I plateau'd in my first week!

I'm sure that's not usual! So I've joined Weight Watchers and am now looking at all food in terms of how many points it has, all exercise in terms of how many points it earns and every day in terms of how many days to go until weigh in day.

Week 1 - joined, felt much younger than everyone although I wasn't - something to do with the slightly mumsie clothes that they all seemed to be wearing. Paid for the full 3 months up front to make sure that I gave it a good chance. Start Weight (in very heavy clothes) 223.4 pounds. Target is to wiegh 200 pounds by Christmas

Week 2 - couldn't remember if I wore a bra or not the previous week for weigh in, realised that I'd have to wear the same clothes every week at weigh in time in order to get a true comparison. Wore bra. Weight (in same clothes give or take the bra) 223.8 pounds. So there you have it - massive disappointment, in fact I wasn't really prepared for how upset I was going to feel. My period had started that morning which was probably the reason for the gain, but I was gutted!

Week 3 - no bra panic, knew that I had to wear it and have a special place now for my weigh in clothes! Weight 220 pounds. An incredible 3.8 pounds in a week!! Felt great and inspired.


Tomorrow is the next weigh in date - I've been sticking to the points and have hardly used any of the flex points that you can use if you go over your daily allowance, so i'm quietly optimisitic. Without my menstrual cycle to cock things up it should be somewhere between 1 and 2 pounds..But we'll see dear readers!
