Ai Yi!

I just did my first Weight Watchers weekly weigh-in.

I knew that because I'd been sick I hadn't had any trouble keeping to my daily points six days out of seven, and even on that 'other' day I hadn't come near to exhausting the bonus 35 points we get a week.

I had been hoping for three pounds gone -- one more than the ideal of two per week.

I lost six pounds this week.

Now, this is not an entirely good thing. It's a bit too much, a bit too fast, for good health.
I should avoid such dramatic drops in the future.

But it is heartening. It works. I can do this.

I just have to work a bit on the balance between self-indulgence and asceticism.

Good for you! Kia kaha!

Is the points structure something pretty easy to explain or is it complicated?

Is it based on your starting weight, your goal weight, or something else?

Wow! That's stupendous! I hope for two pounds a week and anything more is gravy.

Keep it up!

Don't worry... even aside from sickness, the weight loss in the first week is always much bigger than subsequent weeks. I've often contemplated that, since so many diets seem to stop working after a few months, that the perfect diet would be switching diets every three months just to keep your body guessing and unused to speedy processing of the kinds of eating you do on a particular diet. :D

I've done Weight Watchers multiple times and have always lost 4+ lbs the first week or two, then petered down to 0-2 in following weeks, which is really the safe way to go.

Congrats on the loss, though! Sometimes, germs can be your friend. ;)

That is wonderful, but the health issue is a factor. WW does work as a moderator so I am confident of future progress.
