Is it working?

Last night the test strip was 'moderate' and mauve. Now it is dark red. Am I going too fast? Also I ordered a Chicken Caesar salad for lunch but later couldn't find the carb count for the dressing. Help?

And my head hurts. In the front. Is this normal?

I didn't weigh myself before starting. Does the weight come off right away? I would hate to miss the most accurate starting point.

Thank you!
