body changes ... already? now i am curious ....

well, i am almost 1 week out, 3 weeks since starting opti, and i think i can already notice some very obvious changes in my body.
i am just worried that it may be loss of muscle, not just fat and water.
anyway, i actually think i will head off to walmart today and get a scale. ugh! never thought i would buy one of those sinful devices, but with this relatively obvious shift in my size in 3 weeks - i am curious.
and i am not interested in dropping in to walmart every day for weight-in either. security may question me at some point.
Great results so close out of the gate...when you can feel the change, that is amazing. I am going to try to refrain from jumping on the scale until I notice too...I think you're in for some very good news...and yes, Walmart may get a little nervous with you showing up for your daily weigh-in

sunny i am with you. my shoulders seems a lot smaller, but it seems like i still have my bicepts (thankfully). my thighs feel and look different as well, so is my stomach.
i am pensive but i will still go and check today. it could just be water loss, etc -- but it is fascinating to properly 'see' and 'feel' the difference.
On a whim, I measured my waist this morning. In not quite two weeks of Opti, I've lost 2" from my waist. Mindblowing to me.
