How has your first week gone?

Not badly at all. I weighed in at 200.8 this morning, so I'm right on
track for my monthly goal and within spitting distance of that
tremendous 200-lb milestone! (I actually dipped below 200 one day
earlier in the week, but I knew it wouldn't "stick" - I know the way
my weight fluctuates on the way down.)

What are you doing differently that works?
Share your journey!!

Hm. Well, what I'm doing differently might not work for some here; I
am eating a few more carbs, mostly in the form of fruits. We got a
peck of wonderful apples from a farmstand in the Berkshires last
weekend and I've really been enjoying them, often with a little peanut
butter or cheese.

But what really seems to work for me is to eat 4-5 small meals a day,
rather than 2-3 larger ones; by "meal" I include something like a
200-300 calorie "snack," like an apple and cheese or a protein-dense
energy bar. I make sure every "meal" has a significant amount of both
fat and protein.

Hi, Carol Ann!

I'm doing the HAPPY DANCE!!! Weighed myself this morning and I am at
200lbs. YAHOOOO!!!!!

I'm feeling wonderful and I have a new attitude. Before, I was so very
'tuned in' to the scale, but after having reassured myself that I WAS still
doing well (each of my measurements except my bust and calf went down by
almost 1" last month) even if the scale won't budge, it's not a big deal if
it stays the same or goes up 2 or 3 pounds (I know it's water and WILL go
away.) I'm enjoying the compliments and smaller clothes, too.

Only 4 more pounds to my next mini-goal: 100-pound total loss!!!

Hey there, thanks for asking ... not a bad start to the month ... .a couple
of blips but not to worry on the whole ... down three from beginning weight,
2 to go for goal (though I have seen **that** number come and go already
this month!)

Thanks for the support, all .... keep up the good work.

I've hit several major milestones all around the same time:

1) Lost more than 50 pounds.

2) Lost more than a quarter of my original weight.

3) Lost two-thirds of the weight I want to lose.

I just need to keep the energy going and not start feeling like I'm
done -- still quite a way to go!

Awesome!! I'm so impressed!!!
