I lost 3.4 pound this week! . I got a BRAVO star! email this discussion to a friend?

I had hoped for at least 5 pounds (so I could get my 5 star!), but I did get a BRAVO star for losing 3.4 pounds. I wasn't disappointed at all. The plan is designed for us to lose $3 a week.. so really I am on the mark. My points went down from 35 to 34 now... and as I lose my points will keep going down.. which means less calories my body needs.

We saw how important it is to track our food intake. There were a couple people that didn't track and they gained. This one lady had been losing steadily for 20 weeks and this last week she got complacent and didn't track. She just ate what she wanted without writing it down.... she gained 0.2 this week. She felt like crying, but chocked it up to not tracking and told us all to make sure to always track.

Do you track your food intake? It really makes a difference. It is so much fun to go to those meetings. We get support and guidance. We learn from each other also. The counselor had me talk a bit about my week, since this was my first week. I told how I saved $40 on groceries, how I made 5 meals our of 4 pounds of ground turkey, and about how I increased my walking speed. She had other people talk about their week.. it was really nice, and everyone supports everyone else there.

Well, that's my first full week.

I have never been very persistent on staying on the " weight check " stuff, but it is nice to know that there are people out there who cares enough about their bodies to watch their weight and go that extra mile to lose weight. Therefore, congratulations.

Thanks Luvandpower... I finally found the support that I needed.

Good for you! Both my sisters were on weight watchers....my older sister doesn't go to the meetings but follows the diet plan and counting points....but I am so happy you made progress!


myLot reputation of 94/100. OreoCookie3 (18921)   ranked 1 out of 97 in get healthy  8 months ago

Thanks Jill... this Momentum plan really does work well. Kudos to your sisters for going. I count this as an investment into myself.

Good for you!!!!

I just try not to snack too much during the day.

We bought a treadmill two weeks ago! Last week I walked three miles, this week I have slacked off and I hate myself. Once school is out next week, I hope I can get on a better schedule.


myLot reputation of 94/100. OreoCookie3 (18921)   ranked 1 out of 97 in get healthy  8 months ago

Yeah, it's hard to fit exercise in sometimes. We have to make time. I get really bored with a treadmill. My former roommate used to have one and I used it some, but I just got so dang bored with it. It seemed to take forever to get to 1 mile. I like walking the track though... Hope you get to stay consistent.. that is what it will take for me .. consistency.

that is great, I only lost 2.4 my first week...way to go.

Absolutely, you must write - if you bite it, you must write it.

Do you use etools? It is great...you are graph your weight loss and it looks really cool to see that downward slope and there are all kinds of recipes and tools on there. Plus it is cheaper. It is less then $40 for 4 weeks.

I am down to 25 points this week, I don't mind the decrease..I see it as progress and a challenge. The challenge is finding ways to stay full on less points.

The 1 point bars are great...as is the light string cheese. I have one of those between every meal..it keeps the hungries at bay.

I try to save 3 points at night for a dessert. I have only gone into the 35 points twice. Once I blew it all in one day at a wedding, that week I gained...but I also had a birthday, a rehearsal dinner, and a family breakfast at a diner all in 4 days. The gain was only .4 and I lost 2.4 the next week.

The new program is great.

Once again...BRAVO!


myLot reputation of 94/100. OreoCookie3 (18921)   ranked 1 out of 97 in get healthy  8 months ago

Bravo for you too! I have a birthday coming up, but I told my family I wanted to eat at home, and I would rather have a WW dessert than to have a birthday cake. My family wanted to get me this charger thing for my cell phone and bluetooth.. but I said I would rather have a food processor. I'd rather shred my own cheese from now on.. and to chop or shred veggies in.

Thanks Deb for the Bravo.. and you also keep up the good work.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6759)   ranked 59 out of 97 in get healthy  8 months ago

That is a great idea...we are eating at home a lot more and if you are going to prepare your own food, might as well have fun doing it.

The WW eggplant parm recipe is really good. It was the first time I made egplant parm and my hubby loved it.

First fo all congrats on the weight loss!thumbup That is sure encouragement to keep on going. I have heard it does pay to track everything, mainly because it keeps you aware of what you are actually eating. I have never had the discipline to do that. It might help to be part of a support group. The group helps to keep you accountable for your actions. I may just have to join after all!

It really is wonderful to be there with all those lovely people. We all learn from each other.

I think that is wonderful. I've read surveys (because I myself wanted to know) that Weight Watchers has proven to be the most effective weight loss plan for people losing weight AND keeping it off. I'd like to go to the meetings, but can't afford it. However my mom used to go, and I can follow the plan quite well. I'm struggling with my walking. It is getting to where it is difficult for me to climb the stairs to my apartment. I see my surgeon again in a month. I'm hoping he can give me an idea on how to exercise with the minimum amount of pain. I actually miss walking a lot! I was doing five miles a week a couple of months ago. Well, several months ago. When it was cooler. lol
