Hi

I’m just startling day 7 & and have lost 6 lbs so far. I want to encourage everyone that this initial weight loss is not water loss, because I have been on a low carbohydrate diet for a couple of weeks before starting this, so my water loss was in January. The downside is that my BMI is over 37, so I have a lot of weight to lose, and I’m a man, so weight loss seems to be quicker in men.

Hi Richard, yes, that’s when I realised that god must be a man, when I realised men seem to loser faster than women (only joking!) I think it is because men have a higher muscle ratio than women and so a faster metabolism. Well done on your weight loss so far. Personally I don’t think it matters if it is water or not. I’m glad to get rid of anything I don’t need to be carrying around with me, whether its water or fat or anything else. Great job, keep it up.
