I finished week 1 on SBD and lost a total of 8 pounds! Someone at work told me that was mainly water weight. That's okay with me. If it counts when the doctor weighs me, it counts when I lose it!
I have a question. After week 2, we are encouraged to have a glass of red wine a day. Because of my history of migraines, I have stayed away from red wine. (And limit chocolate, nuts, etc.) I read in another thread that white wine has too much sugar.
Would I be better off drinking a glass of a blush wine (white zinfindel, for example), or just skipping the wine all together. I know it isn't a requirement to include the wine in the plan, but I do enjoy the blush wines and it would almost seem like a reward, with benefits. Can't beat that!
Eight pounds is awesome! Congrats! Phooey on your co-worker's comment. Not sure about the wine.... but I'm wondering with your healthy new eating lifestyle if your migraines will improve? That would be a wonderful side effect, wouldn't it?
Mousetater! Whoo Hooo! Good job on your first week! As for it being water weight...I know even when I deviated (read: screwed up) from the plan early on I didn't gain it back, and I think I would have if it had been "only water." But you're right...the quick weight loss at the beginning is a blessing no matter what you're losing!
You are making great progress, and should be so proud of yourself! The people at work are just making jealous
comments. Pay them no attention, and continue OP with pride!
Anything you add back on this WOE should be done slowly, and with a watchful eye. Check how your body reacts to only one thing at a time....wine being in question.
Way to go! That is great! I am about to finish up my first week as well and I have showng great progress! Like you, it counts at the the doctor's scale.. so I am thrilled with the progress! Now I am just exercising to keep the weight loss going!
