Weight Watchers

There are about 6 of us in the office counting points with Weight Watchers. When they see me drinking a pop they will say, "Shouldn't you be drinking water instead?" I bought a new 32-ounce plastic cup from the dollar store to keep at work. That way, one cup before lunch and one after.

How are the PT Weight Watchers doing? Hubby and I are still working at it - he has lost about 15 pounds now and his clothes are all falling off. He seems to lose so quickly and easily!! I am still losing gradually.

Yesterday we bought me a bike!! I took about a 15 minute ride and am so sore today! That bike seat feels like a brick

I used to be a hiker and in very good shape but the last years I have gone to ZERO exercise. Hopefully I can build back up. I go back to my Nephrology appointment in two weeks and am hoping my medications can soon be adjusted down

Any interesting supper/dinner ideas for summer? We have grilled out a few times and I love how squash tastes off the grill. The nice selection of fruits is wonderful, too

Congrats!

I have been having a hard time. I've lost 40. But I end up loosing a little and gaining a lot. So I need to re-adjust my food and excersize.

flatcoatlover - I know that feeling of losing really well and then being tempted to slack off. I am bad about actually writing down and counting points because I have done WW so long that it seems unnecessary - but it really does help me. So, this week so far I have written down every single thing. Are you able to make meetings in between showing the doggies? 40 pounds is amazing!! - bet you can see lots of difference? I picked up a code for a free trial at the WW Online and plan to check it out and see if it is something I would use - supposed to be software to keep track of points....Keep trying, OK?

Oh yes and I bookmarked and use a couple sites that are unofficial weightwatcher recipes and ideas. Hungry Girl is a nice site. I am trying to find a great site I used to have that listed restaurant and fastfood meals and points - anyone have something like this??

edit: Found what I was looking for!! Dotti's Weight Loss Zone Lots of restaurant foods already calculated

I used to be able to attend every meeting, but now I have to work Saterday mournings so I can only go to 2 meetings every month. I can't see the difference in my body, but my family said they can. I finally went down two pant sizes, so I can finally wear pants I wore three years ago. I don't really write my points, down.

Kind of keep it in my head, I know it's so bad. But my hardest part is trying to drink all of the water.

oh YES I have trouble with the water too. I did find a drink I like and it is bottles of green tea - Lipton's Diet Green Tea in citrus flavor and I love that one. The white tea with raspberry is also good to me - so I keep these in the fridge and have a couple each day so that gets me 36 ounces - seldom drink plain water and I know I should

I tend to drink bottled water from the fridge pretty well. I have thought of getting one of those quart pitchers with a straw and keeping ice water in there and maybe I would drink more, then. My daughter Missy brought one home from the hospital and something like that would be good to keep around.

I started Weight Watchers not too long ago. I just started my 2nd week on Wednesday and I lost 4.8 lbs on my first week! I'm doing pretty good!

And since my last weigh in i've lost a couple more pounds. I'm on the flex plan and i really like it. It's really helping me eat a lot more fruits and vegetables than what i was before.
Congrats to everyone who has lost!

Congrats Sam! The first couple weeks were the hardest for me. The flex plan is my favorite. Haven't tried core, but it confuses me.
