Karen replied to Katie's discussion 'WW Leader Heavy Selling??' in the group Weight Watchers

I find that some leaders are worse at the upsell than others. It totally turns me off too. Right now, I"m doing WW online and it's nice to not have to deal with the fake food products they're always trying to sell you!

My leader doesn't do that. She may mention them, but she doesn't push them very hard. She might mention when they have a sale, but lots of non-WW food is also mentioned.

I switched meetings because of this! Try shopping around for a different leader? Maybe check meetings where you work or live, or just different days/times.

Rose McIntyre replied to Katie's discussion 'WW Leader Heavy Selling??' in the group Weight Watchers

When I attended meetings, my leader didn't push anything. She did give samples of the bars and even would talk about which snacks were on sale. If something came up and they had a product, she'd promote it, but never like what you're saying. We alw…

Katie commented on Rachel's blog post 'Binged :('

You are right about the only option being to keep moving on. Do you think there might be triggers that are causing this? Stress? Boredom? Not Eating Enough? Oddly enough I recently read that intensive exercising (like running) kills your appetites.…

Suzyn commented on Katie's blog post 'What If Quitting Stopped Being An Option?'

I'm sitting here with a huge smile on my face... this is such an inspiring post! And as it happens, it's very close to what I told myself this morning when I ran. I've gained about 15 pounds since I first did C25K last year (man it hurts to say that…

Profile Information

About Me:

I'm trying to lose weight and get healthy! I recently joined WW and think its all starting to click for me, no off and on plan just life with good choices everyday. I think those Ask Roni's helped me figure that out and somehow I not only heard it but I "got" it. I'm a full time student, full time employee, and full time wife and "mom" to my furry kids.

Plan of Choice:

Weight Watchers

Workout Philosophy:

I only exercise because I have to

GOALS:

1. Hit my 5 lb loss this week (1-27) I'm only .6 away so I hope I blow right passed it!
Met it!! 1-27-09 !!

2. Make 3 minutes on this really intimidating step machine thing at the gym that all the super fit people seem to be enjoying by March 31st Met 2-22-09

3. Run a 5K by 12-31-09 (hopefully before since I live in Wisconsin and it'll be cold AGAIN :) by then.

4. Hit my 5% goal by March 1, 2009 (247.8) Met it!! 2-17-09

5. Hit 10 lbs loss by Feb 21, 2009 (249) Met it!! 2-10-09

What If Quitting Stopped Being An Option?

I updated my blog and just wanted to share here too! :) 10,560 steps or as it’s more commonly known…2 miles! That’s what I ran yesterday without stopping. For the first time in my ENTIRE life. Holy cow!! What do I attribute this to? I wish I knew 100% but one thing the husband said really stuck with me. He’s run for about 20 years and I asked him if he ever just wants to stop or does it just not enter his mind. He said he just doe… Continue

My Boot Camp is Over... Pictures :)

Well we’ll start with the weigh in results… I was down .6. I am tempted to say “only” but in all honesty I didn’t work out quite as much as I have been (homework had piled up and let’s be honest you gotta do it…) and I’d lost 15 in about 5 weeks so I’m sure the old body is in some transition. So when all is said and done I’ve lost 16.2 in 40 days and 36.2 over the course of the year. Not too shabby. I’ve included some before/during pictures in this post… why is that so scary? Maybe because it’s… Continue

Hamstrings and Loss

Wow it’s been a while! Some updates to start! I have started my own blog A Running Start - how appropriate :) I still will be around on BTL but like Arlene I just felt like branching out a little and getting some web experience. I have lost 7.6 lbs as of last Sunday on my boot camp plan and have reached the ½ way point as of Monday so only a couple more weeks to go! In fact two weeks from this Sunday it will be complete. I have to… Continue

The Switch Has Been Flipped...

Ever had something that was going so well you didn’t want to talk about it because you were sure you’d jinx it? Well that my friends is why I have been sooo quiet lately :) You know that elusive light switch we all talk about when it comes to weight loss… when it’s on life is good and when it’s off we can’t get on that healthy living train for love or money! I’m happy to report my switch is ON and the light is burning brightly. The husband and I are in the throes of our 40 day boot camp and I’m… Continue
