great job on the weight loss both of you! I am off to my meeting tonight and will post either way.......:)
I forgot to post my results, loss of .2. I know the potato chips did me in this week. I don't even love potato chips, it was just....there. Enough of that!
Just got home and super excited to say I am down 3lbs, for a total of 13.2!
What makes me even happier is that I broke into the next weight bracket, and am in the 160's! I am now only a few lbs away from 10%, and my first MAJOR goal of the 150's :)
That is absolutely awesome!! Motivation!!!:cheesygrin::cheesygrin:Quote:

In other news, I think I'm fairly close to giving up on WW. Yes I know, I can do it. But I don't have the willpower for it these days. I'm trying to be good, but not tracking at all and it shows. Since starting in September I've gone up and down, down a total of under five pounds. I know I could do better, but I just don't have it in me right now. It's sure not worth the money to me now to see how little I've lost.
Hey Zonny! I hear ya on the motivation. Why dont you just try one more week and track everything. Treat WW like you would treat a wicked coupon that would give you the best deal! See if that helps you. If that doesnt work then I would agree to start fresh when your mind is in it 100%. I never ever had good concentration so I wasnt able to finish anything. Now I have perfect concentration for me, so thats how I am doing it. I also did a pre diet and started with small steps to prepare mmyself for my new lifestyle. Even if you dont pay them for the accountability try a few small things on your own. Good luck!
Well, I just had my weigh-in. Down 3.2! Thanks for the encouragement Kellyschool, I'll try to climb back on.
I'm up this past week, 3 lbs!! I know I slacked off due to my weight loss so far and thought 'oh I can treat myself to that' and I went to a wedding and pigged out!! I'm back on track and hoping for another loss at my next weigh in.
YAY Zonny!!!! 3.2 is AMAZING!!!! Working out really makes a difference. I appreciate AmberLab making this thread. It is really encouraging. :-). You can just call me Kelly ;)Quote:

Tania, I had a bad week when eating at events too, but sometimes I think the gain shocks the system so you can have a good week the next week if you track well.
Poutze, congrats on the next weight bracket!
