Three point Two

That’s my weight loss for this week.  I’m very happy, to say the least. 

From past experience, I know that I tend to lose nicely in the beginning.  I definitely don’t want to lose three pounds every week, which would be unhealthy.  But, this first week a lot is water weight, and just going from eating whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, to more sensible and controlled eating.  My goal is one pound a week, but two would be great, I won’t lie.  I’ve also noticed in the past that my period makes a difference in my appetite and my weight loss (appetite is out of control, weight loss is nonexistant).  It’s probably better for me to look for an average of 5-8 pounds every four weeks, rather than a weekly rate.  I’ll keep that in mind and see what happens. 

I checked out the Weight Watchers website last night.  They have a new program, Momentum, which I didn’t find to be all that different than what they had before.  It kind of combines their Flex and Core Plans.  I’m still thinking about ditching the membership.  I know exactly what to do, I’ve done it before.  I don’t get anything out of the forums, and I could print off the food lists and stuff.  I’m going to look into sparkpeople.com (I think that’s what it is), as I’ve heard it’s useful, and it’s free.  Bonus!
