Nothing tastes as good as thin feels! ❤️❤️

Answer 5

It’s just me. I finally decided I was sick of the way I felt and all the excuses! I started 1/21/20 and am down 26. 2 lbs! I’m amazed at my progress. I’m no spring chicken at 61! I tried WW numerous times with not that great of results. Obviously something was different this time. I was really determined and prayed a lot that this time would be different and it is! ❤️ I hope you’re doing well on your journey!  

Comments

@clevie yes! I pray this time too for me will be joining and hoping to not quit half way through again‍♀️what program are you following? Nice they have choices now too! Been with WW years ago Congrats good weight loss

---

@beekeeper131 Thank you! I’m on the Blue Plan! Good Luck to you! Just do the plan! Obviously if you do, it works! I was pretty sloppy at my previous attempts! I’m so happy with what’s happening to me now. I wish you all the best!  

---

@clevie where you just doing online toothanks

---

@beekeeper131 I started at workshops but obviously that stopped in March. I haven’t done the virtual workshops at all and am thinking about just doing online even after they open back up. One amazing tip I did get at one of the workshops was to drink more water. I thought I was drinking enough but I bought a cute purple container (my favorite color! ) on Amazon and now I know exactly what I’m drinking. I try to empty that 64 oz jug twice a day. It really has made a difference, believe it or not!  

---

@clevie you really are amazing. Wish I could get into that mind frame. We have some simularities!  

---

@clevie I am really good at drinking at least a gallon a day always have been sometimes I feel I over drink ‍♀️‍♀️❤️They say the best indicator is to drink half Our body weight in ounces . so a 200lb person drink min 100oz

---

@stiegler In all honesty I’ve just committed to myself that I’m going to try. I was so very sloppy at my previous attempts. I’m just tracking every day, (the WW app is amazing and so helpful) started to get some exercise (I do Leslie Sansone videos. they work for me at my age! ) and I feel like I’ve found a good combination for me. I’m sure my praying did some good too! I wish you so much luck in your journey! ❤️

---

@clevie thank you. I guess I need to pray more too. I know I can do this, because I have done it before. Seems like I get in a "mood" and then I go 100%. Thanks for sharing. We can keep in touch.  

---

@stiegler I’m in no means perfect but I’m just really trying this time! You can do this if I can! Just follow the program! I’ve noticed it kind of just builds on itself. you follow the program and move more and then you realize it’s working then you want to just keep going. we can for sure help each other out!  I’ve tried hundreds of times. I don’t really understand why this time it’s all working! But I’m happy it is! You got this girl!  

---

@clevie thanks for the encouragement!

Answer 27

Mini goals. Back in February I set a mini goal for a holiday each month. Most of the goals are a loss of 5-10 lbs. So far I’m ahead of my goals. Depending on how my WI goes on Sunday, I’ll hit my June goal this week (4 weeks ahead of schedule). I also record NSVs on the chart as well. Really helps remind me how far I’ve come.

Feeling better , plus family and friends comment on how good I look, it’s still hard for me to see but if they do, then I don’t want to go backwards

Answer 34

I wished I had know that as you age, it’s much harder to lose it, and your skin doesn’t have the elasticity to bounce back! Oh well. That’s the way it goes. Happy and healthy! Down 27 lbs!

Answer 43

I worked too hard to lose 64lbs and go from a size 20 to a 10. I wasn’t a size 10 in grade school!  I weigh myself every day, have to stay accountable. I’ve gotten use to eating healthy and taking care of myself. I’ve never felt better! All I can say is WW works if you work it! Oh I’m 74 and loving it!  

Answer 44

What keeps me on track, I look at this as if I were treating an addiction. I know eating that one cookie or that piece of cake will set me off. Not worth it❤

Answer 48

Seeing the scale number go down. And feeling lighter.  

Answer 49

Years ago a coach told me WW is a plan the works if you give it 80 percent of your time. Essentially she told me I don’t have to be perfect and it’s ok to make mistakes

Answer 50

What keeps me on track is that i have done this my 3rd time now because i didn't do very good before my 1st and 2nd so i need to do my 3rd now because I am 36 and weigh 350+ and really need to get down i know it will take time but i need to look at it as a lifestyle change not a diet and we need to take it one day at a time doesn't have to be at fast pace because you can mess up and that wouldnt be so good. Im doing this again to feel better and be healthy and also to make my parents proud because i have lost both of them very young so that's another reason why I ended up with being so overweight plus my biggest weakness is chips soda and ice cream cakes cookies plus the recent job i had i was surrounded by lots of foods and sweets so that also made me gain weight so now with this pandemic im laid off and trying my hardest to eat better and like i said rejoined weight watchers online. So just to need to take it slowly not fast. I have had overweight issues since junior high so its been a struggle but now i feel that im a food addict which is better but hopefully this 3rd time with weight watchers i can turn my life around and feel better for me and no one else. Im 36 i have a long life ahead hopefully if i do better things for myself.

Answer 52

Also- my mantra “Will the next six months pass? ” Yes “Will they pass whether you accomplish something or not? ” Yes “So why not accomplish something? ” Whether you’re working towards a degree, bettering your health, or raising a family. or in my case all 3. the time WILL pass whether we do it or not. so there’s literally no point in not doing it

Comments

Easier to get the bra on

Answer 56

Nothing right now! I am totally derailed! My skinny cloths have some small bulges in them now! I don't like what I see in the mirror today! I am no longer slim! I've got to stop eating everytime I turn around! God please help me stop this constant eating! I don’t want to eat myself out of my skinny clothes even more!  

Answer 57

Answer 59

Wanting to make my goal keeps me going forward. If I stop then I'll go backwards.  

Answer 60

What keeps me on track? Originally it was to look good. Now I realize I stay on track because I Am Worth It! I feel healthier. My last physical I earned an ‘excellent’ from my Dr. And I’m here to tell you that is hard to come by with him. I realize my triggers (can’t have peanut butter in the house), I stay connected with WW, now with zoom meetings. I know I need the connection. The support. -62 lbs. maintained 3 1/2 years now. All because of WW and knowing I am worth it!

Answer 67

Accountability and FINALLY seeing results! And fitting into that smaller size is always a boost as well!  

Answer 68

Staying busy , having a goal , a reward of a new shirt , not a treat .  

Answer 69

Wanting to look like a normal healthy person, not pudgy! I always stop at 10 pounds over the ww goal, and that’s exactly where I am today. Gotta get there this time!  

Answer 70

Me too  

Answer 71

My health, the scale, and how my clothes look

Answer 72

You have to get ready mentally and stay with it. Last year due to illness had to give up almost everything, lost 15 pounds. Now eating everything. I need to get back in my head my eating is bad for my health and clothes size.  

Answer 73

For me it’s now acknowledging that is not a diet. Mentally I’ve struggled with that concept. It’s a very healthy way of eating which will be sustainable x. I just feel so much better about myself. On  and lost 2 and half stone - so far. Just loving it. There is no way I’m going back x

Answer 74

Cuz I never want to go back to the way I was mentally.  

Answer 75

I don't want to get any of the 25 diseases that are common in obese people.

My new size clothes

Comments

@garold250 Mcgrath that’s exactly me too!  

Answer 77

The scale. No joke I weigh everyday. I can tell if I didn’t get enough water the day before or if I was too careless with my pts.  

Comments

Whitney, that’s me too. I’m now trying to do more honest journaling.

Genuinely - being sick and tired of my insecurities which are completly based on my increased weight. 2 stone down and I still don't feel any slimmer at the moment xx

Answer 80

Knowing how far I have come and that I feel so much better.  

Answer 81

This week. nothing, so unmotivated  

Comments

@microgamete931 Wall the week will pass whether we do what we should or not. you just need to ask yourself one question. how do you want to look back on the week? Regret or pride?  

---

@overexert I like that. Thank you!  

---

@microgamete931 Wall just think of getting through every day- tracking honestly Then at the end of the week, you see results- and in 5 months- you could be looking at a 40lb weight loss. I just take it day by day

Answer 82

Looking in the mirror, feeling better, enjoying the freedom of food not controlling me.  

Answer 83

MY DESIRE! The fact that enough is enough

I allow myself a treat on the weekend. Something delicious, like real ice cream with toppings, or a slice of cake. I once did Atkins for 18 months straight and never allowed myself a treat. Needless to say, when I fell, I fell hard.
