No more weighting to see... Week two results are in!

You know the drill: We have four dieters, four diet and exercise plans, and we're tracking them for four weeks.

We have those week two totals, of course. But, we're also going to look into why we gain that extra weight in the first place—the physical and emotional reasons.

Fourteen days into trimming off those extra inches, it's looking good on the diet front.

After two weeks on Curves Weight Management Plan, Rose Lencowski's weight is on the way down.

"If I lose one pound I’m happy," Rose says laughing.

So, considering she's dropped 12 in two weeks...

“It does help with the weight coming off, but I was motivated from the start,” she says.

Her biggest problem this week: A lingering foot injury has her taking a bit of a break from the gym.

“Curves recommends three days a week, I was working out five," Rose says.

Be it three or five, if you don't get up and get going, UW-Eau Claire Assistant Kinesiology Professor Jeff Janot says you're almost certain to put on some pounds!

"Physical activity is the number one reason why people gain weight," he says.

UW-Stout Associate Psychologist Jill Salsman says it's a cultural certainty.

"In our society, there is a lot more availability of elevators, escalators and moving walkways," she says.

Sue Kittelson's partnering her daily walks with something new: Weekly WeightWatcher meetings.

"Rather than doing it on your own, you’re in a whole room of people that are doing it with you," Sue says.

After two weeks in the program, Sue reached her five pound goal and got her first WeightWatcher’s star.

"That was fun. It’s certainly motivating," she says.

That's right; Sue dropped two more in week two thanks to walks, meetings, and keeping to her point schedule.

"I can eat anything that I want," Sue says.

Our experts say that's key, not necessarily to drop pounds, but to maintain a healthy weight..

"Unfortunately in our society people are taught food is bad,” says Salsman. “It’s important not to have that all or nothing thinking ‘well, I have to adhere to a strict diet and if I eat one cookie, I screwed up, I might as well eat the whole bag."

"I love to eat, I love food, I love to entertain," says Cal Robinson.

Robinson says Jenny Direct continues to make meal choices pretty easy.

"You know this is what a portion size really is," he says.

While surprisingly small at first, Cal says Jenny Craig consultants have plenty of tips to counter the need to feast.

“Take your time, you know, chew your food," he says.

This week Cal also hit the treadmill for the first time in a long time, working up to a big result, seven fewer pounds on the scale. That's 16 in two weeks!

"I’m very, very pleased!" Cal says.

And he’s on the way to his ultimate goal.

"Being this weight, your more prone to develop diabetes," Cal says.

Experts say diabetes can also mean more weight.

"Some people deal with diabetes issues. Thyroid disorder is linked to metabolism and another hormone called leptin helps control appetite,” Janot says. “People that have leptin disorder just eat and eat and eat."

But for most of us: "It's a lack of activity and diet,” Janot says.

It's finding time to exercise that continues to cause problems for Wendy Gustofson.

"Going for a walk at lunchtime, when I’d rather do my work,” she explains.

After not a second straight week of no loss, our do-it-on-her-own dieter is having some doubts.

"Honestly, I think it's time for a reality check," she says.

If you can't get away from your desk or keep your hand out of the snack jar, you might be on your way to an emotional weight gain. Here are some triggers for emotional eating:

“A lot of time, food in our society can be used as a coping mechanism,” Salsman says. “It could be boredom, stress, depression or anxiety.”

Our experts’ biggest word of advice: Help. Don't be afraid to ask for it.

"Sometimes you need more than diet or exercise. There can be a lot of psychological reasons behind weight gain," Salsman says.

"If you're doing regular exercise you feel your diet is there and you’re still not losing weight or gaining weight, it's time to go to a physician," Janot says.

Alright, after two weeks of working out and eating healthy here’s where everyone stands:

Cal lost another seven pounds, for a two week total of 16!
Rose is down another five. That's 12 pounds in two weeks.
Sue also dropped two more pounds, earning her five pound WeightWatcher’s star.
Wendy is still hanging in there at 162 and hoping to see the number shrink in week three.

Next week, we'll check back in with our gang of dieters to see how week three is working out!
