So this morning was the moment of thruth: my first weigh in! I knew I had lost weight because I could feel it. My personal goal was to hit the 5 pound mark. Given my WW history I have always had a big loss the first week (though I'm guessing about half of that is really water weight). The receptionist who weighed me did a double take when she looked at the reading, but didn't tell me what the number was. I assumed by her reaction that it was a good one, but I almost fell over when she told me that I was down 6 pounds!!! Crazy! I lost 6 pounds my first week!
The trend is that I'll still lose a little extra the second week but not as much as the first. I'm not sure if setting my second week goal to be 4 is too high. It would be nice to have a 10 pound head start under my belt after only two weeks, that will have erased the damage I did to myself the past couple months. So this week I am shooting for 4 pounds. After that my goal will be the suggested 2 per week.

WOW!! That's amazing!! Congratulations!! The next time you go food shopping (or look in your pantry) go to the baking aisle. Pick up a 5-lb bag of sugar! You lost more than that!! That's really a lot of weight. There's nothing like a sweet victory your first week to keep you motivated.
You inspire me sista!!
Awesome job!!! Isn't it great to see the scale moving in the right direction!!!
