WOW! This article answered every question I have been seeking answers for. Its a shame its not possible to lose more than a pound a week, but the last thing I want to do is harm my health. I am TOTALLY new to the dieting thing so this really helped. So with this water weight, how long till i see a downward trend again?

Can I still lose weight if my glycogen stores aren't empty?

one more question. Should I be eating 500 or 1000 cal below my daily burn of 3000? I forgot to mention that I exercise about 6 days a week.

So i should just continue with what I am doing and I should be fine? THATS AWESOME!!! Still though...I will be keeping a close eye on my weight loss to ensure that I continue downward.
