Announcing a new feature to my blog. "I Lose You Win"!
I've decided to help encourge myself with weight loss
for every 10 pounds I lose I will be offering Blog Candy.
Since I reached my first 10 pounds I'm offering the following:
Two different clear stamps by inque boutique (formerly See-De's)
large package of silver eyelets, package of yellow brads, and two charms
Just post a comment to this post with words of encourgement for me with my weight lost.
Winner will be selected at random at each of my WW meetings. So first winner
will be on 6-25-08 at 6:00pm.
Good Luck!!!!

Guess I am first, that in itself is a first:). My Words of encouragement are simple WATER, I found the more you drink the more you lose. It worked for me when I was doing the WW program. Never give up even when you reach your goal, still go to the weekly meetings. I stopped and need to get back to it myself!

You can do it. I know it's hard but I went on a low fat lifestyle change in Sept and I have lost 50lbs! I never thought it would happen. Mine came off slowly too. The 2-3 lbs a week is correct.
Stick to it and good luck.

Karen.. You can so do this..If you ever need any encouragement please let me know. I have SOOO been there!Hugs..Carrie
Congratulations!!! Way to lose. I'm working on it myself.Keep up the great work.
Congratulations on your weight loss! I lost 56 pounds through Weight Watchers. It took me a little over a year. I am so happy that I did it! I have gained a few recently and am now back to my 20 points a day and losing them. I am determined to keep them off. 2 Years so far! Hang in there and remember to tell yourself it didn't come on overnight. I would sometimes only lose ounces or hit a plateau and lose nothing for weeks. My favorite quote was, "Nothing tastes as good as slim feel!s" I still say that to myself when I am feeling sorry because I cannot have something someone else is having. I wish you much success and will keep checking your blog for your progress!
Way to go, Karen! Congrats on the first 10! You can do it!
Way to go, Karen! Congrats on your first 10! You can do it!

Good luck with your weight loss. I am a life member of WW but that doesn't mean I am slim by any means! I acheived life status about 10 years ago. I started back to WW Feb. 2007 and am still going. I have lost about 30 pounds this time and am about 5 pounds from my goal. I know it is a daily struggle! What really helps me is to drink lots of water! I like those little Crystal Lite packets (lemonade particularly) to flavor my water.
Good luck!
And ENTER ME!!

Congratulations on your weight loss Karen! Keep going. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
Karen, it's good to see a picture of you - now I know who I'm talking with on all the yahoogroups. I'm so sorry to hear your mother cried all day - bless her heart - but am thankful that you were able to calm her in such a short time. I will be praying for you and your mom on this matter. Also, I'm sure sending up prayers on your WW loss; it's outstanding that you've lost more; don't be discouraged that you only lost 2.5 pounds; more will come off; know that there is the next time and it will be better. I'm so excited for you. Chat soon,
That is the BEST incentive I've heard! I'm a WW lifetimer, but about 7 pounds over goal--so I am getting out my points calculator and losing WITH you!
YOU GO GIRL!
WOOHOO to you, Karen! You are an inspiration to me to start back on WW...it does work when done right! Congrats on 10 pounds gone!!!

HUGE Congratulations on your loss, Karen! And the capris pants? that's awesome news - it's so much fun when something like that works out that way! ENJOY wearing them on your hard-earned vacation! I'm proud of you - I know it isn't easy, but you go, girl! Remember the water, oh, and I read this morning that Menthol Eucalyptus cough drops for some reason can help with food cravings - is that weird or what???
Hey Karen,good luck with your WW meeting and loosing weight I'm sure you'll do great. Holly
That is so cool, you lost 10 pounds! Do you realize your knees feel like you lost 40? I saw that in a commercial, for every pound you lose your knees feel like you lost 4. I am going to use you as an example for dh. You are an inspiration.
Hi Roomie!
Great blog candy -- I wasn't going to enter until I saw it, then I changed my mind.LOL
CONGRATULATIONS on the weight loss. It is so hard to do -- you should feel so proud! You are right to celebrate every pound, because every pound is a victory. You Go Girl!
Good luck with your weight loss! Weight Watchers is a great program and has huge success! My fingers are crossed for you. :-)
Congrats on a steady start to your weight loss goals! We could all use some inspiration there :)
Good luck with the upcoming weekend - keep your eyes on the prize - a new shape AND better health! Thanks for sharing with us.
Congrats on the weight loss Karen! That is awesome, I know you can hit your goal. Just remember it takes time and sometimes there is a laspe in the loss, just hang in there. And don't lose it to fast so you don't get sick.

You didn't add the weight all at one time so loosing it won't be all at once. Just hang in there and the weight will come off. Congrats on the 2.4 that was lost. Keep up the good work and you will do it. Charlotte in Indiana
congrats on the weight loss your friends are so proud of you. Great blog candy.
Karen,
Three years ago, after I had 3 rounds of Chemo for my Cancer, I weighed 230 lbs. I went to WW and I lost 40 lbs! It didn't happen over night. I lost a litttle every week. The first week, I lost 4.5 lbs., but from then on, it was 2 or 2.5 lbs. a week. It takes perserverance, but I'm sure you will be able to reach your goal. When you get discouraged, just remember that I did it at age 73, with Neuropathy (I couldn't exercise) so, I know you will be able to do it, too! And, for each 10 pounds you lose, I will give YOU something!
Congrats! Water, exercise, and snacks eat fruit and veggies. Oh and don't forget to be creative. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on the first 10 lbs!!
I also am in WW.
My best solution has been the Hungry Girls cookbook. I also get an email from them each day with suggestions and recipes.
Writing everything down that I eat has also helped.

Way to go - slow and easy (and lots of candy for us LOL). Congratulations

First: congrats on the weight loss.
Second: drink water -- i use country time lemonade add in thingys. And now I have added it fairly regularly that I can even just grab a bottle plain water and go.
Third: stop drinking pop/soda.
Fourth: walk -- i do my treadmill while listening to my son's zune. i count songs rather than watch my time. up to 5 songs now.
Fifth: other than at weight watchers meetings don't get on that scale. it could discourage you at your most vulnerable.
Sixth: you go girl. keep up with what has worked so far.
Windy wasn't I?
Great blog candy you are giving away. Thanks.
Congratulations on losing 10 pounds. That is awesome! Keep focusing on what you have accomplished and remind youself that you CAN reach your goal, one pound at a time. jmniffer
Good Luck Karen. It sounds like your on the right track. Keep busy and you don't remember you are hungry. Pulling weeds is fantastic excercise. I want to loose some weight too so if you can do, so can I!

Wow, Karen. 10 lbs. is great! You can keep this up--just remember how much healthier you will be, and you will be able to enjoy doing things with family and friends so much more.
God bless,

Congratulations! I also try to loose some weight and the first two weeks went well, hope I'll be able to do so good as you!
Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
Congratulations!!!! I did weight watchers a couple years ago and I loved it! I really need to get back on it, I went back to all my old ways when school started again :( Best of luck, I'm sure you can do it!
WTG!
I found myself thinking a lot about adding some sport to my life (sounds easier than changing nutrition habbits) - I hope to buy (in the next few days) something that will let me train at home... I hope it will be as I expect it to be and who knows - maybe the next time you announce losing - I will be able to join you... LOL
Congratulations!! That is great! Losing weight is soooo hard, you should really be proud of yourself. Keep up the good work!
Kerry Morgan
My would say that keep drinking your water and exercise, that is how I did when I was on WW. Great program by the way. and don't let youself get to comfortable when you get to your goal believe me it is easy to let the weight come back on. Good luck to you.
oh, this is an awesome idea. I'm right there with you girl on the losing! I agree with the water! keep on going!
Woohoo, Karen on your 10 pound loss. I love the idea of doing something non food wise for a reward for losing. I lost 100 pounds on WW in 2001 and now I am a WW leader! I still have to watch it when the scale goes up and get back on track with journaling, exercising, etc. I love weightwatchers.com , you can get a lot of recipes and encouragement on the message boards. I really made this a lifestyle change and now exercise everyday and watch what I eat, lowfat and low calorie. You can do it!
Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy.
Oh, congrats to you!!!
You are an encouragement to me!
What an awesome idea!!!!! I reached lifetime at WW last Summer and was so proud od myself, then, I gained it all back this past winter. I was so discouraged and have not been well enough or motivated enough to lose it again. I love your idea Karen......would you mind if I stole it?? (i would give you credit by linking to your site.)
10 lbs That's great!
Congratulations and keep up the good work.
Water and exercise is the key

Congratulations on your first 10 lb. loss. WW is a wonderful program and kept me inspired to lose and keep it off. The weekly meetings are needed now more than ever since I've reached my goal. Taking the weight off was the easy part, keeping it off is a challenge. You can do it!

Congrats on your firdt 10lbs. That is great. WW is a good program. I had some trouble due to a lot of food allergies. so my progress is slower than most.
You can do it! All the best! :)

I found your blog from visiting Cheryl Moodys blog. I love the idea and decided to start WW (again) myself. As I told Cheryl...what I have to learn is this: WW is not a diet..it is a way of life. Now, if I can get that thru my head..I won't have to say "I'm on WW AGAIN".....
Good luck losing :)

Whooo Hoo, how cool is this. I am back on WW too. I seem to go up and down the same 18 pounds every year! Here's to sticking with it. Keep posting about you lose so it will help keep us on track!
