Week 1 Weigh-in: Drum roll please…

7.4 pounds.

I was a little nervous going in, and I’d resigned myself to thinking that ANY amount would be a success for me at this point. But, I’m pleasantly surprised at this number. It’s tempting to say, “Ok, 7.4 pounds, times 8 weeks…hey in about two months, I’ll be…”

But it doesn’t work that way, I know. I’ve done this enough times to know that, for me anyway, the first pounds come off the quickest. But I am definitely encouraged by this first week.

Food find: I picked up a medium-sized container of the brocolli salad at Wal-Mart today for lunch. Good stuff with raisins and sunflower seeds, and about 5 points for WW. Good dressing, but if you’re really watching your sugar intake, it might not be for you. The salad and a banana pretty much took care of me until dinner time.

Note for FatBloggers: I created a category called “Weigh-in”. Feel free to use that whenever you’re posting your weekly numbers. The other times, it defaults to the category of “Weight loss”.
