Have lost 8lb in first two weeks of WW! But am confused as to how it's gone so fast!

[dinny]

don't get me wrong, am delighted but how has weight gone so fast? have totally stopped drinking alcohol for the last month also - could it be to do with that? I only have a stone to lose, so thought it'd take ages. is it something to do with water loss? I haven't changed WHAT I eat really - just controlled portion sizes and eaten no treats.

Well done maybe I should join too. Still have to get weight off from dc2 never mind dc3!!
(Did you eat a lot of treats?
More seriously were you starving?)

[dinny]

haven't been hungry at all.

suppose would have eaten crisps or nuts if having wine in evening... not loads though. obv enough to make a difference!

thats is excellent ,well done. I did ww a long time ago and lost about 9 pounds in 3 weeks and it made such adifference in how my clothes fit it cant possibly have just been water. I dont know how it works, just that it does. I suppose it just goes to show how those little extra treats make a really big difference.

[dinny]

expect it'll slow down a bit now though - can't poss hope for another 4lb next week, can I??

I often find I lose a lot of weight in the first two or 3 weeks of the WW diets. I lost 8.5lbs in first 3 weeks this time, and DH lost 9lbs in same time. Thjis week though it has slowed down, as normal - aiming for about 2lbs a week, but always find after the big drop at the start I have a week or two of smaller losses before evening up again.

Well done; it is a great start - you'll be at that target weight sooner than you think!

[dinny]

is it water retention or something, Hulababy?

very gratifying, whatever it is!
