Weight Watchers - March 1st

RedSox33RN · Apr 1, 2004

I weighed in on monday and i lost 1.8 lbs for my first week since coming back. I sure hope i keep seeing progress. 150/148/125.
Welcome wannabeanRN. I'm also doing WW online too. Just don't have time for meetings either. Don't forget to keep us posted on your progress. Also are you using WW message boards for support too? I've visited their message boards and it seems there is good people there to provide support too. They could possibly help in any questions about doing this online. Because this is my second week doing WW online I sure don't have much advise on how to get the most of the online version. I'm still learning too.
Everyone have a healthy week. :)

Thanks smiley. I just signed up today, and am still making my way around the site.

I couldn't find this anywhere, but with the online version, do you get a points packet or anything in the mail? I can see it's going to be a pain in the rear to run to the computer and find out what each food item is worth for myself and my daughter (though maybe that will count as exercise, as the 'puter is upstairs! LOL) I printed out some stuff and will keep a folder in the kitchen, but just wasn't sure what I'd get in the mail, if anything.

Also, what are the 3 numbers? Start weight/current/goal? Maybe? I went to the low end of what my range is, but I think that may be too much for me. A few years ago I was a size 6 at 135, but it said my low-end goal weight was 126.9. I think that I may look emaciated. Anyway, my current numbers are 165/165/135 (not 126, as they say. I'm going to change that!).

Also, I signed up with my "good" email addy, not a junky one. I'm not going to get spammed or anything from them, will I? I detest signing up and paying good money, only to have my email sold and then on everyone's list. I just got DSL, so it's a new one I'm trying hard to "protect" if YKWIM!! :chuckle I did opt out of receiving the email letter. I figure it's probably all posted on the site anyway, and the less I receive email-wise, the better.

I haven't recieved any packet from WW about the points in the mail. I not sure if i will. However when I was with WW last year I had bought their welcome package at one of their meetings. it included a book with points foods we usually eat like how many pts ground beef would be. and it also had a book w/ resturants and pts for their products. It cost around $20. this is so helpful to me. also when i went to the meeting i got a thing for free that calculates points so i dont have to run to the puter to figure pt values. I have seen these things for sale on ebay. mind you you may pay a higher price on ebay than just purchasing it from a WW meetings.

I hope this helps you. I would highly recommend getting those books and a pt calculator. I would be lost with out them. I saw on WW website though they sold this stuff in a big welcome package but it was around $100. it had alot of stuff in the package though. however it was a little pricey.

yes the three numbers are start weight/current/goal.

I haven't been spamed because of them. I also opted out for email newsletter however i still recieve things from them in my email. I also made sure in my profile that my email address wasn't available too. So far so good on that. :)

Thank you! Great information - I'll go look at the points kit now. My daughter and I spent about an hour looking up points for our favorite foods and printing them, along with a weeks worth of sample menus. Being a teenager, she hates everything, but was pleased when she saw she could have a small chocolate bar or something and count that. She thought it was going to be a no/carbs or sweets kind of thing. I think this may be one she sticks to and doesn't cheat on. :)

Well I went to my meeting on Tues. and I had gained 1lb. while in Calif. with my parents. This was my first gain since starting the program(Jan). I wasn't too upset tho it could've been much worse. So I'm back in the saddle again and hoping to reach my 10% by the end of April.

I did my weigh-in today, and am up 1/2 a pound, but I'm not worried, since I haven't been exercising because I was dx'd with shingles this week. Hopefully this week will be better!! 165/165.5/135

Well, I weighed in last night and was the same as last week. I guess that is better than having gained, but it is still disappointing considering my mom is here to visit and even went to the meeting with me. Anyways, I also weighed myself yesterday morning and this morning and both showed a drop of 2 pounds so I don't know if maybe it just has to do with being that time of the month. I do know that my scale is the same as the one at the meetings because I have been weighing myself both there and at home each week and they are always the same. Have a good week everyone and to whom it applies, Happy Easter.

I know my menstrual cycle screws up my scale royally! I don't think I even bother anymore until a few days after I've started.

Today was my weigh in day. I did lose - a little 167/166/135. My daughter weighs in today also.
