I've officially completed one week on the "new" PointsPlus WW program. It went okay. I feel like I need to complain about/explain something.
Last week I weighed myself at home before I went to weigh in for the first time. The number on my home scale was exactly the same as what the scale at WW said. Wonderful! This way, I would be able to check my progress part way through the week and see how I was doing. On Wednesday, I weighed myself, at home, and the scale said that I was down 5.75 lbs. GREAT! I weighed myself tonight right before I went to the meeting, and it said I was down 6.5 lbs. I was SO excited!
I get to the meeting, and they weigh me in. Results: -1.6 lbs. WHAT!? I made them re-weigh me. And then weigh me on the other scale (there's two lines to get weighed in). Both times and both scales said I was only down 1.6 lbs. How could this be!?
Then the instructor told me that this is why they don't encourage at-home weighing during the week, because all scales are different.
Now tell me...how can last week's weights be EXACTLY the same, and this time, they're off by FIVE POUNDS!?
Enough complaining for now. Here's the update:
Don't be discouraged! You're right on track for weight loss that can be kept off. It's not as dramatic as 6 pounds, but there will be a better chance of it staying gone if you take it slow. Great job, dearie:-)!
