Day 3 of calorie counting.

I've lost 5 pounds already. Woo.

Bad thing is my brother's wedding is Saturday, so tomorrow I have to go the the rehearsal dinner and they're getting Chick Fil A catered.   Boo.

That doesn't sound healthy at all.
1-2 lbs a week is the healthy way to lose weight.
My calorie goal is 1200 a day.

Quoting Mrs. Dexter Morgan:" That doesn't sound healthy at all. 1-2 lbs a week is the healthy way to lose weight. My calorie goal is 1200 a day."

It is normal to lose that fast the first week. As much as it sucks it is mostly all water weight.  

It honestly sounds like you're not eating properly. It's not healthy to lose that much that quick.

Quoting Tristan's Mommy!:" It is normal to lose that fast the first week. As much as it sucks it is mostly all water weight.  "

this!!!

Ah didn't think of that. I wish that's how it was for me when I was counting calories.

Quoting Mrs. Dexter Morgan:" That doesn't sound healthy at all. 1-2 lbs a week is the healthy way to lose weight. My calorie goal is 1200 a day."

My daily goal is 1300 but the first day I did 1100, day 2 1110, and today 870 so far. I might eat one more time though.

That didn't happen to me at all, I've lost almost 15 lbs calorie counting.

Quoting Norah's Momma™:" My daily goal is 1300 but the first day I did 1100, day 2 1110, and today 870 so far. I might eat one more time though."

You should, sending your body into starvation mode is seriously scary!
But keep up the good work!

If you're using MFP, add me

My first week of weight watchers I lost 9 pounds. After 12 weeks I have lost 41. It is faster than recommended but I am eating my amount of points each day. Some people just lose faster than others. My like I said, from what all of the books that I have gotten from Weight Watchers, it is normal to lose that fast the first week or two.

Hmm, strange.
I guess if you have a lot to lose, it comes off quicker too sometimes.

I definitely have a lot to lose. I'm at an even 200 after losing the five and my goal is to be at 130. I'm only 5'2. I've got a loooonnnng way to go.

I meant that in an non-mean way, I'm sorry if it sounded mean!
My sister is 5'5 and she was at 210, she's lost 40 lbs going to the gym daily and counting calories, she lost weight a lot quicker than I did.

Oh no I didn't take it the wrong way.   When I think about how much I have to lose I honestly get super discouraged. My DH is skinny and has a badass metabolism (of course   ) so he can eat whatever he wants anytime he wants which makes it a little harder for me to resist junk/fast food.
