It Worked!

So yesterday was weigh-in day and I was sooo nervous as we pulled in to the doctor's office. I really didn't think I was going to have lost any weight, with the number of carbs and the sheer amount of food I've been eating on the WW program. But guess what? I did lose! And I lost more than I did on any week I was on Atkins. Let's hear it for 4.4 pounds! It worked! I'm so excited. As a result of the loss, my daily points allowance has gone down from 57 to 56. I don't think that's going to be much of an issue, since I've had a hard time most days eating enough points!

I've done a pretty good job of sticking to my points, although figuring out how to get them all in has been interesting sometimes, to say the least. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it on the blog previously, but the WW program, in addition to the daily points allowance based on your age, gender, and weight, also gives a 49-point weekly allowance to everyone. These points can be saved up for a special occasion, split evenly through the week, not used at all, or any combination of the above. I ended up using one of those points on Sunday, although I hadn't planned to use them at all. It doesn't seem to have hurt me any, though!
