I didn't weigh in either last week. I'm determined to go on Saturday and even booked a babysitter so I have no excuses. I'll check back into this post on Saturday. Hopefully with good news.
I weighed in on Sunday and had lost 2lbs over two weeks, one of those which included a weekend away where I didn't track anything. Not too bad. I weighed myself at home this morning and am down 4lbs since then - Sunday was also the first day of my period, so I'm sure I was dealing with bloat, as well. My next WI should mean meeting my 10% loss goal.
I've started using my "S Health" app that came with my phone, which has a step tracker. It's a little annoying having to take my phone EVERYwhere, lol, but I'm really enjoying the feature. I have, for now, set a goal of 30 walking minutes per day, and I usually meet half of them just throughout my work day. At night, since it's finally nice, we've been outside with L/walking around to the playground with her. I still haven't pulled out my bike, but I might this weekend! At any rate, it's nice to be moving instead of sitting all day at work and then sitting all night at home.

I was down 2.4 last week for a total of 16 lbs in 9 weeks. I'm not feeling great about weighing in tomorrow. I was up 1 lb this morning but fingers crossed I'm at least even tomorrow.
I lost 1.3, which I was shocked because it was a stressful weekend. I even ate fried pickles from the local bar. I did make dinner one night which was 5 points TOTAL: broiled tilapia - 2 sp - I just used salt, pepper, and mrs. dash's. I put some lemon and capers after on my plate. parmesan green bean fries - 2 sp for 10 cherry tomatoes stuffed with creamy feta and cucumbers - 1 sp for 2 tomatoes.
I also made regular roasted green beans and served the rest of the tomatoes and cucumbers as sides for 0 points each.
I'm down about 5.5, weigh in on Sunday. We are about to have lots of houseguests and eat out a lot, so I'm worried about how I'm going to manage that without being a killjoy (luckily my mom is coming and likes to split entrees and get a salad, so I think I can manage).
I weighed in on Tuesday after my first week. I was down 2.4 of the 30, no wait, 40 pounds, I need to lose. I'm a lifetime member who has been on a several year binge and trying to get back on track. I'm liking the Smart Points fairly well now that I'm used to them. I had to change up some of my former WW go-to meals because of the changes in points due to sugar & saturated fat. I like the leader at my meeting a lot and it seems like a fun group. I've only ever been successful losing weight if I attend the meetings; I need the impetus of an impending weigh-in to keep me on track.
I could have wrote this word for word, except I had 80 to lose and not a fan of my leader, but she's not terrible and I know attending meetings is what works for me. Hoping that this time I'll figure out how to keep it off.

I lost about 1 lb and a half this week, so I'm pretty pleased with my progress. H and I have been on WW for a year next week. Our totals are around 67 lbs lost for me and 58 lbs for him, so we're definitely going to celebrate this weekend
Can I be added to the check-in list, too? I joined last Wednesday, and am down 8.1 pounds since then. I know most of it is water weight/oh-you're-not-having-DrPepper-and french-fries-at-every-meal weight, but it still feels good to have a solid jumpstart. oregonpachey,

I was down .6 this week for a total of just over 10. This is my smallest loss so far, but last weekend I was at a wedding and didn't track at all. So I guess at least I didn't gain!
I still haven't gotten a digital scale, (so cheap! I can't justify spending the money on it!) so I haven't weighed.
I DID wear a pair of jeans today that I haven't worn in 1.5 yearsa size 16 and I was barely squeezing into my largest pair of 18s so I know at least I'm making progress.
Also, I tried the recipe that eb777888 suggested for cauliflower Au gratin (h eats low carb) and omg. I subbed all cheeses for low fat. I ate it with a salad and when I plugged the recipe into the app it said it was 5sp.
I weigh in on Sundays and was up 1.2. I got my period the day before, so that's typical. I bloat like crazy and always gain. It was only 1.2 this month (instead of 4 last month!), so I think I was able to control the cravings and this time it was only bloat. I am a daily at home weigher (I just can't stop!) and am down the 1.2 plus about another .5 right now. Hopefully I'll be down a bit more by Sunday.

My weigh-in was this morning and I'm down 2.9 lbs this week! I'm feeling great about it, especially since my anniversary was this week and we celebrated with an awesome (no tracking) dinner at the new French restaurant in town.
I made Emily's Bites' Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bake (http://www.emilybites.com/2014/02/buffalo-chicken-quinoa-bake.html) a few nights ago. It was pretty tasty and my H even liked it I'll definitely make it again.
This was my second week. I weighed in this morning and had only lost .2lbs since last week so that was kind of a bummer. But in the grand scheme of things I'm only trying to lose 7-10 lbs and I'm down 1.6 total so I really can't complain. Plus I had a few slip-ups last week so it stands to reason. I swear I feel slimmer and less bloated already though.

How do you do the green beans? Just roast them with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top?
And your cherry tomatoes just have feta and chopped cucumber in them?
Your dinner sounds great for a nice low point value.
