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

[kwood]

Sorry to hear you are having a bad week Vickie..but sounds like it is getting better.

I'm doing well this week. Weigh in tomorrow so will see if it pays off. Haven't had a gain or zero movement yet so hoping that doesn't happen tomorrow.

 

[Vickie]

How was your WI kwood??

 

[kwood]

I stayed to same..but I am okay with that..I remember when I lost loads last time I would often stay the same or small gain one week and then have a big loss the next week so here's hoping.

Hi ladies

I am totally shocked, just WI and have lost 2.5lbs... I'm at goal! I have been quite good this week but never expected that, must be low on bloat atm.

Anyway I have 2 meals out this week and its my birthday on Tuesday so fully expect a gain next week lol!

Might try and go a little lower ...will see how much I put on this week and how much I feel next WI.

Hope you are all ok xx

 

[kwood]

Congrats Cat Lover that is such great news. Even if you do gain with your celebrations you will be able to get it off again soon.

weigh in day --lost another 2lbs! WOOHOO!!! Im now at 167, goal is 140. Im moving right on along!!!

So...I discovered Desani sparking flavored waters, YUM! Been downing those like I used to down soda. there is no calories and no suger, and no sodium in it. Its just carbonated water with a bit of natural flavoring! I actually cracked open a budlight lime -razbrrita last night drank maybe half of it if that and went back to my water! I think this is why Im loosing good again!

 

[cat lover]

Well done Bartness!. The water sounds nice. Unfortunately i cannot drop my wine habit lol!

Please help me I can't stop eating!

I seem to have lost the plot with this and I was doing so well

I think it's because as I near my goal weight it's like I count my points but don't seem as bothered if I go over.... Not good. I do still have weight to lose

Every day I feel 'down' at the idea of not having anything tasty. Just need to get my head back into it I think...

 

[cat lover]

Ah Kwood i have so many days where i think screw this, wheres the fun in food anymore? i dont know how u can change your mindset but u can always vent here xx

I was out for dinner with the ILs last night and OH and i are out for a curry tonight as its my birthday i feel quite naughty as i know next WI wull be horrendous. Indian food is mega high in pp but hey, i love it, havent had an indian since i started ww and im not holding back! lol yx

I think changing mindset is the hardest part..when I'm in the 'zone' I don't mind eating well and feel better for it and for the most part don't mind being on weight watchers but then sometimes something just snaps that is it I go crazy. Don't have a happy medium for some reason. But this time any time I'm about to snap I'm going to tell myself that there are so many things I want to do in life and being fat isn't one of them - hopefully it will work plus I have you lovely ladies to talk me down from the edge if need be..hahah.

I wouldn't worry about the pp in the Indian..it's your birthday and the PP don't count :wink wink: You have to still enjoy life and if that means taking a break every once in awhile I think that is a good way to keep going long term.

I feel like a cheerleader (I guess I'm the peepy American) but I would just draw a line under the extra food and move on. Get load of fruit and veg in and then when you are feeling like munching then you have something to go to.

I know you won't have lots of points as you are close to goal but try to have something you like everyday so that you don't feel deprived. I tend to have a curly wurly because I love chocolate and it gives me that fix for only 3 points - and it last awhile because it is so chewy.

Thanks cheerleader!!!

Wow is a curly wurly only 3 points? That is excellent info I will be investing!! I've given choc up for lent so as of Easter Sunday I can indulge again. But working my points this time....!

Hello ladies, can I join?

I've been on WW for two weeks now, lost 5lb so far; hoping to get to my goal weight by Christmas. I have three kids, and I'm losing the baby weight from my FIRST pregnancy; I was lucky enough not to gain anything in my second and third pregnancy , however I did gain 50lb with my first

I'm doing the old points system; basically when I lived in the UK I went to WW meetings, but here they don't run any, so I can't get the new books or info, so I'm just using my old books.

Quick qu, do you know if there's a recipe thread anywhere around here? I'm looking for ideas because I want to cook meals for the entire family, but they need to be healthy to work with my diet.

 

[Vickie]

Well done on the losses everyone I've been updating the front page but haven't had much time to reply. The weather here is FINALLY nice enough to get out so the kids and I spend a good part of the day outdoors

Welcome Lara310809! Great job on your 5 pounds so far!

There's not a recipe thread that I'm aware of? What types of recipes are you looking for? I use a few WW cookbooks some but mostly I just try to cook lower fat meats and watch my portion control.

As for me last week was bad. *sigh* Doing well this week but doubt I'll lose.

 

[kwood]

How's everyone doing? Had a good week and lost 2.5 lbs :happy dance:

I had to do a presentation to my old boss today (he is still in our company but got a big promotion) as a thanks he got me a box of these https://img.tesco.com/Groceries/pi/780/5016346219780/IDShot_225x225.jpg
- over 1 lb of chocolate, just what I need . They are sitting on my desk unopened, thinking I will have to give them out because I will gain back all of my weight if I eat that much chocolate.

 

[cat lover]

Fab, Kwood well done!

Re chocs, how about opening them in the office? everywhere ive worked, any chocs have disappeared in a day or so lol! maybe treat yourself to one or 2 though

 

[kwood]

Thanks cat lover..I did just that today I just walked around with them and shared them out..my colleague took them to our warehouse and they were finished off very quickly. :happy dance: old me would have ate the whole box…..

 

[Boo44]

Well done kwood that's some willpower! Chocolate is my weakness ... X

 

[Allie84]

Hi guys!! :wave: May I join?

I live in Edinburgh but am American and had success with WW in the past in the US. I have a 2 year old and I've gained nearly 50 lbs since that pregnancy/giving birth. I want to get back to my Pre-pregnancy weight. It will also put me at a 'normal' BMI.

I'm doing the same things I've always done but for some reason my post baby body doesn't work the same and I just kept gaining weight. I think I need to be really strict with myself now, unlike before!

Anyways, I'm going back on WW and hope to join you ladies here!

 

[Vickie]

Great job kwood! That's some awesome willpower

Welcome Allie!
