Also, I weigh in Friday mornings

I do much better counting points rather than calories. I've tried just doing MFP and I just can't make it work for me but I like points even is does cost me $18 a month. I figure those $18 are going towards my health and not towards mcdonalds or ice cream or whatever.

I'm back here again. I found that I'm way, way more successful counting points rather than calories but I still use the ticker on here and keep an eye on my macros.

Thanks!! This is great info! I've heard a lot about NROLFW and it's on my list to buy. I just have to be really careful with my back. I once had a free weight gym routine maybe 5 years ago but that's also how I really, really hurt my back so I'm a little scared to go at it again.

I haven't been in a long time, just rejoined this week but I think there was a cable one. I'm saving up for one session with a trainer but in the meantime I wasn't sure what to do. I don't know anyone that goes right now that uses free weights.

An ex boyfriend and I were nude afterwards and he grabbed the fat on my stomach with both hands and said "it'll be even more fun if you lose this." He wasn't exactly thin either but it was humiliating and I never felt comfortable around him again.

Hi. I just started posting again but I'm sticking with WW for weight loss. I have a fitbit as well!

I LOVE my fitbit. I definitely walk a lot more now that I can see how many steps I earn and try to beat my previous days "record." I used saved up birthday money back when I got mine and I don't regret getting one at all.

week four weigh-in: -0 lbs total lost: 5 lbs SW: 215.5 (4/6/2012) CW: 210.5 Goal Weight: 130 Month One Measurement: Waist: - 1.5 inches hips: - 2 inches Bust: - .5 inches Arms: - 0 inches Thighs: - 1 inch Well, I didn't lose any weight this week but in the last month I lost a decent amount of inches so I'll take it and be…

week three weigh-in: -.9 lbs total lost: 5 lbs SW: 215.5 (4/6/2012) CW: 210.5 Goal Weight: 130 Hit my first 5 pound mark!

week two weigh-in: -1.1 lbs total lost: 4.1 lbs SW: 215.5 (4/6/2012) CW: 211.4 Goal Weight: 130

Thanks! I am feeling better although I'm majorly missing my coffee. I ended up being allergic to the med they put me on so it's all about the diet right now.

Week 1 (again and hopefully the last week one for a long time lol): -3 lbs, total lose: 3 lbs Woohoo!

I'm doing WW but I'm not currently tracking here. I check in every day and catch up on my friends lives and occasionally post but don't track. Feel free to add me though! I'm loving WW these days! I don't know why but points work better for me than calorie counting.

Thank you! I currently do WW and check in here. I really love counting points (not surer why I prefer it over calories but i seem to do better with points at this time) but I love the message boards and the people over here so I pretty much track at both places right now. Just want to make that disclaimer to people I'm…

Thanks! I'll definitely start with small steps. It sounds so overwhelming when i think about it.

Oh, I'm sorry. I meant she's off the insulin on doctors orders, not her own!

I am absolutely addicted to Walk it Out!

You look great! I'm 5"3 and starting at about 216 pounds so this really speaks to me!

I wear a fitbit. Thanks!

Bump?

Well, today was my week 2 weigh-in and I gained a pound but I refuse to be upset by this. I know I ate healthier and I know I worked out. My mistake was in eating all my weekly points and most of my exercise points. This week I go back to eating half of my weekly points and only a few exercise ones depending on how many I…

This is my favorite recent breakfast and it comes to 7 points... Thomas English Muffins - I like the honey wheat but you can probably cut the points more by getting the "lite" ones 2 slices Oscar Mayer preccoked bacon 1 slice American cheese 1 tiny whip of SmartBalance Omega 3 mayo 2 sliced up grape or little tomatoes 1…

3/23/12 Week 1: -1 lb It's a start!

Thanks! My online subscription is paid up until May 3rd so I want to stick with it until then if not longer. I'm definitely eating much. much healthier today and really focusing on the ghg's.

Thanks! WW has worked with me before. I just need to make sure I'm getting in all my good healthy guidelines. As of today the focus will be fruits and veggies. I figure if I take it a little at a time I'll do better than trying to be perfect right away.

Cheese and yogurt counts. I think cottage cheese does as well. You just have to make sure you get the full serving. I think for yogurt the serving size is 6oz but don't quote me on that. Just found this on the WW page for power foods...all of these count Cappuccino made with fat-free milkl Cheese cottage, fat-freel hard or…

No. I'm horrible at eating protein and never get as much as I'm supposed to. Working on fixing that this week. I did figure out if I make sure to get all my fruit and veggie servings each day that should bring me over 1200. I've been slacking on those.

Thanks guys! Between this and the fitbit forum I'm starting to feel like I might actually know what I'm doing :laugh:

The funny thing I discovered this week was that I was eating less 1100 calories on WW even though I was eating all my points. I also tracked both for a while but always MFP first so I when i would input all my points I was going way over my points. Right now I stand completely and hopelessly lost and confused and it's…
