Well, I stuck to the program pretty well this week, I find I have to use all my points and usually my daily activity. I save my "extra points" for the weekend (tequila:D) lol, which is why I luv WW, I can have what I want, just have to be adjust it correctly.

Well weigh in today (2nd wk) and I lost. My average loss for 2 wks is 2.1 per week. Yeah! So am down 4.2 lbs.

My DH's 50th birthday is in Nov. and I am planning on doing a 3day cruise (Sensation) to party with at least one other couple, maybe 2 couples as a surprise BD gift, I just figured up if I lose 1.6 lbs. a week I will be at my goal by then.

Going to St. Augustine today and do some walking.

It's a new week girls, LET'S DO THIS!

To everyone here who wants to make changes in their weight/ health for what ever reason or motivation...GOOD LUCK!!!

 

The sad thing is I didn't even weight 198 lbs at 9months pregnant with the third kid...but over 17 years of eating junk and working night shift...[my 'excuses'] I packed it on. which should have made me realize I've been on day shift now for almost 10 years...and I still weight 190-215...so what's my excuse now?

Looking at the cruise pics from our November cruise, I realized I needed to do something and NO MORE EXCUSES!!! SO here I am talking to my CC buddies who are in the 'same boat', so to speak. My change in body image needs to happen first, the one where I quit telling myself that "I carry my weight well" and look at reality, those bathing suit pics that I've refused to print off the digital camera!!! Think I'll make a poster and hang it on the fridge..as a 'scarecrow'...to keep me out of the fridge.

I like the post of the motivational picture of a woman running on the beach...as no one (even myself) has noticed the missing 10 pounds...I know it will take a lot more to go...but what I am amazed at is how much more energy I have in the last few days. I don't feel like running a marathon or anything...yet, but I have a bit more spring in my step. I have cut out most breads and sugars...if I crave chocolate at around 3 pm at work instead of getting the king size bar I reach for the little mini's and limit to two!! and I don't wolf them down, I savor the tiny thing...every last scrap of it. So I don't feel 'cheated' Just keep me away from the CHEETOS!

I know what ya mean about the chocolate, I have found if I have a cup of low-sugar hot chocolate, it helps fill me up and satisfies my chocolate craving. Also, sometimes I have regular hot chocolate at night with those late night hunger cravings, it's only 2 points. Keep up the good work!:)

I don't have much time as my cruise departs Feb 19th, but if there's one thing I've learned - isn't 5-10lbs down better than staying the same? To a previous poster, there are some changes with Points Plus besides (perhaps) lowering the daily points. Apparently you can do Simply Filling on a as needed basis during the week when tracking is not working out or just because. Something to think about when we're cruising.

Your cruisin' on my Birfday!!!:p

Hi Everyone,

I did not realize there was a blog for this, this is great. I lost 18lbs. on WW Jan-April 2010, cruised in May. Well do to issues with an ill mother, moving to Gainesville (getting my son enrolled in UF):) and hubby having rotator cuff surgery :(, I just haven't had much time for concentrate on me.

I have learned from WW how to look at foods and know the amounts things carry so I have been able to keep off the lost weight, but I still need to lose another 68lbs. So I joined up again online Jan 11, I will weigh in this Sunday, so here's hoping! I have managed to do pretty well this week with this new point system. I don't have time limit, my goal is to be consistent. Sometimes I have to eat more salt in my diet because both myself and my son have low salt levels and dieting plummets them (& your BP) , so this can be a bit fustrating at times. I am finding it harder also at this age, 45, to get the weight off, peri-menapause levels I suppose.

I posted a pic at my work desk of a girl running down the beach and it says "It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing, 8 wks for friends and family and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. KEEP GOING". So I am going for that. Really excited about this blog though because I am on here all the time.

Stats:

Height: 5"8

SW: 246

Lost: 18

CW: 228.6

GW: 160:D

Not a problem, some of our table mates were the same way, they informed the waiter of their preference the first night, so every night after that the waiter would have a nice clean wine glass waiting for him to pour it into.

This just off the 5:00 news in Jax, FL

Carnival Announces 7-Day Cruises From Jacksonville

Cruises Will Go To Eastern Caribbean

 

Carnival Cruise Lines has announced its first 7-day cruises out of Jacksonville. The longer cruises will start in 2011.

The Carnival Fascination, which currently sails out of Jacksonville on 4 and 5-day cruises, will offer the new 7-day cruises.

The Fascination, which underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation earlier this year, can carry up to 2,052 passengers.

The new 7-day cruises will go through the eastern Caribbean, making port calls at Grand Turk, Nassau, and Half Moon Cay, a private island in the Bahamas. The week-long cruises will complement the ship's current itineraries to the Bahamas and Key West.

“Jacksonville has already proven to be a successful homeport based on the convenient cruise options that we offer to consumers from across the Southeastern U.S.,” said Rick Ferrin, JAXPORT's chief executive officer. “We thank Carnival for this clear sign of its commitment to the bright future of JAXPORT’s cruise business.”

Departure dates for the week-long cruises include April 30, May 7, July 23 and 30, and Sept. 17 and 24, 2011.
