Faith's First Week Weigh In

Well, according to the scale I have lost 3 lbs....I went from 245 lbs. to 242 lbs.. It has been a rough week (we had a death on my husband's side of the family), so I was actually surprised that I lost 3 lbs.. This is the 1st time in quite sometime that I have seen the numbers on the scale going down instead of up, so I am pretty excited. So far it has been a pretty simple strategy that I am sticking to in order to lose the weight: I am watching my portion sizes, I am not eating past 8 PM, I have restricted my daily calorie intake to between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, I am watching what I eat (I do however allow myself one cheat day to eat some of the foods I enjoy, but I now consume them in much smaller portions), I am walking on my treadmill for half an hour to an hour each day, I am drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day, and I am trying to be more active. Hopefully, by this time next year I will be healthier and at a much healthier weight.
