well I got all off track last week (my first week) and forgot to track and blah blah. My new week starts today

I also got weighed at the doctor. I was wrong about my weight. It's 164.5, not 170. I gained 2.5 pounds in 3 months, and 3 pounds in 3 months before that. So basically the depo (or me lol) is causing me to gain about a pound a month. Not happy with that at all. Hopefully WW will work and I won't gain and I'll lose! I've never gained weight while nursing (just was very slowww to lose), so I am thinking some of it is the shot.

And I need to get a scale for home. The wii tells me I'm only 151 pounds. LIAR! lol

You're not alone- I've been off-track for 1.5 wks. Not terrible overall, but I've had some bad moments. Didn't even make it to a meeting last week! I'll be going on Thursday or Friday.

Can I join? I just started WW last Thursday. I started at 167 lbs and weighed in this morning at 166. I am doing the online thing because I live out in the middle of nowhere and the nearest meeting is a 45 minute drive. I get 26 daily points and 49 weekly points. I am having trouble determining how to use my points. I have always needed to eat a larger meal at breakfast, lunch not so much and dinner depends on what I ate the rest of the day. I feel bad using more points at breakfast but if I don't I am so hungry all day. Any suggestions?

Hi Mamas! I'm doing WW too. I did it for a while back July-Nov 2011, lost lots of weight. Then I started eating everything high in sugar and calories that I could get my hands on. I gained all the weight back plus 8lbs!!

I started again May 1st and have lost 20.5lbs as of July 8th. I only weigh once a month (on the 8th).

Not doing any exercising (I will start once I lose more weight), just eating super healthy. I do a big cheat day once a month where I pig out on anything I want. I am nursing my DS (2y 9m) probably 8 times a day but don't use any nursing points and most days don't even use all my points.

Congrats to all the Mamas losing weight!!

Starting weight 5/1- 186
6/8-174.5
7/8-165.5

Hoping to reach 148lbs by Sept 16th. That's when I'm going to the beach and that's the weight I got down to last fall. I would say my ideal weight would be 135-140lbs.

I have never quite understood the people who don't eat breakfast- like my husband lol! I will binge at lunch if I don't have breakfast. Skipping breakfast does my blood sugar and migraines no favors!

I finally reached my -10 lb mark last week!!

. So that feels really good. I'm on vacation this week so I'm just praying that I don't gain lol. I've been doing pretty well, & we're with DH's aunt who is doing WW too.

how do those of you doing ww currently like the new system? I did it many years with the old point system.

3GirlieMommy · 07-23-2012, 07:57 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm starting WW and am so grateful for this thread with the great info on EBF and the extra points! I wasn't sure how it would be for me because I have a pretty large appetite, esp. when nursing, but 40 points feels completely doable

PLUS extra flex points? That's great.

Hi Mamas! I joined WW last year after my son's Birth and lost a lot of weight and felt GREAT about myslef! I started WW 6 weeks after his birth and wieghed 166. I achieved Lifetime in July at 138. Found out I was pregant with our little angle girl. Gave birth in March to her and now 4 months later still have about 10 pounds to go!
I track everyday, excersise 5 days a week and for the past 4 weeks have not lost a single pound!! i go between 144-146!! GRRRRR!!! i am going to loose my mind! I have 26 base points and 14 nursing points. I try to not use all my nursing points each day and try VERY hard not use any of my 49 points. I do eat some of my activity points that I earn each day. BUT--my question... do you think I should drop more of my nursing points. My little girl is a strong eater and has NO problem with weight and I have not had any trouble with milk production. I am thinking of dropping 7 points and have a total of 33 points daily.

I know it seems counter-intuitive, but maybe you aren't eating enough points. You are still nursing AND doing exercise 5 days a week... maybe your body is holding onto the weight to make sure you have enough for the baby. Consider trying a week of using all of your nursing points and even some extra for the extra activity. You can always drop more points if you need. HTH
