Wednesday's Weigh In!!!

Let me just say right now, I am beginning to believe my scales!!! I lost another 2.2 pounds this week!!!

A few things that I am doing right, (for me anyway) are:

• 1. Keeping my food diary ONLINE!!!
• 2. Counting my calories and sticking to it.
• 3. Decreasing my caloric intake each week after my weigh in.
• 4. Exercising when I can...not often enough, but maybe I will find the time.

My results so far...

• 1. A total weight loss of 9.2 pounds...after 4 1/2 weeks of counting calories.
• 2. Inches lost all around...totalling 6 inches.
• 3. I seem to have more energy.
• 4. I have a better attitude about my figure.
• 5. My clothes are fitting looser.
