Who else is doing WW?

Ive hit my limit. I weighed myself today, got super depressed, and IM GOING BACK ON WW! Starting tomorrow...

I felt so great at the wedding. And now, +10 since the wedding...I feel like i look preggo (no, Im not actually preggo). I have a gut that I cant suck in and clothes that im not fittin in, lol. WW is the only program that has worked for me again and again. Im excited to start feeling healthy again. Just have to kiss all those wonderful holiday treats and my favorite mint choc chip milkshakes bye byes!

Who else is countin points?

Re: Ive hit my limit...its time for WW again!

I'm with you! I put on close to 15 since the wedding and that wasn't even two month ago. I had lost around 45 over the last year on WW and had to buy a whole new wardrobe. Now I can barely fit in those clothes. I had the honeymoon and then the holidays right when we got back so that weight that I had lost on WW started flying back on. I just started back to counting points after the new year. I'm headed back to meetings next week.

Good luck! We can do it!!!

Re: Who else is doing WW?

Ughh. As of a few mins ago (I know its not an optimal time to be weighing myself), its actually +13. Im really pisssed off that I let myself gain that much!!!! ive been feeling bad bc i havent been fitting into things very well but now knowing JUST HOW MUCH ive gained (i was avoiding the scale) is making me feel like...I need to get this weight off NOW!!!!! cant happen quickly enough.

every time DH is trying to give nice touches...im like uggh...dont touch my stomach. i feel gross. lol i know thats pretty sad!

Just rejoined WW online a bit ago...but gosh, was it depressing for it to say +13 since my last weigh in (around my wedding).

I havent been able to wear my fav jeans since maybe Sep/Oct so thats some motivation.

Youre right, we can do it!! You had a ton of determination to lose 45 lbs before!! GL to you and me and all the rest of the NWs on WW!

Re: Who else is doing WW?

I was also shocked to see how much I gained. I keep starring at the scale in disbelief each day. I can't wear most of my pants that I had bought only a few months ago when I reached my lowest weight. I felt embarrassed to go back to WW meetings because I became a lifetime member in September and got an award and got to go for free. My leader has even e-mailed me and sent me a postcard to come back. Now I have to pay each week until I get back down to my goal weight. Embarrassed or not, I don't want the weight to continue to creep up so I'm headed back. I do best with attending meetings. If we got it off the first time, we can get it back off. We just need to be patient and stick with it.

Re: Who else is doing WW?

thats right! i guess we'll just have to put this eagerness into work and make it happen. i think there is going to be a thread each week for us all to check in and report any progress (i forget who said they'd be starting this) so that should help to keep us on track too!

I;m not doing WW but I can be your buddy, Jess!

I went to a nutristionist years ago so I know WHAT to eat..just dont wnat to. never had to diet or exercise before a yar or so ago and having to now HAVE to go or gain weight is atough transition.

I lost like 7 pounds with the dang alien in my tummy, but I'll gain it back if I dont atch what I am eating (and I dont mean as it goes into ym mouth! ) Hvent been able to go to the gym either casue was sick with that sinus infection/bronchial infection for a month, then the tummy flu.

I need motivation and buddies! Without support systems its like HELLO TWinkies!

I am making myself get back on track and I am also starting WW Sunday. I did good last time I lost 30 pounds and was very happy. Let's see if I can do something similiar again.

Re: Who else is doing WW?

I did WW for about six months before the wedding and then went the rest of the way by myself by using what I'd learned to eat right and spending tons of time at the gym. Dropped about 25-30 lbs and have basically stayed there since the wedding. I will admit I was a little bit of a masochist over the holidays and forced myself to run on the treadmill every time I ate a big meal or a lot of dessert

The biggest thing I learned about myself is that if I avoid the scale because I'm afraid of what it will say, the number is bound to be higher. I avoided the scale all through college and when I finally got back on I had gained over 30 lbs. So now I get on at least once a week. Some days I'm happy with what I see, and some days I could be happier, but I know it's easier to lose 5 lbs than 30 so I try not to stress about it.

Some of my favorite WW-related foods:
-egg whites
-laughing cow cheese
-Fiber One granola bars
-Smart Ones frozen meals
-Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches
-Hebrew National 97% FF hot dogs

Re: Who else is doing WW?

I am....I have gained 10 lbs since our wedding! I feel it and I don't like it!

My endo suggested that I lose 50 lbs. before TTC so I am trying really hard to stick to this. We would like to start trying by the end of 08'.

So I'm here with you and I can use all the support I can get!! Its great that we are all doing this together so we can help each other out!!

Re: Who else is doing WW?

I am back on as of today. I lost 31 pounds before the wedding in 6 months. I weighed in this morning and have gained 8 pounds since the wedding. Problem is I lost muscle, and what I've put on is fat, which weighs much less than muscle. So while it may only be 8 pounds ont he scale, it looks like 30 on me. I did it once before, so I can do it again. I need to do it so I can have a baby. That's what is going to push me.

Re: Who else is doing WW?

Count me in! I rejoined WW online the other day. I like the etools and there is something to be said for that online tracking tool and all the recipes.

It really is the only program that works for me when I use the gym as well. Since I quit smoking and turned 30 - I have an awful time losing weight. losing 2 pounds is heaven.

Re: Who else is doing WW?

I have been watching this week but starting tomorrow, I am back on it full force. I am going to write everything down and make time to work out. I have gained about 10-12 pounds since the wedding. Now is the time to get back on and finally get down to my goal

Good Luck Ladies.

I am a BM in March and April, and I got measured in prime wedding form...I'm freaking out that my dresses aren't going to fit, I figure I have to lose at least 10 pounds to fit in my dresses!!!
Someone please inspire me to stick to this diet again!!

You can do it - take it one day at a time, exercise as much as you can, and don't beat yourself up if you eat something 'bad' - that's what flex points are for!

Re: Who else is doing WW?

I went back on WW last week (that is the only program that has ever worked for me too!) I gained 16 pounds since the wedding (only 4 months ago!!) I have NEVER been this heavy!!! I knew things were getting bad when I felt that I was looking preggo and my clothes is not fitting me at all! It's been only one week so far...it hasn't been easy to get back to it but it was definitely time...

Re: Who else is doing WW?

I'm looking at all your wedding dates and realizing that I'm not the only one that put on all this weight in only a few short months -- how the hell did that happen to us so fast?!?!? I never thought I could put on so much weight so quickly

It's amazing how much faster you can gain weight than lose it...
