Not my best effort, I'll admit. But I did make some changes, which included a whole lot of exercise, which I loved, and feeling hunger much more than I'm used to. And also I stopped beating myself up when I made a bad choice. Each moment is new and a chance to make a good choice.

No gain, or loss. I am happy with that, better luck next week.

This was a terrible week emotionally and I usually eat when I'm stressed out. I did eat a little too much but I still lost weight.

Accountability to Tales From The Scales has helped me this week, logging on to your website and seeing all the others that are trying too! Lost 4 lbs since Fri am and am very happy.

1 1/2 lbs for me. It's a start!
Posted by: Promise | May 15, 2007 at 05:47 AM
Yeah! I did not think I would do this well, but I confess it made a bit of a difference knowing someone else was going to be seeing the numbers....LOL

Not too good this week in the pounds department for me. But, I lost inches, so I know my work paid off.

An "OK" week. The accountability has been good!
Posted by: Mommy | May 15, 2007 at 07:02 AM
-2 pounds - not much farther now!!!!
Posted by: kim | May 15, 2007 at 07:04 AM
Not a bad first week - at least for me. I get discouraged sometimes because I have a husband and other friends on diets that allow them to drop 5+ pounds a week and while I want those kinds of results, I think the plan I am on is better for me. I managed to survive the week emotionally and still lose 2 pounds. Personally that is a win for me!
Posted by: Kim | May 15, 2007 at 07:27 AM
I was so excited when I got on the scales this morning and had lost 3 pounds! My goal is to lose 30, but I'm going to take it slow. I want permanent changes and that doesn't happen quick.
I have enjoyed reading the encouraging articles. Thank you so much for this!

Ok I had a totally AWESOME week! The accountability here has helped plus I started Weight Watchers again and started working out at Curves again! So here are my results after the first week :-)
Starting weight 292
Today's Weight 282.5
I lost 9.5 lbs! Doing the Happy Dance :-)
And I just wanted to say good job to all the other ladies out there!

The accountability has been a really good thing for me too. I lost three pounds this week using careful portion control and careful food choices, even over Mother's Day. :-) This week I want to add in more exercise as I kind of slacked on that last week.
Posted by: Rachelle | May 15, 2007 at 08:26 AM
I'm down by 1.5 lbs...which is normal for me. I have had a steady 2lbs a week lost in the past 2 months.
Posted by: GlassAngel | May 15, 2007 at 08:37 AM
This week seemed great. I lost 4 lbs and feel like what I did this week in terms of eating and excercise is manageable. The accountability really helped me. Thanks.

Good job, everyone! I'm down 8 this week. It was really hard, but worth it.
Posted by: Homeschool Mama | May 15, 2007 at 08:40 AM

Posted by: Michele | May 15, 2007 at 08:43 AM
Yahooo!!!!!!! I'm back, baby.

Yahooo!!!!!!! I'm back, baby.
Tishia - you rock!

Well, like many, I've got a perfectly static weight, but I exercised differently this week, which helped me to actually feel some real effect! Next week, I can't wait to post a loss.
Posted by: Laura | May 15, 2007 at 09:02 AM
