Health Journey 2026 - Weigh in #1 and Food

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? No, it has not been a full week since I started, but I want my weigh in day to be on Fridays. Next time though it will be a full week. Anyways - how did I do the first couple days? Starting weight - 242 This morning - 234 That is down 8 pounds. Yes, I know it is mostly water weight...but even getting that much fluid off helps a lot. Today we got food from the fish truck that came to town, so no I was not carnivore today. Fish and chips was the meal. I had a protein shake before that to get some extra protein in. Approximate macros: 1,240 calories, 71 carbs, 49 fat, 85 protein. I couldn't weigh the fish I got, so the protein in the meal is just based on the estimate they gave on the website. My blood sugar has been a bit higher today because of that meal, but I think the peak got to the 170s. So, what do you think of the weigh in and everything?

@MommyOfEli2013 5 weeks away The loss will slow down So if you lose another 20lbs So that would be two stones Then you will see a difference, And so will we

@Ineeddentures I think the appointment is more like a bit over 3 weeks. I know it will slow down, but I also wonder how much is just water weight. Maybe by the next time I go, 3 months after this one I can be under 200. That's a lot to ask though lol.

If Friday is your cheat day and you keep it limited to one meal you will still do great. You have a good start

It will usually be every other Saturday I have a cheat. This was an extra cheat day because the fish truck was in town. I still lost weight with that meal. Today is a bigger cheat though. Only going to have the one meal, but allowing a couple treats lol
