Brother I am trying lmao holding up the best I can for her sake especially.
Yes probably was water weight the first week, there was a nearly 7 pound drop week 1 which was obviously not fat. It has evened out by now. There is no data to support losing fat at a quick but not crazy rate is harmful. My calorie deficit puts me at about 3.2lbs a week and that's going off of a tdee calculator and not figuring in the 10 miles of cycling I've been doing daily since I started.
The initial massive drop was then the slower weeks after which did not match my calorie deficit was obviously things evening out. Im eating 1700 calories which is sustainable to me I'm not starving and I don't have food aversion I just feel full fast and am able to control my cravings, I can walk by the bowl of candy at the office and not have to use every drop of will power I have to not eat some etc.
