Weightwatchers. #2

[benitle]

My first few days with Weight Watchers are over, my first week nearly done, and so far, things have been great. I've been losing weight and never once have I been hungry (well, I have but than I was able to EAT!) My first impression of the program is really positive and it doesn't feel like dieting at all

I'm so happy to hear you're finding the program doable and even fun. That's an awesome dress, btw! You'll be in it before you know it. I have a pair of Victoria's Secret jeans in the smallest size I've worn since my 20's as my goal outfit. After this round of WW which I've been on for over year now, I'm only two sizes away from those little jeans. :D I'm in no hurry, but the success is wonderful.

Oh, the tape measure is my best friend. I go up and down in water weight like crazy so the scale is often misleading for me (personally--most people find it totally reliable). The measurements, though--that's the truth on my body. AND the way my close fit (or start to be too lose, which is always better--lol).

I totally understand how weird it feels to be planning your meals ahead all the time, but I promise--after you do it for a bit, it will become second nature. You'll know to conserve points for a day or two if you have a big food celebration coming--cuz you do NOT want to be counting points at Xmas dinner or something like that. But by then, you'll also have a sort of internal mental portion control device that you won't even notice you're doing. WW is a total lifestyle change, NOT a diet. And it sounds like it's going to work for you!

I wish you continued success. Can't wait to see YOU in that great little dress!

YAY! Go you and your jeans! :D This dress will totally be mine and of course, I'll show the results. Though, I also have another dress that I really want to fit into again. I bought it in 2003 when I was at my thinnest in my adult life, I suppose. I wore it exactly once: in the dressing room. It's such a beautiful summer dress and I can't wait to fit in again.

I finally got myself a tape measure and started seeing the first changes. I got frustrated last week when the weight I got from my scale in the morning was a 3 lbs difference to what I had in the evening at my official meeting weigh in. Like you, I don't find the weight the most reliable source to determine success because of the water or how you become heavier when you build muscle and work out. But the tape won't lie indeed. And the way I'm also starting to see my clothes fit better. That's pretty awesome.

Thank you for your lovely words. Keep me updated on your progress too, okay? :D
