Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

KIM!!!! I am so proud of how wonderful you did this week. I know this is one thing you've really been working on and you handled it like such a pro!!!! 55 next week!!!! Yeah!!!!



I was up .2 lbs this week! I know exactly why though - had a bachelorette party on Saturday, a bridal shower on Sunday. Then went out for FIL's birthday on Friday (Mama Lombardi's) Will definitely have a better week next week

ETS: Oh I forgot to say I had a major NSV this week! I ran my first 5k today and I am addicted already!! It felt awesome and I worked my azz off to hit my personal goal. Did it in 35 and change and had like an 11m20s mile pace. It was scary because I had wanted to do one for so long and I finally just went for it. Now I can't wait for the next one!!

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

That is awesome! I'm loving all these success stories!

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

Well, at last, I am officially joining you ladies!!!!!! I signed up for the online sessions since my schedule is pretty tight and I can't tell you how much I love the Flex Plan Points System! It totally makes sense now why I couldn't lose weight despite the fact that I thought I was eating less but in reality I wasn't. This points system is great and is keeping me in check thus far! Also, the fact that I am tracking what I eat and have to write it all down and being careful not to go over my points is also keeping me in check!

Overall I am aso happy I joined so far! My goal is to really drop over 30 lbs and I know its going to be a long process but I have set mini goals (10%) for now and I am so excited to work towards it!

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

Welcome Sylvia I love new people who are just so excited about the program Good luck!!!


I am down 1.8 lbs today
Total: 69 lbs

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

Welcome Sylvia! And congrats on a good week Azad.

I weighed in this morning, down 2 for a total o 10.4. I switched my weigh in time this week, I usually go in the evening, but I still would have been down. It feels good to see that first 10 pounds gone forever!

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

I stayed the same this week, and Im fine with it... We were away the past 2 weekends, and I havent been eating so well- so Im just grateful I didnt gain...

Still 2lbs to goal...


ETA- to everyone else this week!!!

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

I just rejoined with my doctors permission last night. I was doing it on my own but felt I need more support so I rejoined. Today is my first day!

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

Everyone is doing great!! Congrats on running the 5k Azad. I am sooo proud of you! You motivate me every day to keep going!!

WI was great! -.6 and hit my next mini goal. New total is -55.4!

And tomorrow is my -50 pound reward to myself...a day at the spa! Going for hair color and cut, massage and facial! Can't wait!

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

kim...that's wonderful enjoy your day of pampering

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

AZAD - I am soooo proud of you and the 5 K

Sylvia - Come to the meetings on Sunday at 7:30. I'll pick you up!

I didn't go to WI last Sun because I was on vacation. I ate everything in site...it was actually pretty scary. I went on three hikes and only worked out (officially) once. I know the hikes were a workout, but still. Now I'm nervous for tomorrow. I really wouldn't be surprised if it's like +5.

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

Great job everyone!!!

Kim congrats on hitting 55!!! Hope you enjoy your spa day

Steph, I am sure it is not as bad as you think. Best thing to do is just to get back on program, have a great week and get your fresh start next weekend when you weigh in

I am the same way when I am on vacation. It's so sick how all your good habits can just disappear so easily sometimes I need to work on that....

i can't agree with u more on this

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

Well, I nearly fell over....

-1, total -72.8

Azad, like you said...it is so scary how quickly all those bad habits just come running back. I really feel like I gained. it's weird...I'm so bloated and sluggish. I need to work on that as well. Just because I am not home doesn't mean I can go to heLL with myself

On a better note, this marks exactly one year since I decided to join WW. It's amazine at the difference between last year and this one. This year we went hiking, biking, walking (still can't run ), we never stayed at the house. Last year, it was a project just to go to the lake and we drove everywhere. I walked at LEAST two miles every day this year And we had so much more fun! But now I need a rest

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

WOW!!!!! Steph congrats on such a huge accomplishment!!! Honestly, had you not lost weight you still had a major victory!! The loss is just icing on the cake Congrats!!!

I am the SAME way with vacations - I feel so incredibly bloated and sluggish too. It always makes me wonder why I do it if it doesn't make me feel good in any way whatsoever. We are going on a cruise in February - I am so determined to not let it get out of hand this time! Good thing I have time to mentally prepare

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

Congrats on the loss Steph...that is AWESOME!! I am the same way with vacation. But I just enjoy and get right back on track when I get home. A girl's gotta have some fun!

And congrats on the one year mark! You are doing amazingly! I definitely think me and Azad should come to one of Marianne's meetings one of these days. She is awesome and it would be great to meet you.

But, now I know for the next time...

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

Hi ladies, can I join you???

I signed up for WW, yet again, this past Saturday. I've been on it many times in the past and always had success but something caused me to stop each time. The last time I joined was July of 2007. It was a slow go but I lost almost 15 pounds. Then I did an IVF cycle and got pg so I had to stop. I had a m/c and then a major breakout of hives where I had to take steroids. Then I did another IVF cycle and failed. My doctor and I discussed my failed cycle and decided that I need to loose at least 30 pounds before I try again. So, here I am.

I weighed in on Saturday and almost had a heart attack. I've gained 20 pounds since January! I guess the 2 IVF cycles and the steroids from the hives in addition to eating like a pig really took it's effect.

I'm really motivated this time and reading through your posts has helped me even more.

I am trying Core this week. My dr. suggested I try low carb so I figured this was the best for me. So far, on day 3, I'm doing pretty well. I just need to stay motivated!!!

Thanks ladies!

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

Hi There!!

Can I join too. I just restarted WW last week. I did it in 2005, and lost 30 lbs. Not the total I wanted to lose but I was able to maintain that for a while..until spring 2007 when I began to try to get PG and had to deal with fertility issues.

I am now 10 months PP, and back to weighing just 4 lbs less than the first time I joined WW in '05.

So far with second weigh in I have lost 2.2lbs. I am doing the CORE, so if anyone can recommend some GREAT recipies, please do

I have weigh in tomorrow, and i am going out to eat with the girlies tonight....OUCH!

Anyway, My names Lu-Ann, and I look forward to be a " LOSER"!!

Re: Official 2008 WW Thread!!!

I want to join too. I start my first ww meeting tomorrow. Kinda psyched, kinda scared. We'll see how it goes. Good luck to all the newcomers and congrats to everyone who's lost weight. You girls are my inspiration!!
