So I got my new scale in the mail today. The problem is that it varies by as much as two pounds each time I use it. I think it has something to do with how I stand on it. Anyway, I have a rough idea of where I'm starting from, hopefully Thursday morning I can get a more official (ie consistent) reading.
Today is my first day counting points. I've only used about a quarter of my points for the day. I think I have been overly paranoid about foods. This is, I believe a common problem in starting a diet... I'll be so self contained for one day, eating nothing but the most healthy options, and then I rebel by binging.
Here's hoping that labeling your faults really is half the battle ;)
This is a public diary and a public confession. Its the story of Mike Gibbons-Camp, a 30 year old legal aid attorney who on August 23, 2007 weighed in at 392.8 lbs. Thanks to the constant support of my wife, Liz, and a kick in the pants by a good friend who I hadn't talked to for a while, I finally decided that enough was enough. But instead of quietly suffering with my weight, I started my blog, "New Me?"
I did really well for 10 weeks, then it completely fell apart. I was in denial for a long time, thinking I was just slipping up a bit, making a mistake here or there. But the reality was that I had failed.
Since then i've tried just about everything I could to get back on the wagon. And i've done well for a week here, a week there, but nothing lasting. So I don't know what to tell a new reader to my blog, but "welcome, and wish me luck."

Maybe you could try to start out eating what your "old" points target was on the old plan?
Not that I advocate binging, but we're all human and we all do it at times, and I like that WW basically builds in for something like that if you "plan ahead" with your flexpoints.
