Wed, Jan 4, 2012 - I lost another 1.5 lbs, so am now 18 pounds from my goal. I know this initial rapid weight loss is all fluids and will continue to see quick results for a few day or maybe a week. Over the holidays, I ate a lot more of the types of foods that I don't normally eat the rest of the year, so I expect that the weight gained during this holiday break is mostly fat and not fluid. So it will be interesting to see where the "rapid loss" stops and what my actually settles in at.

Over the Thanksgiving break, I think it netted out at about a pound over my pre-break weight after the fluid weight loss ceased. But, that was a one week break and the Christmas break was almost 3 weeks, so I expect the results will be less positive.

I am still investigating the Fitbit web site. Reading the posts in the comments section is very helpful and provides some honest feedback to problems and questions that users have.
