This week was hard for me. I really wanted to lose that one pound, but was down to the last night before weigh in and nervous. I have been eating more fresh fruit for snacks and less fattening foods. Last night my children had tater tots and breaded fish filets. I chose to eat one piece of a soft tortilla with a dab of ranch dressing, a piece of cheese and a piece of ham, only a 140 calories, and a small candy bar ice cream snack 80 calories. And this morning I weighed in and lost that one dreaded pound. Had I gone with the greasy fish and taters I don't think I would have made it.

It has been one month and I have lost a total of 5 pounds. I am so excited. I know I have a lot more to go, but I take it one week at a time and I like that. This is all about changing your lifestyle and it is easier to do that then to diet, I think. Good luck all.
