I totally cheated this morning. I generally only weigh myself first thing Saturday morning so I don't obsess about the scale. Well, I hopped on this morning for sh!ts and giggles to see my progress this first week. I am down 2.6 to 168. Wow. I know from experience the first few pounds come off quickly. It's mainly water weight. It'll come off 1-3 pounds a week for the first 2-3 week then it starts to slow. Some weeks you'll lose 2, sometimes it's .5... Then there are those weeks where you lose nothing or you gain. When that happens, just keep pushing forward. If you're sitting at no loss and no gain for a few weeks or longer (a plateau) you just need to mix something up. Try a new exercise, increase your exercise time (instead of 25 mins do 30 or 35), or maybe you need a slight decrease in calories (I would say no more than 100) or aim closer to your low end if you tend to eat towards the high end.
Do you ever cheat and sneak a peek at the scale when you know you shouldn't?
