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?)

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.

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!

is it water retention or something, Hulababy?

very gratifying, whatever it is!

good on you for losing the weight
