Welcome to Weigh-in, Day One. The result? 3 pounds lost! Not too shabby. Honestly, I was hoping for a little more given that it is the first week of the diet and all that jazz. However, having said that, I'm thrilled with a three pound loss and won't complain for one second!
I've still got a long way 'til my goal, though, so I'm going to keep on going strong.
Today is the day I need to write my menu and my shopping list. I'll share the highlights with you tomorrow.
Suggestion: For a satisfying sweet treat, try freezing your favorite yogurt flavor. You will feel like you are eating frozen yogurt at home, while keep the calories low. (Try to only freeze it for 3-4 hours. I froze mine overnight and it took about 10 minutes to thaw enough to spoon through).

Congrats on a great week! Be careful not to let that calorie count fall too much. It can make your body hold on to poundage instead of sending it into the atmosphere for others to absorb!
Keep it up!
