Susie,
I am so happy top hear that you are doing so well. I am very very happy for you. I definaely feel a bit fatigued durning this initial stage so your number mix-ups are something I totally identify with. I mixed up my numbers a bit myself. Now I right my morning weight down every day in my calendar. I started doing that on 8/25th. I was a little higher in weight before that and had already stared watching my weight, but didn't really track it until the 25th. SO that is what I call my start date now. So I think I am on day 9, in 8 days I went from 215 down to 209, for a loss of 6 pounds. I know that some do a lot more than that, but I am very happy as well. I alreadyy feel the bloat leaving me and feel less "puffy". Mostly though, I am so so so so PROUD of myself for NOT NOT NOT going back to smoking or diet pops. Every time in the past I started a diet and used it as an excuse to take back my two other bad faults. Thgis time I am on CAmbridge cig and pop free. I am very happy about that. I feel like I am getting healthy again.
I started to drink tonic water for the fizz. There is no artifical sweetner or anything in it. Now, I know it is not like grabbibg a nice cold diet coke, but I am learning to like/love it. I like the feel of popping the can open and taking a cold slug. It has been working for me so far. I am also drinking a minimum of a gallon of water a day. I am almost to the point where I have to have it. Funny huh.
I just can't wait to get myself back under 200 again. I am upset I let myself put the weight back on, but I am happy I am dealing with it before it got more out of hand. I am still 30 pounds lighter from my high point in life, so I only gained back 1/2 before deciding to do something again.
I am happy to be here.
Cograts again Susie!!!!

: Not on purpose, though. It was a brain-dead
: moment, that whole day! I had actually lost
: only 8 1/2 pounds by the sixth day--I just
: subtracted wrong.

: AND, when I said I had gotten down to 134 a
: year and a half ago, I transposed the
: numbers, oops. I had actually gottne down to
: 143 pounds. So that's why I thought an extra
: ten pounds would look pretty okay.
:
: Are any of you finding yourself going
: brain-dead, here and there, on this diet?
:
: Anyway. I'm starting my second week today,
: and I have lost a total of 9 pounds (for
: sure this time) so far. So in the last two
: days, I have lost one pound.
:
: But I figure that a 1/2 pound loss per day
: is HUGE, if it's fat, and not water. Because
: it takes 3500 calories to make a pound, and
: my body weight only uses about 2000 calories
: a day. So I can't possibly use up a whole
: pound's worth of of fat in one day, I'm
: thinkin'.
:
: Well, so I started out at 164, and now 175,
: YOU do the math hee hee!
