Winning Together -WW and friends of WW 10/28 - 11/3

MrsUSMC - 2007-10-28 11:59 AM I had a wonderful WI this morning. For the first time in about 5 years I'm below 250! I lost 2.2 which puts me at 249.6 There is no meeting next week because of mandatory staff meeting stuff I'm in next month's challenge and I'm really stepping it up for me. Strength training minimum 1x per week Run minimum 3x per week Swim minimum 1x per week Bike minimum 1x per week Lose 4 #s

Terri - that is awesome news!  WTG  - it's so great when you hit those milestones!

I love your goals for the Nov challenge - WTG

I'm also doing the Nov challenge - it should be a fun one - Dee just cracks me up - LOLOL

My goal is to stick to my training plan - which means

S: 22450.00 Yd
B: 0.00 Mi - 8h 
R: 0.00 Mi - 8h

There is no meeting next week because of mandatory staff meeting stuff  

no meeting?  that's a bummer

well, you can always consider us your meeting

WTG - sounds like you are making great progress on your swimming!

I love to swim! - the running is the one I have trouble with :-)

Marking my place in the thread.

Bought a new Weight Watchers scale on sale for $40 made by Clairol.  It shows beginning weight, current weight, goal weight, body fat lbs., body fat %, BMI, hydration level, and bone mass.  Wow!  That's a lot of information.  Plus, it has a seven year warranty. 

Unfortunately, had to also buy Halloween candy.  My daughter told me what she DIDN'T want me to buy because she didn't want to be tempted to eat too much candy.  So I bought stuff that I know we'll give away and hopefully not consume too much.  Also bought gum to keep the mouth busy and out of the candy bowl.  Whatever we don't give away, I'm going to take to work and give it away. 

Have a great evening, everyone!   

Wow - awesome buy on the scale!

Good call on the gum and buying candy that you don't really like.  My WW leader handed out a list of halloween candy and the points associated with even the fun size candy is well - Not so fun.

How great that your daughter is thinking that way!  You guys are a great influence on each other!

MrsUSMC - 2007-10-28 7:38 PM Laurie, that scale sounds really cool! I hear you on the candy. DH will take any leftovers we have to work so the Marines will eat it. We bought ours today at Costco. Right after that I tried on a zip up sweater cardigan in an XL, just for fun 'cause I knew it wouldn't fit, and you should have seen my face when it did fit! LOL I tossed that sucker in my cart without even looking at the price! LOL That's the first time I've been able to buy clothes there. I bought 2 bags of single serving sugar babies 2 weeks ago and put them on the fridge. They're still there. I cannot believe I haven't scarfed them down. They're 2 pts per bag. Of course I also bought M&M's and put them in the freezer and they ARE almost all gone, and they're 4 pts per bag.

Terri, that is sooooo cool!  You have to love it when that happens - I'm waiting for that to happen with my black skirt!

LOL - M&M's vs sugar babies - ummmm, no contest!

I had an okay first week back on plan......didn't log all the food like I wanted to but I did have more onplan days than off and worked out more than I have been.......

and I lost 2 pounds!  I was really afraid to get on the scale this morning!  I'm glad I did......  

Can I join in?

I'm a (relapsed) lifetime WW member. I just finished my first seasons of Tris and I'm hooked, but I thought the training alone whould help me get my weight under control again. No such luck. So, I started WW Core plan 2 weeks ago, and have lose 3.8lbs. I'm absolutely loving it, and need all the accountablity and motivation I can get.

I'd love to be a part of the group.

Welcome!

BunnyB - 2007-10-29 6:27 PM Hey ladies! Sorry for being so quiet for the past couple of weeks. I have been in some training classes for work gearing up to take a professional certification exam on Friday. I've been stressed and eating my way through it. I've not made it to my WW meeting since the 15th and I'm up about 4 pounds since then according to my home scale. I desperately need to get myself back on track, but I'm struggling to find my good eating mojo again. I'll definitely be signing up for the November challenge. I know joining in on the October challenge definitely helped keep me motivated with my exercise. I just need to figure out what I want my goals to be.

Hey Melissa,  Good to hear from you!!!!

Sorry to hear things have been stressful - we have all been where you are and you will get it back.

Seems like Dee is open to just about any kind of goals, maybe you could do one around good eating mojo - something to think about anyway

I don't know what my weight will be as of November 1, but as of my last weigh in, it was at 251 something (missed WI this week due to a doing a 5k).  So, fell free to update the log at 251.  That should work.

Thanks! 

MrsUSMC - 2007-10-29 2:16 PM FOOD FIND! If you have a Trader Joe's, you've got to get yourself some Spicy Ranchero Egg White salad. It was mentioned at our WW meeting last week and we were reminded about it yesterday. I stopped by there and got some and oh, my! It's yummy. I have some 1 pt roll-ups I got at Henry's and they are so yummy together. 1/2 the container (more than enough for 1 sammich) is just 1 point. It's not overly spicy, but has great southwestern flavor. They also have a chive one, and I bought it too, and will let you know how that tastes, probably tomorrow

That sounds yummy - We are getting a Trader Joes sometime soon -

MrsUSMC - 2007-10-30 9:46 PM Okay, I tried the chive egg salad today. It's okay. I prefer the other one; however, I can see this chive one on crackers as a dip type snack. It had too many chives in it for me. And it's green

sounds like it's not as good as the other one

and ewwww, it's green? LOLOL
