Congrats, Apprelaw :) Probably some water weight involved, but you are off to a good start. In the beginning, a 9 lb weight loss is NOT unhealthy. It should slow to 2lbs a week or so, depending on diet and activity.

If you believe your fatigue and headache are not diet related (actually sugar detox among numerous other reasons can cause these symptoms), then check with your doctor. I just searched for peer reviewed studies and find nothing about the effect of stevia on neurotransmission other than glutamate (not implicated in…

I appreciate the link to the book, and I've downloaded it to my kindle. I'll be the…

I love the charge HR for many reasons, and the dashboard report on the fitbit site gives me lots of info. But the one thing that makes it worthwhile for me is the sync with MFP so that it's easy to track my 1,000 cal per day deficit.

I add an ounce or two of ham. Wellshire Farms Black Forest is fabulous (35 calories per ounce). With coffee and unsweetened almond creamer, my breakfast was 180 calories of filling yumminess.
