Milk, protein powder, frozen banana and almond butter but you can really add anything. This usually holds me through lunch ;or often is lunch and then I have a light snack around 3). [/quote]

Did you lose weight with smoothies? What else were you eating throughout the day?

My weight has been creeping up over the last two years. I gained 20lbs.

While I’ve tried eating healthy to lose weight, I’ve been frustrated by feeling hungry and only losing a pound or two. [b]The relatively quick progress of dropping 6lbs in just over a week has inspired me to stick with it.[/b] I’m committed to doing this throughout September to see if I continue to lose weight.

I’m going to focus on (lite) weight training and muscle/strength building starting this weekend. Sticking with walking this week. I basically went from very sedentary (office job) with 1k steps/day to 6-10k steps/day, and it’s helping. I’m going to build in a 30 min walk during my lunch hour (in addition to a morning and evening walk).

I basically eliminated added sugar…which was hard. But I must say I feel better.

I’m perimenopausal, and everything seems hard now ;0)

My real goal is to drop a size and build muscle tone. [/quote]

I can’t believe no one has said this yet, but … Water weight, OP.  It is next to impossible to lose 6 pounds of fat in one week, and you’re not going to see that continue. You lost a lot of water weight in week 1 because you stopped eating a breakfast that was likely very high in carbs and salt, both of which cause you to hold onto extra water.

Yes, I realize water weight drops off first.

Nonetheless, I’m feeling pretty good about the lost pounds and the fact that my pants aren’t tight. [/quote]
