in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys. I started this on July 17th and I love it! It really is making me take a look at what I am eating and make healthier choices. Doing so, I lost 7 lbs. last week. My goal was only to lose 2 lbs a week, but I did something that I really hate....drink tons of water. I think that was the extra 5 lbs.

Just wanted to say hi and wish everyone success! :bigsmile:

    Thank you everyone! I really hate water but I am making a go of it! I found it was easier when I bought a 32 oz. bottle and keep it filled at my desk. It's much easier to drink 2 of those instead of 8 regular glasses. I know...I know...totally a mental thing....

    Forgive me if my signature keeps changing...I'm still trying to figure this all out!

    I really do. I was on track to lose 2 pounds with the food intake and ended up with the extra 5. I truly don't drink water...hardly at all, normally. I do think it was the trick with me that first week and I'm sure I heard my body say, "Thank you! It's about time!"
