After I Week of training

[Reynaldo_gr]

Here I'm after one full week of training, It may not look like, but actaully I'm 6.6 lbs down, I know you may think that I'm skipping meals or not eating at all, but that's not the case. Back in the time when I use to practice Kung Fu it always took me one month or less to get on shape (we really use to do a lot of cardio), but with the current state of knee this will be a slower process. tried to jogg on Saturday but was no good, I know that jogging only burn 20% more than fast walking but I can't help it. I like to do it. but since I can what i started doing was some Tae Bo II. got a 90 minutes video but I'm taking it easy only go for 30 or 40 minutes trying not to stress too much the bad knee. (since I couldn't train yesterday I did 30 minutes cardio)

This week I'm going Full Body, lets see how this work. hopefully this week I'll go other 2 lbs down, but if not does not really matter because I'm changing fat for muscle.

Hate to bust it to you but that weight you lost was mostly water weight. If you're eating better and working out then that means you have a smaller intake of sodium (salt) which retains water and are also losing alot in sweat. Keep at it though, you should see results within a month. You just don't see progress week to week.

Most people can only expect to lose at most 4lbs of Fat a week, and that's people classed as Morbidly obese. You look anything but that. You look perhaps normal with a little unwanted Fat. Your goal should therefore be about 2lbs a week. 6.6lbs could be a lot of water, obviously some Fat, but also Muscle.

If it's mostly water this time, I'd expect you to be giving the same effort, and see the weight drop next week, to be lower, or you might have a problem that needs taming, if such weight amounts persist, as rapid weight loss isn't cool.

If you consider weighing a key part of your composition tracking, then limit it to once a week, don't get strung up about it, and do it first thing in the morning, same day, after a toilet trip, because if you weigh in the evening, when you're carrying some waste and potential undigested food, you'll get a dud reading, and having a reading that's 1-2lbs out, will mess up your tracking of things.
