I'm with your 'other half' on this one- stay away from the scales! I did exactly the same and ended up getting so hung up on my actual weight, when otherwise I was feeling fantastic. I'm down to once a day now, but I try not to take them too seriously!

Are you sure you're eating enough? I still find it hard sometimes to make sure I eat enough carbs- I've nowhere near the appetite I had in the old days!

By the way, I 'only' lost 4lbs in my first week too, & I was thrilled! And if your measurements are down that proves things are happening anyway.

Have you started a journal? I find it useful, and I often like to have a nose through other journals to check out recipes, tips & just general stuff. I'm a nosy person I guess!

Keep up the good work, though!

Take care, Daisy
