First week down but still a little unsure

**Pargs** · 29-07-2012, 10:30 AM

Day 7 of BT today and having my "free day".

I just weighed myself this morning and have lost 2 kgs all up. I am happy with this result, however it seems that most other BTers are losing a lot more in their first week with an average of 5kgs. I am worried that with only 2 kgs in the first week that I might hit a plateau. Im wondering whether I might have done something wrong...although have stuck to the diet (apart from only have a 2 day detox as opposed to 3).

Starting weight: 70
Current weight: 68
Goal weight: 60

Any suggestions?

Its more then likely because of your starting weight. Those people losing 5kg in the first week probably weigh a lot more then you do.

Yeah that makes sense. I am going to be vigillant this coming week for sure! I know I shouldn't feel dissapointed but expected more...

2 kgs is an amazing loss

Don't feel disappointed at all, feel proud . . if you go to your supermaket next time and pick up a 2g bag of potatoes and think that is how much your NOT carrying around now . .

I think you done amazing

Got2doit, you are right. You have made me see the light with the bag of potatoes! I should be proud and now I am. Thanks so much for your kind words and the motivation

I usually lose 100-200g as I am sometimes close to goal but I always check it out with loose potatoes at the f&v shop. 2kg is a fantastic weight to lose. Do not make the mistake of comparing your loss to someone else - just keep it off & check if they do.

Great job Pargs ! Sounds to me like you are doing wonderfully. I tend to have smaller weight loss also, but it's constant so I am always super happy with it. While ever I am losing, I am lighter today than yesterday, and I am healthier today than yesterday
