Hi all, So today I am going to get weighed in for the first time.. My first week was okay, not the worse thing but certainly that a that easy.. The weekend was certainly harder then the week days.. Anyway, I am so so nervous about my weigh in.. I am afraid if I didnt lose weight, how I will fee. I am so nervous that I will get so defeated once again and then lose my determination. Nothing motivates me more by positive results so if I dont have them I am going to be devesatated. I am trying to convince myself that even if its only 1 pound that is okay to keep going because maybe next week it will be more..But I know deep inside I will be crushed. The thing is I really dont feel like I lost anything.. but I am just rambling trying to be positive no matter what.. But the truth is I did it perfectly this week. I didnt cheat once. I didn't put not one thing in my mouth that was JC. I ate my snacks, my fruit, my veggies.. I was soooo good. So if I dont have a good weight loss I am afraid I will just not go and spend all that money again for the food.. agh!! whatever!!!. So now the only thing is to be brave and go and get on the scale... wish me luck... Thanks for listening..

Good luck, you'll do great! Hopefully your first week is your best week to keep you in gear. If not, kick your butt by going to the gym this week and running it out! You can do it... you already did, hopefully the scale cooperates!

Good Luck Dot13.....if you didn't eat any extra I'm sure you have lost at least 2 pounds! I have found during my 20 weeks on the program that if I follow the diet and exercise then the weight comes off. It is when the little nibbles start to slip in that I either just maintain or gain. The prepared diet works! Stay strong and have a great weigh-in!

Thanks Valerie, I actually just got back and I did lose 3.4 lbs. So all in all it is good. I of course did not think it was great because those 3 lbs were pounds that I just put on that week so I felt they would have come off anyway so I was hopeing to see more, but even so I am not complaining.. It is keeping doing another week and that is what I am glad about.. So now I have another week to look to accomplish and see what the second week brings me.. I plan on working out more this week. I worked out 3 times last week and I would like to work out at least 4 times a week. Thanks again for your support.

Dot,
Congratulations on your 3.4 lb wt loss. This is great! The exercise helps. I'm struggling to lose 1.4 lbs. to make me an even 25 lb loss (1/2 way there). I was almost there before I went on vacation at the end of March and then I put weight on during vacation (not much....only 3 lb) and it is finally gone and I'm back to that 1.4 lbs again. I weigh in this afternoon so wish me luck. I started wearing my pedometer again and with my morning workout I already had 7479 steps out of a goal of 10000 done for the day. If I exercise 4 days a week plus clean my house and do yard work during the weekend then I will lose. If I back off then I maintain or put weight on. The thrill of being over 40, lol.

This is a great program for me. I don't have enough time to cook wisely so the frozen entrees definately help me out. The food is good. The weekly check-in is definately a must for me because it motivates me to keep at it. My 18 yr old daughter basically cooks for herself and my guyfriend is suffering through with me. He likes to cook for me and I won't let him right now, lol. I only see him once during the week and on weekends so I can be strong those days but it is hard.

Good luck. Stay strong and it will work!

Congrats on the weight loss!!! I know that first few weeks WI I was nervous. But you know, the 2 weeks I did end up gaining didn't stop my momentum. I knew when I started this that there'll be sometimes when I just have a bad day, week whatever.... Come here for some motivation or a kick in the pants to get you up and moving! at least that's what I do

I wish you continued success in your weight loss

today is my first weigh in as well. The weekend was easy, weekdays are hard - can't get used to microwaving at work (never did before). Good luck!
