Congrats from another recent LCer, Jen. I don't know about you, but I find this new WOL easy to follow... my boyfriend is also following it with me for the most part (and typically he's noticing improvements much earlier, then again he has 20% BF). It's ironic to think that the foods he reintroduced me to a year ago (bacon, sausage, steak) which prompted a 20 lb weight gain have become stables of my diet and part of the reason for my recent successes.

As for the scales, hide them, they'll become your nemessis. I used to obssess over a half a pound gain or loss when I owned them. Now I visit my parents once a week for an update. A tape measure is going to be your new best friend.

Keep up the good work and here's to a fantastic week 2!!
