Abbynormal | Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 11:08 am     Ok, so Hubby is out of town, I am like a woman possessed. I went back on the weight watchers points yesterday. I have not signed up this time, I have all the books and will do it at home for now. After I took DS to school I went and walked at the church which has an indoor track. 18 times around that sucker makes 1 mile. So 2 miles for me so far and I have to say my legs are a little sore today! I have stuck with it today and I feel proud of myself. It's easier when I don't have hubby here asking me if I want some ice cream! Oh, and I drank a gallon of water yesterday and am half way there today, and I gotta tell ya, I am tired of peeing. Next week's goal is 1 1/2 miles a day. So! I have officially joined this thread. |

Lizadee | Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 11:11 am     Well I'm kinda bummed today My weigh in was the same as last week I was suppose to get measured today but both of us were in a hurry So I have to wait till nxt.week I guess I should be happy that I didn't gain now I know I have to step up my excerise a little to get my metabo.moving My weight 155 and holding !!!!!! |
Denecee | Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 11:33 am     Lizadee, I think it's harder to lose the last 20 lbs even if that's all you have to lose in the first place. My co-worker just told me that I need to pick up my walking pace in order to lose weight. I walk on avg a 14 minute mile, so I'm going to try to get down to a 13 minute mile then 12 then will see what happens. |
Nancy | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 03:27 pm     hi everyone--i'm pretty much maintaining these days which is fine--i'm below goal--so although i really want to reach my personal goal(5 more lbs) i don't feel like i have to do it by xx date. I just signed up today for a cancer walk my company sponsors--i've never even felt like attempting something like that but i feel like i can and will do it now |
Egbok | Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 07:41 pm     Nancy, that must be such a great feeling of being in control to meet your goal. It sounds like maintenance is going good for you. Best of luck with your walk. Tonight was my WW weigh-in. Lost this week: 2 pounds <I'm pretty sure I lost these pounds in my right index finger last night while scrolling for 2 hours straight. This is a Games thread inside joke!> Total lost: 15.6 |
Enbwife | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 07:34 am     Weighed in last night and lost 2.5 1bs - woo hoo!!! That is the most I've lost in 1 week since joining WW - breakthrough! I dropped a point this week and exercised more, plus tried to get more water into me. I guess it all worked... yayyy for me! 10.5 gone, 30 to go.... 1 1b at a time. Now we all just have to get through a long weekend full of chocolate - ha ha! |
Lizadee | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 08:58 am     Thank goodness I am not big on chocolate |
Hootyhoot | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 07:44 pm     My health insurance includes 12 Weight Watcher coupons upon request ... and mine arrived today. So I'll be joining up on Tuesday. The meetings I'll go to are at a local hotel with a pool, so I'll renew my pool membership at the same time ... so here I go ... diet and exercise! Wish me luck! |
Jbean | Friday, April 18, 2003 - 07:55 pm     didn't come here last week because i never weighed myself, but i weighed tonight at the gym and i am down 2 more pounds (from 2 weeks ago), for a total loss of 13 pounds. i was shocked because i haven't been as good as i had been, but that is mostly on the weekends. i am happy though. i don't feel like i have really lost that much, but my pants are getting loose, and people are commenting to me that i am slimming down. |
Enbwife | Saturday, April 19, 2003 - 10:43 am     Good luck Hooty, and good job Jbean! |
Denecee | Monday, April 21, 2003 - 02:11 pm     Well, I made it through Easter weekend without gaining any weight! Every year I usually eat lots of candy but this year I din't. |
Egbok | Monday, April 21, 2003 - 07:58 pm     Good for you Denecee! |
Enbwife | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 07:39 am     Wish I could say the same but the chocolate (my weakness) got the better of me... oh well... today is a new day. |
Ginger1218 | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 10:07 am     Ok, I started my diet yesterday. I have been through them all. I am now doing this with a nutritionist/dietician. She has sculpted a program for me. She also does hypnosis. I am feeling okay. My problems are not with chocolate or cake, but with bread, pasta, pretzels, those kinds of carbs. So, I have cut that to very very small amounts. I will start walking now that the weather is nice. So, we will see in 10 days how it is working. |
Denecee | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 11:15 am     Welcome Ginger! My problem is with everything, I love all food-dang it! My real problem is the weekends. I'll do great Monday-Friday and then I sabotage my whole week with some pizza or eating out. Anyway, I'm wishing you great success! |
Abbynormal | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 11:35 am     Lost 4 lbs. I am thinking of going to the WW meetings. I am heavier now than the last time and I don't think my points are high enough. I am always hungry! Anyone with an updated book know how many points 140 lbs should be eating? I have been eating 22 points, is that enough? |
Ginger1218 | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 01:19 pm     Denecee you can have a slice of pizza, but then you have to watch what else you eat that day. |
Denecee | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 01:30 pm     That's right! Last Saturday, I had 5 slices of pizza throughout the day. I know that sounds bad but I didn't eat anything else plus I walked 4 miles too. Excuses, excuses. It was my in-laws fault for wanting pizza at our get together. Dang in-laws! |
Nancy | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 02:42 pm     abby your range would be 18-23 pts--but if you exercise a lot you can eat up to 4 of your exercise points as well |
Bakerygirl | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 05:24 pm     I weighed in last night. I lost 5.6 lbs last week. I was so happy. I've lost a total of 10 lbs. in 3 weeks! |
Nancy | Tuesday, April 22, 2003 - 06:51 pm     yeah bakery girl--i loved those initial few weeks losses--and definitely props to you for doing it while working in a bakery!!

Pixie | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 08:39 pm     Hi everyone! I am so glad to see so many people making the commitment to get healthy. It is an encourgement to me to get back on the band-wagon. I had a little accident last week. I was attacked by a wobbling rock. Actually I stepped on a rock that rolled out from under me and sent me sprawling. I sprained my left foot and fractured my right arm. What an excuse for not exercising and eating whatever I wanted. But.. I did weigh in both weeks at no change. Which I thought was good considering. And yesterday I started over again counting ALL the points I ate and writing in my journal. I am thankful for the 10 lbs that I have already lost and now I am working on the next 10. You are all GREAT!!! |
Egbok | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 10:28 pm     Oh poor Pixie! How terrible that a wobbly rock attacked you - LOL! I hope that the sprain and fracture heal up quickly. As for eating whatever you wanted...well, that's to be expected with such trauma but I'm glad that you are back to journaling...it's really the key for successful weight loss. Boy, do I ever sound like a WW commericial with that last line. LOL My Thursday WW weigh-in: Lost this week: 1.2 pounds Total Lost: 16.8 pounds I'm still not exercising on a regular basis but I'll keep considering it. |
Bakerygirl | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 03:13 pm     WW weigh in: Lost 1 pound last week.. Total is 11.. I'm not going to the meetings anymore because it's too expensive. I joined the gym instead and going to stick to my points so maybe it will move along faster. I am really excited about getting to work out, I love it! Plus alot cheaper than weight watcher meetings and I get to tan! I'll keep weighing in on Monday's at the gym. |
