Well Molly, sometimes you just have to give in a little in order to not give in A LOT!

Nice losses guys! Every loss is a good one!

Hi guys!! I hope you don't mind if I "crash" your thread! I just joined WW online, and today was my first day. I already know my biggest challenge is going to be PEPSI...so any support with this issue would be so appreciated!!

My short-term goal is to lose 30 pounds by November....I'm having my left knee replaced in November, and really need to be able to take some of the pressure of the extra weight off before my surgery! I'll be getting my right knee replaced in Feb.

Today for breakfast I had a Jimmy Dean (turkey sausage) Delight breakfast muffin...the commissary didn't have any of the WW breakfast sandwiches, so I used the WW point calculator (I love that thing!) on my iPhone and it is the same # of points as the WW breakfast sandwich....and for lunch I had a sandwich made of the Sara Lee thin buns, LOTS of lettuce, Best Foods light mayo, and shaved turkey. I was a little wary of the taste of the light mayo, but the sandwich was really yummy. I think I'm having a WW TV dinner for dinner, the guys are having left over's from last night's dinner. Anyway, first day almost down....only a ka-zillion more to go!! I need to lose 71 pounds.

Thanks for listening! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!

I'm super nervous about my weigh in tomorrow. I've been away since last weigh in and although I've followed my points I'm still nervous!

Does anyone have a Disney trip planned? I'm eager to hear how someone does with their WIs pre- and post- trip.

I'll be there in 54 days but I don't believe in dieting on vacation.

I'll be there in 7 months to run a 5K, oh, and a marathon. Hopefully I'll be at my goal weight by then. I'm curious to see how I do while at Disney too. The fact that I'll be there 3 days before the marathon will probably help. No way can I gorge myself on whatever I want for those 3 days. However, after the marathon and the next day I'm sure I will probably pig out.

At your meetings this week, were you asked to set an end-of-summer goal? I picked a weight that I thought was reasonable to reach. Without realizing it, I had chosen what works out to a pound a week, very doable in my opinion. For those of you who set goals, what did you pick?

I've been struggling lately with things so I picked a small goal -- 0.4lbs per week. Hopefully, that will be do-able. I weighed in today (1 day early) and was down 2.5, however it seems that I cant behave myself for very long periods of time so I dont expect to see anything like that anytime soon again. I really, REALLY want to be eating maintenance points by the end of the summer. I had actually hoped to be eating them by the Easter weekend but that didn't happen.

I'll be there in 54 days but I don't believe in dieting on vacation.

One of my struggles in following any weight loss programs is being totally exhausted after working all day, and trying to figure out something easy for dinner. This weekend, my DH made the beef and cheese casserole from the recipe on WW online and stuck it in the fridge with cooking instructions on it. It was wonderful just taking it from the fridge and popping it in the oven...even better....it was delicious!!! I highly recommend this recipe....whenever we try something new, we will ask the family "is this a do-over? Didn't even ask tonight, before my 18yo stated"this is definitely a do-over!!

Only 5 points per serving

I think we will start making more meals on weekends and freezing them, I think it will help me keep on track.

Cooking ahead is something that worked for me when the kids were home. Now that it is just dh and I, not so much. Most recipes don't work for us as dh likes his food uncombined and I prefer to skip sauces and gravies and such. I cook the old fashioned way -- a meat/poulty/seafood item, a starch, and a veggie. I'm starting to major more now on the veggies and less on the starch. But maybe I should be adventurous and check out some of the WW recipes to add a little variety to our meals.

Down 3.4 last night! Total loss now is 32.8. I have less than 90 lbs to go to reach the WW upper limit target for my age and height so I am one fourth of the way there! Sadly, my DPs have gone down again. Now I am at 28. I haven't been eating the APs but I think that I am going to have to start to eat them if I don't want to feel edgy.

Hey WW friends. I've been on vacation and still am. We are at the beach and I am enjoying relaxing .

I've read through all the post and you guys are stinking rock stars! Wow, so proud and inspired by everyone's awesome weight loss. Keep up the good work!

Also, WELCOME to our new members!

A few of us have been on several Disney trips while doing WW. For me I used my trip as motivation before hand. Really staying focused to lose as much as I can before my trip. Now most times I have gone it has been for at least 10 days and on the dining pan. I would be good for breakfast, try to get saad for lunch and enjoy my dinners. I usually walked away gaining 3-5 over those trips even with all the walking. For me the most important thing wasn't being stressed about the gain but I learned, finally, that I could go on vacation, enjoy myself and as soon as it was over instead of being all depressed and down about the gain and giving up, I jumped right back on the program.

Jessie, I'm right there with you on the struggling thing. Your 0.4 weekly seems really reasonable. If I did that, I'd be where I want to be by the end of summer.

I went back and looked at my tracking history and, lo and behold, the weeks I track all 7 days, I lose weight, when I track 3 or 4 days, it's a little gain. I know I'm going to gain at my WI today, but I want to go to my meeting. DH and I were talking last night about needing some "reason" to stay on the weight loss bus -- a wedding, or reunion or something. But then we realized we really don't care what others think of how we look, so we need to have a different motivational goal.

I didn't lose but I gained .4 lbs this week. I didn't eat my weekly pts, I have like 29 left so it proves that you got to eat to lose weight.

I did walk/run for one hour for four days. I didn't walk any on my lunch this week. I hope my "Walk away the Pounds" makes it's way back to me so I can walk at lunch. It's funny that I didn't eat out or eat all my pts for the week and I gained. The two weeks before I ate out about 3-5 times plus ate all my pts and I lost a pound per week.

Keep the positive thoughts and keep active...it will make you feel so much better!

That's great, congrats on the loss!! What are DPs and APs? I can't wait to do my first weigh-in on Monday!

I think woman's weight is just weird...men just don't have the fluxuations we have to deal with. Hang in there, I'm sure next week will be better!!
