My first 7 days...

mnsmith83

Last Monday night I made a commitment to myself: no more excuses. The weight must come off. I'm half way through phase 1 of the south beach diet, and have put in some serious exercise time every day. I weighed myself last Wednesday, and the scale whimpered, (or was that me?) as it spun around to 230lbs.

Tonight before bed, after an hour and a half of walking today, I weighed myself again:

218.9.

11.1 lbs in 6 days (probably 7, but I didn't get to weigh myself before we started.)

Only 93 to go!!

Good for you Michelle! I agree... I weighed myself and saw that i broke 200 again, and was like oh no. was very dissapointed in myself... I too decided... NO MORE EXCUSES! I know that ill be happier without the extra 30-45pounds that i need to go, and i think that the self confidence that ill gain from it will be worth the hard work breaking terrible habbits, and excesise! Youre doing great, wait to be!

Congratulations that is an awesome first week!! MFP is a lifesaver and really makes whatever "new lifestyle" your starting, it makes it a cinch to track. Best of luck!!
