Good advice.

Ok.. I always weigh myself in the morning.. but was surprised to weigh less this afternoon! I'll weigh again tomorrow morning and go with that weight. :) Thanks everyone.

So funny how we both pegged her for a teacher of young children. I wonder if we're right!

Today in a matter of 1-2 hours my weight had changed over a pound. With nothing but drinking coffee.[/quote] Ha, crazy. Ok, i'll start looking for those trends.

Oh sorry, I thought you meant deficit as in "lower weight on the scale"

But at one point it won't be just water weight..but I assume you mean the first 2-5 lbs may just be water weight? I never really understood that phrase.

Thanks everyone for your responses. The restaurant food and drinks made me feel like crap so it got me curious to see if it affected my weight. Obviously it would..maybe it was a self-punishment thing.. I knew i'd be more. Anyway, I will stick to the weighing myself after my morning pee. I was happy with the nearly 2 lb…

Very good point about the water! Thank you for all the info. Super helpful!

Thanks Jasmenne! You look amazing. Way to go! Not eating before bed is a good tip. I hate feeling hungry when I do to bed, but again, my body is just used to a few bad habits and I need to wean it off of those habits! For exercise I enjoy jogging/running. I used to do weights, but am sticking to only cardio now. Does it…

I'm too impatient to do the 1/2 pound though! haha. I just want to get to my goal quickly. I know, I know.. not the best way to think, but that's where I am right now. The first day or two was tough, but now on day 4, I am feeling much better. I will stick to the 1 lb a week.

Hey Kristen! Yes, that sounds super doable. Thanks! Good for you on your weight loss!

Hello! Thanks for your feedback, everyone. So 1310 is doable.. especially if you exercise. I burned 540 at the gym today, so gained some extra room to eat more. I actually have 100 calories left to eat. Loading up on veggies really helps and drinking water too. I have been more hungry than I usually am, but I remind myself…

Thank you Janie! Yes, I keep forgetting that I can receive more calories if I work out. Work out to eat more! :) I'm just excited to finally be doing something. I woke up this morning feeling great about making a change.

True. Is 1lb hard to do? Thanks!

5'4. I am just starting. I am around 133-135. My goal weight is 120-124.
