I truly feel your pain! I just started counting POINTS!!! AAHHHHH!!! I'm doing weight watchers and I walk home from the train station instead of taking a bus (I work in the city)... so that's a 2.5 mile walk every day! Now... you are probably reading this thinking... oh wow thats AWESOME!!! ONLY it's been since MONDAY and I feel like it's been at least 2 months... and I just think to myself... how can I keep this up? BUT I AM DETERMINED to not cheat or take that bus home and lose out on some calorie burning. I have an eliptical... but I just can't get motivated enough to get on that thing! Ahh II have SOOOOOO much weight I want to lose.. not just for the wedding but the honeymoon... and bakini's...OMG!!!! I'm freaking out!!!!!! Not to mention... I just went dress shopping!!!! Some of those sample sizes are quite small!!!! I was so devistated when I couldn't close some of them! but I guess it just motived me more to lose weight!

I've been going back and forth w/ WW for a while and if you stick to it, it really works. FM me if you have any questions! I know you can do it; just start out small with a 2lb at-a-time goal!

Re: why? WHY?????
I go to Weight Watchers. I've lost 18 lbs in 8 weeks.
As for the temptations at the office- they talk about this @ WW all the time. How everyone brings food to the office and there always tempting leftovers. Basically, you need to realize that there will always bee sticky buns, cookies, and cake... This isn't going to be the last time you will ever get the chance to have one.
And - there is no reason you have to have the whole thing. I know we were taught as kids not to throw food away, but one the best things you can do is take a bite, walk to your desk, take a bite when you sit, then throw it in the trash.
But I feel your pain. There was a giant caesar salad left over today (smeared in dressing, cheese, and croutons). It took all my willpower to avoid, but I just went back to my desk and had a granola bar.

Congrats on the 18 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm happy for you. Weigh is a touchy subject for me... and I'm always happy for people when they do good things for themselves in regards to weight and health. :) And how good do you feel inside after you resisted!!!!! Then think about how bad you feel if you ever give in. That's how I think about it anyway. So far I have not cheated at all. I am having a bit of a hard time finished all my points though.. I feel like it's a lot of points. I've done WW before a few times.. they always revamp their program. I've done just about every single diet out there! WW is the best as far as not really restricting yourself.. bc you can just calculate it all in! I'm just sooo used to not eating that much when I am dieting and with WW it's not the case. I just take it day by day and each day I feel slightly more motivated. I try to think about the end result. I'm just soo far in the beginning of it all... and I want the end to be here already!!!!!! Ha ha ha.. don't we all though?!?!?!?! I'm just about to do that walk soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really feel your pain, every day I try to watch and every day a wonderful patient or rep at our office brings us candy or baskets with wine or cookies or this or that, I've been good, trying to eat nuts and clementines, and I've lost one inch on my hips, which in the grand scheme of things is like throwing a deck chair off the queen mary....but it's a start, you'll get back on it, don't worry, it's the holidays and this stuff is bound to happen.
