Week 1 - 5.2 pounds

I weighed in at 240.1 this week. Down 5.2 pounds from last week. I didn't get the dramatic first week weight loss because I had already been dieting for two weeks. I had lost my initial water weight already, so this is almost all fat. Gone.

In class we learned some interesting math to help show what is "real" weight lost and what is water. My math showed that only .6 of my loss was water weight. As my weight goes down, I will have to increase my exercise to get the same kind of loss each week. The math allows me to figure out how much additional exercise I will need to do this.

Do I feel any different? Not really. I feel a little less bloated. I guess my face looks a little thinner. In a couple of weeks, I'm probably going to need some new jeans. That will be progress!
