Success in week 5!

Amyliz · Post by **Amyliz** » Mon May 05, 2008 3:43 pm

hey guys,
my first few weeks i didn't see a difference. my start weight was 157.
i didn't weigh myself until a week ago, and i was so excited to see 155!
then on saturday i weighed 151.5!!!! and I can see the 5lbs! I'm aware that scales are not always reliable, but the boost i got from seeing that number is amazing!

based on the posts i've read this month, FAQ's:
- started No-S march 30th, 2008
-Yes, i exercise. Goal is 3 times a week, mix of cardio and weights.
-Yes, i ate all sorts of good stuff on S-days (snacks, sweets etc)
-Yes, I ate solid meals - but no diet foods (ie. i DID have cheese and mayo on my sandwich)

Hopefully this encourages some newer people! I don't anticipate losing 5lbs every month, but I know i can eat this way for life, and that is the best news of all.

Congratulations, Amyliz! That *does* encourage me, as I've only been doing this for just over 2 weeks now, and I was really discouraged when I jumped on the scale too quickly (end of week one) and saw no change.

I'm now part of the "NoS = No Scale" club, and won't be weighing myself again until June. But, I'm so glad to hear that this DOES work... thank you for the encouragement!

(it helps that we started at basically the same weight, too) LOL

Hey Jaymiz,
i'm still in the no scale club too, I'm only weighing in on a monthly basis. it was tempting to get on the scale the day after i saw the 151.5, but then i thought 'if it happens to go up a pound or two, I'll be so disappointed'
I'm staying away until June 1st.

good luck!
