End of the First Week

I know there is a lot of controversy over how often you should weigh yourself and here I am trying to accomplish a daily weighing. I only do weight on most days with a once a week scaling to all the readings of that my scale will tell me. I got this one a few years ago because it will measure body fat percentage and calculate that as how much weight it represents. This is the primary value I want to see decrease. 

While I had some serious flip flops in weight this past week, overall I am down 3kg / 6.6lb - of which 1.8kg /4lb is body fat. The biggest accomplishment with this for me is that neither my bone density or body water (hydration) decreased. In the end, my body water actually increased marginally. 

While the amount is a lot to lose - this is only the end of the first week, I suspect the drop will slow down. I am dreading the part that seems to throw me off kilter every time - the plateau. 

I am on vacation this coming week, so being active will require more will power than go-to-work-if-you-don't-want-to-get-fired.
