Topic: Well I lost but wi**** was a little more :(
I only lost 1.6 lbs this last week :( BUT... that's okay! It was still a LOSS! So my total WL for the past 3 weeks doing WW has been 12.6 lbs.
I have been allowing myself skittles to help me get ALL my water down, but decided around Wed to stop and see how well I would do omitting the skittles. I found again, that I really was just NOT getting tha****er down as well ass if I did eat some little swetts to MAKE me thirsty. So I started the skittls routine again on Sat. I guess I'll do what WORKS for me!?
So I think, had I drank ALL my water this week- I may have lost 2 pounds but instead, I lost a bit less.
Anyhow- that is my WI news :) Hope everyone has a GREAT week!!!

Topic: RE: My minds playing tricks on me
I think my mind does that sometimes as well. I am left with just a real sad DOWN feeling. And I'm not sure why!?
With me- I think I just have a hard time realizing I AM doing GOOD things FOR ME! I am my OWN WORST critic! So over all these years of being over weight- I have told myself so MANY negative things about ME... and I find some of these same negative thoughts creeping in on me again :( Kinda like... HOW CAN I be getting GOOD results? Like I am not WORTHY of getting good results? I'm not sure, but it just kinda lingers over top my head at times :(
Anyhow, not sure if this even makes sense or if what I feel is close to what you may be feeling but thought I'd share :) I have battled a great deal of depression over the past 25 years so it could just be me too :)
Hang in there- you ARE doing WONDERFUL and you will surely see GOOD results!!!

I'll be watching thos as I'd like to learn more as well! I do like you are doing- I use the bottles, measuring cups and a food scale. I don't have portion plates but I use a smaller plate to help my brain see this as ENOUGH! lol
Great post!

Topic: RE: Introducing Myself..... Long, but hey!
Welcome! I just came back here myself but use to hang out here a couple years ago- it was a VERY busy/moving forum at that time!
Sounds like you are on the right track! I don;t see anything wrong with using meds to get a good kick-start. As long as they are under a Drs watchful eye and you are healthy enough to work with it! You are doing the right thing by working on portions and exersize etc!
I joined WW a couple years ago-(online) and dropped off a few months later- just started up again on 2/22 and have lost 11/12 pounds in the past 2 weeks. I am THRILLED to feel & see it working! It feels so good to be eating right and I've gone down one full pant size :) AND- my BMI has gone down TWO points in that time :) I *LOVE* counting my BMI :) That is better to me than counting the pounds LOL
Anyhow- keep posting! Let us know how your doing!!

Topic: RE: Well I lost 2 this week!
Thank you!
Yes, routine is a must for me as well. And like you, I also have a terrible time with sweets. But I am allowing (within my points range) a sweet each day- or more every other day lately.
Along with the sweets- I crave BREADS. I am ALLOWED bread- or really ANYTHING- as long as I stay within my 25 points. But I want to MOW DOWN on breads :)
I like what someone here said recently- that NOTHING tastes as good as thin FEELS :) I am trying to remind myself of this now :)

Topic: RE: Falling off the wagon
"why you fell off the wagon? What went wrong? Can you fix what went wrong last time so it doesn't happen this time?"
I think this is where my remembering how good I felt before- (and how BAD I WANT to feel that good again!) comes in :) Because I have felt so ROTTEN. I'm not meaning 'embarassed' kind of rotten because I've learned to accept life as it has come to me (and how I have made it)- I mean how rotten I feel physically with so much extra weight.
Yes, running a daycare IS stressful. But I have had 6 of my own children as well :) Have the last 2 here to raise and my 22 y/o daughter & 15 month old grand daughter are back here with us. My daughter & I are doing this together right now but I have a feeling I'll be on my own soon as she only had about 15/20 pounds to loose. I have a WHOLE lot more LOL
I am lucky right now, in that I have only got my own grandchildren (4) in my care and another part timer- also have an infant but she will move on NEXT WEEK... so life will get far LESS stressful :)
I eat a lot of Smart Pop popcorn! That saves my bacon a LOT! Another thing I am learning is VERY important- right along with drinking LOTS of water is PORTION control! :)

All of that- made me also feel GOOD mentally :)
No, how I feel NOW (physically) is not a feeling of HOPE. I need to know that I CAN get to that healthy feeling again WHILE I am working at getting there- reflecting back on how GOOD I felt is a GOOD thing for me :)
I AM living in the NOW... but I was successful at this weight loss thing just 2 years ago and I need to know that it is not that far off :) I am going to feel more and more healthy as the weeks go by :)
For the past year I have felt very down about gaining my weight back. I told myself- 'what a WASTE OF TIME'.... then I realized that NO WAY was that loss a 'waste of time', because experiencing that loss- on my own... was what tld me I CAN DO IT :) I KNOW I can do it and I KNOW it won't take YEARS- it will just get better & better as the weeks go forward :)

I didn't realize this post was here EACH day LOL. I am just reposting what I posted below :)
I guess my 'proud' would be that I'm on day 19 of WW and I have NOT gone over my 25 points allowed per day... and I've not touched ONE of my extra 35 in this time :)
I have been drinking 12 cups of water each day for most of this time :) I drink 6 cups in the morning and 6 cups in late afternoon/evening!
AND... I have dropped 10.8 pounds in the 1st 18 days :)
CONGRATS to everyone who has worked so hard!!! You are AMAZING!

Stress! Stress THROWS ME off that proverbial wagon LOL (And... I have a daycare where I care for anywhere from 2-8 kiddos!?)
I am REALLY trying HARD to reflect back on how TERRIFIC I felt 2 years ago after dropping 35 pounds. I had gone from 1 20 pant to actually fitting into some size 14!! I had BOUNCE to my step! I enjoyed getting OUT- was MUCH more active!
AND, I don't EVER EVER want to forget how ROTTON I have felt after putting it all (plus 4) back on! I have found myself not going out of the house- not wanting to go out with my hubby AT ALL etc. I go to the store for groc. I go where I HAVE to go- nowhere else. I have become a recluse in my house! I am not comfortable moving! I get winded and I am embarassed :(
I'm just trying to work on my HEAD. Trying to remember WHY I must loose this weight and KEEP it off. Because I will be so much HEALTHIER and feel so much better :)

Topic: RE: Wooo Whoooo!
Thank you for the congrats & encouragement!!!!
LOL Holly ... I can USE the reminder on the water now and then! Actually, I have found a little trick now- if I'm having a hard time getting the water down! I learned that a small bag of skittles is only 2 points! As well as, one cup of the Honey Nut 'Scooters' (cheaper & LESS points but like Honey Nut Cheerios) So, if I'm having a difficult time with my water- I just eat 1 or 2 skittles at a time- chew them up REALLY GOOD so I can SAVOR the sweet (LOL) and it makes me thirsty! One small bag and I can get almost ALL my water in!
I had to laugh the other night as I have been using a plastic water bottle that I had bought with V8 in it- I thought it was TWO of those and I had all my water... actually MEASURED it the other night and... I've been getting SIX MORE CUPS than I really neeed! But it's WORKING and I'm not one to go and 'fix' something that's NOT broken ;)
As of this morning I am dowm 10.8 pounds in 18 days :) I can fit into one size smaller pants :) I have a LONG ways to go but I will get there yet!
Thanks again!

I have lost a total of 9 pounds as of this morning! This was the day I got to LOG my weight and in two weeks I have lost a total of NINE! That is just about a pant size :) :) Soooo happy it is WORKING!!!
There was a little box that popped up on the WW site that warned me I was loosing to fast... I'm following THEIR plan?! I am getting pretty much ALL my points in the day- within 8 or less. And I'm getting ALL my WATER in... which I still believe is KEY to weight loss.
Anyhow, I was just excited and thought I would share my woooo whoooo moment LOL

Thank you moosie12334!
I live on a small island in Alaska and we have NO meetings anywhere close to us. I'd have to ferry to a larger community which is at least $300 to get thre and back... just to make the meeting LOL (ferry/hotels etc)
So no, I'm just trying to hold tough with the online options... it worked well before and so far so good. This time around, my daughter has joined as well! She only has abut 15 pounds to loose but it has really helped to have her here working it with me :) I'm NOT looking forward to when she is done with it. She only signed on for 3 mos so?
Anyhow, hope to pop in often now- it's so nice to chat with others who are also trying to loose weight! Take care!

Hi my fellow Alaskan :) Often wondered about you as well! How are things in your neck of the woods??
Things are okay here- Yes, my daughter Kasey was preggo at the time and she had a gorgeous baby girl (Brylea- pronounced BRY-LEE) on 12/12/08. I spent 2 weeks in Juneau with her as she delivered there. Baby is now almost 15 months old! She is an absolute JOY!
It has been a rocky road since Bryleas birth- Kasey & babe were with us after birth until baby was 4 months old. She broke it off with babies dad and things were going fairly well. THEN, he came back to her with all these promises of being drug free yadda yadda yadda. Out of the blue- just after Easter last year- she moved back in with him :( I battled a DEEP depression over this and was terrified she or baby would be hurt... it was ugly. She VOWED to us- she would NEVER leave the baby alone with the father. The baby was also VERY bonded with me as my daughter had been really sick the 1st 3 months after baby came- had to have her gall bladder removed. Kas was SO GOOD about bringing her here for us to see on a daily basis & then in May she began working so I had the baby during her working hours as well.
Long story short... things got fairly abusive and my daughter & her baby moved back home with us at the end of Sept! I moved the comp out here to the living room and they have the office until they can get a new place (HARD in this dinky town!) We are now in the midst of a big custody battle between he & Kas... not to worried as he is quite well known around here and there is a custody investigator involved that we are told is VERY GOOD. The baby is so precious... we just love her to no end!
Our daughter was laid off in Jan but just got a new job this week! So I have baby enrolled in my daycare again :) LOVE it!!!!!
So how are YOU doing? How's your WL journey coming along?? How's the family? And how is the great UP NORTH??? Still there?? You had mentioned wanting to move to a warmer area?
I decided out of the blue this last week, to pull mileage together & take my daughter Kianna and we were going to Disneyland to meet my cousin I haven't seen since 1986! Then Kasey decided to go as well :) So it'll be ALL girls but we're going to California on April 2-April 9 :) Had I KNOWN this sooner- I sure would have started WW SOONER! I'll be miserable in that heat with so much weight on me! But I want to see my cousin- she has custody of her grand daughter who is just Kianna's age :) (almost 9 now!)
Good to see you are here! I hope to be here more often! WW DOES work so well for me that I really want to continue until I leave as well as when we get back. I'm going to really work HARD while on the trip but don't want to beat myself up a lot of I screw up cuz it will be hard to eat everything right while at an amusement park LOL
I was hoping to catch up on a few old friends here... did everyone move to another forum of just moved on?

Topic: Started WW on 2/22
I have about 80 pounds to loose. I joined Wigh****chers online inAugust of 07 and did quite well- lost about 35 pounds. Then messed up and just never really got back on track.
Two & a half years later- I had gained ALL that weight back- plus an extra 4 pounds. I decoded to go back to WW as I did very well on their program- it was a good fit for me. I started on February 22 and the first week I lost 6 pounds :) Last time I weighed myself- I had dropped 8.4 pounds! Not sure what the scale will say as I weigh in on Monday as it's my TOM and I figure I will not be at 8.4 loss because of that... but I can fit into a pair of size 18 pants I was unable to wear a couple weeks back :) So things ARE happening!
BTW- I use to hang out here all the time but haven't visited for a long time... I hope by not seeing many names that I know... it means they have all reached their goal weight and have such busy/active lives they just don't have time to be here anymore!!
Anxious to meet you all!
Topic: Started WW on 2/22
I have about 80 pounds to loose. I joined Wigh****chers online inAugust of 07 and did quite well- lost about 35 pounds. Then messed up and just never really got back on track.

Topic: What a month!!
I am back- not quite with the program yet but am getting myself psyched up to get started!
So this month has been flipping CRAZY!!!
I think I let you all know I went to Juneau with my dd on 11/28. My dh was life flighted to Juneau on 12/4 with a nearly ruptured appendix. DD had her baby girl on 12/12.
I came home on 12/13 and went back to work 12/15. dd and baby arrived on the ferry on 12/16. I only worked that week as my cheduled Christmas break was 12/21-12-27... started back to work today.
Dd has been staying with us since her return- she and her bf are not getting along. He is NO HELP at all with the baby and would rather hang with his looser friends than spend time with the baby :( Also, dd has been really sick. She was not getting any better and I took her to ER on Sat. They put her on "the big guns" antibiotics and she is a bit better this a.m. but very depleated :(
Baby is doing VERY well! she is a little doll!
So, all together... though I've been "on vacation" for 9 days... I've been wearing MANY hats during this time!
Laundry person
MAID!
Wife
mom to my other kids
Grma
nurse
mom of newborn
grma of newborn
chauffeur
Santa
......... you name it... I've been it!!!
Anyhow- I am hoping things get back to normal SOON! I want to drop 20 pounds in the next 2 months (would love to drop more but??) We are leaving for Disney again on 3/10 and since I've gained almost all I lost last year- back... I need to get on the ball!
So IF I've not started WW again BEFORE, then I will start on New Years day!!!
Take care everyone... hope you all are doing GREAT!!

Topic: Whew! I'm finally BACK!!!
Can't say that I have donew great on the WL end of my life but I DID *FINALLY* get that baby dgd!!! She was born this last Friday at 8:11 a.m. and weighed 7 lbs 5 ozs. and is 19" long! They finally induced my dd and then she came so fast there wasn't even time for an epidural!
I am SO GLAD I was THERE! I learned a LOT about dd's BF that made me realize... she will need all the support she can get from US now! I was SHOCKED as I lerarned more and more about his personality :( Like... he laid on a little pull out chair for all but the last 2 hours of her labor :( He just pretended to be sleeping! We ALL knew he wasn't, but he would NOT budge! I saw him look up a few times and then he'd curl up in the blanket like a cacoon and stay that way!
Anyhow, that was a HUGE frustration for ME... and hurt for my dd :( But the baby is beautiful and my dd is doing GREAT!
I got home (after thinking I'd be there only a few days!) and realized... my house payment is not made... my CC bills are not paid... car payment etc. AND... I've NOT WORKED ONE DAY in Dec!!! Today is my first day back at work and that is with one less kiddo than normal as one mom got POed at me and pulled her kid! (guess I am suppose to be there more for HER child than I am for my own... WRONG!)
Hoping to get my butt back in the saddle FAST!

I can ONLY stay here till next weekend- after that- I am screwed if that babe is not here yet... I will HAVE to go home :( I have to work and by then, I'm sure the parents of my daycare kiddo's will be getting a bit upset :(
Anyhow, I best get going but thought I'd pop in and update you all. No baby on the ferry anyway :) :)

Topic: Going with dd to have her baby....
I thought I'd head to Juneau next week to be with my dd as she has her first baby, but looks as though I'm leaving in a few hours. NOT wanting to do this but she has a lot of swelling going on and I don;t want her alone there. Unless something happens sooner- her apt. is on Monday... due date is in 9 days. She doesn't look good. She is very pale and swollen. Her eyes are little "squinty" eyes and she sais she can SEE here lips as she speaks... meaning- they are swollen OUT quite a ways!
Wish us luck! Baby Brylea Nicole should be here SOON and I am so anxious! I want her here and HEALTHY!!!
Happy late Turkey day to you all. I hope to eat mostly at Subway if we eat "out". McDonalds is a NO NO!!!

Topic: RE: I can't get in here to post :(
Thanks.... I know it's very strange! I can't figure this out! Everything was just FINE- until yesterday when I tried coming in here :(
I will click on the forum and can read all I want... but when I click on "reply" it tries and tries to load it but never does! You can see the green bar (at bottom) where it'll get ALMOST to the very end but it just stays there frozen. The little circle thingy just spins and it freezes :( I then have to shut firefox down all the way... it's the only site I have found that this happens with?
I checked my filters to be sure something didn't get set different etc., and even went on there and added ths site thinking if it was a glitch- it would then accept the site. So it isn't that... and, I CAN get on AND post under IE.
I even lowered my protection on my web sheild... still the same. I don't get it!
It's frustrating the crap outa me tho!!
