My first week on my new lifestyle change I lost around 6 pounds. My second week I lost 1 pound. My next week I lost around 5-6 pounds....is this normal...I mean I know everyone says that there isn't anything normal about weight loss....but this week I haven't lost any weight...which is discouraging when I feel like I'm eating right and exercising.....it can't be the exercise....because I'm changing it up so that my body doesn't get used to it...I make it a little harder or go up the next level.
I keep thinking it has to be my food....I have been drinking more diet cokes this week....which probably means I haven't been drinking as much water......so that could be it....or I'm wondering about the content of my diet....I eat no more than 1500 calories a day......usually betweek 1300 to 1400 calories...this is what I usually eat more or less
Breakfast - I will have a turkey sausage, egg, and cheese muffin or cressoint (they are Jimmy Dean delights), or a bowl of oatmeal and toas, or a bacon sandwich with 1/2 oz of chips
Snack - usually a 100 calorie pack of cookies
Lunch - usually a cheeseburger with lean meat, fat free cheese, whole wheat bun with 1/2 oz chips or 1 and 1/2 oz fries, or a grilled chicken cassedilla, or fish sticks or something
Snack - 1/2 turkey sandwich and 1/2 oz chips
Supper - usually some kind lean meat with a couple kinds of veggies like corn, green beans or something like that
So....does it look like too many carbs ...I mean I'm eating potato chips but I'm eating them in moderation....1/2 oz at a time....I'm eating lean meats and wheat breads.....I just don't know!
Thanks in advance to all who can help!
