How is everyone doing with weight watchers?
I maintained my weight this week. I am hoping it will budge though because I still have 12 lbs until I reach my goal weight. I am going to try to start incorporating exercise at least 4 times a week, but I have a feeling this will be easier said than done.

I weight Sunday to Sunday but I will still check in on here. I lost 4 lbs last week! At first I thought I wasn't losing but then I stepped on the scale at the end of the week and was surprised by the missing 4 lbs. I have been working out 4 times a week and I think I was so busy with sick DS (RSV) last week that I didn't have time to eat snacks.
I fell off the wagon. I gained 2 lbs. Waaaaah!!
I gotta get motivated again.
I started last Tuesday, and by Friday I had lost 3 pounds! But... then DH and I went away for the weekend, and I regained some. I weighed in yesterday and ended up losing 2 pounds for the week.
I really want to get this weight off, so I have been working out 5-6 times per week. I hope I can stay motivated!
I weighed in on Sunday, and had maintained to the exact tenth of a pound from the Sunday before. Totally bummed me out, because I tracked EVERYTHING and worked out five times and stayed in my points budget. Grrrrr... But, the scale is showing a little lower this morning, so I think I'm on track for a good weigh-in on Sunday.
In other news, I'm giving up dessert for Lent. Maybe that will help...
I just started tracking on Sunday and I've lost a pound already. Tonight will be bad - it's cheese and chocolate night at cooking club and I made brownies.
How do you guys generally deal with tracking things like potlucks where you're eating little bits of food from random sources? I was thinking about just putting something called "Cooking Club" that uses all of my weekly points or something along those lines. Or should I actually try to account for everything I eat?

I don't have any experience with this but maybe you could try to track everything you eat just once and then you'll have a general idea of how many points it uses for future reference?
I weigh in on Sat mornings and last week I lost a pound (slow and steady). I figured that was pretty good since I hosted my DS's bday party and it was valentines.
My WW leader recommended tracking snack points by doing BLT's (Bites, Licks & Tastes). I just write "BLT =3pts" if I know that I've been snacking but it's not enough to be a measurable quantity. If I get lazy, I just leave 5-10pts extra each week in case I'm off with my tracking. Granted leaving extra points is easier to do with all these nursing pts.
I'm trying to be really good this week so we'll see if it shows up on the scales on Sat am :-)
I'm down 2 lbs this week. I've lost 5% of my body weight since starting and have graduated to my next goal.
