Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / December 2006Happy Holidays!
Hey folks - just popping in to say hi and wish everyone a happy holiday season. I've been thinking about the folks here and I hope everyone is doing well. I'm not doing WW these days. I just had some major surgery and the doctor said no restrictive eating. I haven't been using it as an excuse to go hog wild. I'm simply not measuring, counting, or logging things. I don't have much appetite so I'm not really worried about my weight. I feel a million times better than I did pre-op. It will be a few more weeks till I can do anything besides walking and 3 months before I can go back to weightlifting and volleyball. We started our own WW like group at work. There is only 1 leader in our whole area and many of us don't like the way she does things, including me. After comparing notes as meeting drop-outs, we decided to have our own weekly meeting to discuss and share issues and provide support. When it's ok for me to go back on plan I'll start counting stuff again. Have a great holiday!  Signaturethe volleyballchick I wondered where you were...I'm glad your on the mend...Treat yourself as needed and things will return to normal...I wish you as well as everyone here the happiest and healthiest of holidays...GG > Hey folks - just popping in to say hi and wish everyone a happy holiday > season.

I hope you continue to feel better. Yay for you to have a WW type group at work. I've been unhappy with my leader because she doesn't cook and spends too much time talking about Starbucks drinks and fast food. I decided to run off my favorite recipe for the chicken with saffron rice and made copies for everyone at the meeting. It was interesting how the meeting discussion changed.

Yep, we do a little bit of recipe trading and some lunch ideas and new, tasty product sampling. We've limited the meeting time to 30 min or less and once I'm back from surgery we're thinking of combining our meeting with a little yoga workout. Our local meetings were mostly spent talking about how to make treats and junk food that were low in points and how to eat the most food for your points. That and the fact that in spite of numerous requests, the leader insisted that people publicly "celebrate" losses. Personally I didn't think it was anyone's business if I lost or gained unless *I* wanted to discuss it. People, including the leader didn't get why I didn't care for gold stars and why I didn't want to brag every week with all the details of my losses. I'm of the belief that people find support in different forms. I always loved it when we had a sub because I got to see some great styles and it gave me faith in the program.

I'm sorry you had to be pushed around like that. I strongly encourage "bragging" about one's success, both for the "bragger" and for the group. This being said I would never put anyone in a position they don't want to be in. It's just not fair, and not helpfull. I always tell my members that they are stuck with a very extroverted leader, that doesn't mean they have to be the same way... I hate it when people try to force others into their mold..

I like the celebrating but I also like that our leader doesn't push it, if you don't want to share you don't have to, and our celebrating also covers NSV events and my favorite "a star for I showed up don't push it", Lee > Yep, we do a little bit of recipe trading and some lunch ideas and new, > tasty product sampling.
