dmc6469 Posted September 10, 2012 #726 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I’m happy to say that I started WW on January 2 of this year. As of today’s weigh in, I have lost 47 lbs! I am so thrilled. I have a little over 1 lb to my goal. My sister and I booked a cruise for April and my motivation is to be able to stay in a bikini that week! I went from a size 18 to a 6 now. I already have plans to get up early at least 5 days and workout. Never thought I would like exercising but I love it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc6469 Posted September 10, 2012 #727 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Half a pound down is half a pound DOWN! That's great. That's especially good if you had a stressful week. Way to go. You are half a pound DOWN, not UP, so that's awesome ;) Always think of it that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc6469 Posted September 11, 2012 #729 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thank you Ginny. I am. Its nice when people at work ask you when you are done dieting because you are looking good and must be at goal.

nancydru Posted September 11, 2012 #733 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I would like to join you all if I may. I am a 36 year old wife and mother of 2. I have been on WW points plus on and off for about a year. Down about 17 pounds but would like to lose at the very least 30 more. I know I won't be able to lose that much in time for my cruise in 67 days. I'm just now getting back "on the wagon". I am a size 12/14 but very short so I have a long way to go. I have been gaining and losing the same 5 pounds for months! :eek: I feel that if I could just get past those 5 pounds I can push forward. Thanks for having me. I hope being here with you will keep me on track! Shelley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunchesofun Posted September 11, 2012 #734 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Welcome! I've got probably 125 to lose, but hope to lose another 10 before our cruise on Dec 2nd. That would make 25 down from when I started in June (I'd previously lost 24 pounds on my own) We have 12 weeks to go so am hopeful I can do it. I know what you mean about losing the same pounds over and over. I lost the same 10 for a year and a half. It gets very depressing. You think you've started and then wham! there they are back again!

CrimsonQueen Posted September 12, 2012 #735 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I am down 5.8 pounds, as of weigh-in last night! Still have a long "weigh" to go, but at least I'm heading in the right direction! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunchesofun Posted September 12, 2012 #736 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Wow, that's great! I'm not expecting much of a loss, if any this week. I weigh myself every morning and it hasn't gone down since last WI day. :( Oh well, it will eventually come off, I just wish it were faster!

dmc6469 Posted September 13, 2012 #737 Share Posted September 13, 2012 How do you know that you are addicted to looking good? Sitting here at the office and thinking about what workouts are on the agenda tonight, how long to walk the dogs and what healthy thing is for dinner. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunchesofun Posted September 13, 2012 #738 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Went to weigh in this morning. I lost .4 Oh well, it's .4 in the right direction. I do wish I could lose a little more each week though. Eleven weeks until our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best to all of you to have great WI's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubby Posted September 15, 2012 #741 Share Posted September 15, 2012 It has been great reading about all the losses you guys have experienced. I have not been able to get to a WW meeting for over 3 weeks. I started out quite well but spent the past week visiting Ottawa and Toronto. When I stepped on the scale this morning I am up almost 2 pounds. It is those same 2 that I had trouble with in the spring. They keep finding me. I know that I cannot get into the extra points without gaining, and that is exactly what I have done. My weight is up but my clothes still fit well and so I know that my body has changed shape and for that I am grateful. Now to get back on track as our cruise and holiday in Spain is looming in another 4 weeks. Nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunchesofun Posted September 15, 2012 #742 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Nikki, just don't give up! That's what's happened to me in the past when I've had a major plateau. I've slowly started giving up, and before you know it all the hard work is lost and I've gained it all back. Just do the best that you can and don't dwell on the numbers. As you said, your clothes still fit so obviously something is going on with your body that is not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shari08 Posted September 15, 2012 #743 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Can I join? I started a little over a week ago (online) and lost 4lbs but was eating more lower carbs. I've been doing Atkins for years, lost really well but have been struggling the past year or so gaining and relosing the same pounds. I wanted to try something different but am having a hard time giving up that 'low carb' menatality. I felt too restrictive counting points and carbs so I've given up counting carbs and just eat to daily points now. Do most of you all count just points? I've slacked off with exercising so I need to get back into that too. You all seem like a good support system so it's very encouraging to read the success you all have had thus far. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost over 10 pounds recently but had a really bad week this week. I feel like I may be up 5 lbs or more. Every time I lose some weight I gain some back. I guess it is back to WW again.

FlaGrl4Evr Posted September 16, 2012 #746 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I haven't checked in with this board in awhile. I am a lifetime but have creeped up to the top of my weight span for my height. I would like to lose an additional 20 lbs which would put me towards the lower half. I am going to Fla in 5 weeks for a family visit and would really like to lose at least 10 more lbs before going. This past week, I stopped using any of my extra points and did have a 3.2 lb weight loss. I really love my extra points for a treat, glass of wine or a cold beer on weekends. I have been making due though. I have been eating the same breakfast every morning and found a cereal that keeps me full all the way through lunch. Special K High Protein 3/4 cup serving with 1/2 cup of skim milk. 4 points total. I have started saving my breakfast banana for an afternoon snack instead of slicing it up in my cereal as I am used to doing. I am one that still watches my banana consumption. I guess I'm just used to the old system where they were 2 pts. Wishing everyone good losses for this coming week. Cari in Indy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND....I need to start exercising as well. Not for the extra points...but to help with the weight loss. At my age, I have to eat healthy AND exercise to lose weight.

gubby Posted September 19, 2012 #750 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I was down 4.6 pounds this week!:) Congrats on a great weight loss. That exercise is really paying off for you! I have a WI at noon today for the first time since Aug 22. I think I am up between 2 and 3 pounds ,but could be in for a shock! I didn't track faithfully, had more than my normal amount of wine, ate out a number of times, and indulged more than once. On the positive side, I walked a lot, and used the treadmill on rainy days. I know that I don't lose if I start with my extra points and I had to have done that at least one of the weeks. Without tracking properly, it is hard to know. I will post here this afternoon in order to get the motivation I am going to need in order to stay in the game. Nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
