Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Okay, so last Saturday I started Weight Watchers. Really just want to lose about 10-15 pounds. Don't want to get into the habit of gaining a couple every year. Tomorrow I weigh in. Now I sound like a wrestler or football player. Anyway, just checking in to see what other women are doing to fight the battle of the changing metabolism.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Now that's a first! An easy answer to losing weight without having to do a darn thing. Usually they give little pills to help drop pounds. Now they are taking them away!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	By the way, I lost 2.8 lousy pounds the first week. We shall see what happens this week...as I sit here with my gallon size jug of water next to me, after having had a 4 point breakfast. The thing that kills me is my little glass of orange juice that I can't live without (that was once a huge glass of orange juice)counts as 2 of those points. I think I better go in the Fine Whine Forum!

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Dotsie, You go girl! 2.8 lbs is nothing to sneeze at! If you don't believe me, take a jar of jelly and put it in your pocket. Carry it around all day. When you take it out of your pocket, you will be relieved! See? Weight is weight. 2.8 this week, 2.8 lbs the next week. Slow is the way. Trust me. I am very proud for you. Keep us posted. P.S. One trick I use to do when on WW was taking a piece of red-peppered ham, spreading pimento cheese on it, roll it up and eat it. I use to do a couple of those for part of my lunch. I don't know how many points that is, OR WAS, but it didn't keep me from losing. Course that was a hundred years ago. No joke. I learned that trick while on the Ark.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	The jelly jar made me laugh. Unfortunately, after vacation last week I believe it is back in my pocket. Or should I say...on my stomach or thighs? Due to vacation that was the last time I weighed in. Got to get back to counting those stinkin' points and rid myself of some jelly jars!

smilingthrulife Member Registered: 09/08/03 Posts: 55 Loc: Baytown, Tx	I've been on weight watchers program now for 3 months...I've lost 12 pounds. A very slow process. My weight goes up 2 and down 3 the next weigh in...stable then down 1 the up .2 but i'm averaging about a pound a week. I don't look at it as a diet anymore. Its a "weigh" of life. I have a lot to lose. Maybe one day I will actually hit goal

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	smilingthrulife...great name and welcome aboard. We love it when people register and post right away! Glad to hear you are having success with the big WW. I had to miss 2 meetings in a row so I haven't gone back. Any excuse to put it off again. I'm just thinking more about the points as I eat my way through the day. Thanks for the reminder to get back on track. One of my sisters told me her new rule and it's a toughie! Nothing out of a bag or box! Wow, not that's a challenge.
