What an education...

15 days in. Have been tracking 'everything' and have learned a ton! 1,200 calories doesn't go far, you have to be strategic about your choices. Already seeing positive changes in how I feel and the way my clothes fit. My husband and I are doing this together, which is wonderful! I've tried to get him involved in other weight loss efforts, but this is the first time we're both tracking calories in the same way. He's losing faster, but like he says he has 'easier' pounds to lose at the onset. We've had ice cream cones almost nightly -- but they've always been part of our calorie totals. I commented, "How cool would it be if we went for ice cream cones almost every night and managed to lose a bunch of weight!" We have eaten fish twice using a new marinade I found on the Internet and we're grilling a lot. Walking together in the evenings. Starting to get the momentum going and it seems like things become easier then. Until next time......
