I have been on WW for 2 months and i have only lost 3 lbs....which i feel as if i have gained back in the past week. I have done WW before and lost 20lbs...this was before DH and it was during the summer, so I basically focused hard core on that. I walked 2 miles a day every day and loved it. Now, I kinda feel like I have so much going on that it is hard to get into the swing of it...help!!! I need to lose at least 20lbs.

i am the same way, but i've been going to the gym at least 3 times per week, and i make sure i write it on the calender when i go..that kinda keeps me motivated...Plus the thought of looking good in my wedding dress and hopefully a bikini on the honeymoon!

Re: Please help - how can I get motivated?
I am the same way. Sometimes I get motivated and other times I'm like 'uggg i'm tired'. But this I have been more motivated than usual. I keep telling myself that I want to fit into that bikini for my cruise in July. So that motivates me more....LOL I am on WW and have lost 5lbs in 2 weeks which is no big deal but it's something and i'll take it. I have to exercise more. That is my problem. I have a park near where I live. So I am waiting for the weather to get better so I can go to the track. I love walking.

Re: Please help - how can I get motivated?
Don't get discouraged. We can be each other's motivators and share what works for us, so we can all learn new things. If one of us has a bad week, we know we have support to help us get back on the wagon.
I'll start, I started back on WW last week and had a great week 1 weight in. I lost 6lbs!
Here's some of the things I did: * Worked out to Denise Austin's 30min show on Lifetime 3 mornings * Taebo basic workout one evening * Walking during lunch, durig first half hour I take a walk then eat my lunch during the 2nd half hour * Lots, lots, lots of water. Everywhere I go I have a 24oz bottle of water. At my desk I have a 1 liter bottle and fill it up twice during the day. That way I know I got my 8 glasses in. * Started to eat more veggies, like a salad with my sandwich. Or chicken stuffed with sauteed spinach. I don't like 'em but I try to fit it in small doses * 2-3 servings of dairy. I read that dairy helps with weigt lose. So I drink a cup of skim milk daily and eat another dairy during the day
I'd like to hear what other people do...Let's share!

Re: Please help - how can I get motivated?
I started WW about 3 weeks ago and have also been going to the gym at least 3 days a week..there are days when i do really bad with my food intake, but i count for all of that with my daily points and my flex points...and if i dont go to the gym one or two nites, i'll make sure i dont skip a 3rd and i'll write it on the calender. It definitely helps if you have someone to talk to or work out with. Lots of water!!! And veggies!!! and...dont deprive yourself because i know in my case if i feel like i 'cant' have something, i'll eat a whole bag of the bad somethings!!
another thing i was going to do was treat myself to something..like if i get weighed in saturday and lost any weight, even if its just an ounce, i'll treat myself to a pedicure!

I too am on WW and although I follow the point system I also do 50 situps a night and as soon as this Freakin weather gets better I will go as much as I can to the park and work out at the track. I also want to join a gym but I don't have time this week. I'll have to check it out next week.

Re: Please help - how can I get motivated?
oh- another thing i do is every nite i prepare foods for the next day. i bring a baggie full of cut up veggies and then i bring the little glad ware things filled with separate portions of fruits, sometimes applesauce, or just other things that i can snack on. And i always bring my own lunch because if i dont, then i know i'll end up at a drive thru somewhere and then get something really unhealthy. A big problem at my office though is that we always have one of those big tubs of pretzels in the back and i eat them all the time..several times a day...That i have to stop.
