Hello! I wanted to start up a ongoing support thread for all of us who are actively seeking the extra help from either regular Weight Watchers or most especially Weight Watchers Online.

I do not have the money to fork over for extra fees to attend the WW meetings etc. I also am not sure how many banded folks there are on their message board. I thought this would be a good place to hang out, discuss how well or not well we are staying within our points system, our extra activities and whatnot.

We can share ideas or new recipes, or just anything related to Weight Watchers... and even keep each other accountable.

Help me, I need support!!

Amy,

Every day when I dont do as well asI want I just say to my self "KEEP TRYING" If I just keep trying eventually I will do well. Dont eat your self up. Just focus on doing better tomorrow.

For me it is this time of night (7pm to bed time) where my binge fear sets in. I want to munch till I close my eyes. Tonight I am still under my 31 points so I will hold out for my jell desert at about 8 and QUICKLY brush my teeth!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL OF YOU! I am not going to have any candy today at all nope nope. sure hope the scale moves a little before saturday. i WENT AND DELIVERED THE 48 CUPCAKES I MADE FOR THE TWINS PARTIES AT SCHOOL this moring. dropped off valentines presents at front office of elementary, middle and high school for my kiddos. maybe they will have the candy finished before getting off the bus.LOL! Daddy got the girls roses and a teddy bear.My hubby got me a gift certifacate to get mampered at the nail spa with my best friend. hands, nails, toes, feet here we come. A day of shopping having lunch and spa sounds just what I need after getting this machine off. I was suppost to get it off yesterday but they told me nope. So I go to the dr tuesday and he will probably take it off then I still have to pack the small hole until it closes completly. I asked hubby if he could do it and he said no he will pass out.LOL! So home health will then come out 7 days a week instead of three. So I'm thinking I will go out with my freind that day. I'm still not suppose to go out of the house unless its church or dr appointment. But i don't think one day of shopping will hurt.What you guys think? I been stuck in the house almost 4 months as of two fridays from today. thanks guys for your support.

amyloveslou: keep your head held high you will get it. we all have these kind of days or weeks. Heck sunday i felt like i ate the house down.LOL! It's good u go to the gym it lets off so much stress or it does for me.

Soexcited: i think we all have to splurge from time to time. just gotta jump back in and make up for it. You did good by going to the gym i give u a pat on the back for that. I am counting down weeks till i can work out and go to zumba. Yes i love to eat after 7 so i been having a 2 pack of crunchy oats and honey granola bar for that time i have one then about 8-9 have one. takes care of the sweat and crunchy and is healthy.

short and chunky; never thought about that hmmm hope it does give me a jump star.I WANNA SEE 179 TIRED OF SEEING THE 180SSSS.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ww buddies!

Woo hoo! Way to go, Chica!

Hi all!

Had my 6th weigh in tonight. Down 8.6 lbs total! So pleased to see the scale moving in the right direction again. Some days I have trouble consuming my total Daily Points Value, and when that happens my weight loss is not as good.

Here's to another good week for us all!

NimbleBean

So nimble, when you dont eat all your points you dont loose as fast? I have heard that a few times now. How many points do you get a day and how many do you eat a day? Way to go on loosing! You are doing great! Also maybe you could share one of your food diary's with us, Id love to see what you are eating!

Well, i decided to go give WW a try. In october I got down to 178 which was only 13 pounds from my goal weight. My band was so tight that I had been throwing up and doing the "Acid Reflux" thing for about 2 months. So, they let a little out of my band in October and ever since i have been out of control. Yesterday morning I moved back to Twoterville and weighed 200.6. So depressing!!! Still better than the 279 when I got banded. Yesterday evening i logged on and signed up! My husband is not to happy about it since i was a self pay and we spent $10,000 just two years ago and now spending money on WW. He loves me and will be OK with it. I go to my meeting tomorow afternoon at 5:30 PM. I am really excited about it....I have done WW before and have lost weight and kept it off. My original start weight was 357 when I started my journey in January of 2000. So i have done WW, slimfast, Nurses First, Atkins....well, you get the picture. It has been a very long journey and WW is how i lost part of that weight. You all keep me posted so you can get my BUTT motivated!!!!

Stagegirl

Hi Stagegirl! I was self pay also! I got to 189 and then kept that weight for over a year (I was banded 2 years and 2 months ago) then I slowly crept up after getting one fill too many. I was too tight so I ate lots of bad for me sliders. I joined ww at 209! Yikes! But I am back down to 195 thank GOD! WW saved my life, I love the accountability of weighing in every week. This time after I get to 189 I am not gonna stop. I actually just wanna be fit and healthy now, it's no longer about a number on a scale .... GOD It only took me 30 years to get to this place in my head. Now I can so an hour spin class or 5 miles plus on my elliptical and sure I sweat but my heart rate is good and I am not panting and out of breath. It's all about heart health for me now.

wow I was away from the site for a while... life was a little much for me...but I am feeling better..... so today I got up and made my protien shake wich is alot of points..have to figure out how to make it diffrent

11 points

then i went to zumba hr class

then I had a cheese stick:

one hard boiled egg: 2 points

for dinner one slice of cheese pizza:

I had 32 oz water sofar and working on another

ok we must be back up here and running... I think us posting our food helps out ALOT !! we give each other tips and good ideas... so dont forget to chk in daily !!!

Amy

ps if you know the points for my items let me know I have to go look them up

Breakfast: Tea & no fat milk then a protein shake

Snack: 3 egg whites

Lunch: Slice of whole wheat toast with tablespoon of peanut butter on it!

Snack: banana

Dinner: Will be a slice of cheese pizza and a salad

Hi ladies. I haven't been posting for a while. My son has had pneumonia but thank God he is better now. I went and had my 5th fill last Thursday. I now have 7.9 in a 10 cc band. I hope I am now in the "green zone". Last month and this month I haven't been able to eat for 3 or 4 days after my fill. I have been doing shakes and mushy foods. Does anyone else go that long without eating solid food?

A different lady gave me the fill this time. She told me I have been eating too many carbs. The lady that usually gives me the fills said Weight Watchers and the band work well together. Now this lady tells me to eat low carb. I need to figure out how to combine the two. Low carb is a lot of meat and I have a hard time eating meat. It just won't go down. If anyone has any ideas please share them.
