Hello all!

I'm new here and have just started a new WW diet. I've done WW a couple times before a few years ago and have usually lost 15-20 pounds on it. This time, however, I've got a lot more to lose. I've just finished my first year at college and have totally ballooned. I've lost around 5 pounds already, but it's only the second week and I'm already starting to plateau. Even when I step up the exercising. So, I was wondering, does any body know any ways I could get the weight off a little faster? I'm also going to Hawaii in a month and wanted to loose at least 10-15 by then...do you think that's possible??

Thanks!

Food Question

2007-06-12T10:32:11Z

Hey guys.

Just curious. What are your views on honey?
Personally I thought I would never like it (no idea why) but had a snidge this morning drizzled on weetabix as we are out of sweetner at home!!

It was nice.. sweet... but I only had a little.
So.

Some questions:

Does anyone know average calories of honey. It doesn't say on the jar... and then when we went out shopping and I bought some more (squeezy and smooth!) It didn't say it on that either. I cannot find honey with nutrional info on!!

Also. Is it okay to include in your diet? Obviously not by the jar.. but I mean with porridge or what not.

Also!! If yes.. what else can you have it with :D

Muchos loveo x

100 Days...

2007-02-26T09:27:57Z

I have 100 days until I go to Italy. I HAVE to lose weight, because at this point being 290 isn't going to work travelling. I figure if I stick to a protein-vegetable diet with an hour of excersize a day I can lose about 40lbs in 100days. Maybe thats an awfully lofty goal, but at least its a goal, right?
So, welcome me back to the community.

Back in the Saddle

2007-01-17T12:33:31Z

I was a little worried to post this - I wasn't sure I could get back onto the diet. But it's been two weeks, and I've lost 6lbs (5 were in the first week) on WW. I'm going to do this :) I don't know if anyone reads this forum anymore, but I think everyone should update with how they're doing. *hugs*

New to this

2006-12-18T09:15:03Z

Hi everyone! I'm new to this, so I guess I will tell you about myself. Right now I weigh 198 and I want to be at 140. I started LA Weight Loss about 5 weeks ago. I did really well for the first 3 weeks (I lost 11 lbs), but for the last 2-3 weeks I just stopped dieting. I don't really know why. I've gained back all the weight and now I am embarrassed to go back to the LAWL center to get weighed in. I need to go though because I can't motivate myself to get back on the diet. Argh! I am so frustrated with myself!

ok gonna try this again

2006-08-24T14:25:06Z

Since noone wrote last time i thought i would try again...I would like to know since you have been watching your weight and stuff, how long have you been doing it and how much you have lost and how you are losing it?

I'll go first, I started weight watchers in April 2003 I got married and i kinda forgot about losing weight and stuff LOL, tho i lose 36 lbs then and then i restarted in September of 2005 and gained ALMOST everything back. I fractured my ankle in November 2005 and I quit weight watchers but I had lost a bit of weight, I went threw christmas and new years and now I have lost in total 24 lbs, and i'm inbetween sizes... and i hate being inbetween sizes LOL

ok everyone

Revolation, or something.

2006-06-16T01:12:16Z

I just graduated from highschool on June 8th, ever since then I've been starting to get a new outlook on like, not completely but different. I'm starting to see myself as attractive, dispite the fact that I'm over weight. I'm finding clothes that fit me, and flatter my body type for once.

I am single. My boyfriend and I of 15 months went on a break back in March, but it doesn't look like we're getting back together anytime soon, I am okay with that for once in a long time, but it's hard for me to let go. I'm kind of seeing another guy, he's awesome.

Hmmm.

I'm back to 178, I'm still trying to get down to 140lb, but I'm giving myself sometime.

First 10% Goal

2006-06-12T15:30:00Z

I have finally done it, I bashed my way through that nasty first 10% goal that has been standing in my way. That stupid number of 235 has been haunting me for over a month now and I was never able to reach success. This is such a huge thing for me. My next 10% goal is to reach 211 and I know I can do it. Soon I will be under 200 which I have been since high school and beginning of college really. I also have to say I did this all while being on vacation for a week and getting that time of the month. My husband is so proud of me. Yays! This week I need to get back to the business of excerise though, it was really helping me to get those inches down and into smaller sizes as well.

Losing weight

2006-05-30T21:14:46Z

I have been doing fairly well at losing weight lately. I guess stress and depression are good for some things. I haven't really been eatting, just doing a slimdown (LA Weightloss) shake for breakfast, then lunch and then only eatting a small dinner. I haven't craved anything and I don't really care to eat dinner, but I know i need too. I still have myself on hold at LAWL, but I plan to go back this week.

oh got an exersize bike over the weekend, been riding it since we got it:) and today my husband is gonna get me an exersize ball from his physio and then i'm set for awhile, cuz my inlaws have a tredmill and i can go over there anytime and we are also gonna get a gym/pool pass so i can go there as well and just work off this fat! lol lately i have been feeling fat again lately tho my size 18 is big on me but i still feel fattish:) so yeah dave also said we are both gonna rejoin weight watchers:) and then everything will be great for the both of us, cuz dave has to lose as well to keep his knee better since he hurt his knee badly. Soon the both of us wont look the same:D

So I haven't been on the La Weight Loss plan for about 2 months now. I had to go back to my parents for about a month because of surgery so that's why I stopped going. I've been able to go back for a few weeks now but I don't want to. I've been doing better since I stopped going lol. I'm down 17lbs now.

I feel bad because it was so much money! We paid for a bunch of bars that we haven't got yet, so I think I'm going to get a refund on those and put it towards our debt from there! I don't know if I can get any money back from the program though.

My goal now is to lose 10lbs in about a month. I think I can do it. I've been going for long walks everyday. I still can't eat anything really healthy though. I had surgery on my jaw, and I'm still not aloud chewing ANYTHING for another 2 weeks! I think I can AT LEAST get down 5lbs.

On the LA weight loss program, I should have been at my goal weight about a week ago lol. I have no will power! It's so hard to measure what you're eating all the time, and only have a certain sized portion. I like to eat what I want lol. The good news is that I haven't put any back on. I was soo bad like 2 weeks ago. I had McDonalds like 3 times in one week & taco bell! I had to cut everything up into tiny pieces though lol. I didn't gain anything from eating all that, so I was happy about that! At least I know the 17lbs will stay off.

Anyways, I hope you're all staying on track!!

MY WHINING SOLVES NOTHING...

Knowing, this, I am going to whine.

I have been on WW for 1 1/2 years. I have lost 30 pounds. 30. Just 30. I know it is my fault, but when I was on WW before I got pregnant in 2003, I lost 52 in less time.

Someone here please give me the kick/shove I need to get back on track!

Saturday Weigh In

2006-04-08T14:39:25Z

I thought this week was really going to hurt big time. I didn't keep track of any of my food or points and I didn't work out once this past week at all. I have gone into sloth mode it seems but despite that I still managed to loose 1.2 pounds. I'm that much closer to my first 10% goal now as I am just 1 pound away and I know I can do that this week!

Weekly Weigh In

2006-04-01T15:55:04Z

This week has been rough on me and to be honest I haven't been keep tracking of what I have been eating each day and we have gone out to eat a lot. I also never got up the motivation or energy to work out but somehow I manged to loose 2.6 pounds despite everything. I'm so very close to my first 10% goal, I only have 2 more pounds to go and than I'm there. I'm so hoping I will be able to keep on track this week and loose those 2 pounds.

Saturday Weigh In

2006-03-25T18:35:53Z

I made my little mini-goal for this week to beat the 20 pound mark now I'm only about 5 pounds away from making my first 10% weight loss goal. I hope to next week finally leave the 240's behind for good! I'm so jazzed that I'm right on target for loosing a total of at least 40 pounds before we go on vacation to Florida in June. So now this week I just need to buckle down and really dig into working out like I should.

So i had a HORRIBLE dream last night...I dreamt that I went to LA Weight Loss to get weighed...and I stepped on the scale and it said I weighed 240 pounds! I was freaking out, That is 13 pounds less then what I originally started at when I first joined lawl! I weight just over 200 right now. I think i prolly dreamt that because I went into lawl last night to put my program on hold until after the wedding since ive already had my dress fitting, and i dont want to lose more weight and have to pay to have it altered again. But this dream was so horrible, the first thing I did this morning was get up and get on the scale. It makes me realize that I DO NOT EVER want to be as heavy as I was before. So today I have been really good...Eating healthy, and staying on track. Im happy with the weight I am at now, but I still want to lose that last 30 pounds after the wedding :)

Weigh In

2006-03-18T14:38:12Z

So today I had my weigh in and I was a little bit worried as I hadn't really stayed on track like I should had but I did get rid of that awful water weight from last week, so the 1.6 gained is my 1.6 loss this week. I was retaining without realizing it due to that time of month and now I look forward to showing the real loss next week. My goal is to up my work outs and stay right on track for my points for each day.
