I play hockey and I usually go out for an hour walk at lunch time, but that's about it.

I would suggest integrating some weight lifting into your routine if you can bear it. It's really the best way to lose weight and not yo-yo. If you do it through dieting only you will gain your weight back the minute you start eating normally again (which inevitably happens).

The thing with WW is they tell you you can never eat "normally" again though.

I know I should do weights, but going to gym is awful. I would rather have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick than go to the gym. That's how much I hate it.

yeah, i feel ya mu_agd. i'm in such a sugar mood today. all i want are some sour patch kids, but i know i can't. although my willpower is next to nothing right now so i'm thinking i will since i have actually worked out a lil bit today. cleaning and doing this dance revolution game with the kids at work is something.

Ok so I am down another 1. Slowly but surely!!!
I am concerned though because tonight we are leaving for 3 days at Disneyland. My dad's Jr. High Marching band is marching at Disneyland. It is going to be hard to find something to eat that won't just kill me. I am taking some snacks with us that are low points but I have to eat meals also. Any one have any ideas?

I'm sure you'll be able to get meals that aren't all deep fried in fat and all the bad stuff. There must be restaurants that serves decent meals. I would stick with fish and chicken while you're there. It's usually leaner than the beef and pork or lamb that restaurants would serve.
Have saladsd and vegetables instead of fries or. or have backed potato or rice. Don't put sour cream on baked potato. Butter is not great either, but maybe they have margerine, or if you can eat it plain, or with ketchup.

I keep losing and gaining it all back, losing and gaining it all back. I really am having trouble sticking to the plan. I don't know how to keep my self on track.
Any suggestions?

one of the things that helps me is the fact that I told all my friends and family that I was doing WW. They have been ultra supportive. The eat with me and even try to pick low point stuff for themselves. I even mention it at work when someone offers me something bad, normally it keeps them from tempting me anymore plus they have almost become a cheering section. My dad even picked up some snacks that are 0 points to keep around their house so if I want something I can without being bad

My mother is doing weight watchers and so is her friend (whom I've known all my life). My mum was the one who got to me to go in the first place. People know I am on WW, but my problem is I'm the one who will make tyhe bad food choices, I don't need anyone around me to tempt me. I can do it all by myself

I just need to refocus. It's hard and I'm not doing a very good job.
I think part of my problem is I snack mroe at work because I am bored out of my mind. It's hard for me not to eat when I am bored.

If you got to dottisweightlosszone.com it may be listed. Look under restaurants and go to Chili's.

I went to the meeting this morning and I gained 2.2 pounds. I hardly worked out the past two weeks and I missed the meeting last week. I am bummed out and at times I considered quitting.

[Lady Pi Phi]

I am afraid to go to WW tomorrow.
I gained 4 punds last week and I'm pretty sure I've gained this week. I've almost gained back everything I have lost.
I just can't stay motivated. The past month has not been a good one. I keep telling myself I am going to get back on track, but then I don't.
I feel you CatStar, sometimes I want to quit too.

try to start thinking of it in terms of health instead of weight and it might help. look at it as your life (or quality of life) depends on it. that's helped me a bit. i totally went off my diet yesterday and i felt like poop. i was tired and unmotivated all day. i'm back on track though.

Yeah I didn't even go to WW this morning.
It's my friend's birthday tonight, so I already know that I am going to totally blow it.
