I'm finding the same. While I do weigh myself nearly every day, I only record the number once a week or so. It's more for monitoring trends.
I've dropped at least a size in jeans (it's hard to say for sure, when there's so much loose post-pregnancy muffin top - pants that fit with minimal squishing tend to fall down, but pants that don't fall down tend to squish it unattractively), but I've found that without that extra weight, I just feel so much better, I'm more inclined to move around than before. (I could still stand to move more, but the idea is more appealing than it used to be.) I was a little surprised at that, actually - I'm not an 'exercise'-type, I tend to prefer activities that have a mental learning curve, like figure skating or dance. But now, even climbing the stairs gives me a little 'feel-good' boost, rather than just an unpleasant, tired feeling.

I don't weigh, but I've gone from a size 6 pants to a 4 (I'm only 5' 1" with a very small frame, so I still need to go down another size or so). I thought I'd weigh in here with my thoughts on exercise. I decided when I first started this new WOE that I would get my diet under control first and later add an exercise program, thinking I was more likely to stick to my new lifestyle changes if I did one at a time. What I've found is after several weeks of eating this way, I have so much more energy. There has been no need for me to do an "exercise program". With all this new energy, I'm just naturally more active. I'm more playful with my young children, we dance, play xbox kinect, run around at the park, etc. Also, my house is cleaner, and I find myself going and doing more. Way better than any equipment or going to the gym, in my opinion!

I tend to conk out easily probably due to my anemic state most of the time. Weird cos I eat a lot of red meat and greens, but it seems to come right quickly when i down a redbull. Probably the Vitamin B. Let me know what exercise works for you and what I can do to keep from fainting when I do. Oh and sports drinks don't work for me, it just all comes out after the workout.

I tend to fill my days with food. It's a filler, for when I'm bored or irritated or lonely or angry. Anyway, I lost about 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Felt pretty good, but I did at some stage feel like I hit a plataue. After 2 weeks only,what did I expect. My biggest danger is the scale. I get up every morning and I'm urged to get on that scale. If the numbers are down I'm okay, but if it's up then I start doubting if the program is working. Anyway, I am starting tomorrow again, because I've picked up 8 pounds in the past month. Hope you guys can keep me motivated and I promise (provisionally) to only weigh once a month. So 16 Feb I will be weighing in. Wish me luck. BTW my window is 4-9 felt the best cos when it gets to 5 I'm so ravenous that I eat way to much so 4 is my break-fast time.
