Just got weighed last night at WW

I just got weighed last night at WW after starting it last week and I have lost 4.4 pounds. I don't know where I lost it though it because I don't have big arms or legs. My problem is my stomach! So I don't if I should be happy or not....

oh wow bedda26...that is excellent!! congratulations!! See, everything you ate the other day didn't affect you at all!!

you know..i was talking to my friend last nite who is also doing WW and she said that if you stick to your 20 or whatever your points are every day, you may hit some kind of a plateau where you dont lose weight because your body is used to getting only a certain amt of calories..so if you cheat a little every now and then might not be such a bad thing...

Congratulations Bedda. Most of that weight you lost is Water Weight. That is why you don't notice it. Usually the first 10 pounds are water weight. Keep up the great work

Water Weight? So that means that technically i didn't loose any body fat?

You may of lost inches. When you are on a diet, you lose inches and when you get weighed, you dont even notice that. Don't worry, I am sure if you keep up with WW you will lose the weight. I lost 15lbs on WW in 3 months.

But now I am on Atkins because WW stopped working for me. It happens to some people

Congrats!

As for the weight loss plateau that may come later. If that happens you should play around with your points - total your points for the week and spread them over the 7 days. Maybe one day you eat 17 points, but the next you eat 25, this will shake up your metabolism a bit. You can check it out on the internet, it's called the Wendie plan. It's past WWs that had to change up the diet
