Gee -- you think so? Drat! Today it's day 7 and 7 pounds gone. Should
I put them back on? Don't think so.

Obviously a lot of it is water -- almost certainly most of it. I have
probably lost about 3 or 4 actual pounds.

As time goes on the slogging gets more and more difficult with a loss
of a pound or two on some of the weeks.

Some people are scared by an initial large weight loss, but that's the
way the body works, as it gets rid of water, etc.

Anyway, I'm just chugging along! I hope your program works for you!

Yours,

Caleb

Dieting is never easy - lots of icebergs to avoid, lots of changes to
make.

But it's a matter of physics, chemistry.

Fewer calories in than you need to support your weight and you will
lose the pounds, ounces, etc. Make those calories fewer by dieting and/
or exercise. I'm doing both.

No magic, no nonsense, just nose to the grindstone and fewer calories
in than you need to support your current weight.

From my perspective, I want a reasonably big weight loss to maintain
motivation. Mildly changing doesn't work for me and I don't think it
really helps to motivate a lot of people.

Hope everyone does well!

Many of the names have changed since I was last here, but I sure hope
everyone makes her/his goal and is supportive of others in their quest
to lose weight.

Yours,

Caleb
