Rhino Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 So I finished up my 3rd week of paleo (with a cheat meal or 2 on the weekends), and I'm over halfway through the first level of the Rebel Fitness Guide. 8 lbs. down, blood sugars looking much better, more energy, clothes fitting less snuggly, and just feeling better all around! I was expecting the weight to come off a little faster, but not disappointed because I'm heading in the right direction. And I'll take better blood sugars over weight loss any day!

zenmom Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Awesome! I have read that a slower weight loss is easier to maintain that a quick one. Keep it up and congrats!

shinigamiPUNCH Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Good job! Even though weightloss is really nice, I think feeling better is more satisfying. And (at least for me) going Paleo is no easy task - so congrats on that! 8lbs in 3 weeks is pretty decent, that's almost 3 lbs a week. Quote Link to comment
This is Seth Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I thought that 3lbs a week was the goal for maintaining healthy weight loss. Either way, congrats. You're making great progress. Quote You ever see those guys who look like they totally used to be in shape? I'm working to get back to that... Link to comment
MegaCarp Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I don't think its a bad thing to lose weight quickly in the beginning (aka first few weeks) because eventually your metabolism will appear to be 'tapering' off where its really just normalizing. I mean Rhino will still lose weight until he hits a happy equilibrium, but it'll be at a rate of maybe 0.5 to 1 lb per week. So dude just keep killing it and don't get down if the scale stops dropping as fast as you'd like! Cause you're doing awesome! Quote Link to comment
The Tin Man Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 3 weeks 8 pounds, nothing to be disappointed with there! Congrats and keep it up! Quote The Tin Man: Cyborg Ranger Tin Man's Out of Date Epic Quest I am what I do. Link to comment
Rhino Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks guys! Not disappointed at all. When I usually diet and exercise, the weight comes off quicker. However, the NF way of life seems like a much more sustainable plan for me. Especially with all my fellow nerds and nerdettes to support me! Quote Link to comment
Novius Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Heck yeah that's awesome. That's a very healthy pace to be losing weight at, keep it up! Quote 6 week challenge (Oct 24 - Dec5) Link to comment
Guest Snake McClain Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 3 weeks 8 pounds, nothing to be disappointed with there! Congrats and keep it up!yeah man 8 pounds in that amount of time is damn good. Also keep in mind in three weeks you have probably added muscle to that especially when using the rebel fitness guide. so more fat has probably been lost than you realize it is just being replaced with some muscle gain.
