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

[Vickie]

For me I know where I want to be, I was there before I got pregnant and that is driving me right now. Not that I don't fail when things get tough because I do at times but the image of how I want to be keeps me going and getting back on track.

Right now I am doing the Sixty Day Slim Down with Lindsey Brin. I have maybe 10 more workout days of that left? Possibly 12 not sure I haven't quite completed it in the 60 days though as I've been battling various colds so it's more like 90 days

Once I've finished this I think I will go back to doing the EA Active 2 for the Wii and My Fitness Coach. I alternate between the two programs and concentrate on Core, Cardio, Arms & lower body respectively

I have never tried Lindsey Brin or the EA active...is that something with the wii fit???

I am doing something called Asylum Vol II...its good stuff...I am SO addicted. LOL.

These are what I'm doing right now. You can d/l the info packet and DVDs for $10

The EA Active and My Fitness Coach are Wii games (though I think you can get them on other systems to?) but nothing like the Wii fit Wii fit I found ridiculously easy and not a great workout for me. But these two are both great workout programs

ETA: I'm also using the Biggest Loser game for the Wii right now in addition to the Brin dvd. It has cardio (running) days and I'm not a runner so I use this game for the cardio instead It's a good workout to

how old are our LO's???

ha...results I mean. LOL. What lovely names...my daughter Josie is 1...but was up at 3 in the morning and wouldn't go back down...so I am tired too today....

 

[Vickie]

I was wondering. Didn't clue in that it might be results

I had great results with the combination of My Fitness coach and EA active last year before I got pregnant It brought me down from a size 10 to a size 4-6

I *think* I'm having good results with the Brin dvds. I feel like I look more toned though still faaaaaaaaaaaaar from where I want to be. Of course I've only been at it a few months and it took 7-8 months of consistent working out to get where I wanted to be before.

Weight hasn't moved much despite the toning

I'm noticing a weird trend. Days I don't workout (or workout very little like today--it was a short workout that was scheduled, I wasn't skipping ) my weight goes down a lot the next day. Days that I do a 40-50 minute workout the next morning my weight is static I am thinking of starting to eat my activity points and see if that helps? I'm doing some crazy workouts and maybe I'm not eating enough for it??

Hi ladies! I havent done WW for a while....the last time I went it was a blue folder [which I need to find!] I dont have time for classes and dont really wanna pay for online if I can just do it here, think I used to do Pro Points?! How would I work out how many points I'm allowed and the blue folder I have has anything changed?

Ta x

you could be eating too little...I only weigh myself once a week...also...maybe after your workouts your muscles are retaining water to rebuild...I take a post workout supplement with creatine and it helps hydrate your muscles.

I only ever did the online ww...you can always just do the points that worked for you before...

Sorry Ames, I don't know. Good luck though!

wow! thats amazing!! great job!!


I lost .6 lbs last week...pretty happy about that!!

how are you ladies today???

 

[Vickie]

Well done on your losses Rach and DrGomps!

Gomps what is your total loss so I can update the front page for some reason I don't have it there

I ended up losing .8 pounds. I didn't workout Friday but was busy running errands all day long. I ate taco bell for lunch but stuck with two chicken soft tacos with no sour cream (I don't like the stuff anyways ). I did have a couple of cookies and not near enough water and yet I lost Saturday morning. I am going to start eating more of my AP this week and see what happens.

Very tired here after a busy weekend. I did manage my workout this morning, the first part of it at least (30 minutes) the second part is optional and not sure I have the energy to tackle it, we will see how the rest of the day goes. Doing well on points. With dinner I am right at 26 points and I'll have a 3-4 point snack (earned 6 AP points so far) tonight

 

[DrGomps]

great job on the loss!! 88 lbs lost so far for me (well thats including all the baby weight)

diet is on track so far this week...but tomorrow is a lab potluck and thursday is thanksgiving...AH!!

 

[Vickie]

I'm originally from the States and we celebrate the US Thanksgiving as well (keeping my oldest out of school). Doubt I'll lose but am trying to do okay the rest of the week

Got my workout in and off for a walk in a bit I'm earning 15 AP today I am going to try to eat most of them though....

 

[TTCinBC]

Great job on all the losses!! So happy for everyone!

I on the other hand didn't go to weigh in for 2 weeks and hid from my tracker as well I gained 0.6 lbs. BUT tonight I did my first ever spin class at the gym and tonight was my first time back at the gym since I became pregnant last november. Needless to say, spin kicked my butt. But that's okay! I want to have a few pounds off for next weigh in! I'm so close to my 5%! (1lb away)

 

[Try Rocking]

How's spin class going Chelci?


I'm down 90 lbs now

 

[TTCinBC]

I haven't gone back yet Tianna got the flu on friday literally as I was on my way out the door to the gym. So needless to say that didn't happen. She's finally better so hoping to go today.

Yay for 90lbs!! That really awesome Rach!!! You must be so proud of yourself! I need to loose 90lbs to be at my healthy weight, I'm so impressed that you did it in one year!

 

[Try Rocking]

I have another 37 before I hit healthy but I am 4 lbs away from being just overweight instead of the Big 'O'. I'm excited about that!

Hopefully she stays better! Everyone seems to be getting hit by that nasty bug right now!

 

[JessPape]

I feel off the band wagon.... So I need to start back up. Thought I don't have the groceries in my house to do it this week. I'm gonna try and get back in to track on Monday. I'm bummed with myself. But luckly I haven't gained a whole wack back, will weight tomorrow morning to see what my starting weight is again, thanksgiving (Can) throught me off.
