One week down!

17 Replies

Well that's first week done.lost 3 pounds.I'm happy with that considering I had 2 days out where healthy eating was not on the menu! Even though I know slow and steady is the way to go in still have conflict in my head .I've given up so many times if I haven't lost at least double that in first week.normally I'd be saying it's not worth it and give up.well not anymore!!!! ..........Pamela

That's a pretty impressive loss and I'd be happy with that!

Slow and sure is the way to go and being able to eat out and enjoy social occasions has to be a part of the plan so that you can maintain your goal weight once you are there.

Any loss, however small, is a step closer to your goal. If I look back at my weight losses when I started, I lost 2.75lbs the first week and it took a total of three months to lose my first stone.

It took me a year and 5 months (130 weeks) to lose 4 and a half stone or 63lbs, so when you work it out that is on average under half a pound a week.... clearly some weeks I lost more, sometimes less and sometimes I gained or stayed the same!

Looking back, I'm pleased it took that long. It then took me another 18 months to "learn" how to maintain - I gained back almost 2 stone, but thankfully that has now gone and I've been pretty well maintaining for the past 6 months. Pretty confident I now know what to do, and won't let the weight creep back on.

Pamela that is fab. The difference this time is that it is going to be a change of lifestyle and not a diet. You can do this.
