2 Weeks in on the WW

So it's been two weeks since I joined WW.

There is a whole lot to update so I will have to start at the beginning....

I joined on a Saturday morning and out of the gate, my leader was not clear on how much to charge me (of course she wanted to overcharge me) for the monthly pass.  I went through the meeting feeling a bit like I was at an AA meeting.  I was anxious for the meeting to be over so she could - "get me all set up".  Honestly, this is why I joined in the first place.  I wanted to understand the point plus structure and see how it was different from what I had been doing on my own for over a year now.

I was absolutely horrified to find out that the information I wanted (ie - calories etc.) was precisely the kind of information she WOULD NOT provide.  WHAT!!!  Let me get this straight.  I am paying $40.00 a month for a secret formula that you won't even explain.  She wrote down my daily point allowance and was pleased with herself to send me on my way.   Even two weeks later I'm still annoyed.

But - in keeping with the spirit of things I decided instead of trying to overthink everything yet again - I would pin up the logical side of my brain and go on blind faith.  Tricky, but I'll give it a shot.  Eat what they tell me in the quantites they recommend and just believe that something is going to work.  Hmmmmm....

Fast forward to two weeks later.  The first week I lost 5 lbs.  The second week 1.

I told myself (and my $40) that I really needed to commit for one month before I can make any judgement call at all about the lay of the land.  Because I am quickly bored I am doing something a little different each week to see how that impacts the overall...

So - Week One
Used every bit of my daily 33 points.  Used about half of my weekly and stored up about 5 activity points.
Exercised just one day.
Lost five lbs.

Week Two
Used every daily point (which was now switched to 32 - still pissed because they won't give me the formula for finding out how many points you should have, based on what.... rrrgghh)
Used every weekly point.
Exercised 2 times this week and used every activity point I had racked up.
Lost one lb.

Week Three - still in progress
So far using every daily point
Weekly points were gone by Sunday night (seriously, in the weekend I blew through them all!)
Exercising hard, 3 days so far and I've blown through most of these.
Lost - TBA
