I'm Bummed - My Weigh In Was Tonight :o(

Hi ladies,

Well I got weighed after my first week on WW. I lost 2.8lbs. I'm not thrilled. I thought it would've been more. But, it did not make me want to go home and pig out. I stayed strong.

Re: I'm Bummed - My Weigh In Was Tonight :o(

Thanks, but all day reading everyone else's posts that they lost over 3lbs, I was psyched! Then, my big 2.8 was written and I was like

I am glad I lost and I was able to eat Chinese, Subway & pasta last week... not too bad I guess!

Thanks again Miro!

Oct--you should be proud of yourself--how much you lose really depends on how much you need to lose-- In my case I hope to lose 60 lbs so I have plenty to shed pretty quickly--
dont get down you lost not gained
Good luck
Laura

slow steady progress those are the ones that stay. Don't feel bad you will get to your goal. Just don't quit.

Oct,

2.8 pounds is amazing. It is really hard work to lose any amount of weight and you did great!

Don't be down, that's a GREAT start! The beauty of WW is that it's a slow, but HEALTHY weight loss. You're a 'loser' ~ BE PROUD!

I agree, you want to lose the weight slowly, not too fast. Hang in there, and be patient.

Im the same way I want to see results quickly.

Octbride03 -

Congrats!!!! There's no reason to be That's an awesome loss!!!! Everybody's weight loss is going to be different - and honestly, the slower you do it, the better of you'll be.

I lost over 4 because I got my period the day after I weighed in, so you know I was retaining a whole lot of water.

Keep strong - you're doing awesome!!!!!!!

OctBirde03 - that's great~ that is nothing to be dissapointed with at all!!!!!
Don't be so hard on yourself.....
At my first week - I gained 2 oz

This is how WW works, it's comes off slow, but the key is it stays off....

You should be very proud of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bummmed? You did awesome.. if you keep this up you'll be a skinny minny in NO TIME. Since 1 lb a week is around the norm, you are doing well..! CONGRATS

Re: I'm Bummed - My Weigh In Was Tonight :o(

Lauren that is wonderful. Keep up the good work. Dont be bummed, you lost some weight. Even if you lost an ounce, you still lost. Its a wonderful feeling. Keep up the good eating habits and stick to it.

Re: I'm Bummed - My Weigh In Was Tonight :o(

Lauren, Lauren, Lauren! YOU LOST!!!!! Read that word again! 'LOST'!

2.8 is pretty siginificant. This week try to shave at least 1 point off a day from what you are eating and see if that helps. 2.8 is abolutely normal and expected for the first week. Wait til you only lose .4 ozs. But that's still .4 you LOST!

Re: I'm Bummed - My Weigh In Was Tonight :o(

Oct, 2.8 is great, you should be psyched. I lost 2.2 last week, and told everyone I know Any weight loss is a good weight loss, be proud!

Re: I'm Bummed - My Weigh In Was Tonight :o(

Thank you so much ladies! You really are a great bunch of people! I feel a little better about it today. I dont know, I just felt like I was STARVING last week! But who knows! I guess I should be happy I lost.

Thank you again!

BTW - I don't really work out. I have to get my butt to the gym. I appointed my brother to be my personal trainer! I teach 7 year olds tap, ballet & jazz on Saturdays, so I make them do jumping jacks and run around the room (I do it with them) so I use that time to get a little bit of cardio in for the time being!

Thrilled, how are you feeling?

Re: I'm Bummed - My Weigh In Was Tonight :o(

LOST is the key work you could have gained 2.8 Be proud of yourself, you are on your way

Re: I'm Bummed - My Weigh In Was Tonight :o(

Jus wait until 10 wks from now and that 2.8 is added to all of your subsequent losses - even at 1 lb a week from here on out, you've still lost almost 13 lbs in 10 weeks! Think how great you're gonna look and feel then!
