suzanna Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Greetings Ladies and Gents, Are there any WW out there? I have decided to give myself a early X-Mas present and join on-line. Several years ago, I lost 50 lbs with WW and now I have gain "just a little" back...so I am back on.

barbann03 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi Sue, I just joined in late October and have lost 11 1/2 pounds so far. I have a weigh in and meeting this morning. Hoping to see some loss as I did not lose last week. But my clothes are already fitting better!!! It\'s going to be hard to stay motivated over the holidays though. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Sue like you I lost and gained. I\'d give it a go here .... I\'ll keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Add me to the list. I\'ve been going for about 1 year, have lost about 35 so far, and want it to be more. I know, the slower it comes off, the better. However..... My husband complimented me on the weight loss the other night, so that helps. Holidays are harder when there are all the goodies floating around, also my stress level has been up with mom, but should be going down again, and therefore, so should my weight!

suzanna Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Yes, I agree that the holidays can be the hardest. I found out the last time that I worked real hard the weeks up to the holiday and than I could enjoy myself with moderation. But, I found myself not eating much...surprized I guess would be the word for it. Instead of Pumpkin pie, try this...one spice cake mix - mix with one can of pumpkin - put in muffin pan and bake (can\'t remember amount of time, but us your judgment)..they are only 1 point each. Try them with Fat Free Cool Whip...YUM YUM We will stay in tounch and share our weight losses!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsbishwit Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I don\'t do WW or Jenny Craig or any of those places but I do try to stick to an exercise routine (currently on hold until after the holidays) and watch what I eat. I do cardio 3 days a week and weight lift 2 days a week and I eat 5-6 smaller balanced meals a day that are low fat and I try to cut out all refined sugar and over processed foods. you would be suprised at how much weight comes off by just cutting out the junk/ nibbling in between meals. I was a size 6 right out of high school and am still a size 6 even with 18 years of marriage and given birth to 5 kids. The key to weight loss is to make sure you burn off more calories each day than you eat...so make wise food choices and exercise. Good luck and keep us posted so we can cheer you on to keep you motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsktsn3cats Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I\'m a WW too. Hubby and I have been going for about 18 months. He lost 106 and I lost 67 but.......we have both gained a little back. I need to go back down 11 lbs and would love to join your little support group!

barbann03 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi, I weighed in and lost two pounds for a total of 13 1/3 pounds. Almost ready for a new pair of jeans!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Sue, I need to go back. I worked for WW for 4 years. I was the Southern Michigan/Northern Indiana supervisor. I lost 75 lbs and have gained about 45 back since I quit 6 years ago. Tracie, WOW to both you and DH, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I too need to get back on my WW! I have lost 35 lbs twice. Each time I have gained it back it was over a couple of years and it always stress induced. The last time I was on it I was just recovering from a lung problem. My lung collapsed 12 times over a two year period. Turned out to be endometriosis in my lung! I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago and haven\'t had a collapse since. Unfortunately menopause just didn\'t help with weight control at all. I go down 10 - 15 lbs and then slowly but surely I get off track. My biggest problem is time...I need to make the time to make the right food choices. Bad excuse I know but I\'m waiting for the holidays to be over and then I\'ll get back on track. Maybe I can be down 30 lbs by summer! Heidi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I\'ll be thinking of you all tomorrow when I go for my Thrus. at work meeting. After the first of the year, I\'ll really get back on track, and start doing 2 meetings a week. I love my leader, she does both meetings, and the support from the other people in our groups is great. I don\'t think I\'ll be down much, if at all this week, but at least I\'m still making the meeting. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I lost 40 pounds last year on WW. Have gained 12 back and will be getting back in the gym on Monday. I\'m in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzanna Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Weigh to go everyone (did you get the pun)....we will support each other through this hard process. I do the menu\'s on line and they are great. You get a weeks worth of menus and a shopping list and you don\'t have to decide what is for supper...how good is that. (You do get to choose from about 5-6 things on the menu for each meal, so you don\'t have to make something that you decided you didn\'t like.) So, it is off to make my Cereal with Raisins and Milk Lunch will be a Garden Vegetable Burger and for my supper Honey-Soy Chicken with Mango Salsa - YUM-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabric007 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hey, I am a WW also..been at it on line since 2003..I have lost over 30...four crept up over the fall and am struggling to remove them...I decided not to wait until after the holidays to work at it, it probaly would be 8 or more then. Jus remember all WW \'s cool whip is a vegetable (just a joke, I think I know better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Just remember that over the holiday desserts spelled backward is stressed. Scope out the food before filling up your plate and if there is a dessert that you want plan your points around it so you aren\'t denying yourself that. We all know that if you tell the inner 2 yr old that they can\'t have that dessert they will throw a fit and you will wind up eating it any way and then feel worse and if you are like me think well I\'ve blown it might as well eat more and really blow it.... Sorry 4 years of being a WW leader. I know how can I be a leader and let myself gain most of it back. Well I got sick about 4 years ago and couldn\'t hardly move for a year. Being a depression eater and not being able to excercise at all, it just adds up. I was thinking about going back and this might be the kick in the pants that I need. I\'ll let you know.

CarolAnnM Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I to am a WW, having lost 35 lbs since March. I have not lost any since October, but I do plan to ATTACK it once January rolls in. But I really do have a different question. There are a number of posts like these one which starts out as "NRQ - Weight Watchers....". What does "NQR" mean? I understand most of the idioms, but I can\'t figure this one out.

BethDurand Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 "NQR" Not quilting related. At least that\'s my thought. Sheryl, Thanks for the comment about the inner 2 yo. I was beginning to beat myself up for the one cookie that made it through my defenses, but then you have to remember that you can\'t deny yourself everything. Thanks to all for the support.

bsktsn3cats Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Aah yes Heidi, the stress factor....:mad: Why do we think eating will help? I wish I could figure it out. Shoot, I eat without even realizing that I\'m doing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hurray for me! Down 0.4 lbs. This is after a stressful week with mom in the hosp., and 2 nights in a row of takeout Thai food. I\'m thrilled. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizziesgirl Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 That is awesome Beth. Keep up the good work. Carol Ann, Do you eat the same amount of points everyday and about the same foods? Ours bodies are creatures of habit and when we eat the same amount of points and the same foods, our body gets use to that and goes into hibernation mode. If you stir up your points, say you always use 3 pts for Breakfast change it to 6, or if you stay at the lowest range of pts, go to the higher side for a day or two and then back. That can break a plateau. I really miss being a leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Tracie, Sure seems like it will help the stress when it is going in my mouth! LOL that is the time when my will power is non-existent! I jsut need to give myself a big kick in the pants and plan healthy! I know if I plan on things it will be fine. I don\'t like most of the frozen meals and prefer fresh/homemade...problem is TIME! I just need to take some time write down my menu choices and go from there. I don\'t like to have a menu for the week because then I\'m not in the mood for that meal...lol can you tell I\'m a spur of the moment kind of girl!

seakitten Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I lost about 20 lbs. on WW online a few months ago, still have 30 to go but just decided to ignore it for a while, too much else going on. I must say I hated the online program. I could not relate to any of the chat groups. There did not seem to be much adult, or leader, supervision; mostly people just griping about stuff. I actually did better once I stopped looking at the website & just followed the program on my own. So, I will do that again & would love to join this group. My mother passed away yesterday, after a very long illness. I am trying to make arrangements & get all the documentation together to open probate in California, so I will not be doing much else for the next couple weeks, & will probably not even check this group or my e-mail while I am over there, but I would like to start right after the first of the year.
