I'm a real newbie when it comes to weight loss. I attempted to lose weight once about 4 years ago on Weight Watchers with co-workers and lost 10 lbs, but didn't have the money to renew the 3 month membership to continue and I eventually gained 20 back.
I started my second attempt at weight loss 9/18/09 using Wii Fit and portion control (Healthy Choice) and have lost 7 lbs so far. Wonder if it is really fat I have lost since it seems like a lot to me in 18 days. Any thoughts?
Usually, the beginning is a lot of water weight loss (Think about it - 2 8oz glasses is 16oz - how much a pound weighs. Adds up easily). Over time it will likely slow down a bit (though not necessarily, depending on all you are doing).
The important part is to keep going. Some weeks it may show only a tiny loss/no loss/even a lil gain. There are all sorts of reasons it could happen - water retention from too much salt, just water period, monthly cycle, etc. But soon enough it usually breaks and you lose more again. Good job on 7 pounds so far.
My Wii Fit just arrived. Wheeee! I need to open it up and try it out.
