Congratulations katy6860 that is a fantastic start. That's the equivalent of almost 6 blocks of butter so really well done.

[Nannynormal in reply to Kenny25]

What is a block of butter. Ours comes in a block of 8 ozs is that it?

[elliebath Maintainer in reply to Nannynormal]

That is a good loss , 6 x 8 oz blocks of butter = 3 lbs.

Well done to Katy ☺

Fantastic! Presumably we all start with shifting gallons of water ( not sure abt that actually, there's got to be some substance to it) so fantastic!

[Annde70 in reply to Hidden]

The reason we shead water when we first start to diet is the first source of energy the body uses when not getting enough calories is glycogen which is stored in water in the liver and it is not until this source of energy is used up and the water it is stored in disposed of that we start to metabolise our fat stores 🙂

Golly gosh. That is interesting. Anyway, whatever the reason, it is so very nice to have that boost at the start.

Well done Katy, keep going !! Best wishes Jan

[elliebath Maintainer]

That's a great start whatever it is. I still remember the fear and then the thrill of my very first weigh in , discovering that it was actually working! For me that was 2 years and 32 lbs ago , and Ive maintained for over a year . So KEEP GOING , you are on the right road Katy. 😊

[moreless Administrator 7 stone]

Woohoo Katy! WTG you!

Keep up the great work and have another fab week

[Shazbw]

Well done! What a great start 😀 Keep up the good work 🐬

[Osiris275]

Great start! I remember that feeling well, the shock that I was actually losing. Even now after 15 months I still get the 'wow I'm doin it feeling'!

[RUBEE2013]

Well done keep it up

[katy6860]

I am so disgusted with myself today! 4 have been doing so well and today I blew it! I have had this terrible habit of getting up around midnight or 1 am and eating and I did it tonight! I had a mini pizza around 900 calories! I just want to cry and scream and anyway, I may be blowing this all out of proportion but I just feel terrible. it is one of the bad habits I am trying to kick and have been doing good at it but slipped up something awful tonight. *sigh* I am going to start exercising tomorrow. I think that will actually make me feel better. I did weigh the other day and I had lost another 4 pounds.... hopefully I did not put it all back on! thanks all of you for your help and encouragement! you all are life savers!
