Good morning - we have our first double Roll Call!

I am aware of that comfortable, satisfied, don't need to think about food sensation. It usually occurs when I am mentally and/or physically engaged in an activity that I enjoy. At those times, I am content and not hungry. And if I am hungry, it is appropriately timed and easily satisfied. For me, boredom, anxiety, and…

Good morning!

What's in my pantry? Multiple varieties of canned beans, canned tomatoes in various forms, tomato sauce & paste, jarred pasta sauces, Progresso soups, dried beans, various types of pastas, whole grains, stuffing mix, canned chilies, canned tuna, canned salmon, boxes of mac & cheese for DGC, canned pineapple. Also, brownie…

Good morning!

My DH and I own a small consulting company. My job is office based, mostly a mixture of compliance and HR. How does it impact my WL? Positive: I can usually arrange my schedule to make my meeting, I have a fridge and microwave which makes it easy to bring my lunch, I am in control of my "spaces" in my office. Negative: the…

Good morning! Golf is on the agenda this morning.

I'm tracking on the WW site and using their SP system. When I am tracking, I don't track the low calorie zero point items: coffee, DCoke, dill pickles, etc. If my salad is all veggies, it is all tracked with one entry as salad. I do track little things I know I can over consume: ff half & half, etc. Some things that are…

Thanks for the input! Your responses, as always, have given me things to think about and specific strategies to implement. WW had a series of promotions about "spaces" a while back (my leader mentioned this yesterday as well) that I found very helpful at the time, but the concept had drifted to the back of my mind.…

I made the mistake of setting up my Wii Fit avatar with the help of my two sons and their wives. NEVER do that! As it spun around, made me fat, and called me "obese," all I could do was think that the instructions should have come with a warning to do this in private! It is difficult to change my priority list in a…

Good morning!

Dishes are done. Tracking is done for the day. Time to move out of the kitchen and "close" it.

I’m going to give this another try. When this was covered by WW, I did try to focus on eating my meals without reading or watching TV, but it didn’t stick. It made meal time less enjoyable, and I wasn’t ready for the change. However, it did make me realize that I was unconsciously extending my meal time by eating more in…

Good morning!

Tracked everything today. Kitchen is closed - lights off, back door locked, no need to go back in.

Not a problem for me once WW took away the restriction that only water counted. Between coffee all morning long, a Diet Coke or two for lunch, then decaf iced tea during the afternoon and evening, I am hydrated. I do drink straight water when golfing on a hot day - works better to avoid the leg cramps that @Al_Howard…

I like the edit feature. I like the ability to type my response and scroll up to read the original post. I don't like not having weights posted. I miss being able to hover over an avatar and see the person's name and a few details pop up. Maybe that's available and I simply don't know how to do it. I miss being able to…

Good morning! True, Kim!

My plan for the rest of the year is to change one bad habit at a time. First up - mindless late night eating.

Indulged in late night eating last night. But chose carrots and hummus over the bag of chips.

I check in most weekday mornings. It reminds me that today is a new day, with a new set of points, and new opportunities to be on program. Maybe we should resurrect "The kitchen is closed" thread as a bookend.

Good morning!

Kim, I am a sucker for a direct ask! I just posted that I will take Thursdays.

I will take Thursdays. And, note to self, the day after tomorrow is September 1!

Good morning!

1) Yes 2) Before my morning shower, before going to bed, and other random times. 3) For me, not weighing myself is a "yellow flag" behavior.

Good morning!

Good morning!

Even at my heaviest I was very active, so that hasn't changed due to WL. What has changed is how much easier it is to buy clothes for those activities. Makes a world of difference to be able to wear "normal" size athletic and casual clothing!

Good morning!
