Lose It! 1st Week Results!

This past week has been interesting keeping track of everything we eat and drink. We learned a lot about why we have not been able to



keep the weight off. We have learned a lot about portion sizes. We are both very motivated by this program. This is week 1:


My starting weight last Monday was 139

Tuesday I  lost 1.5 lbs   = 137.5

Wednesdy I lost lost 1  = 136.5

Thursday I didn't lose any. But I also didn't gain any. I think the reason I didn't lose any was due to putting salt on watermelon.  = 136.5

Friday I lost 1 lb    = 135.5

Saturday - no loss-o gain  = 135.5


Sunday - Amazed I did not gain weight from Sat. I remained the same  = 135.5

My total weight loss for the 1st week is 3.5 pounds. 

After all the different foods we ate yesterday and today I am very happy with that weight loss.

I have been very good at exercising when I run out or over my calories for the day.  It really makes it easy for me to stay ahead. I really love this program.


I exercised 505 minutes this past week. Hope to get more than that in this week. 

Don's starting weight on Monday was 226.5

Tuesday he lost .5 lbs   = 226.5

Wed he lost 3 lbs          = 223

Thursday he lost 1 lb   = 222

Friday he lost 2 lbs      = 220

Saturday he stayed at 220

Sunday he had gained back 2.5 lbs  = 222

Don's total weight loss for the 1st week is 4-1/2 pounds.

He is very happy with that. His weight at the end of the first week was 222.5

We decided that we would work hard through the week and have one day that we eat anything we want but still aware of the calories and recording them. Wow!!! Thank goodness we exercised as much as we did. We had calories going into Saturday left over from the other days so it really helped when we ate so bad on Saturday.

We have been spending a lot of time on the treadmill and I also have been Tae-boing. Hoping to get to the gym this week also.
