The good (and official) news - I am down 1.2 lbs from last week, so not too bad for my first week.
The somewhat discouraging part is that on Monday I was actually down another .6 lbs, and was hoping to keep going DOWN since then, rather than bounce back up a bit.
BUT I'm keeping my wits about me and remembering that, if I'm sticking to the plan, it will come off, slow and steady, so I'm pleased - and 1.2 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. What's more, I'm really down ~3 lbs from where I settled post-baby (if you can say a slow, steady gaining is settled ... I guess I should say my recent high plateau) ... so I'm happy about that.
Actually I think it's good that I have parked here this week, rather than lost more, because it's encouraged me to really stick to the MWL plan and not dive into all kinds of flour products and fudging. - My tendency is to think "I have room to be less strict!" so I'm glad for the motivation to be strict.
