Weigh-in Thursday: Week 4
Oops - I forgot to post last week! I lost a pound :)
This week I lost 3, for a whopping total of 4 pounds so far! At this rate I'll reach my first goal 18.5 weeks. Seems like a long time, but it took 32 years and 7 months to gain all this weight, so I shouldn't expect it to fall off in a month, right?
I'll be content for now for little successes, like already being motivated to shop for new clothes when my fat clothes start falling off!

Weigh-in Thursday: Week 2
I actually weighed in last night since the leader I love was at a different session this week. I am up 0.2 pounds! Must have been those damn Georgetown Cupcakes Bonnie and I bought on Tuesday! I splurged, but splurged too much.
I've been doing really well tracking my points, but I went way overboard that day with the cupcakes and 2 high calorie/point meals. Plus we had 2 cookouts for the holiday weekend. I really need to decide if the 3rd deviled egg or 2nd cupcake is really worth it, or if 1 will satisfy my craving and then move on.
For the first full week I've been on the program, I feel like I've made progress in the right direction as far was watching what I'm putting in my mouth. It's all about trade-offs. If I have a big lunch, I need to make up for it at dinner. If I decide to have a Java Chip Frappuccino as an afternoon snack, maybe I compensate with a 200 calorie Lean Cuisine meal the next day for lunch.
Learning experience, for sure.
