Week one results...

[Discover]

Started at 206 pounds.

One week later... 198.5.

Decent results I think, hope week 2 goes just as well. I've found the 20 net carb restriction to be very doable, and I may extend the induction period a good bit beyond 2 weeks.

The Halloween candy everyone brought to work over the last couple of days has been easier to turn down than I expected. Someone tossed me a Snickers bar Tuesday morning and I gave it back to them and said no thanks. I told them I was trying to avoid sugar, but thinking back I think that might have been rude? Maybe I should have thrown it away or gave it to someone else. =/

I had an interesting moment today, I ran into someone I know and he said it looked like I had lost 30 pounds (I last saw him a few weeks ago) and asked if I were dieting. I didn't give him too many details on what I'm doing but told him I've only lost 7 pounds. He didn't believe me. /shrug
I'm glad the results are showing already though, it's encouraging.

Anyways....

That is wonderful. Great loss.
Good work on those candies. They can be hard to deal with for sure.
Sometimes we lose inches before we lose the weight so maybe you really have lost what looks like 30 lbs. Either way - gotta love those compliments.

Those are some excellent results! Congrats!

As to what to say with the candy - I always struggle with that, being offered things that I don't eat. I think you handled it ok?

Just checked fitday and my beginning weight was actually 209, so lost even more than I thought... 10.5 pounds in week one.

I regifted a kitkat bar this week... lol a girl at my work knew it was my favorite and she brought in a kingsize bar, and I put it in my apron (im a waitress) and then my boss (hehehe) was looking at the other candy she brought in and he was like *shrug* no thanks, and he turned around and I said "do u like kitkats?" and he gladly took it with a smile on his face Apparently they are his favorite... lol brown-nose points, and no carbs for me
