Im not happy..

I went to my first weigh in this week, and I only lost 1.3 lbs! (Mom lost 3.5). I was good all week, did not cheat, and I hope it was because I was sitting in a classroom all week. I better lose a little faster that 1 lb a week! I dont have that much more time before I order my dress. Is it going to get better?

Re: Im not happy..

in weigh watchers they only want you losing upto 2 lbs a week.. sometimes people lose more in the first couple of weeks......

drink LOTS OF WATER

Re: Im not happy..

I think also that I am comparing my experience with WW this time compared to last time I did it, and I have to stop doing that. I have been drinking tons of water as compared to last time, so maybe I lost 1.3 lbs of true weight as compared to 2.5 of combined water/fat weight like I was losing before?
I am not giving up, I just have to stick with it!

Think of it this way. At least you lost and did not gain! That is 5 sticks of butter!!!

Re: Im not happy..

1.3 is great. Its a lOSS!!!

I would get so upset each week because I would loose between 1 - 2 pounds and FI would loose between 3 - 5 pounds.

But now I look at it this way, its a loss. if i lost .1 hey its a loss.

Eat lots of fruit and drink lots and lots of water. Try and get some exercise in. If you take the train maybe get off one stop earlier and walk if that is possible. If you take the bus get off a stop earlier and walk.

Walking is a definate good exercise.

Dont worry before you know it the pounds will just melt away

Re: Im not happy..

1.3 is a good loss. Don't get frustrated, be proud that you did good all week and that you are become a healthier fitter you! Try not to focus to much on numbers, but on how your clothes fit and how you feel!!! I bet you have more energy??

Congratulations on 1.3 good job!!!

Re: Im not happy..

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I really do need to start walking or something. I guess I just fall into the trap that many do that we want the weight off yesterday. Lets see what happens at weigh in next week..
