I started Dec 1st with 1600 calorie a day low fat diet along with Alli. Been exercising at the YMCA everyday with 1 hour (pretty slow though) on the eliptical every day so far.
Been keeping a food and diet journal and was going to weigh myself every Friday however I could not resist getting on the scale to see if I am losing any weight this morning (Thursday). I don't look or feel I have lost any but I have to admit I have been feeling pretty energetic since I started. Oh yeah and I have been making sure I get at least 8 hours sleep every night.
I got on the scale and it says I lost 6 pounds. Is that possible in 4 days? I mean I know what I weighed when I started and I know my scale is accurate.
I thought 1-2 pounds a week was normal. On one hand this really gives me hope but on the other hand maybe it is just water weight I am losing.
I want to lose 140 pounds and a few days ago I felt like I was at the bottom of a mountain looking up at the peak a LONG, LONG ways away! But now I feel like I am a tiny bit closer.
I know some of yall will think I am nuts for getting stoked only 4 days into my diet but I can't help it for the first time in a long time I feel like I have hope!
