In my first 7 days on the 500 calorie diet, I have dropped 14.5 pounds!! In one WEEK!! That is insane. I am now only 3 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight and that makes me very excited. I'm finally starting to notice some small things about my weight loss. I've noticed my jeans don't have that giant jelly roll hanging over them and I feel like my neck and face is thinning out a bit.
In addition to losing 14.5 pounds, I've also lost 3 1/2 inches total. I've lost 2 inches off my waist, 3/4 of an inch off my thighs, and 3/4 inch of my arms. How awesome is that?! Keeping up with this is hard, but it's not impossible. I felt horrible those first 2 days, especially the first day. But I've learned to really let my body tell me what it needs. I've learned to spread my meals through out the day, and to keep myself busy in the evenings so I don't snack and eat out of boredom. That is one of my biggest down falls.
My knee isn't really feeling much better, but I'm really trying. I've been doing my PT exercises at home and walking or biking to get some exercise. I'm feeling good overall about it though, just hopeful that it won't need surgery. I also heard a very encouraging statistic: 5 pounds of fat on your body puts up to 50 pounds of PRESSURE on your joints. No wonder my knee hurts so bad!! But 14.5 pounds of fat off of my knee should help it start to recover. At least I'm hoping so!
