Today is week 3 of my diet. It's also weigh in day. I'm not hoping for leaps and bounds, but a baby step would be nice. But, when I stepped on the scale this morning, I didn't lose a single pound. I guess I should be glad I didn't gain, right? Well, I re-weighed about an hour later just to be sure the scale wasn't wrong the first time...BIG MISTAKE. Now, it says I gained .5 lbs since the first time even though I hadn't eaten or drank anything. :cry:


Guess I'll have to be a little more strict this week! :yuck:
 
Good luck! I am starting another DETOX diet today until the end of the month! Last month I was horrible with my eating out ALOT so I want to take maybe 5lbs off by then!

Keep up the hard work, YOU CAN DO IT!
 
I've been very happy with Weight Watchers. I'm not posting big numbers, but have lost 10 pounds in 5 weeks. I've lost 2 pounds consistently each week.

I was probably the biggest skeptic of Weight Watchers. A girlfriend convinced me to give it a try with her. I reluctantly did it and am so glad I did!! It basically takes what you already know to do and puts it in a manageable program for you. If you are a person that likes to write a "to do" list so you can check off everything this would work great for you.

They have it where you can use E-Tools online, but I found I was eating more points or not using them wisely that way. I stay in better control when I write down what I eat or add in my Activity points myself.

If you want more info I will try to help you out. It is worth a look at. I know how frustrating it can be when you are working on it all by yourself.
 
Oh...your weight can fluctuate as much as 3 pounds in one day!! So don't freak out about that! Pick one day week as your weigh-in day and stay off that darn scale in between so you don't get depressed! ;)
