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

[TTCinBC]

Hello to all the new ladies! Ww is great! There's a few great sites out there with weight watch points calculated.
I have an extra 14 points per day because I'm ebf. I'm wondering if anyone knows...my DS will be starting solids soon. At what point do I cut my extra points down? I know once he is on solids but is still breastfeeding I cut down to 7 instead of 14, but for a while the solids he will eat won't be replacing any nursing sessions. Breastmilk will still be his primary source of food.

I skipped weigh in last week. Have been so bad I didn't want to face the scale but I'm forcing myself to go tonight. I'm sure I've gained but I need to see where I'm at so I can get myself straight again. Its been like this since I was sick the entire week of Christmas.

TTCinBC - I was wondering the same thing - Eva is going to start solids soon ... I really don't want to cut my points down though so am holding her off till she is 6 months! Hopefully I can lose quite a bit more weight in the next 5 weeks before I start cutting my points back.

I had weigh in today and lost 2lbs - very happy with that as it is time of te month and I feel super bloated!

Hello ladies, I'm officially back!!
Annabel is now almost 10 weeks old and the light and love of our lives! She is just too gorgeous for words - but then every mother says that of their LO's!
Well I landed up putting on 21 extra lbs!! So I re-joined WW 2 weeks ago and have lost 6.5lbs so far! Really proud of that weight loss in just 2 weeks.

 

[Try Rocking]

Holy crap you had her already! Congratulations!!! Great job not putting on so much weight and already losing a good chunk of it!

Hi ladies. I'd like to join please. I have over 100lbs to lose

I re joined weightwatchers last Thursday after failing miserably at weight watchers online!!

The leader was so kind and supportive I actually cried

 

[Try Rocking]

Embo You can do it and we're here for you!

I had over 100 lbs to lose when I started too (140.6 to be exact). You can do it! Just get past the bad days and start again.

 

[Tilliepink]

Ive got 100lbs to lose so your not alone! Good job and getting back at it I know how hard it is.

 

[Embo78]

Thanks so much ladies. Reba your weightloss is amazing. Such an inspiration.

Tillie have you lost so far?

I'm feeling so strong and determined at the mo. it's after two or three weeks my resolve starts to weaken. Trying to stay motivated as much as possible.

My main motivation is my health, then my wedding. And then it's looking at the boy who called me a fat bitch a couple of weeks ago. One of my daughters ex friends. I'd love to look him in the eye and say..... Look I lost the weight, what are you gonna do about your ugly mush! just kidding but I'd love for my older children to be proud of my achievement to lose weight.

 

[Vickie]

Welcome to the newbies!

I started out with 105 pounds to lose I lost it, got pregnant and am now working on the baby weight

As Rach said you will have bad days the important part is to get back on track

I WI this morning and was pleasantly surprised to have lost a pound

 

[TTCinBC]

Hi em!! Glad you've made it over!

Bah I went and weighed in today, even though i normally on wednesdays, because I haven't for a few weeks. Needless to say...I gained 5 lbs in 2 weeks! How is that possible? Please say water retention from eating bad? Please? Lol went straight out and stocked my fridge with kots and lots of fruits and veggies. Had a chicken ceasar wrap for lunch and it was so yummy!

Hope everyone else is good. Am on my phone so its hard to flop back and read

 

[Vickie]

it is certainly possible it's from water retention and you will probably a lose a good chunk of it quickly once you are eating healthy again

 

[Try Rocking]

Great job Vickie! Vickie was/is my inspiration for starting WW

Chelci I gained a lot in 2 days (Christmas) hopefully it's just water retention and disappears fast!

So far it looks like I'm going to have at least a bit of a loss this week!
I gained 3 lbs from getting an IV at the hospital but as of yesterday that is gone.

Well I'm gonna WI tomorrow morning but I lost 4lbs in the first 3 days so ill see what the scale says in the morning.

 

[Embo78]

Wow tillie. That's awesome. Looks like we're starting at the same time

 

[Heather M]

Just catching up on here as I finally had a loss from the weight gained back at Christmas (only 3lbs thank god!). Have now lost 36lbs total which sits me at 190lbs and 16lbs off of the top of my bmi
I'm glad I read through since I was here last because I didn't realize I had to cut my breastfeeding points when my dd went on solids. So that means I've been eating 7 more points more than i probably "needed" to. Can't lie, a little sad to see those come off my dailies as up til now it hasn't felt like I've been on too much of a diet and it will force me to be just a little more healthy lol
I think I'm back in the swing of things with keeping on track but it's definitely hard to get back in the mindset after the holidays!

 

[TTCinBC]

Well I had talked to some other ladies about it and we all think it would make sense to not cut those points in half until our babies start dropping nursing sessions. So for me, that probably won't be for a few more months. I'm nit sure where your dd is at solid wise but definitely take that into consideration. I'm going to be sad to see mine go too! It will also mean my baby is growing up and that's sad!

 

[Heather M]

I think I'll cut the points and see how my milk production is. We BLW and she's taken to it incredibly well from the get go so she eats ANYTIME we eat or she gets mad. I don't track her feedings but I would say she is pretty equal on the breast/eating solids at this point...it's sad how quickly it all shifts. It makes me want another but probably not in the cards unfortunately!
