Hello to all..
My name is Karen... I just joined WW 2 weeks tomorrow, for my first weight in I did not lose anything... I felt soo upset and mad LOL i just wanted to cry... the lady told me I may have been retaining water! I think I felt more upset for the fact that my hubby lost 7lbs and I didn't!!! I am feeling worried right now that maybe I didn't not lose anything once again.. but I wont know untill tomorrow regardless of what happens I will stick to WW!!! my weight right now is 245lbs and I would like to get to 175lbs.. I remember the days when I was that weight i had just started dating my now husband... This year I made a promise to my self to lose weight... to tell you all the truth I have never felt better!!! eating healty stuff I dont miss the fast food as much as I thought I would LOL... I want to also share that for soooo MANY years when I would eat a meal I would run to the toilet an purge... its hard for me to talk about it!! but since I been on WW I haven't soo I am very happy about that its a big step for me 2 wholes weeks with out it ... I think thats why I feel soo good about my self knowing that I stoped that and that I am eating good... I am in control of my life..
Thanks from Karen

Karen, hang in there. This past weigh-in, even though I had been rigorously on program, I was up .6 lbs and you would have thought it was the end of the world from how I felt and acted over it. I have faith, though, that it will get better, I was just retaining water or had a bad day or built muscle, and that is what I am going to believe so I can keep going! Just tell yourself you are going to stay positive and keep doing what you have been doing because as you said yourself, you feel great and know you are eating in a healthy way.

On the other hand, though, I am by no means a professional health care person, but I do feel concerned about what you said in regard to your history of purging. Willpower is great, and trying not to do it can get you a long way, but I would recommend that you maybe consider seeing a therapist or talk to your doctor about that issue.

Keep going!
