Weigh-In

When I started this weight loss journey a few weeks ago I weighed 348lbs.  Last Monday when I weighed in I was up to 351.  Hmm...not exactly the direction I was trying to go in.

This Monday, after a week of following the challenges, chugging my water and really trying to eat only when I was hungry I stepped on the scale and held my breath.

Weight - 344!  Hurrah!  A 7lb loss in one week.  I'm thrilled!!  All of us have had a great week, our combined weight loss total is nearing the 20lb mark after only 3 weeks.  We.Are.Awesome.

This week's challenge is brought to us by Jess.  She suggested a challenge of eating 5 servings of vegetables and fruit per day (originally she said 5 vegetables but after a quick phone call, we've changed it to the food guide recommendation of 5 vegetables AND fruit; mostly because we quickly realized we didn't have the stomach capacity to eat 5 servings of vegetables plus fruit plus protein etc.).  It's a great challenge and one that I will find easy I think.
