One week down...

So, first of all, I'm going to stop weighing myself daily, and I am going to switch to one or two times per week.

I weighed in at 230.0. That's 6.6 lbs in one week! Not too shabby. Of course I was at this weight three days ago. But, clearly the diet is working. I don't feel like I'm being deprived of anything, really. I have the occasional craving for a piece of bread, or a bagel or something. But other than that, it's been great. I've actually eaten some great meals so far. Different stuff. Stuff I probably would never have eaten had it not been for this diet.

The diet touts that most people lose 8 to 13 lbs in the first two weeks. I've lost almost 7 already, so I guess I'm right on track (even if the weight loss has slowed a bit). I'm a little concerned about this week, since I am going to NY on Thursday, and it is going to be much more difficult to stay on the diet while I'm there. But I am definitely going to try and make healthy choices. So we'll see what damage I do to my weight in NY...
