Welcome to weight loss Wednesday. I am focusing my energy on healthy weight loss, fitness and nutrition. My first weigh-in since completing the cleanse was a bust. The scale said I lost 0.6 pounds in two weeks. Usually, I can lose a pound a week and I expected to lose more considering the restrictive cleanse I had participated in. Thankfully, my clothes fit better and I am wearing pants that did not fit in January. The scale can't be trusted any longer. I would like to continue weekly weigh-ins to keep track of progress and ensure I'm heading in the correct direction. I will not trust the scale any longer though.
This weeks lunches was a jar of salad with chicken from the deli counter sliced thickly, spinach, artichokes, and low fat Caesar dressing. I paired that with fat free yogurt and snacks of vegetables, fruit, and granola. Dinners have been veggies, brown rice or pasta, and some meat. I will hopefully see a more friendly number on the scale but its steered me wrong before.
I am looking for guest posts for weight loss Wednesday. Please let me know if you'd like to share your story. I'm linking up with
Erin and
Alex for weigh-in Wednesday.
You're right - the scale definitely can't always be trusted. Have you started taking measurements? Sometimes those can be so much more telling of your progress! You should try it sometime. And I would definitely be interested in guest posting about my weight-loss story! Let me know! Visiting today from the WIW link-up :)

"The scale cannot be trusted". Exactly.
ReplyDeleteYou are still doing great, this whole week for me has been shot thanks to random outings lol.
ReplyDeleteYeah that scale is a trickster. I try not to focus on the number it gives, but it is such a hard habit to break. That's awesome about the pants fitting again! =)
