WLC Sunday Chatter

[sunshineluv]

So far so good for me. I have been eating healthier low cal meals so I can splurge on snacks. I hope to keep up this momentum, the work days can be harder for me bc I get bored.

I looked up the winning percentages of the last wlc and if I lost that percentage I would be at my wedding weight! I have a hard time believing I can do that this quickly, but I like seeing that some people can, it is motivating to me.

I ordered a fit bit Friday night.

Is anyone else on mfp? Want to friend me? My screen name on there is sunshineluv1392.

How is everyone else doing with the kick off of this wlc?

[sunshineluv]

Oh and TmI but I am writing this thread from the tub, and I have to pee bc I am drinking so much water. This is making my bath not as relaxing!!!!

[vthokie]

I'm doing pretty well. I'm starting PiYo tomorrow. I started MFP again, so I've been watching my calorie intake. I went shopping today. WHY does it have to be so expensive to eat healthy?! Our bank account is hurting this month, so my meals aren't what I would like then to be, but not bad. I need to drink more water today, I was outside all day yesterday, and I'm dehydrated

Good luck with piyo! That may be my step two of this, if I can't get in shape on my own.

I agree about it being so expensive. It is frustrating. And healthy stuff expires quickly not like the cheap delicious pop tarts!

[laurack]

I've also been drinking a ton of water to try and fill up!

I had a bad day yesterday, was fine until dinner but we went to friends and they made a dessert so I feel like I have to eat some or it would be weird? I don't know how to deal with those situations. Then I had two beers as well so I was well over for calories

Today I've been great though! At a kids party and I didn't even have cake! There was pizza but I just had one slice and a ton of carrots from the snack tray. And they weren't serving any alcohol so that was good too. I mean good and bad haha

No exercise today except I did bounce in a bouncy castle for about five minutes then my legs were sore lol

[browndog]

We had friends over this weekend, so things are not off to a great start, I'm hoping I can recover and get serious. I looked up the percentages too and I would have to lose a lot to win based on the last challenge. I don't lose weight quickly in general, so this challenge will probably just keep me feeling accountable. I have jogged every day though, so that is positive!

[kdrake8]

I'm doing ok! I started piyo today and it was hard but also with no jumping or running I am wondering what kind of results it will give. I also have been doing shakeology every day.

I'm here too hon. I was supposed to clean eat last week but we seriously couldn't afford the grocery list so I has to modify.

Can I bug you with some WW questions?  I started about a month ago, lost 8 pounds in the first two weeks.  Then only maybe one pound the next week.  I got discouraged and we went on vacation, so stopped tracking for a bit.  I want to get back on it, but I am thinking maybe they are giving me too many points for nursing?  Did you ever cut back on the points they gave to continue losing?  Did you eat all of the weekly points they give?

Of course!

When Carson started eating solids also, I adjusted it for "part time breast feeding" or whatever it's called. You get 7 extra points instead of 14. I tried to eat minimal amts of the weekly points as well.

What is shakeology? Does it mean you just drink shakes instead of meals? I feel like I would be very hungry

It's so annoying how pricy healthy food is. I went to the health store thinking I will buy protein powder because Greek yogurts are expensive. But protein powder is expensive too! Noooo

No nooo, I like eating too much lol. It's one meal a day. I swap it for breakfast... Unless I'm working at j&j. Then I take it to my shift. Otherwise I shovel auntie Annie's pretzel bites and cheese sauce in like it's my job.

[vthokie]

Mmmm. Pretzels and cheese

[lynzee21]

If there is fruit in the pancakes it counts as healthy right?

I'm doing ok, but nursing just makes me a crazy hungry person. I made much better choices at the store this week though. So at least if I feel the need to eat it hasn't been Oreos or brownies.

[laurack]

Yeah nursing makes me hungry. I've decided if I go over on calories/ still hungry it's ok if I'm eating decent foods

My big weakness is sweets- cake ice cream brownies etc. With nursing I have no control so if I have any I will just eat a ton like four brownies or something. Best if I just avoid but it's hard because well yum

okay maybe that was my problem?  I was eating most of my weekly points, so when I start up again, I will try not to eat them.  
Loco Coco are you doing WW?  

[browndog]

kdrake8 i just thought of another question: how much fruit did you eat? I think maybe I was eating too much watermelon (since it doesn't count!), but really that still has calories so I think I should eat fewer points if I am going to eat lots of fruit.

Wait, fruit doesn't count on WW? All fruit? What if you just ate five bananas??

I didn't have a problem with the fruit adding weight to me BUT I know I have talked to others who have, so they tried to keep it in check, or counted it for a point or two through the day

Lol! All fruit and veggies are "free"

[abbypug19]

Yesterday I finished Abby's flatbread from Chili's and then looked it up. Oops. And today I'm going over a bit but not too bad. True blood night = popcorn. I have zero free time to exercise, but once H and I adjust to me working nights I'll sign up for the gym to at least squeeze in some time after work.

[orangeblossom4]

I've had a rough start with the in-laws in town and going out to dinner, but I plan to stay within my calories today and hopefully do well the rest of the week!

I was, but C is too freakin fussy for me to worry too much about dieting right now. I have cut milk and cheese and obvious dairy though, and I lost a lot doing that with G (though I was more strict). I'll probably start it again once I am getting better sleep and have a somewhat chiller child. Lol

Yes, one thing at a time.

[Beener]

I had three days of birthday parties so lots if liquid calories. But I've done better with food so that's good.

They say it's normal actually to lose 1-2 lbs a week on weight watchers. Usually you lose a lot the first week or so but that is mostly water weight. So sounds like you were doing everything right! For me is usually lose big the first week then like .6 the next week then maybe 1.5-2 the week after that.
And fruit is free for a reason so I really wouldn't worry about eating too much of it. I used to go to meetings and the leader would say nobody got fat eating bananas lol.

Ha! This is me too. I was out of town so we ate lots if bad stuff. But I did go grocery shopping and bought lots if healthy food today.

I wish I was one of those ladies who lost weight while breastfeeding. I'm not.

[oso]

I've do clean eating for a week and I'm feeling pretty good!  I've been working out as well and I've been on the ball.  I start the Piyo part tomorrow.

shakeology is actually filling. It's the first shake I've ever had that fills me up and keeps me satisfies until the next meal.
