I do agree with one of the posts, that losing much more than a few pounds a week is unhealthy, but at this point you don't need to worry about it. I agree, too, that it is more about how you feel than the numbers. You may need to keep that in mind in the future. I can't wait to see the two of you and your progress in a few months! I'm so excited :) Congrats again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-6615718217387976182007-06-28T15:36:00.000-04:002007-06-28T15:36:00.000-04:00Awesome news.. keep up the hard work.. it's almost...Awesome news.. keep up the hard work.. it's almost like having another job I think..

Usually the first few weeks have a more dramatic loss and then it averages out. I am aiming for a 2 pound per week average but will be thrilled with a steady weight loss.<BR/><BR/>Hilly ~ I can't wait for the day that fast food sounds gross. <BR/><BR/>Furtive ~ I am currently adding days to my life bank as I type :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995636108623685490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-27446364235772940072007-06-28T12:58:00.000-04:002007-06-28T12:58:00.000-04:00Brilliant news!

I...I had a similar thing happen several years ago. I decided to eat right and drink lots of water, but then I didn't notice any weight loss at first. Probably you lost three pounds of fat that first week, but it didn't show on the scale because you'd added three pounds of water.<BR/><BR/>At this rate you'd lose about three and a half pounds a week. Losing much more than two or three pounds a week isn't safe. Two or three pounds a week doesn't sound like much, but remember that if you lost just two pounds a week you'd lose just over a hundred pounds in a year, and three pounds a week would add up to more than a hundred and fifty pounds a year.<BR/><BR/>If you keep at it, by this time next year you'll look very different and should have a lot of health benefits as well.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-33086689679452352052007-06-28T11:37:00.000-04:002007-06-28T11:37:00.000-04:00That's awesome.

I drink La Croix club soda, but they have different flavors now and they're natural instead of using the artificial sweetener. I love the stuff. Plus there aren't any calories.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103812856035857566noreply@blogger.com
