WW does not advocate losses in excess of 2 lbs per week. They explain the 5+ lb losses in the first week or so, but I've never had a leader or employee of WW encourage such large losses after that first week. And I've been to quite a few different meetings with different leaders in the last 10+ years.

LOL

So much this.

This is my approach too. While it would be nice to get to goal weight before pregnancy, I'm at the top end of normal and in the immortal words of Spongebob "I'm READY".

I'm always looking for new fitbit friends and love, love, love the challenges! https://www.fitbit.com/user/232KQ8

5'8" here and right now the goal is to get back down to 150-155 lbs (size 6-8) and then start recomp. At 165 I'm a size 8-10. I was 5'8" and 135 lbs at age 13 and I was skin and bones! Can't imagine wanting to get back down to that weight.

I'm 5'8", 165 pounds and generally wear size 10 for work pants 8/medium for tops (I'm pear shaped). My jeans are size 8, but they are rather stretchy and will probably still fit when I get back down to the 150-155 range where I am most comfortable.

According to this article (also posted above)...I don't think it will sync just because it's connected to wifi (unlike the Aria scale that syncs through wifi). https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/I-lost-my-Fitbit-tracker/?l=en_US&c=Topics%3ALost_Stolen&fs=Search&pn=1

Doesn't the fitbit have to be within bluetooth range of the device it is connected to? If 7000 steps were logged the day after, that tells me it was still close enough to your device to sync. Maybe check purses/bags/pockets?

I've used a fitbit for the last three years. Started with the One, then the Flex, back to the One and now have a Zip. The Flex was my least favorite model, it just didn't seem as accurate as the One or Zip. I've also tried out the Misfit Shine and the Garmin VivoSmart. The Misfit was pretty, but doesn't have the social…

I'm always up for fitbit challenges! The workweek challenge is especially motivating! Feel free to add me: https://www.fitbit.com/user/232KQ8

After re-reading, I completely agree.

I'm only on page 4 so far, but this pretty much sums it for me.

I agree with all of this. I'm lucky enough to be able to do WW@Work for free, but I still prefer to use MFP over their app and points. I did some parallel logging for a bit and the results were very similar. Like above, I find MFP easier to use and more informative.

For breakfast I have started adding whey protein to my oatmeal. It's actually pretty good, especially if I mix in some fruit too.

Same as above, I eat 1600-2000 calories based on my exercise. Also looking for fitbit friends for challenges! https://www.fitbit.com/user/232KQ8

Looking to do some fitbit challenges (especially the workweek challenge!) https://www.fitbit.com/user/232KQ8

LOL. As a lurker, I agree 100%.

+1 - I could not agree more. This is one of the most important lessons I've had to learn...well, continuously learning anyway.

One thing that helps me at social gatherings is to have some gum on hand. If I have a piece of gum to chew on after I eat, I'm less likely to go back for seconds. Other than that I agree with what many have already said, eat a little less on the weekdays to have a buffer on the weekends.
