To be happy at losing 5lb in 3 days?

[RollsRoyce1963]

Started a calorie controlled diet /exercise plan last Friday May 23rd. I’ve now lost 5 pounds when I weighed this morning. ! I’ve stuck to it rigidly since Friday.

I’m 5ft1 by the way and my starting weight was 13 stone 11

Water

Agreed. Completely. But it’s given me the massive psychological and emotional boost I needed

I know you lose more in first week or so of a strict diet and the second week won’t be anything like this but still it’s given me a huge boost

Well done OP!! I'm reading the bloody sugar diet book and thinking of trying a very low calorie diet for a few days a week/eating a more Mediterranean style diet to help me be healthier and lose some weight.

5lbs in a week after your hard work is fantastic and sounds like the boost you needed to kick-start your healthier eating!

Thank you so much! Good luck with your new regime - you’ll feel better for it ! 🙌

You’re right to be happy! Yes it’s water weight, but it’s a positive start and good to see the scales moving down.
