Ok so i was reading my scale wrong. I started eating less take out food and working out a little bit After the holidays. I was about 320/318. I started counting calories on here 2 weeks ago. I thought my scale was reading 315 but it actually says 310. (My very dumb mistake) I didn't know each notch was 2lbs. but is that possible i mean how? I'm definitely not remembering wrong & i am definitely reading it right NOW

    If it helps i think i lost 17 pounds when i first started in my first month. Eating at 1200 cals at 232 (i have pcos so i had to eat low xD ) . So yeah its a thing, Its legit. Ye most is water sadly but its still weight no longer on you, Keep it up :P

    edit: just looked it up i lost 22 on first month xD Was a nice month i wish for that now lol.

    10lbs in the first 2 weeks, when you have a higher start weight, is believable. Some of it will be water weight, sure, but your scale probably isn't messing with you. Well done! It generally slows down a bit, but it's a great start.
