YAY, 2.5 pounds gone this week. And here I was fretting all week, hopping on the scales daily and sometimes 2-3 times a day. Just "shows to go ya" that you have to be patient and wait for a whole week to be over. I know this next week won't be as grand. I always did have a big (well, this was big for me) loss on the first week after a huge stumble. Stumble? More like rolling down the mountain. Remember doing that when we were kids? You got started and couldn't stop until you got to the bottom? Thank goodness I did stop before hitting bottom. I'm even thinking that I may try to get a little more off this time. I don't know for sure, it will all depend on how long this 6.5 pounds takes and how I feel at that point. I stopped at 180 because I had become so obsessed with dieting that I wasn't a happy person anymore so we shall see how I feel when I get back down there.
And when I do get back down there I'm going to remember something I saw on Biggest Loser a couple of weeks ago when they sent everyone home for a month. When Jillian showed up at her teams homes she stressed allowing ourselves some comfort once in a while and just remember that we all have to allow it and learn to deal with it through our calorie counting and exercise. I'm going to have to find a way to allow myself the little extras without going overboard.
Have a great weekend!

Congrats on the loss. I hear what you are saying about what Jillian said. We just focus on eating right and not having our little indulgences every once in awhile. Have a great weekend.
Sounds like you are being very level-headed about this and look...2.5 pounds gone! Good going!!!

Way to go! I recently fell down too, but like you, I got up.
Thank You
Yes!! that was a good and welcome sight I bet. Wish I could say the same. I just need to keep mopping up after myself.
Awesome job, losing 2.5lbs in a week is great. Congrats, keep up the good work.

Great loss!
Keep thinking so positively, and you'll figure out how to manage it all in a way that works and leaves you free to enjoy your life as God and Little Debbie intended. :)
Well done on losing 2.5 lbs!
Great job on the loss!
I think you nailed it on the head with the allowing small indulgences. That segment with Jillian really struck me also.....it's about balance!
