Do/did you count your first week loss?

[millux]

I'm wondering if it's pointless or not, just because it's all glycogen & water. I don't want to think, 'YAY I lost 5lb!' & then when I'm done at the end of this diet (loooong time away), it comes back on when I start eating, so it's like a.. false loss?

Should I count the first week loss, or start counting from the second week? I don't know. :\

What do you guys think is best? :] x

Start from the beginning - the 1st week is always the best loss - so gives you a good boost to continue xx

Absolutely count it and it wont necessarily go back on again - so enjoy it

Of course you count it-it's probably the best loss in a week that you'll get and so is a mahoosive boost. Plus althuogh a lot of it will be glycogen and water, some of it will be fat too!

I counted the first week loss too - a great boost, and helps to keep you going

Count your first week definitely. Then when you finish the diet slowly introduce carbs and keep your calories quite low - that should mean that you lose a bit more weight whilst replacing glycogen so it evens out.

My scales give me %body fat and even in the first 3 days 6lbs lost but 2.5% bodyfat. That equates to 4.3lbs of fat.

Count it - I will!!!
