I weighed myself yesterday morning and to my complete surprise - I had lost 12lbs in one week! I shouted to the wife that I now weighted 306. She came running into the dressing room where the scale is and made me get back on. Sure enough - the scale said the same thing and we both did a little celebration dance. I do not expect this kind of loss to continue, but going from eating everything and no exercise to eating right with evercise does make a difference! Plus - I have quite a bit I can afford to loose!

Wish me luck losing the next 12!

    congrats, keep up the great work.
  • congrats but i'm going to be the voice of reason here, be very careful. please, that is an awfully big loss for just one week. the healthy loss is 1-2 pounds of course most people lose more than that, but 12 pounds is alot, just please be careful!!
    congrats though!!
