I'm now getting back on track I'm gonna go for a walk along the river later once I get all the laundry away, tg I'm on vacation this week or I'd be mental
Tomorrow is wi I'm praying to sts.

Are you's all exercising as well?

I try to, when i can. I do have a gym pass to planet fitness and its only $10 per month. Its nice bc its open 24/7 so i can go late at night, after the kiddies are off to bed. But i have to admit, i havn't been intentionally exercising lately i do a lot of running around as it is, with a toddler and infant, but if my weight stops coming off then i take the initiative to exercise...i know i probably should just do it anyways, but i also know as i get closer to my goal weight i will have to exercise, so im just enjoying the "free ride" for now

Well done Rach!!

You should be able to enter roasted chicken (or even just chicken breast etc.) into the online tracker and have it pull up options. I generally go for 5 points (for 1 cup of chicken breast cooked) though that's probably overestimating it I'd rather overestimate than under. Hope that helps

I was never big on soda, but i do like to have it from time to time....except i always forgo the points for it because im not fan of the taste of the diets and stuff...coke zero isn't THAT bad, i would do that, but i like mine regular

If we have a tasty treat in the house...i usually it up pretty quickly, so the best thing for me was to just not purchase it in the first place...its really hard. especially bc dh wants to give me whatever i dessert i want. He is all for my weightloss and super supportive...but a bit of enabler LOL, so just not having it in the house helps.


good job TR!

And YES Stan is exactly the same! He's super supportive but if I mention on I want this he's all for having it/buying it/making it so definitely an enabler

about Stan! Their hearts are in the right place...to bad it makes me fat

Thank you, I have my 30 day shred dvd so gonna dig that out. Can I ask one more thing?

When I cook ( for example I'm making mince, tatties and dumplings ) I'm unsure what to enter. I'm using extra lean mince etc so do I just put in the individual components of meals? I did search weight watchers for a healthier recipe but it had none. Just wondering how I interpret points for homecooked meals such as m&t, homemade steak pie etc.

I have the 30DS and it's killer! LOL I only did 4 days of it though but honestly even in 4 days i saw a difference in my arms! I really should start back up on and it stick to it.

For food and points, usually i just enter each individual component of the meal/ingredients. Then i save it so i dont have to go back in every time i have that particular meal. It's important to count everything bc you want to make sure you are getting the correct amount of points in each day. Under estimating is obviously bad bc then you are consuming more than you think which leads to not losing weight. Overestimating can mean slowing your metabolism. which isn't good either, though i would say under estimating is the bigger of the two evils when it comes to weight loss.

Awesome! You are just melting off!

Hi i wonder if anyone can help,i do ww on line,but my hubby has decided to join in too the thing is i don't want to pay twice not when i already have all the info,but we are having trouble working out his daily pp allowance,i found a calculator on line and it worked out his points to be 47 does this sound about right?

Im not really sure about this either...and it gets hard to figure out because so often WW changed my points. About every 2-3lb my points dropped for my daily point allowance.

Wish me luck, I'm off to the coast for a week tomorrow and then there's camping. I expect to not do so well but I'm hoping I'll stay active enough that it won't hurt too much :\

Have fun!!! Camping is a lot of fun, and lots of yummy foods, but maybe since you're camping and doing lots of activities it will balance itself out And if not, this is a special moment and a good use of weekly points have fun girl!

Have a walk. About it will be beautiful next to the river.

Thats great you are all moved in! I hate moving! Finally in our house...its been one year and we still have some boxes not unpacked
enjoy your new home!

 

[Guppy051708]

I am SO close to being in the 170s! If im lucky it *could* happen tomorrow, weighs in not until Friday though, so maybe i'll be even more lucky and see 178lb instead of just 179lb

 

[Jellycat]

Good loss Vicki, Trying Rocking and Carly

AFM - stayed the same again this week and AF has gone now so think I need to reuce my carbs portions

 

[mamadonna]

Just thought I'd share this girls i made a yummy pizza for my dinner

1st i got a tortilla bread 5 pp

2nd smeared passata on that

3rd added my toppings,ham chorizo mushrooms and lighter mozzarella cheese,oh and some oregano on top of the passata,popped it in the oven,totally yummy!

Altogether i think it totalled about 11 points,but you can add any topping you want

 

[Guppy051708]

^ that sounds yummy! thanks for sharing! just may try it.
Lately i have been making pizza with the very thin crust...less points than regular crust.

jellycat, sorry there wasn't a loss this week That can be very hardening to see. hopefully next week you will lose double

Today was weigh in. I lost half a pound...which im a bit bummed about, but its better than gaining, so i'll be happy about it. I am nervous about this weekend though. We have to travel to northern Maine for Isaiah's friends birthday party. I dont know what they will have there for food. probably cake, candy, and bbq. ...im not sure what to do about points bc i dont know ahead of time what im having and its making it tough to plan. ...my game plan is to eat the fruit salad first and go from there. Im sure that will be there. But its also a 4 hour drive north, which inevitably means fast food....ugh.

total weight loss = 17lb. ...hopefully next week i see the 170s....i weighed myself on my old [digital] scale and it said 179.4. My regular scale (not a digi) said 179. My WW scale said 180.1 BOOO! i logged the 180.1 but it makes me wonder which is more accurate....i really should just throw the old ones out LOL

oh and i got the 5% star online today

 

[Heather M]

Hey Everyone! At my parents and used their digital scale today so down another 1.6 pounds and just reached my 5% as well. (I haven't got any fun stars yet though and I'm wondering if it's because I had that from the last time i started before I got pregnant with my dd#2). Hopefully it'll be just slow and steady from here! It feels like there is so much further to go in some ways. 4 weeks in I shouldn't be complaining for what i have lost!

 

[Guppy051708]

fab job hun!!! keep it up!
It does seem like a long road, but im glad we can do it together

 

[Guppy051708]

Ladies, this is getting very exciting! we are SOOOOOO close to a 1,000 pound loss! thats half a ton! can you believe it! you guys rock! Less than 10lbs to go!

 

[Happy_mama]

Hi everyone Would like to join you all please. I begin my WW journey tomorrow

Bit apprehensive on how I'll cope with less food but I think my body just needs to realise what I'll be eating is the NORMAL amount it should be having

Will post back tomorrow night and report on my first day x

Well done on your 5% and your loss this week Good luck on the trip

Always hard to plan when you don't know what you're having

Welcome to the group and good luck! The first week was hardest for me and it does get easier from there

WI for me tomorrow but not expecting anything. I've done well this week on food and I've actually managed three workouts plus a lot of walks but AF arrived tonight and my loss has stalled the last few days. It happened last time I worked out to for about a month but once it picked back up it picked up a lot and I lost very quickly *sigh* just gotta keep reminding myself of that

 

[CarlyP]

Well done on the losses!!

Welcome to thr group Happy mama

 

[mamadonna]

You can add my 10lb to the loss if you want!

 

[Happy_mama]

thanks for the warm welcome everyone

ive still yet to start as ive been unwell and we had to rehome our puppy

hoping to actually start on friday (thursday is my birthday and there may be cake involved )

 

[CarlyP]

Weigh in at 6pm, hoping to have lost at least 2lb then i have hit a full stone!! Keep your fingers crossed for me

 

[Natasha2605]

Good Luck Carly.

I went shit all second half on last week, turned 21 and it was busy busy busy and ended up eating out a lot. Supposed to way in on a Sunday but didn't so we'll see how I weigh at the end of this week.

It really is going to be a massive lifestyle change for me I think now. I'm having to rethink our meals and I just cannot get the hang of working out points for homemade meals. Going to start meal planning too. More determined than ever now. My 3 day shred platoed with it being my birthday too so back on it tonight. New week, new start!
