Weightloss Newb/Anxiety

I started WW on Sunday for the first time ever. I'm on the green plan if that matters. Also, I'm a 26-year-old female and I weigh around 240. My goal is to be 140 so I have a lot to lose here.

Every day except yesterday I've had a couple of daily points leftover. I'm measuring my foods and not overdoing it on zero-point items. I am eating significantly smaller portion sizes and my snacks are now fruits and vegetables rather than tons of chips and dip or a big bowl of ice cream. I really feel like I've been doing a good job and I feel proud of myself. Not only has my diet significantly improved, but I've also been exercising every day now. I've always been a total couch potato and since day 1 of starting WW I have been walking 2 miles each day on my treadmill. My goal is to do at least 2 miles per day 5 days per week.

I know I shouldn't, but I've been checking my weight every morning. Yesterday I found that I was basically the same weight as when I started. I know this is stupid because I JUST started and shouldn't expect to see any weight loss yet, but I got really disappointed. I'm scared that when I weigh in on Monday, the scale will be no different than it was on day 1 even though I'm doing so much work.

Is this normal? I've read that your body can retain water if you're exercising a lot and since this is so new for my body I wonder if that's what's happening. I know I'm not eating too little. As I said, I still snack, but I portion my snacks and they're healthy ones. I'm eating all but a couple of my daily points each day.

I'm not going to quit. I know regardless of what the scale says that I'm getting healthier just by getting more active and doing daily cardio to get my heart pumping. I just also really want to lose this weight so I can feel more confident. Help?

9 Things You Can Do Daily To Help Reduce Cellulite

Image
We’re just going to start off by saying that although cellulite may not be the most pleasant thing to have to deal with, it is in fact, totally normal, with an estimated 80 to 90 per cent of women over the age of 25 having cellulite to some degree. Further to this, cellulite doesn’t discriminate, affecting women of all ages and body types (yes, even those who are super lean) — and whilst there is no quick fix or miracle cure, the good news is that there are a few things you can do on a daily basis to help keep those dreaded dimples away. Here, we explain what they are, with the help of trusted naturopath and founder of Edible Beauty , Anna Mitsios. Image: Edible Beauty “ The term cellulite refers to the dimpled appearance of the skin that typically occurs on the hips, thighs, and buttocks, caused by fat deposits that push and distort the connective tissues beneath skin,” Anna tells Sporteluxe . Anna explains that although the exact cause of cellulite is not known, things such a

A Nutritionist On 4 Things To Consider When It Comes To Vegan Supplements

Image
Written by nutritionist, Steph Geddes . For those who may not be aware, vegans do not consume any animal products so essentially remove meat, poultry, eggs, seafood or dairy from their diet. They also don’t consume products made from animal sources such as broths, gelatine and honey. Therefore their diet consists solely of plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.  Whilst this can be considered a very healthy way of eating if the focus is on getting a very well balanced variety of wholefoods foods in one’s diet, it can also mean that vegans may rely on processed foods, refined carbohydrates, added sugars and products full of additives and preservatives as their base diet. If you’re vegan and struggle to get a minimum of 5-7 serves of vegetables, 2-3 serves of fruit as well as plenty of varied grains, legumes, nuts and seeds per day then you should  definitely consider a supplement. Even on a non-vegan very healthy, wholefood based diet, it can be a diff
