Ok here are my first WI results......drum roll please..............-9 pounds, 2.25 inches off my chest and 2.5 inches off my waist!!! Hips, arms and thighs didn't budge! Oh well I am feeling more motivated and feeling great!! Thanks everybody!! You ALL ROCK!!!!
I have my 3rd weigh in tomorrow and I am really scared to see the results. I lost 10 lbs and a total of 10 inches after 2 weeks but this past week has been very hard. My 4 yr old has the flu and sinus/ear infection and my 8 month old has RSV. Needless to say, I have not eating all the products and not the right amount of other foods but I NEVER cheated. Hopefully I atleast lose 1 lb and didn't gain......
Pretty excited to see the scale continuing to move down. 4 lbs to goal!!! Very exciting after being stalled out for a number of weeks. Looking forward to hitting Phase III and IV and maintaining for a bit before I decide if I want to take off some more or not.
Ok I tooo had the what do I do?? Where do I buy clothes now..oh my goodness...its awful and you don't know what panties to buy anymore...
so I was even on a stupid panty search...but yesterday I went to old reliable
JC Penney's....The sales were amazing..I bought this great pair of dress pants..They are Modern Dress Pants..and I got the one Tagged Curvy...
and the Modern also has a little flair at the bottom..they look great and fit amazing..
so they were loaded with dress clothes and all on sale..
Ok then I bought- a blouse- 6 pair of panties-two night gowns-2 pairs of shoes(even my feet lost weight) and another pair of pants...
My husband this morning told me I looked like a model...yes he got one heck of a kiss...: dizzy:
My feet too! I went down a 1/2 size in shoes. Crazy!
I'm in the market for new PJs too. I'm just not happy with my "one size fits all" PJs anymore. LOL

What an awesome accomplishment! Last Wednesday, I was 10 pounds to goal; curious to see what tomorrow will bring. My initial goal was 130 (using the BMI calculator only), but I since upped it to 145. No one believes me when I tell them that I weight 155 right now - I have muscular thighs and calves - so I feel comfortable with losing only 10 more pounds. Or do I? Is that a cop-out? I need to research some more on what a good weight is for my height and body type.

AWESOME! No, it's not a cop-out. You need to do a muscle/body fat analysis (doesn't your clinic have one? If not, we do here in BR, and most gyms have them and do them during a 7-day trial, haha), or more importantly, a hip-to-waist ratio analysis. Those are more reliable indicators of overall health than BMI. You need to find a weight where you're comfortable and feel you can maintain. Let us know how tomorrow goes; I'm so excited for you!
Good evening all... Been kind of a LONG day... Long day at work at least.. Why is it that work is the one place I want to cheat??? I caught myself eyeing a Hershey's w/ Almonds bar in the vending machine in our break room.. I wasn't craving it, just thought it would be nice to have some real chocolate.. The last week at work has been **** to say the least, but I have yet to cheat. Just really wish I could get past this hump and be happy with the progress I've made this far.. Only 57 more lbs to goal!!!

I don't think my clinic does this. I've only been weighed on a scale and measured with a tape measure. I need to google all that. Thanks, Jolie!
Thanks so much!!!! It is so encouraging to jump on here and see so many others in my boat and struggling. This forum has been the most helpful thing in my life!!!!! I can't express my gratitude enought to everyone here!! I am thinking I can do this now!!!!
I am a little disappointed after WI #3 today. I only lost 1.9lbs and 1 inch I have been following the instructions very closely and this week just didn't show the results that I was hoping for. My coach said that weeks 3-5 are usually not as big of a drop because your body almost goes into a freak out mode and then takes another huge drop. Has anyone else experienced this?
Anyways, I guess that tomorrow is a new day and the start of a new week. Hopefully it will go better!
Hips, arms and thighs didn't budge!

<~~~~~ That's for you!
