Hi all
Has anyone else been through a range of emotions on their first weigh in?
Today I woke up feeling nervous, then got excited because I know I've been 100% all week, then worried about how I'd feel if I didn't lose. And that was all before I left the house!
Went to WI and lost 1.5 lbs. Wanted to cry. I am soooo disappointed. My food diary is text book. I know this for 2 reasons: 1) I followed the 7 day plan in the magazine and 2) I still checked every meal against my SW books.
The two ladies who joined the same day as me each lost 5 pounds! I have also done 3 x 30 mins jogging and 1 x gym session with a personal trainer.
Is my expectation just so wrong? I seem to have made such a radical change to my lifestyle: cut out booze, all meals made from scratch using fresh ingredients, ruthless about superfrees, syns within my allowance (ranged 4 to 9 syns each day).
Don't know how I made it through class as I really wanted to have a tantrum. Anyhow, got to work and decided to 'invest' 6 syns in a curly wurly in anger then to crack on with the food optimising and hope for a better loss next week.
[As it happens, shop didn't have a curly wurly so I had 28g of liquorice cuttings weighed out carefully for 4.5 syns. No comparison, I know. In a strange way though it put me back in control because I didn't thow it all away because I didn't lose as much as I'd hoped and now I've had a mini blow-out but haven't ruined my plan!]
OH says I should stay focused on the notion that I'm now on my way and a loss is a loss. I get it. Would have just preferred a few more pounds to get me off to a good start.
Anyone else had this experience and still go on to hit target? Or am I just a freak?
