St. Patty's Day Check-In!

I'm going to be cheesy and say...Top O' the Mornin' To Ya, Ladies!

Today is our first check-in! Please post your stats in the comments for this post, and I will add them to this post as you add them!

I hope your journey is going well! Drink a green beer today! (Don't forget to add it to your points!)

Here is the check-in format:

username
current weight
goal weight
lbs lost the last week of your personal check in
high point of the week
what you're struggling with
tips or suggestions for the other ladies




************CHECK-IN # 1*****************

rubyshoes
current: 138.6
goal: 120
lost this week: 2.6
high point: I have to say I'm really surprised I lost so much on the first week! I was also surprised that I didn't feel deprived. Lovin' it.
what i'm struggling with: I have had a few times where I was tempted to eat whatever I want, as much as I want, like I used to, but I keep reminding myself that losing wait is more important to me than eating that extra dessert.
tips/suggestions: I feel like variety is key. Eating the same thing gets boring, so I switch it up often!

current: 235
goal: 220
lost this week: 3
high point: I actually turned down a decadent dessert and had a FF pudding cup instead.
what i'm struggling with: trying to find time to exercise!
tips/suggestions: i buy steamable veggies in hopes to get my veggies in since they are easy to cook.

Kitten80
Started at: 163.?
Mini Goal: lose 10 lbs
Big Goal: lose (Approx.) 30
Lost: 7.5 (4 last week & 3 this week? I think)
High point: I turned down chocolate cake out and walked past the ice cream & chip aisles at the store yesterday.
Struggling with: Keeping up with everything (meal planning, shopping, cleaning, & getting exercise in - especially now that it is nice out, I prefer to walk with DS than go to gym and I worry the weight will creep back on)
Tips/Suggestions: I have been buying fruit/yogurt as snacks vs. crackers/pantry stuff - we don't have a lot of room to store things anyhow, so I remind myself it helps with clutter & weight.

This week beautiful spring weather is helping me out! i love getting out w/ the baby and going for walks! being outside keeps me away from food and getting some much needed exercise!

First Check-In: Wednesday March 17

Happy Friday ladies!

Feel free to grab the button to the left to add to your siggy!

I will be posting the first check in on Wednesday, March 17! (St. Patrick's Day) I know that everyone has different personal check-in days, but no worries! Everyone can just post their progress at the moment, their high points this week, their low points, and what you feel you can improve on!

Every day I will try to post a new WW recipe, whether it is one that I have tried, one that I've pulled from the website, or recipes that you tried and loved! Please send your favorite WW recipes to bumpwwblog@hotmail.com so that I can share them with everyone!

I think it would also be fun if everyone wrote a little bio about themselves to share with the other girls!

Good luck ladies, I hope this week is a great one for you!

Welcome!

Hey ladies! Hoping this generates enough interest to get a good group going, so spread the word!

If you're interested in participating, please leave a comment on this entry with your bump username, current weight, goal weight, how many lbs you've lost this week, how many lbs you've lost so far!

For example, here's mine:

I will post a poll to see what day everyone would like to do a check in and I will also create a badge for your siggies!

I've never managed an online group like this, so if you have suggestions or anything to add please e-mail bumpwwblog@hotmail.com! So excited!
