Start of week 2

[discodoris]

Well, it's not been a bad week for weightloss, bearing in mind that much of what is lost in the first week is just stored glycogen and associated water.  I'm down to 169 lbs, so that's 6lb gone.  I would hope that there's about 1.5 lb of fat included in that total.  I've managed to keep my Calorie intake to between 1200 and 1600 each day, although with working on the house for selling purposes, studying hard to both complete an assignment and for an upcoming examination on the 24th of April and full-time work, there hasn't been much opportunity for exercise.  That will have to come a little later - the study has to take precedence for the time being.  For completeness, I'm studying for this qualification, if you are interested.

Anyway, I'm very happy with the weightloss figure, it's a nice start.  I haven't been too precious, there have been occasional chocolate biscuits and a small portion of tiramisu icecream included during the week, enough to treat myself without feeling like I'm cheating.  Talking of which, it's breakfast time - I can recommend Ryvita goodness bars if you need something that's very portable, nutritious and satisfying, as well as very tasty!  I have a mixed berry variety and some coffee to start my day.

Onwards and upwards (or in this case, onwards and downwards)!

Go you! :D

I've been using fitday.com to track my calories (I'm keeping mine to around 1000/day). I'm eating well (yay, chocolate); just... less. I also haven't yet integrated regular exercise into my routine due to other things (namely work) taking precedence... but I will.

My fitday info is here: http://fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=LdySaphyre

I seem to have hit a little plateau, weightwise, but that's to be expected (especially considering I'm not exercising).

6lbs the first week is tremendous! I'm so happy for you :) I started around the same place... so far, I'm 20 lbs down, got another 20+ to go. We'll see what happens.

Woot, sexy accountant!

Are you going to kon in September?

I'm hoping to go to KoLCon, certainly, probably travelling in the company of Poki. That would be why my first target of 150lb is for September ;) I want to look good in very few clothes in Arizona...

Hee. I wouldn't have guessed you were even 150 when I saw you at Koltimore! You looked great then, and I bet you'll look amazing in Arizona :)

I want to look good in very few clothes with you!

Teehee :D

Keep up the good work! I've lost 60 pounds thus far, thanks to switching to Diet Dew, Larping and vegetarianism.

Wow, that's really good going! Congratulations and all the best for however much more you want to lose. <3

Yeah... Congratulations! Every pound lost should be celebrated.

*makes note to self to buy a scale*

I should be doing this too!
