I just wanted to keep on eating tonight.....
I did my walk with Leslie at about 6:45 this morning so I could get it in before I go to work. It is really making me feel more energetic.
I have become convinced-- after being two weeks on this 1600 calorie diet -- that it wouldn't much matter what diet you chose, IF YOU SIGNIFICANTLY CUT YOUR CALORIES, you'd lose a larger amount of weight the first two weeks than you will thereafter.
I remember when I did the South Beach Diet-- which I recommend, by the way-- I did the same thing. And when you read about others who have made up their minds to "do something", most of them have a "goodly" loss at the onset.
I'm thinking it is probably mostly fluid. There may be some real weight loss but it may not actually be any more than you will realize per week as you continue on with fewer calories.
I say that because I am already finding that I am now at a "standstill" on dropping off the weight. That means I am now in it for the long haul.
