I had my first monthly Dr.'s office weigh-in last night and he was beside himself at the results! I was down a solid 15 lbs from the previous visit a month ago!! Technically I started this journey the week before that and according to my scale yesterday, I was 19.8 down. It felt so great watching his reaction reading my LS graph. I've been pretty proud of myself, and the husband has been really supportive, but it's nice to have someone else on my team! It appears none of my friends have seen much of a difference as of yet. I'm really okay with that, but I think "how fat was I that you don't realize a 20 lbs difference?!" Maybe they just don't want to say anything, because they would be confirming that I was much larger to begin with that and that's uncomfortable for everyone. Who knows really.
At the Doctor we discussed a sustainable calorie goal too. I've been at 1212-1230 for about two weeks now and have had headaches and am super tired. He said humans shouldn't eat that small of an amount and upped it to 1550! I think that may be a bit on the other extreme, and am settling at 1350, but it was nice to know I wasn't crazy and was in fact starving. Funnily enough, I'm at about 1050 for the day right now and am completely fine. I guess it depends on the day! Now I'm off to have a glass of wine to beef up my calories. Dr.'s orders :)
