There were a lot of nerves ahead of this week's weigh-in for our Biggest Loser competition. There were such big weight losses after the first week, people were wondering if they could keep it up. The answer for the most part is - of course not.
This week's results were much more in line with what you'd expect. People lost 1 or 2 pounds. Some had bigger results, but everyone is different. The sad part is I heard people lamenting the fact they didn't lose nearly as much this week. My answer to that is - did you gain weight? A loss of a pound or two in a week is something that can be sustained.
Now, having said that, I have to confess I lost almost as much this week as last. 3.8 lbs. this week. No, I am not starving myself. I eat 5 times a day. What I did do, was cut out white food for the most part - bread, pasta, sugar, etc. I stopped eating within 3 hours of bedtime. I am drinking even more water and green tea than I used to and I worked out 5 times in the past week.
Have I cheated? Of course. For dinner last night, I ate onion tart, baguette, camembert cheese, pate and grapes - leftovers from the birthday party we threw the night before.
Tonight, I'm taking my husband out to dinner to celebrate my success and that will probably include a glass (or two) of wine.
7.8 lbs. in 2 weeks. My goal for week 3 is one pound. Wish me luck!
By the way, I'm now back in the "normal" range of the BMI.
week 1 - 164.8
week 2 - 160.8
week 3 - 157
