Today was my first weigh in. I started this adventure on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 (yes, tax day in the United States) and plan to weigh in once per week. In the past seven days I have lost 1.2 pounds. Now that isn’t the two pounds per week that is my goal, but two pounds per week is the average that I must maintain to reach my goal of being Thin By 35. I am happy with the weight loss considering the amount of effort I put into it. Admittedly, I was a bit lazy over the past week.

However, seeing the scale move downwards has helped to motivate me. I will work out this week. I will eat well this week. I will make wise choices this week.
