Trying to stay off the scale for a whole week and see what happens. Eating well and walking everyday. Time to get in the gym and do strength training. I really need all this work to start paying off or I will not keep it up very long.

Muscles will increase your metabolism - it really pays off. As for weighing once a week - good idea. I've tracked my weight everyday for more than 3 years: the upside is my downsize, the downside is that I can see where I strayed.

Really? Everyday? Didn't that drive you crazy seeing when you went up for no apparent reason?

Here's the graph:

My increases are always the result of choices, and those choices are always food or fitness related. For example, I opted for pale ale this weekend instead of my usual light beer - and shot up 3 lbs (water weight, but still...)

If you havn't already, do your measurements. I did not do that at first and I kept getting discouraged because the scale wasn't budging but I could tell a big difference in my clothes. I wish I would have measured from the beginning to see the diference there.

In order to gel to goal, you need to have patience, diligence and commitment. You have already lost one pound which is great. But you need to make a commitment to yourself to be in this for the long haul no matter what. It can take a long time to see results from diet and exercise. As you go along, you will see changes in your body and your health. But those changes aren't always as fast as we would like. You are off to a great start though.

Which measurements did you take?

I actually started Atkins on 4/17/10. I just updated my historical weight. My frustration was that I dropped 10 pounds relatively quickly and then it just stopped. It made me so mad because of course I wanted the weight to just keep going down and it wouldn't budge and then it went up. It has been really hard to stay motivated like this.
This website is a godsend. It may be a little rough to navigate but I have never encountered so many strangers willing to be so helpful and offer some really good advice. I read other people's posts just to see the responses. I look forward to seeing (or reading) the motivation that some of you have. It really keeps me focused.
