We completed our very first week of dieting so it only makes sense to share my results. After one week, I've lost a total of 4.8 pounds or 2.97% of my body weight. A part of me was a bit disappointed by this as I've been on and off the scale throughout the week and have received far better results. Still, I tried to make sure that we did our measurements and took pictures at the exact same time that we initially took them so they could be most accurate. I should be happy with almost five pounds and I am. I just wished I hadn't stepped on the scale so often during the week. For this week, I must definitely avoid the scale along with the carbs.
In addition, my body fat percentage is now lower and my total body water percentage has increased. Both are good. Our measurements aren't exact as we are just using a scale and not one of those devices you seem in the gym. In addition, I seemed to lose an inch in my waist, hips, and chest which I'm also happy about. I know it seems like I'm not all that excited about these losses and like I said, I think it's just disappointment over the prior readings on the scale. I know it's stupid and irrational to be wish for more and that it just requires some patience.
It didn't take me a week to put on 30 pounds and it certainly is going to take some time to get rid of it all but patience has never been my forte. I've had a great start and I need to just keep going. If I stick with this and continue to be diligent with my food choices I can go back to eating more freely. The more work I do now, the sooner I get to where I want to be.
