I made a mistake in my journal yesterday. I had stated that I thought that my weight was holding steady instead of dropping because of the muscle gain I am experiencing through the exercises. I saw a comment/post yesterday stating that sometimes when weight holds steady on the calorie count program it can be caused by water retention. So, I did some research and reading on that topic yesterday afternoon. Some of the different things I read was to use something that is diuretic to help release the water from your body. I did just that. I drank two beers last night, and I miraculously woke up this morning 6 pounds lighter than yesterday morning. WOW! So, that makes a total of 8 pounds that I've lost since I started this almost two weeks ago. Talk about progress!!
I did really good on my food yesterday. I stuck to my calories and didn't have seconds on anything. I'm feeling better physically and emotionally. I'm loving this. I can see myself sticking to this long term, especially with the support of this site and people.

Nice job on the weight loss. You are probably experiencing that beginners edge they always talk about. I hope it holds on for you, but it will probably relax down to about 1-2 lb per week. I've always known that beer dehydrates you, but didn't think about it to get excess water weight off. I would think of trying it, but beer makes me weak. I have no will power after two beers and end up eating garbage. LOL Good to know though. Maybe I could drink one just before bed so I don't eat anything after.
