Washington Babies

I am jumping in with both feet.

This is being sparked by a well-intentioned friend, posting pictures of me on FB.

Maybe it's a good thing, but I am mortified. My friend posted pictures of me, on her wall, that made me look, well, FAT!! Fatter than I have ever been/looked in my life. I am mortified. And I am pissed. I wasn't consulted about said photos and, I know that you don't have to ask permission to post photos, but these were of my family and my son's baptism. She better not tag me in them because I don't want them posted to my profile, to look at all the time. I hate FB for this reason.

Anyways, enough ranting...I am on the WW bandwagon, full force, as of today. I just finished signing up online. I have no more excuses. I am done with this chubby stuff. It's time to work on me for a change. It's time to put myself first, for.a.change! It's time to feel good again. That's all. 

Have a good Weekend!

  • I'm so with you, except I didn't have a baby 5 months ago so I have no excuses for having failed to lose any in a long time...I've been on a plateau for a few years now....

    Good luck, and I'm here if you need any support!  I haven't done WW, but I've been dieting since I was practically 13, so I have definitely been there...

  • For what it's worth I thought you look super cute at Max's baptism. I loved your dress. :)

    Good for you for making some time for yourself! I wish we lived closer! I would totally go to meetings with you. HUGS!

  • you should join my gym!  I could totally use a gym buddy and they have a daycare there that is only $1 an hour =) 

  • I'll be your WW buddy! I'm going back on the wagon on Tuesday. 

    My breaking point came yesterday when I realized that all of the food in my house fell into one of the following categories:

    1.  Cookie

    2.  Pizza

    3.  Chinese food

    4.  Fried

    No fruits, no veggies, no whole grains, nothin'.  Just bad-for-me foods.

  • Yeah katie!!   not for feeling fat, that sucks... but for jumping on the ww bandwagon.   I LOVE it!  and I am determined that this will be the last time I lose the weight...  I was even able to make a decent choice out to dinner last night at gordon beirsch and not feel like I screwed it... and the scale reflects that this morning.   I actually LOOK FORWARD to w/i day.   LOVE my leader!!

    Aren't you in the Kent area?  I've heard the Saturday meeting there is fabulous...  I go to Renton on Sunday, but will probably switch to Sat in Kent soon simply because tony wants to go to church on sundays.... 

    good luck!!

  • Good for you, Katie!  I just recommitted myself yesterday.  I'm almost looking at it as a way to distract myself while I'm waiting to get PG.

    I do hate that about FB as well and I've been known to untag myself from unflattering pictures.

    Good luck!  I know you'll rock it. :)

  • I hate that aspect of FB!  I looked through their FAQs to find a way to block people from tagging me without my permission and there is none now.  Lots of suggestions from members to send an approval email so you can say yes or no to tagging, but nothing in effect yet.  It's such an invasion of privacy!

    Good for you for getting back on the wagon.  I've taken, gee, the last MONTH off WW and I'm still trying to get the motivation to get back on the plan.  Weren't we doing a WW check-in on the board for awhile?  That'd be great to share experiences and recipes 'n such.

  • Thanks for the support ladies!

    I am just doing it online, so no meetings. If I don't succeed, in the first month on my own, I will go to meetings. In the mean time, I don't do well with going to things. I would find a way to not go! Crappy of me.

    Jen, I have a gym membership at Mieko's Fitness. I have gone a total of two weeks since Max was born.

    CG, I will totally be your WW buddy. And anyone else who needs a motivational buddy. Can we make a button?Stick out tongue

    Beth, I do live in Kent, but not for long. We are moving out by the end of this month - beginning of October. If I do go to meetings, they will be closer to where we are moving.

    Misha, You can do it! I believe in you. You are the reason why I know that I can't make any more excuses. It's hard to jump back on, when you have fallen off and TTC can be such a rollercoaster. I lost a lot of weight before we started TTC and I gained it all back before I got PG. Emotional eater much?? You can do it!

    So can you Deb!

    Hope I didn't leave anyone out. I heart you girls!

    So you guys know, I'm pretty sure that if someone tags you in a photo, you can untag yourself and after you do that they can't tag you in it again.  I'm guessing this is the case because I tagged a scandalous photo of a friend at our wedding and he apparently untagged it and when I tried to tag it again it said I couldn't.  Worth a shot.  :)

    Yes, you can.  I do it all the time. ;)

  • FWIW Katie, I think you're beautiful and sassy, but I understand how you feel. You can totally untag yourself from photos, I do it all the time. Lol. Can I join your WW wagon too? We lose the weight and we can take a trip to Belize ;)

    I'm in for check-ins. I joined WW online about 3 weeks ago and have not kept up. I need someone else to hold me accountable.  I have condo time to use so I'm in for Belize or anywhere with a beach and little umbrellas.

  • Katie, I am so sorry! That's never fun when people post horrible pictures of you. Maybe she didn't think it was such a bad photo?? I posted a picture of DH's aunt and thought it wasn't a bad one, only to find out she didn't like it, so I deleted it. It was from a family reunion.

    I know you can do the WW program. If you need any support we are all here for you and I plan on starting WW again here in a month or so. Right now I am hardly eating and have really not much of an appetite just drinking more fluids then anything. I think my belly is still shrunk and not use to eating much. So I will be a WW buddy for you if you need one.
