I'm on day 3 of the 5-1 program.
I'm shocked to discover how much water I am retaining. I literally lost 5 pounds during the first day....I just started day 3 and weighed in to discover that 2 days of dieting caused me to shed 8 pounds of water. Holy crap.
I imagine from here on out, I'll be on the 1-2 pounds a week thing.
I bought 4 weeks of the program from Amazon and am doing it together with my doctor's support. Two years ago I lost 68 pounds (still had weight to lose, btw) but regained 30 of it. boohoo. I have struggled over the last couple of years with maintaining and weight loss hasn't even been on the radar. So .... I've decided to give this a go.
My intention is to use it to jumpstart things and then get back to my weight watchers style of eating. One month I can do. So far, I'm able to do it. I like that all meals are prepackaged and easy to make and that I don't have to think right now about what I'm going to eat. It takes away the worrying, obsessing and choosing. I think that if I can lose 10 actual pounds this month (Ummm...not the water weight that I just shed) then I will be able to feel like I'm back on track. I've been really down on myself about the regain.
So....there you have it.
