Only .8 pounds!  Actually... probably not.  I think my suspicions were correct last week, in that I couldn't have possibly lost as much weight as the scale said I did.  I messed around with the scale in the middle of the week, and saw that sometimes it'd change my weight up to two pounds different.  I know I lost weight, and I suspect it was more than two pounds, possibly closer to three, but there's no way of knowing for sure now.  I went to the gym every single day, and did cardio for over an hour each time.  And I definitely feel the weight loss.  It feels a bit tighter around my ribs.

It's the same feeling I've been feeling each time... before the inevitable slight rebound.  Which brings up a question... do the rebounds happen that way because I know for certain that I'm losing weight, and then I get over-confident and slide backwards again?  Or perhaps maybe I'm so used to not feeling that way, that I unconsciously want to gain that weight back that I know I lost (and thus fulfilling that set point theory).

Well... here goes another week of going to the gym every day of the week.  Might as well keep it up since I have some momentum started.
