Scale weight only 8 lbs. but I bet her body fat % improved.
Besides, average weight loss for a woman with proper diet and exercise is 2 pounds a week. So 8 pounds in 8 weeks is not a major step but her body fat % transformation is.

Workout today
Mainly lifting, supersets upper body. 100% sure no more lingering energy issues or fatigue.
Calories are still maxing out at 1400 and adjusting protein a bit on workout days.
Energy levels are really good. It is amazing how much gluten and sugar can bloat andmake you lethargic and make your joints ache. After lifting or hoops/soccer I don't have the same soreness despite same maximum effort level.
Almost a month with no gluten or most sugars (some in the protein bars I use as a snack but no more than 4g all including sugar alcohols) and keto diet and feeling very well. Weight keeps coming down slowly and next official weigh in for me is Friday morning (I don't count the 100 times a week I weigh myself before then
).

).Don't become obsessed with weighing yourself and getting crazy over small changes compared to the previous time you weighed. This can drive you crazy. Focus on the longer term trends.(I don't count the 100 times a week I weigh myself before then
100% correct. I am doing it more to learn about my body and its weight at different times or after different meals but I am really not as obsessed as I make it sound
. Also is a nice motivator throughout the week as I see the weight change but I am trying to limit it.For me it has become a habit of weighing myself once per day: after getting up and before eating/drinking anything. I write down the result but don't react on it immediately. Once per week (or less often) I type the results in a spreadheet and look at the longer term average (last 7 days, last 30 days). Based on those data points do I decide whether I want to make some changes.100% correct.
