I know 1.5 lbs isn't much in the long run, but I know if it keeps up like this weekly alowly the weight will come off and hopefully stay off. I really felt great about it because when I went to the dr Wednesday for my hands the weight they got for me was 2 lbs heavier than my home scale and it bummed me out. Little by little I will get to a more healthy me!

1.5 pounds is an excellent start. Dont ever make light of an accomplishment, no matter how small.

And go by what your homescale says for your weight loss. NO matter what the Docs scale says, you still LOST that 1.5.

so, hun, it's still a from me.

I know there is always a difference with dr scales and home scales, I plan to go by what my home scale says. The way I see it is when you think about it, if you lose 1lb - 1.5 lbs a consistently each week in a year I can lose at least 50lbs. I know there will be weeks I likely go up some for whatever reason (water weight b/c of monthly cylce, bad week, etc) but I think if I can keep things consistent I can actually reach the goal of losing 50lbs this year!

Congrats on the loss! 1.5 pounds is great! Keep up the pace and you will lose the 50 lbs! Stick with your same scale and you will know your losses. I have no idea if my scale is accurate, but I do know that when it shows a loss it is a loss because it is the same scale I have had for 3 years. WW says if you lose 1 to 2 pounds a week then you know you aren't losing muscle mass, but actually losing fat so that is good!

As long as you're losing weight, whether a little or a lot, you are going the right direction. I think you're doing very well ! Good job!

I agree! Any loss is still loss. It didn't get on us in large amounts at a time and it should come off the same way it got on for it to be sustainable, IMO.

Last night (1/10/12) we went out to eat. My parents had given us a gift certificate for a local Italian restaraunt so that is what we did for supper. I tried to think about my points values when I ordered my food. I think I did pretty well for my first time out to eat on WW.

ETA: I've actually been staying within my points range lately.

Looking good . Eating out is hard, but sounds like you did great. I'm still doing good just haven't posted my food lately.
