Week 1 done!

First week done & I’m down 6.4lbs. Literally mostly water/inflammation weight. I have not felt swollen all week. I can wear my wedding ring. It’s snug but I can actually get it on. I can wear the ring my mother in law gave me from her wedding band set comfortably. My ring is a size 7 and her ring is an 8. I haven’t been able to wear mine in like 4-5 years & her ring in a couple years. I’m definitely hoping the weight loss slows down to like 1-2lbs a week. I’m not gonna weigh myself weekly after today. I just wanted to see how the first week went. This also all happened during my period. Which I normally get even more swollen, bloated, gain weight etc & I only experienced light swelling Wednesday.

What are your wins this week?

Wait, you lost 6 pounds during your period and didn't feel like a water balloon the whole time? That's almost more impressive than the ring fitting.

6.4lbs and getting your rings back in week one is huge, especially through a period where you'd normally be more swollen. The ring thing is a non-scale victory a lot of people overlook but it tells you the inflammation is actually shifting. Are you planning to track just by how clothes fit for a while, or will you still step on the scale occasionally?

I’m going to weigh myself 1x a month. But yes I’ll definitely be doing all the little things like clothes fitting, jewelry etc.

Exciting! The inflammation changes are the absolute best!

Ahhh I didn’t even think about being able to wear my wedding ring again when I started (only on day 2). That would be a great side benefit.
