Small daily improvements are the key to staggering long-term results

That is a great quote, so true, and so relevant to what we are all trying to do.

Your desire to change must be greater than your desire to stay the same.

Water - 80 oz

Exercise - none

Congratulations Bob's wife I agree that you should still be able to celebrate (sensibly) or your plan wouldn't have a chance to stick for a lifetime.

That's a good way to think about it, but I don't think I'd call an occasional high calorie meal a cheat. It can be a planned part of your diet. I sure doesn't sound like a binge.

Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday, Mrs Bob
Celebrating a special birthday is not "cheating", it's living.

You've had a great first week, keep up the good eating and I am sure the weight loss will continue. I look forward to reading about your progress.

This month's choices are next month's body.

I like that one. Sometimes next year rather than next month but still a great way of looking at it. Also: congratulations on a massive loss for this week

 

[Cate]

Wow! Well done on the 6.4lb weight-loss, Bob & eating more veggies

 

[aiminglow]

Wow! Sudden drop on Day 7! Good for you!

 

[bluemastiff]

After weighing myself this morning I came in at 301.2 which would make my total loss for the first week 7.4 lbs. I know the losses will slow down as my body adjust the changes and will have to tweak things as I go but so far so good. As for tweaking things I am going to start to add some cardio starting week 2.

 

[Cate]

You're off to a very good start & have determination & a plan which helps. Go, Bob

 

[bluemastiff]
