Now I expect to lose a few lbs quickly because they are Christmas weight! After the first two weeks I think it'll get slightly harder. Still though, any loss is a result

I started on the 1st at 196 and today the 9th, I am 188.6. Which is great right? Well, I think it is mostly because I cut out soda. I mean, yes I have changed my diet choices immensely, but I think it is just because I have been drinking all water. I drink upwards of 96oz of water a day. I went out yesterday and bought some workout DVD's to do in my living room. I am not a fan of the gym, and it is just too dang cold to do out and walk outside. I do have a question for y'all though. How many pounds did it take to lose before you actually saw results on your body? I can see the scale going down which is great, however I just wanted to know how long until I can notice results in my clothes. I know it is different for everyone, so I just want personal experiences. Thanks

Challenge Starting Weight: 156.6
Current Weight: 156.0
Change: -0.6
Easter goal: 143
Ultimate goal: 125-130

I thought I'd lose more than .6 the first week so I am a bit disappointed!! However, I'm trying to be patient and positive!

On the brighter side - I stayed within my calorie range for the week; met all of my veggie, fruit and water requirements each day; and I got in all of my cardio and strength training workouts this week.

Goal for next week: Hopefully a loss of 1-2 pounds.

I have had a horrible cold since Jan. 2nd. So this is diet alone. I know it won't be typical, as I seem to gain weight when I start exercising. But that could also be that I eat more when doing so. Will have to make some changes.

Also I can't seem to be able to put it in on the spreadsheet. Hmmm.

Nevermind! Did it on my desktop just fine

3 lbs lost. I'm struggling a bit with snacking in between meals - I think I just need to wait at least 20 minutes after a snack to see if I'm still hungry, because if I don't then I think I didn't eat enough.

Good job everyone with your progress so far!
