No weight loss

Consider my copyrighted and trademarked PP method of weight loss: Practice Patience. Whatever weight you were when you started your journey took quite awhile to gain. Effect weight loss is not something one can accomplish overnight or even in a week.

Nine pound loss in 7 days can be accomplished in several ways, but that much in that time frame is probably one of two things:

1. starvation diet
2. mostly 'water weight'

Eat less. Eat better. Move more. And don't let short term goals get in the way of life long health.

I have 10 pounds to go for my next target and I am "budgeting" that is going to take around 6 weeks - so that perhaps is a bit of perspective.

Meanwhile - it is pretty much impossible to have lost 9 pounds of fat in 7 days as that would require around a 4500 calorie deficit each day - so it will most likely have been a combination of fat and water. But that is what happens when you start and things will settle shortly.

Myself, when I started my weight loss, I decided not to weigh myself for the first month so as to avoid this issue. Now I weigh every day but the average over the weeks and months is the key figure.
