I would rather lose 1 pound and have it stay off than lose 10 pounds in the first week and have it all come right back. You are doing great Janet, don't get discouraged. My mom has tried every diet under the sun. She even did the cabbage soup thing where all she ate was cabbage soup for a whole week. She lost 5 pounds but gained it all back once she switched to regular food. She has never done WW because she doesn't have the patience or committment. What you don't realize is that not only are you dieting but you are also training your body to eat better and smaller portions. It is an entire lifestyle change but one that is not only going to make you slimmer and fitter but also more healthy and help you live longer. These are benefits you don't necessarily see when you step on that scale. We have all been friends for a short while, but we all want to have you around for a VERY long time, so please don't give up. Keep up the good work and we are all proud of you!!
