First WI since officially starting the program
 

I am going in for my first WI today since officially starting the program on Saturday. I am really nervous!!! I did really good over the weekend, with it being Valentine's day and all. The only thing I went OP for was to have a couple of drinks with my hubby to celebrate while we were out. I had 2 low carb beers. Do you all think that will affect me that much? I drank extra water afterwards, hoping that might help :)

I don't know about the beer - but thats going to be so hard for me since I am used to my margaritas!

Good luck on your WI today, I'm sure you'll do great! Keep us updated :)

I'm not a big drinker, but I do like to have a beer or two on the weekends. So far, it hasn't been too hard, and I probably could have passed it up this weekend, but it was a special occasion....and I tried to be smart about what I chose...so we will see :)

I will let you know how it goes! Thanks!

it might not effect your number on the scale much, but what they say about drinking is that it can take up to 7 days to get your body back into ketosis, fat-burning mode.

yeah....they have told me the same thing. hopefully not...but i will just have to work out harder and drink extra water for the next few days :) thanks for the advise :)

SOOO....I just got back from my WI, and I lost 3 lbs!!!!!! Yea, I am so excited!!! I was so nervous :)

Congrats!! I can totally understand the nervous part, every time I go to weigh in I fret about what I ate that week and if it was the best choice. But, you just have to take it week by week! If you are going to the Bentonville center, I may see you there!

Great job! That must feel awesome!

Congrats.!!

I drank beer this weekend for the first time since starting OP (actually it was the first time I went OP at all) and I haven't lost any weight this week.

thank you everybody!! it is a great feeling! i am loving this program. i feel like i have finally found a program i like and that i can stick to :) we can all do this!!

this weekend was the first time i have drank beer in a while too....i was shocked i lost, especially 3 lbs. keep your head up....don't let it get you down. we are all going to have off weeks....and i know that is when its easiest to throw in the towel....but with all the support on this forum.....we can all do it together!!!:hug:

Oh, I'm not upset at all - I knew this was a possibility if I did allow myself to drink! It was the first time I ever did anything that wasn't OP.

Congrats kimmermarie19! I have my first WI today as well but it's only been since Friday, so I will go back on Saturday for a "full week" worth.

We're on the same track it seems! About the same goal weight and about the same start weight! Are you having a hard time eating all the food they want you to eat at each meal too? Good luck!

thanks GoalAug!!! we are similar on our start and goal :) my first WI was since friday too...thats why i was shocked to have such a good number :)

good luck! keep us updated!

Hey kimmermarie19, I had my first weigh in yesterday (started friday, weigh in wednesday) and was down 2.5 lbs! I can't wait to go back on Saturday to see if I can up that a bit.

Looks like we're on the same track

I went to WI on Tuesday, I've lost 5 lbs since preconditioning which started 1/30 and starting the beige menu on 2/9. I'm really bummed, that I havent lost more :(

it may not have been as much as you had hoped for...but 5 lbs is still FIVE lbs!! keep your head up and don't give up. for every 5 lbs i lose...i think of it as a 5 lb bag of potatoes that i am not having to carry around anymore :sunny:

Haha, a 5 lb bag of potatoes is a good image! I went to WI today, and I'm down another 1.5 since Tuesday!!! I think I just got off on a rough start, and it was hard to get in the swing of things. Now that I'm down 1.5 in 4 days tho, its got me motivated to keep goin!
