    Agreed! ;) Don't think of it as "diet". As long as you change your lifestyle, you won't even stress yourself with the D word. ;)

    Some scale advice! If you get to where you are weighing everyday and get frustrated when it goes up and down, put it away and weigh in only once a week or two. Your weight WILL fluctuate and it is one of those things that if taken too seriously, will make you feel defeated! We have daily and weekly fluctuations from holding water. This is caused by too much sodium, muslce repair, too many carbs, among other things. Just make healthy choices in your food and excercise! Gauge your success by the way your clothes fit for the most part and then as the numbers eventually drop on the scale...its a bonus! You will do FANTABULOUS...enjoy your getting healthy journey!
