So, I’ve been doing weight watchers for about a week and a half now, and have lost 2.2 lbs so far. I’ve got to say, I was a little disappointed with this number, as I expected the loss to be higher in the first week or two (3-4lbs/week). However, my good friend Jessica helped me reframe the situation and reminded me that if my goal is to lose 25 lbs, 2.2 is nearly 10% of that goal. I suppose if I look at it that way, it’s not so bad. I think that if I’m going to stay motivated I’m really going to need to focus on percentage over numbers!
In any case, I’m still trucking along. I’ve slipped up a couple days by eating junkier foods for dinner, but the difference between now and then is that I eat a lot less than I did before. As a result, I simply maintain my weight rather than gain. And let’s face it, you’re not going to eat a perfectly healthy meal every single day of your life. The way I see it, if I’ve managed to eat really healthy 15/17 days, I’m doing pretty damn good.

How much do you weigh now? You don't look overweight based on the photos.
I am not significantly overweight. A healthy weight range for my height is 117-147 and lets just say I'm over that. I'm on a large frame (larger hands,feet & ribcage) and would never expect to be as low as 117, but I've been around 135-137 before and felt very comfortable there.
