Hey Lizadee...you can do this!! Keep us posted and let's cheer each other on. I'm glad you're aboard!!

My weekly WW Weigh-in result.

Lost: .8 pounds
Total: 5.4 pounds

I was called up to the front of the room, given a big hug by my Leader and also given a red bookmark that says "I've lost 5 pounds". Oh yeah, I also received a round of applause, which was very nice.

Okay, I'm going to force feed all the Girl Scout cookies to my son, husband and pet doxie so that the cookies are out of the house!! (I'm just kidding about feeding cookies to the dog!) LOL

Another 1 1b gone - 8 so far. I didn't manage to drop my points last week so I'll try this week. I feel great and got into a smaller pair of jeans this week so that's motivating. I just have to try to forget how much more I have to lose and take it 5-10 at a time. :)

Lisa that's so true--I tried to look at the small picture more than the big one when i first started out--i think if i thought tooo much about having to loose 60lb i would have scared myself LOL..but 5-10 lbs seemed manageable..Plus i rewarded myself for those 10 lbs with a charm LOL :)

Enbwife, Did you say JEANS yuk I can't stand putting any on right now
I wish I could wear sweats to work LOL

Nancy, my reward would be a new pair of jeans in a smaller size I don't think I would buy any butt maybe just to fit in a smaller size that are just sitting in my drawers collecting dust

Way to go Ekbok keep up the good work

Yea!! for all the weight loss!! You are all doing GREAT! I lost 3.5 lbs after the first week on WW. Since I already know a little about activity points I am really ready to add the exercise to my routine. My DH is doing WW with me which is making things eaiser. He is actually the one who likes to cook and has made some of the recipies that Nancy posted in the WW recipies thread. Thanks for the encouragement!

Lizadee, you are exactly at the weight I was when I decided ENUFF!! my daughter was 2 years old at the time too. I lost 45 pounds in a matter of months using weight training (and of course no junk food) but nothing gets rid of fat like muscle... so Good Luck! You go Girl!

Thanks Dahli,
It is 9:35 right now and I go in at noon today for my first weigh in since I started my diet last Wed.
I can't wait I feel real good about this and I think I lost a couple of lbs already
I will let you know when I get back
And I can't wait till I fell better and look better this summer

WOOOO HOOOO

4.8 lbs. in 1 week I know I can't expect that every week but what a motivator to see the scale go down instead of up

I was going to do the excerise thread but I don't know how anyone wanna help
I walked 3x this last week I am shooting for 4x this week maybe going every other day

WOOO HOOOO

Lizadee, you get your exercising self over to the thread right now! You just post how many miles you walked or biked or skated or whatever. Add to your daily total and the group total. Congrats on the weight loss!

Congratulations on reaching goal, Nancy! That is awesome! You are such an inspiration.

I have lost about 6 pounds, 2 more pounds to go and I will be at my pre-pregnancy weight, I think. It took me 14 months to get there when I had my son...only about 3 months now, so I am thrilled! I haven't been counting points like I should, just trying to eat sensibly. I would love to lose another 14 pounds...we will see how it goes.

Congrats to everyone! It sounds as though you are all doing great! Keep it up!

Yay Jbean! You are doing really good!

When I feel stressed, I want to eat. The war stuff isn't helping.

Great job everyone! I've had a really hard time getting motivated this week and found myself eating dessert a lot and not writing down my food. :( I weighed in yesterday and had gained 1/2 1b so that was a good wake up call.

It's soooo slow this time and I think it's because of the nursing. I really need to drop a couple of points (I've been saying that for 2 weeks now) and up the water intake. I will try and get more motivated this week and leave my journal out where I can see it every day. I've been exercising a lot which I know helps me a lot.

Wish me luck!

Wishing you success Enbwife! You CAN do it! I feel the stress too Egbok. I missed my meeting because I was out of town at a Workshop but my own scales (calibrated to match WW scales) say I lost 2.5 this week for a total of 6lbs. We won't meet next week since it is Spring Break so I have two weeks until next official weigh in. I plan to do a lot of activity over break so I am looking forward to good results. Stick with it everyone.

Enbwife, keep writing in your journal. I feel so strongly that writing in your journal will be the key to your continuing success. You are making yourself accountable by taking the time and effort to write down everything that you eat.

Journaling has been very important to me and that's why I suggest it to you. I must admit, it does take time to look up some of those points but in the long run, it will be worthwhile and helpful as a resource. Good luck!!

Pixie, wow...you're coming right along with a total of 6lbs lost!! Woo Hoo! Have fun over your Spring Break and enjoy the activities you have planned.

And Jbean, sounds like you're making it work for you with losing 9lbs already...super! We're gonna do this and be feeling so much better in a few months!!

My Thursday WW weigh-in:

Lost: 1.6
Total: 9.4

I'm stressing this week and when that happens, the first thing I want to do is shove food into my mouth. It's totally amazing to me to realize that I was doing this with stress. I resisted the urge and kept myself busy to avoid the unnecessary eating. I noted that I wasn't even hungry. I'm glad that I had this self-realization.
