What if Idon't lose?!!!

[Cathy]

Oh God, San and I go to get weighed at about 4:30. I don't feel any different this week and my wedding ring feels tighter! I've only had one wee in work today, despite drinking loads. I wonder if it's possible to GAIN weight on LT? I have not cheated once all week. God, I'm flapping now, I really want to lose all this awful weight. Sorry for the rant, just having a panic moment!

Hey - i actually think when you start LT you whole focus of your mind switches to loosing fat - and you become so much more aware of how fat you are! Before you start LT your mind is avoiding at all costs how fat you are cos you dont want to admit it really!

I know I look at the fat on me with more disgust now than I did when I was 2.5 stones heavier! I think it is all just in your head and your so focused on loosing fat - you are noticing more fat on you!

When you step on the scales you WILL have lost - and I think it really takes a good few weeks before you really start to notice REAL posiitve changes in your body...

Well please note im only speaking from my own personal experience - many people may beg to differ with me and have totally different mental and physcial experiences at the start of their LT journey...

Im sure ur weigh in will be fine babe!

I shouln't have really doubted, I suppose, but it was only weigh-in number 2 and still new to this.
What a relief.
I bought the dreaded peanut flapjacks tonight and hey, they're not so bad at all, as I was eating it, I was thinking about all the nice clothes I'll be able to wear, which took my mind off it.
Big big thanks y'all. xxxx

Congratulations to the both of you!

I was in a bit of a flap on my first WI as well. I tried weighing myself on my own scales and it told me that I hadn't even lost an ounce! I was panicking so much on the morning of it that I was close to tears.
I guess what we all need to do is remain positive- a loss is a loss regardless of the amount and it will always be lost quicker than doing 'conventional' things.

All the best for the following week xx

Well done Cathy, a great loss this week and over the 2 weeks. You have also moved down a BMI category - from morbidly obese to just super obese (no, I don't know what's super about it but that's what they call it!) so you deserve a treat, a manicure or new shoes (or both if you want!)

Have a great weekend.
