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!!

Ok, I messed up this week. Everyday, I say I am going to be good today, and somehow I mess it up at the end of the day. Its always at night. I think I am going to actually join, maybe that will help me stay motivated. I love reading these posts, they really make me want to follow this, I love the ww plan. I originally lost 60 following it a few years ago.

hi all sorry it took me so long to post but, my computer is down and i had to use someones else. so i have been doing ok these day. i was so happy to be able to get back on here. i dont know when i can come back and post so everyone keep up the good work.

Checking in for the week. Lost 1.4 lbs this week. A good loss for the week but can't help wishing it was more.

ok all i got my computer back 125. later but, i got it back and its not running like it was but, at least i can get on the net i really missed everyone.

I'm so glad! I was wondering what happened to you! :blushing:

That is smack in the middle of what you should lose. Feel good about that! Never get in the mindset that you aren't measuring up when you are. That leads to failure feelings, and I think we all know where that leads to from there. You are doing awesome!

As for me this week, I didn't gain and I didn't lose. I'm still at 252 but I've lost another 2 inches! It's coming off, just not showing up on the scale yet.

When I'm lying on my back I can actually feel my ribs and my tummy is so flat! Wow, I wish it would stay like that when I'm standing up!! LMAO!

I think I'm going to start posting here again what I'm eating like I used to. It really helps me to stay on track. I'm making it a point to do 24 points per day up through Friday. I'd really like to see a drop on the scale on Saturday!!

How is everyone else???? Where my girls at???? :biggrin:

Just checking in Ms. Diva. Today was my weigh day and I stayed the same. I've lost 4 lbs in 4 weeks. Not great, but I'll take it! I went to an exercise class last Wednesday that almost killed me. I'll go back this week for more punishment! My legs were so sore I could hardly walk.

I ate all my points plus 5 per day in an effort to see if that would make me lose some weight. It didn't, but I still may not be out of the starvation mode yet. I got up this morning thinking I was going to eat less points, but at this point, I'm confused.

Take care and everyone have a good Weight Watchers week!

Hello :biggrin:

I am new to this site and had lapband surgery in NY. I was successful because I am a longtime follower of Weight Watchers.

My blog explains my journey and when I can figure out how to add the ticker at my signature then I will be OK.

I used to belong to the AOL groups for WW also,

I now eat little portions as required by my nutritionist but would love to join this group.

Thanks :blushing:

I just called the WW 800 # and this is what I found

IN NY (my zip)...$39.95/month which would be the second month..your first month would be free...B1g!F

Each area codes have different rules so you have to find it you are in the franchise group (me) or an independent distributor.

Hope this helps everyone

LOL!! My friend had some leftover Birthday cake from her son and she brought me in a tiny piece. Now, I'll probably only eat a bite or two. I always count one bite, one point. Any more than that and I'll look it up, but that's just a rule of mine. The reason is because even if it doesn't come out to one bite, I want that listed on my tracker. I need to make sure, "If you bite it, you write it!"

Nothing at all wrong with a little bit of good stuff from time to time. That is what's so great about WW. You can eat WHATEVER you want. Just not AS MUCH as you want... :wink: Stay within your daily points and it's all gravy! Ohhh Gravy yum! Anyway, a little indulgence is okay.

Hi Scorpio, welcome back~~!! Actually, GOOD JOB on not gaining on vacation! That's hard to do!

Laura:thumbup::thumbup::cool2:

Thanks both Scorpio and jolly for the great information! I just want to chime in, this was truly the best 55 dollars I've spent on myself and my health. The band is the best friend of WW. Especially if you have to live on tiny points per day! :tt1:

I'm having a little bit of trouble these last few days. I've been eating chips!! :eek: I went months without eating them, but since I've found this plan I'm using as an excuse to eat them again. Well, that in itself is not a bad thing. Like I said, a little indulgence, right? Well, NOT 5 FREAKIN PORTIONS WORTH!! Ugh, I'm so glad I"m all out of them, and no more until my next TOM round. Though next time I'll make sure I just buy a packet of the 1 oz servings, and no more than one bag a day. Ok, that's only 3 points. However 5 servings? Yeah, well you get the picture.

I do great during work and eating my salads, etc. But then I get home and eat my healthy dinner and I feel like I get free range to eat as many chips as I want. Gotta stop!!!!!

Ah well. I'm not perfect by a long shot. At least my tracker is telling me to my face I've been acting badly!
